okay, let's talk about a decent candidate that actually had a chance to win. McCain might be one, but I can't think of another. As far as I'm concerned, the last decent human being who was president was Jimmy Carter. He is a very decent human being. Unfortunately, he was not a very good president. Just my opinion, but decency might inhibit doing a great job as POTUS.

well the WMD thing was pretty inept

as leadership in the political sense and getting his way, quite able

but as truth justice and the american way pretty goddam bad

texas style he then went about the eradication of the injuns

started a whole second war because of alien fear, daddy shame, and power love

but he had baseball

so decency. they were both decent men

i like Sr. better

Not me. I prefer W.
Sr. exploded our National debt at a rate far beyond ANY other POTUS.
Pluswise HE gave us Clarence Thomas!
Dumbest Supreme Court Justice in our History.
And likely the most unqualified!

Maybe it was the Reagan tax cuts he opposed - voodoo economics. Then when he got in he bucked the party and raised taxes for the sake of the country
politics be damned.
Clarance Thomas very bad and Dan Quayle was insurance policy that not even Bush’s worst enemy would want him dead.
James Baker very very good.
End of Cold War and constructive skillful policy and rapport with Gorbachov - very very good.
George the Elder good Prez. He was the last competent Republican Prezident and will keep that title for a long time to come.

Hard to determine that, but I didn't take to wither one of them, and I lean strong to the right

Bush Sr., imho is a strong supporter of the One world under one government thingy.. His New World Order definitely not something that will be a good thing. = Wolf dressed as a sheep

Interesting that you pivot to job approval as an attack on a President's quality. Didn't hear this from 2017-2020
Lol

1. Hit early vaccine targets faster than initial projections, the vaccine rollout was awesome
2. Finally pulled out of Afghanistan; for the first time in decades the US is out of international conflicts and the pullout resulted in zero American deaths from the Taliban to my knowledge
3. Has nearly fully ended the drone war in Yemen
4. Passed the American Rescue plan which has proved to be a massive economic stimulus and pulled millions out of poverty
5. Passed the BIB WITH Republican votes, the largest infrastructure package in a generation which Trump utterly failed to accomplish
6. Is working towards new accomplishments like the BBB, voting rights, Iran Deal, etc, and this is all done with the slimmest majority in the Senate and House - super impressive
7. A laundry list of great EO's - could go into detail on almost all of them

That's just what I can think of now. A pretty successful first year considering what he was left with and the slim majority in house and senate

You listed
1. Afghanistan, a full positive for the admin
2. COVID, which I give him plus marks for in terms of the vaccine distribution; can't really control the new variants but hopefully omnicron gives us herd immunity
3. Inflation, which is debatably even linked to Biden
4. Cities burning and kids learning remotely, which happened mostly under Trump(?) and has nothing to do with the Biden Presidency anyway (remote learning is a state and local policy)
5. Mandates, which was debatable at the time but probably a bad idea in hindsight, at least in the way it was applied
6. Uniting the country, which was a bad promise to make, but pulling as many votes as he did for BIB was awesome

Didn't see the "can't pass the leg so you change the rules" argument when Republicans flipped on ACB, or use gerrymandering and the Electoral College to gain huge advantages but whatever lmao. He hasn't packed the courts so that's a non-argument.
