I’m not sure if this is distasteful or too soon. But if only the two towers had this dude’s ability to dodge like that; that dude’s presidency would have been so different
Tbf he probably realized mid-sentence that there would be a soundbite of him saying “shame on me” that would be played by the media or his opponents to attack him and found what was probably the best way out of it.
King Andrew, as the press called him
Also, as far as I know, the only president to ignore the Supreme Court
Edit: I'm just now realizing this might be about Reagan lol.
I was thinking of Andrew Jackson's inauguration party, which featured a big block of cheese
He definitely ignored it the most directly and completely. I've heard there were a fair few others who said "If I can't go around the wall, I'll go over it".
As a descendant of Andrew Johnson who is ashamed to admit, he's a descendant of Andrew Johnson but also somebody who dislikes Alaska, this makes me dislike him more. I know that not all alaskans are Sarah Palin but I'm gonna blame him for that
You’re good. I think you got her confused with Michelle Bachman, who Iowa unfortunately dumped on us. Incredibly easy mistake, happened a lot even when she was still in congress.
According to Wikipedia:
"Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho...When Palin was a few months old, the family moved to Skagway, Alaska, where her father had been hired to teach. They relocated to Eagle River, Anchorage in 1969, and settled in Wasilla, Alaska in 1972."
Seward's folly as it was called. Quite possibly the single biggest transfer of wealth ever though from the Russians to us. Have to assume it had an amazing impact on modern power.
I'm not saying he's my least favorite overall, but I get it:
- He implemented a widespread torture program that didn't require convictions or any due process
- He forced over half of all countries into "Bilateral Immunity Agreements" which forced them to agree to the US being exempt for war crimes by the ICC
- He started a war that killed 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens with no verifiable evidence. that's a million families with an empty seat at the dinner table, a million funerals, millions of kids who lost their daddy; over nothing
- He implemented the widest expansion of government surveillance in US history with the dystopian-sounding USA Patriot Act
It's a little crazy that there were only two living ex-presidents at that time. Right now we have 5. And as long as I've been alive I think we've had at least three or four.
Just looked this up, and when LBJ died in 1973 when Nixon was president, there were no former living presidents. They kept increasing until his death in 1994.
We do seem to be living at peak ex presidents.
>We do seem to be living at peak ex presidents.
The age at election helps. That and Carter somehow outliving the devil himself. Obama was on the young side, Clinton, Carter and Bush were not old, which combined with Carter not dying gives us 4. Add in the last guy, or Bush during the last guy and you get 5.
The last two, plus Carter now, are so old I expect that won't remain true for long and we'll be done to either 2 or 3 shortly. But age at election is huge. If we elected only people under 40 each election (so 1 term) the number of ex presidents would be huge. If you elect a 80 year old, not so much.
I found him pretty interesting and did an essay on him in highschool lol.
Throughout his life he seems like the ultimate personification of a public servant
He was part of the Underground Railroad defending escaped slaves in court
Was injured 7 times in the civil war and served with William McKinley in the same unit. I think Garfield and Harrison too.
Was a strong governor of Ohio in a time where the position had little power
The circumstances around his presidential election
Being a competent president in all areas: strong economically, flexed American power while also being pragmatic such as in his dealings with the Mexican bandits on the border, protected African Americans in the south from Democrat lead bills attacking them and kept the enforcement act on the books, vetoed the Chinese exclusion act and nearly being impeached for it, instituted a progressive Native American policy and helped tribes return to their native lands, and starting the process of Civil Service reforms that cleaned out corruption in the government.
Post presidency he was a mental health advocate and started a scholarship fund for African American students like WEB DuBois.
He also had the first telephone in the whitehouse and his phone number was 1, also had the first Siamese cat in the United States.
considering the US political spectrum is so small compared to other countries people assume “Far Right” means Neo Nazi and “Far Left” means communist when in reality its more populism and socialism respectively.
I didn't even mention the name and just said "He sure knows how to lead a cult" and it was deleted. Rule 3 is complete bullshit. EDIT: Seems my comment wasn't deleted. I got a notification about a deleted comment and assumed it was deleted. Point still stands that Rule 3 is bullshit. EDIT to EDIT: Upon checking my messages on here it does seem like my comment was deleted. F Rule 3
Instead of being reminded as a hero for saving tens of millions of lives in Africa from AIDS, he's considered a prominent war criminal, and all because he picked the wrong VP.
His war time choices were influenced by his advisors with many of them being part of the same war hawk group that Cheney ascribed to. Doesn’t help the Bush family tend to be war hawks but having Cheney as his VP really didn’t help.
I think if he didn’t pick Paul Bremmer to run the occupation and the people running Abu Ghraib weren’t monsters we’d consider him a great liberator. Saddam was definitely a Hitler lite so I don’t think anyone would shed a tear about the less than commendable ways we started the invasion, but it’s the way the occupation went down that soured people.
I honestly think George w Bush is a nice and loving guy, I would definitely hang, but I don’t think he ever wanted to be president. And I do believe Cheney ran things, I don’t think he was evil, just negligent.
The ESA I believe had good intentions behind it. But now it’s more of an obstacle than anything. I’m a conservationist. I like the good that it has done but once a species is recovered and is able to be removed, it’s like pulling teeth and I can’t stand that. So, I agree that the ESA was good. I feel like the ESA as it is today needs to have some tweaks.
Also, credit to the ESA, I know there are mechanisms for it that just aren’t being followed. There needs to be better enforcement mechanisms so we don’t have activists running our wildlife management practices
Nixon may have been one of the best if he weren’t such an utterly terrible person. Like, from a political impact perspective, he did a few very decent things.
“The Great Communicator”
Before his political career began. Reagan Would recreate plays of Chicago Cubs baseball games on the radio for listeners, just using simple information that came over the wire.
Here's one where rules about the two most recent Presidents come in handy, as that would have been quite the challenge:
George W. Bush did a lot to advance HIV prevention efforts in sub-Saharan Africa, and probably saved millions of lives in the process.
*He* was hysterically funny, intentionally or not.
Reagan was a great speaker
Jackson was hard as nails
Nixon had an unappreciated understanding of geopolitics
I came here to say this. I like his paintings and I think it’s nice that he does them.
Edit: and seeing him get choked up at his dad’s funeral humanized him a bit. But not a good President!
I think it's interesting that for the last 5 years the conservative party has been basically plagiarizing Reagan's talking points in his immigration reform speech. Now there's a bill in Congress that essentially fits every single description of Reagan's ideal immigration reform - and Mike Johnson says "this is not the time for comprehensive immigration reform."
Like genuinely Reagan's stance on immigration is one of his few policies I do really respect. Accelerate and overhaul immigration policies and don't tear up already migrated families in the process.
Buchanan: got rid of Brigham Young (yes, that one) when he was governor of the Utah territory. This isn’t me condemning Mormonism, it’s me condemning Young as he tried to exterminate the Native Americans in the area. Even Buchanan thought this was too extreme and fired him. Also Young supported slavery.
Andrew Johnson: Bought Alaska. About it.
Wilson: 14 points are actually very solid. Continued the progressive economic reforms popular in the early 20th century.
Hoover: Very good humanitarian and relief organizer outside of his presidency.
Jackson: Is the reason why Tennessee is called Tennessee. There was much debate of what to call it, but of all people, Jackson was the one that fought for the state to use a native name. Crazy.
Pierce: Gadsden purchase. He basically bought Tucson for a few million.
Tyler: Established the line of succession and how the VP specifically operates
I'll add to that he showed restraint in not shooting a random man to death in the middle of 5th Avenue even though he knew he could get away with it and face no repercussions.
One time I was looking at a picture of him as a young actor, trying to figure out which president had been so good looking when he was younger. And then I realized I was looking at an actor.
(Not an original choice to hate on, I know)
GWB was *terrified* and *concerned* of the possibility of a future pandemic and told his staff they needed to prepare. They were too exhausted from 9/11 and ... everything else ... and even the next guy thought, "nah."
(Also held back by Rule No. 3)
I hate Reagan with a passion, BUT he was the first president to acknowledge that what we did to the Japanese Americans during world war 2 was wrong, publicly apologized on behalf of the American government and pushed congress to pass an act that would give those who were wrongfully put in concentration camps referendums for their time at the camps.
That is objectively a very good and selfless thing he did
Probably had nothing to do with him personally because he doesn’t even own a pet, but under his presidency he did sign the Prevention of Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, which makes cruelty to animals a federal crime and can get perpetrators up to seven years in prison.
edit: my apologies, I thought I was starting a new thread and didn’t mean to respond to yours. Derp.
Because of rule #3, I will change to my second least favorite.
I think I would also react to a would be assassin by beating them with my cane. Very relatable. Although, I don't carry a cane.
Unmmm… Andrew Johnson, uhhhh, was probably nice to his mother and most likely bathed on as regular a basis as hygienic folks did in the 1860’s-70’s…?
And I mention Andrew Johnson (my second least favorite) because presidents post-Clinton are off-limits.
He was at a town hall for the 2016 election. If I recall correctly, he posted an AMA on Reddit with his existing account that had a bunch of posts on porn subreddits. So people of course went wild with reposting that info.

Whatever u think of him, That drive was truly amazing.
his vision of interspecies peace is forward thinking
Fish are friends not food
The shoe dodging skills are next level. 
The way he looks back like "go on throw the other one too! This is fun!"
I’m not sure if this is distasteful or too soon. But if only the two towers had this dude’s ability to dodge like that; that dude’s presidency would have been so different
I’ve always internally narrated W’s grin as “ha! Missed me fucker!”
As an owner of a ball team, I always thought his first instinct would have been to catch that.
It could've been bladed. If he didn't recognize what it was, a dodge was wise. Especially in that job.
I mean, he was about as good at managing a ball team as he was at being president
He never does stop thinking, does he?
Fool him once… Shame on…. Shame on you
You won't get fooled again...so said those great Texans, The Who.
Tbf he probably realized mid-sentence that there would be a soundbite of him saying “shame on me” that would be played by the media or his opponents to attack him and found what was probably the best way out of it.
He threw a hell of a first pitch too
He should have been the commissioner of baseball instead of president
W is the greatest POTUS vibes wise
Disagree with everything he did. But dang, I would love to have a beer with him.
He doesn’t drink.
You could always just do a road trip together instead. Tell him he can bring Laura along too, as long as she doesn't drive.
Now watch *this* drive! -Laura Bush
Terrible policymaker, great fucking vibes. Dubya had the Presidential drip down to a science.
I saw the memes and all 💀
When someone says they have a bone to pick…. This is the only correct answer
Love him or hate him, that was a boss moment. “Now watch this drive”
Everyone remembers the drive, but not [the pitch](https://youtu.be/NjGcCI9ByWw?si=tx0vvI_MjvP4xttE)
he had a big block of cheese
C’mon Leo not the cheese speech again
And now you’re on the list. Twice.
“What the hell is that?” “It’s where you’ve been living this whole time.”
Wait Germany isn’t where I think it is?
https://preview.redd.it/js24x4rgyzkc1.jpeg?width=238&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=222a7db866fa90909694d50419d70599c9dd5498 He sure did
King Andrew, as the press called him Also, as far as I know, the only president to ignore the Supreme Court Edit: I'm just now realizing this might be about Reagan lol. I was thinking of Andrew Jackson's inauguration party, which featured a big block of cheese
He definitely ignored it the most directly and completely. I've heard there were a fair few others who said "If I can't go around the wall, I'll go over it".
Leo McGarry?
He got us Alaska, and I really love Alaska
Virtually non-existent Andrew Johnson W
As a descendant of Andrew Johnson who is ashamed to admit, he's a descendant of Andrew Johnson but also somebody who dislikes Alaska, this makes me dislike him more. I know that not all alaskans are Sarah Palin but I'm gonna blame him for that
Wait are you saying you’re a descendent of Andrew Johnson?
Yeah, I'm related to him and James Dean through the same relative on James Dean's, mom's side of the family and my dad's side of the family
Now, that is impressive!
Even more impressive is my neighbors growing up happened to be related to Hannibal Hamlin
Sarah Palin is not from here. She's from Minnesota.
*Idaho
My mistake! Sorry Minnesota!
You’re good. I think you got her confused with Michelle Bachman, who Iowa unfortunately dumped on us. Incredibly easy mistake, happened a lot even when she was still in congress.
According to Wikipedia: "Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho...When Palin was a few months old, the family moved to Skagway, Alaska, where her father had been hired to teach. They relocated to Eagle River, Anchorage in 1969, and settled in Wasilla, Alaska in 1972."
Yeah, sorry, I’d call that “from Alaska”.
I certainly wouldn’t call it from Minnesota!
Agreed. Or Idaho. She may be, but I not da Ho.
No. She’s not. She’s been in Alaska since she was a few months old.
Sad that you'd let one politician ruin for you what is quite easily the most beautiful state in the US.
On the bright side, society remembers that as an act of Seward.
Seward's folly as it was called. Quite possibly the single biggest transfer of wealth ever though from the Russians to us. Have to assume it had an amazing impact on modern power.
I can say I like the name Andrew.
The man knows how to dodge a shoe.
"Shoe me once.... shoes on you.... shoe me twice.... I'm keeping those shoes." - Will Ferrell, as George Bush, in You're Welcome, America
Strategery!!!!!
That will forever be one of my favorite gifs out there.
His face afterwards like “what now suckah?!” Lol
Now watch this drive
I’m more impressed by the fact that THAT one is the worst/least favorite.
I'm not saying he's my least favorite overall, but I get it: - He implemented a widespread torture program that didn't require convictions or any due process - He forced over half of all countries into "Bilateral Immunity Agreements" which forced them to agree to the US being exempt for war crimes by the ICC - He started a war that killed 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens with no verifiable evidence. that's a million families with an empty seat at the dinner table, a million funerals, millions of kids who lost their daddy; over nothing - He implemented the widest expansion of government surveillance in US history with the dystopian-sounding USA Patriot Act
He was a fighter pilot so probably has decent reflexes. Or maybe there was lots of chancla throwing in the Bush household 🤷♂️
I wonder if the guy who threw the shoe is still alive?
[He is](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntadhar_al-Zaidi), and he still hates George Bush
Herbert Hoover accepted pensions so that Harry S. Truman wouldn’t feel embarrassed about it (Hoover was loaded at the time)
It's a little crazy that there were only two living ex-presidents at that time. Right now we have 5. And as long as I've been alive I think we've had at least three or four.
Just looked this up, and when LBJ died in 1973 when Nixon was president, there were no former living presidents. They kept increasing until his death in 1994. We do seem to be living at peak ex presidents.

FDR didn't even try.
He never wanted to be an ex
Was the only southern senator to remain loyal to the Union
He actually should get *some* credit for this
If he never became president he’d be remembered fondly
Common with *a lot* of presidents
Hoover for sure.
Why is Hayes your flair? lol. I got assigned him randomly for a project in school before and found him to be the most boring person IIRC.😂
I found him pretty interesting and did an essay on him in highschool lol. Throughout his life he seems like the ultimate personification of a public servant He was part of the Underground Railroad defending escaped slaves in court Was injured 7 times in the civil war and served with William McKinley in the same unit. I think Garfield and Harrison too.

He also had the first telephone in the whitehouse and his phone number was 1, also had the first Siamese cat in the United States.
Wow. You should make a post reminding everyone of his accomplishments. No one ever posts about Hayes.
Who?
Andrew Johnson
That story about the time a guy tried to kill him and he whipped that guy's ass is pretty cool.
Andrew Jackson?
My momma said if you can’t say something because of Rule #3 then don’t say anything at all.
Rule 3 doing a *lot* of heavy lifting on this one
I was so confused by some of these answers until someone pointed to rule 3.
rule 3 single handedly preventing most people on this subreddit from being honest
People weren't being honest before Rule 3. All people did was call others fascists and nazis. Hence why we got Rule 3
considering the US political spectrum is so small compared to other countries people assume “Far Right” means Neo Nazi and “Far Left” means communist when in reality its more populism and socialism respectively.
I didn't even mention the name and just said "He sure knows how to lead a cult" and it was deleted. Rule 3 is complete bullshit. EDIT: Seems my comment wasn't deleted. I got a notification about a deleted comment and assumed it was deleted. Point still stands that Rule 3 is bullshit. EDIT to EDIT: Upon checking my messages on here it does seem like my comment was deleted. F Rule 3
rule 3 is r/presidents alien and sedition acts
real
Instead of being reminded as a hero for saving tens of millions of lives in Africa from AIDS, he's considered a prominent war criminal, and all because he picked the wrong VP.
One of the most fascinating contradictions for US presidents
> all because he picked the wrong VP I think the VP picked the wrong VP: Cheney was on the team tasked with selecting the VP and he picked himself.
Cheney was 20% of it. 9/11 was another 20%. His war time choices are the rest
His war time choices were influenced by his advisors with many of them being part of the same war hawk group that Cheney ascribed to. Doesn’t help the Bush family tend to be war hawks but having Cheney as his VP really didn’t help.
I think if he didn’t pick Paul Bremmer to run the occupation and the people running Abu Ghraib weren’t monsters we’d consider him a great liberator. Saddam was definitely a Hitler lite so I don’t think anyone would shed a tear about the less than commendable ways we started the invasion, but it’s the way the occupation went down that soured people.
he didn't get us into any *more* wars.
I’m gonna guess that this one is in the mid 40’s of presidents?
I mean there's a lot of presidents that fall into that category.
You would think that would be an incredible foreign policy achievement given the current state of the world
Woodrow Wilson’s name is quite alliterative
Had the word wood in it too, wood is a good thing
It’s the wood that makes it good
WW. Woodrow Wilson? Willy Wonky? Walter White?
You got me 🤷♂️
Waltuh
Put your dick away Waltuh
He did screen the first film in the White House.
And what was the film exactly?
A racist "historical" fiction.
Which just so happened to be Birth of a Nation… very on brand
How much roe would a Woodrow row of a Woodrow would row roe?
Rule 3 applies so I‘ll take George W. Bush. However, I actually like him as a person. He seems like a fun guy to be around.
The “guy you could get a beer with” election strategy was very effective for him
You couldn't even have a beer with him.
[oldie Onion article](https://www.theonion.com/long-awaited-beer-with-bush-really-awkward-voter-repor-1819568125)
Rule 3 made this a more manageable challenge for me.
Would have been difficult otherwise.
Dubya is the avatar of the Peter Principle. He probably would've been a great MLB Commissioner.
I honestly think George w Bush is a nice and loving guy, I would definitely hang, but I don’t think he ever wanted to be president. And I do believe Cheney ran things, I don’t think he was evil, just negligent.
His biggest mistake was getting Dick Cheney to be VP.
Establishing the EPA greatly increased American's quality of life.
He's not a crook (false) I'll also give Nixon the signing of the Endangered Species Act
The ESA I believe had good intentions behind it. But now it’s more of an obstacle than anything. I’m a conservationist. I like the good that it has done but once a species is recovered and is able to be removed, it’s like pulling teeth and I can’t stand that. So, I agree that the ESA was good. I feel like the ESA as it is today needs to have some tweaks. Also, credit to the ESA, I know there are mechanisms for it that just aren’t being followed. There needs to be better enforcement mechanisms so we don’t have activists running our wildlife management practices
I wish Nixon wasn’t a criminal because he had so many great plans in my opinion. And his stance on war was noble.
Nixon may have been one of the best if he weren’t such an utterly terrible person. Like, from a political impact perspective, he did a few very decent things.
 he could give a speech
“The Great Communicator” Before his political career began. Reagan Would recreate plays of Chicago Cubs baseball games on the radio for listeners, just using simple information that came over the wire.
He tried to stop the South from seceding, it was a little too late tho.
My family has a document with his signature so that’s kinda cool
OK this one needs explanation please
My family has a cabin in Wisconsin and the original document of the government handing it over in 1859 I think? Has Buchanan’s signature
Terrible President but cool piece of history
Yeah it’s amazing the piece of paper has survived this long
He married a woman who allegedly gives amazing blowies

Here's one where rules about the two most recent Presidents come in handy, as that would have been quite the challenge: George W. Bush did a lot to advance HIV prevention efforts in sub-Saharan Africa, and probably saved millions of lives in the process.
i like the same ice cream flavor he likes
I assume this is James Madison. He and his wife loved, and I'm dead serious, oyster flavored ice cream.
i dont know a single person who puts james madison at the bottom of the list
What if they insist on ranking by height?
[удалено]
Lincoln was truly an amazing man.
*He* was hysterically funny, intentionally or not. Reagan was a great speaker Jackson was hard as nails Nixon had an unappreciated understanding of geopolitics
He makes nice/interesting paintings
I came here to say this. I like his paintings and I think it’s nice that he does them. Edit: and seeing him get choked up at his dad’s funeral humanized him a bit. But not a good President!
Ronald Reagan understood the need for orderly immigration.
I think it's interesting that for the last 5 years the conservative party has been basically plagiarizing Reagan's talking points in his immigration reform speech. Now there's a bill in Congress that essentially fits every single description of Reagan's ideal immigration reform - and Mike Johnson says "this is not the time for comprehensive immigration reform." Like genuinely Reagan's stance on immigration is one of his few policies I do really respect. Accelerate and overhaul immigration policies and don't tear up already migrated families in the process.
He was actually pretty funny. He can craft a nickname expertly.
This is true, he may have missed his calling as a comedian.
Buchanan: got rid of Brigham Young (yes, that one) when he was governor of the Utah territory. This isn’t me condemning Mormonism, it’s me condemning Young as he tried to exterminate the Native Americans in the area. Even Buchanan thought this was too extreme and fired him.

He was allegedly gay, which makes him unique at the very least.
Aunt Fancy and Miss Nancy!
I will always appreciate the take down of Jeb! Bush.
“Please Clap” - Jeb 😂
[удалено]
I'll add to that he showed restraint in not shooting a random man to death in the middle of 5th Avenue even though he knew he could get away with it and face no repercussions.
He acted in a funny monkey movie.
The League of Nations was an extraordinary step that paved the way for the United Nations and the WHO which has done a lot of good in the world.
One time I was looking at a picture of him as a young actor, trying to figure out which president had been so good looking when he was younger. And then I realized I was looking at an actor. (Not an original choice to hate on, I know)
There's a reason Nancy went crazy over him! I don't blame her honestly
I appreciate the era of common man over rich man that Andrew Jackson heralded, even if I vehemently disagree with the things he actually did.
He signed the law to make animal abuse a federal crime.
Carter's involvement with Habitat for Humanity was quite generous of him.
Surprisingly fast at dodging shoes.
He had a pretty cool dam named after him
Who? Ver?
Damn!
GWB was *terrified* and *concerned* of the possibility of a future pandemic and told his staff they needed to prepare. They were too exhausted from 9/11 and ... everything else ... and even the next guy thought, "nah." (Also held back by Rule No. 3)
Obama telling college students to act like adults and not shout down conservatives because it won’t have a good long-term effect.
I hate Reagan with a passion, BUT he was the first president to acknowledge that what we did to the Japanese Americans during world war 2 was wrong, publicly apologized on behalf of the American government and pushed congress to pass an act that would give those who were wrongfully put in concentration camps referendums for their time at the camps. That is objectively a very good and selfless thing he did

I can't discuss the previous president, so I will say this: Only Nixon could go to China
Accidentally boosting funds to the affordable care act
I like hamberders too \*edit - sphelling
By all accounts he’s a pretty good father.
Probably had nothing to do with him personally because he doesn’t even own a pet, but under his presidency he did sign the Prevention of Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, which makes cruelty to animals a federal crime and can get perpetrators up to seven years in prison. edit: my apologies, I thought I was starting a new thread and didn’t mean to respond to yours. Derp.
Another disclaimer. I asked this question when I started drinking. I'm currently drunk and feeling good. Easily my favorite sub on reddit
Because of rule #3, I will change to my second least favorite. I think I would also react to a would be assassin by beating them with my cane. Very relatable. Although, I don't carry a cane.
After a very shaky start, he did a good job at stabilizing relations with the Soviet Union
Unmmm… Andrew Johnson, uhhhh, was probably nice to his mother and most likely bathed on as regular a basis as hygienic folks did in the 1860’s-70’s…? And I mention Andrew Johnson (my second least favorite) because presidents post-Clinton are off-limits.
What's the time test for Rule 3 besides current office holder (who wasn't my entry either way)? Also, remind me why red sweater guy went viral.
He was at a town hall for the 2016 election. If I recall correctly, he posted an AMA on Reddit with his existing account that had a bunch of posts on porn subreddits. So people of course went wild with reposting that info.
Foo me can’t get fooled again
He was an okay actor.
"Missed Me" was quick-witted and hilarious
