Everyone liked Bush Sr before he was elected.
Same with Clinton.
Bush Jr
Obama.

Can't pick politicians based on what they SAY.
Please qualify this. I, for one, never liked Carter, Clinton, Bush--either of them,
or Obama.
The last president I thought had
any decency at all was Reagan, and, frankly, I wasn't real thrilled at the time. The candidates prior to Carter were before I was actually thinking about politics at all.
The last, and perhaps only, candidate I ever had any enthusiasm about was Buchanan...Pat, not James!
