No president would have been better |

No president would have been better And by that, I literally mean NO president. That is, if the office were just left vacant for 8 years, the country would be in profoundly better shape. http://letters.salon.com/opinion/conason/2007/09/28/aznar_iraq/permalink/1febebc30da6eaed62ac800ede6fc25f.html

5. Correction: January 19 2001 - when the Clinton/Gore term expired |
|
We haven't have a valid election, the elected president was not inaugurated, we had a takeover junta.

3. That depends on if Cheney, et al, had still been running the place. |
|
If all of the president's idiots had been running the place without him, the net result would probably have been the same.

Though come to think of it, the USA probably had essentially 'no president' in the mid/late 80s, when Reagan was almost certainly already suffering from Alzheimers; and other nasty people managed to fill the gap pretty effectively.
