Reply #136: I'm sure there was a perfect president at one time or another.

[LanternWaste]

I'm sure there was a perfect president at one time or another. I'm confident that America had a Utopian society at one time or another. I'm happy we had an administration in which employment, GDP, GNP, civil rights, environmental laws, the nation's infrastructure and the arts all increased in an exponential amount relative to all other administrations.

Either that, or we pragmatically take the good with the bad-- accepting that every administration has limitations placed on it by the amount of opposition in the House and Senate, the amount of political capital it has, the current political climate, etc.

I take the latter view, but I'm sure that the candidate you support will lead us into the Promised Land of the first paragraph...
