Personally i think Bill Clinton was one of the best USA presidents ever. Very likable, hard-working, and really paid a special interest in the problems here in Ireland and the North (and yes before someone mentions it i am aware of that infamous incident that he got himself involved in). A very under-rated president, although i am aware that someone mite make the point that the man that followed him made him look good. But still Clinton was a great president

George Bush Jr followed Clinton. Was he any good......am i think you should poll it and i think ur answer would be fairly conclusive. I can't think of one good achievement he had in his 8 years in charge
lincoln without doubt is the greatest u.s president by winning the civil war he preserved the union which enabled the u.s to expand and become the greatest power on earth since the roman empire the worst is probably george bush jr aside from been a war criminal which lets face it most u.s presidents have been anyway he destroyed his own economy through bad management
agree with jimbo mostly..has to be lincoln... google gettysburg address!!... most inspirational speech other than the letters from mandella to beko...imo
worst had to be truman!! to arrive us all into the infamey of nuclear bombs not once! but to do it again then on nagasaki!! imo...

I would agree, even though Lincoln ignored, and subsequently broke the sacred US Constitution..

gillyloves69: how did he do that petalbabe ?
Because in the Constitution all states have the right to seccede from the Union if so desired. Lincoln did not allow it to happen with the Southern States prior to the Civil War, therefore actually breaking the terms of the Constitution.
