Possibly one of the more profound things I've seen on GC recently.

my fav. president is bill clinton. he was the best one. now before some of you lose it and tell me why my answer is apparently wrong, let me explain. i dont want to choose someone who was president when i was not alive. i want to live through his time in office so i can experience it for myself- instead of picking someone based on what i heard, seen, or read.

I'm not a Texan, and I'm not a racist. I have read at least 20 books on the JFK administration and the assassination. Those that go into the "whys" of what happened when will tell you that, since Senator Yarborough and Governor Connelly were not on speaking terms, the Democratic party was split and probably would not be able to deliver the votes at the 1964 Convention.

"If the election were held this [1963] November, Kennedy would probably lose Texas. And he knew it. There had been talk of coming to Texas for more than a year, but the decision was finally pinned down... the President would come to Texas in late November.... Besides, not visiting Dallas, the most important city in the state, was unthinkable."
They Killed the President! by Robert Sam Anson, 1975
(closest book on hand)

edited for needed punctuation.

i keep forgetting that you guys aren't from Dallas
there's an inside joke about the whole thing
and no, transplant Texans aren't in on it
because we learned it in middle/high school

and the joke involves 'click click boom'
considering he was killed with a rifle, there wouldn't have been two clicks
just a 'clock boom'

Well,

i went to HS all 4 years and Texas and i never heard anything like this. Course, i went to HS outside of SA, it must be a Dallas thing.

Just another reason to add to my list of why I never want to live in Dallas. I'd hate my kids to learn that assasination is a joke.

I've only lived here in Dallas for a few years, but lived in Texas most of my life and I've never heard that assasination joke either :confused: I grew up in conservative College Station though so maybe thats why.

Thomas Jefferson
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton

William McKinley because he was an SAE!

Um, 8 years of prosperity due to a previous president??? Um, no.

Neither Bill Clinton nor George H. W. Bush had much to do with the state of the economy during the 1990s. Presidents do not "run" the economy, as we do not live in a Soviet style command-and-control society.

There are absolutely no credible economic metrics to back up the silly notion that the Clinton Administration did anything of macro-economic benefit for the United States.

George Washington

Oh, and my favorite president is G.W.
He was the man.

My favorite Presidents are Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Harry Truman.
