Happy Presidents Day

For Presidents' Day, I offer the following.

Acording to Forbes' article Presidents And Prosperity:
Clinton's two terms in office (1993-2001) were marked by strong numbers for gross domestic product (GDP) and employment growth and especially for deficit reduction. His overall ranking puts him first among the ten postwar presidents.
The article only compares presidents whose terms have run their course, so current president George W. Bush was not included in the ranking. Forbes, by the way, is not a member of the "liberal media".

Here are some other nice sources of information about past presidents: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

If you find history too boring, these may be more to your liking: 1, 2, 3, and don't forget 4!

Mochi, technically it really isn't "President's Day"--its "George Washington's Birthday". That is the official holiday, and the Presidents Day thing is something Hallmark dreamed up to sell more cards...

What a Moron..President's Day IS an REAL holiday, check the history. I'll make it easy- just put "history of Presidents Day" in any search engine.

As far as the original post- Clinton was is the right place at the right time in history, that or he actually has to thank Al Gore for "inventing" the internet which actually accounted for most of the increase to GDP and job growth in the 90's. Liberals are a joke. Like we'd be better off with any of those previous dem pres candidate clowns in office- Dukakis? Mondale? You gotta be kidding me.

"Liberals are a joke." I love that. "What a moron." Even better. Don't make an argue just insult people, that's the conservative way.

Well, "Anonymous", all I did was provide a link to a magazine article. A fairly conservative one at that. Numbers are numbers, no?

And regarding holidays that are dreamed up by Hallmark to sell more cards: that's capitalism, man! What are you, some kinda commie?
