Where would these respective presidents be on the political spectrum?
Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and Barack Obama.
Most presidents govern as moderates.
In a hundred years, they will all be Zachary Tylers and Millard Filmores except Obama will be remembered as the first black president.
Literally, in 100 years people will know Obama was black and perhaps that Johnson escaped the Vietnam war.
I do not know much about Ford and where he stood but he appeared to be on the conservative side,
Obama would be close to the middle but left leaning,
Johnson - far left
It's 3, 7 and 5.
The first two being slightly before the last.
LBJ is a firm leftist and Obama is an admitted socialist. They will be in about the same place on the spectrum, several steps to the left of center. The difference is that LBJ spent his lifetime building a political career while Obama entered the White House with nearly zero experience. LBJ was able to leverage his political capital to accomplish his Great Society. For a particularly disgusting story on LBJ, read about the Silver Star he "earned" in WW2. Obama took the fewest meetings in history with policy makers. His lack of experience is reflected on how little was accomplished during his eight years in office.
Ford… Not elected to the Presidency… Was a moderate, often at odds with fellow republicans regarding social issues. That feuding went on even after Ford left office. Ford was an "insert" after Agnew and then Nixon resigned from office. The republicans needed a centrist that could perform damage control. Ford would be a centrist, perhaps one step to the right of center.
- Why do Presidents live so long? Do they get better healthcare than normal people? Jimmy Carter is 94 and still alive, George H.W. Bush died at 94, Gerald Ford died at 93, Ronald Raegan lived to 93. How come they live so long? Most normal people die at like 80-85, sometimes late 70s. So why are they living so long? Obama will probably make it to 100.
- What was presidents Ford most major accomplishment? I have two but I don't know which is better RESIDENT FORD AMELIORATED THE ENERGY CRISIS OF THE 1970S or HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES ENDED RECESSION IN THE UNITED STATES do you eyes have any other that seem better or which is better?
- I simply can't see these political posers - Blasey-Ford and now Ramirez - as assault victims the way I do actual assault victims. How? Can anyone not see this for what it is? A desperate political party with no scruples staging an all-out, childish smear campaign. The impact of crying wolf will backfire on them this Friday and in November. But FAR WORSE is the impact it will have on the actual victims of sexual assault. Are they happy?
- How would you rank the post-WWII Presidents based on their foreign policies? What Presidents since WWII have had the best and worst foreign policies? My list Harry Truman Dwight Eisenhower John F. Kennedy Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton George Hhomework Bush Ronald Reagan Barack Obama Gerald Ford Richard Nixon George W. Bush Lyndon Johnson Didn't rank the current POTUS because he's only served half a term.
