To me, Obama still has the potential to be a great (liberal) president. He's already gotten health care done, even if it was a compromise of a compromise. The economy is showing signs of getting better. The DOW has jumped 3000 points since he took office. The jobs picture is still crappy but hey, I got one locked up for after I graduate in a week so it can't be that bad

I did like Clinton, and the economic prosperity enjoyed during his term was solid. Still, his entire 2nd term was wasted on scandal and it paved the way for the worst president in my life time. So for me, it's Obama but I'm willing to re-evaluate further down the road in his presidency

clinton was truly a great (governing) president, too bad he was such a classless clown in his personal life.
