Which United States President do you think had the best Domestic Policy since World War Two?

OOC: Poll Coming.
 
Adlai Stevenson, for sure. He passed Medicare into law, after all. Next to Roosevelt, he's been our best President in the past half of a century.

(OOC: I have a feeling this thread will become victim to Norton's Law #35.)
 
Haha before the poll was put up I was thinking of just saying "RFK" cause I knew he'd be on it :p
 
Ah yes- the only Dem I voted for in my entire voting history. Even though I work as a senior political consultant to the RNC, I got my start in the National Service Admin back in 1979- still remember the day he dropped by, and yes I still have the memo he signed for me. :cool:

OOC: Don't freak- I'm far too young (and too Canadian) for that. If I did, you'd have known long ago...

OOC: Just kidding in regards to Nixon. IC: If we rate it by how the First Ladies were treated, then RFK is still in first place. Who remembers the splendid bicentennial state dinners of 1976- no wonder he received that November landslide.

OOC: Ofcourse, RFK is god. I could put him in a poll where he resigned after being accused of killing his Press Secretary, and he'd still be the 'best president evar11".

IC: Dude! How could you like him? He resigned after being accused of killing his Press Secretary! :eek: I have no idea how his VP got re-elected that same year!
 
IC: Ah yes, the Boston Strangler. Apparently the PS was put in a headlock and choked on a peanut. The medics did save him though. A surprise 50th B-day gone horribly wrong...

OOC: I thought of Hash, and RFK was known for fairly bloody fistfights in his 20s IOTL. One involving cleats impacting some kid's face, the close call with Cohn, and a few others. Ferdinand Marcos assassinated one of his father's rivals as a young man, then got acquitted by the SC after refusing a pardon. A harbinger of things to come...

IIRC, this scenario appeared with an assassin machine-gunning the Oval Office a while back, everyone was killed. Again, 22/11/75.
