Carter? Screwed the US over, US had basically no military, etc..., Teddy Roosevelt was a good President, so was Lincoln, Washington, Eisenhower and a few others. However, no President is perfect, after all, they are just human.

... 30 BILLION new dollars to combat AIDS in Africa?! It's insane.
... In 2005, President Bush, with PM Blair, pushed for debt forgiveness for the African nations suffering from conditions of poverty, and got it. THEN Bush gave them 15 BILLION in aide (with Congressional approval) to combat AIDS.
... The problem? How many billions are being dumped into Iraq? Quite a few, right? And Congress is screaming for a time-line. They want progress reports. "If it isn't getting done - get out! It's a waste of money!" ... that's what they're saying.
... A total of 45 BILLION into Africa . . . Any demands for progress reports? Any benchmarks or deadlines? How about, "Reduce AIDS cases by 40% by July next year" ... None.
... Like the 15 BILLION thrown away in 2005, this 30 billion is going to wind up in Swiss bank accounts for dictators who don't give a rat's ass about their people.
... but we can all feel good about ourselves, right? Helping fight AIDS and all that ... What a freakin' joke.
... I hear Ireland is a nice place to live. Rated best place to be an expat for US citizens in 2006. Any Irish here?

I wonder if Matt Damon could somehow be indirectly drawn into that as well so we could blame him.

Beyond a little nitpicking (what, no FDR?) the fact that the United States has never had anything approaching a perfect resident of the Oval Office fails to excuse the President for the grief that his administration has visited on the world. The indiscretions of past presidents is no excuse for the international boondoggle Bush has left us in.
