Teddy Roosevelt was the last President who was badass enough not to give a shit what others thought and didn't wear the puppet strings.

I agree 100%!
This country desperately needs a man like him right now.

Nah, he was too snuggly. Why else would there be an entire type of stuffed animal *named after him?

To me "W" was more of a clown or a clone. As to being puppet like I've always felt that by the time they have reached that level they all come with a lot of strings -some may be better at concealing them then others. As to the ones that I think may have been controled by others in no order I would go with Carter, Truman and Nixon. Note - I did not say I like them or thought they were good presidents; just that for different reasons they were less likely to used by others. +5

Personally Nixon was scandalous and only became the 35th president because RFK was killed and Nixon was profiting off the Vietnam War the whole time. But i am glad you see that most of these presidents were like marionette puppets being controlled by the hands that hold there strings but you forgot to mention JFK,Abraham Lincoln as well. +5
Avatar dumdum Oct, 06 2009 at 10:43 AM
You asked for one as in "the last....", I gave you three. With a correction {?} at to why Nixon became President which was not part of your question you than told me which other ones I should have listed. If the point of a question is to tell us what you know - what don't you just do that up front?

First of all, let's not downrate people just for having opinions ok?

My opinion is Clinton was a "REAL" president in terms of being a good one. But he was also puppeteered by Hillary.

So I would have to go with Bush sr.

I didn't "downrate" anyone but those who about alot of these presidents is that they were controlled by congress like my opinion would be JFK.
Avatar Hrududu Oct, 08 2009 at 12:39 PM
I didn't say you did downrate anyone!! I'm sorry if I offended, it wasn't my intention. I just noticed a few downvotes. Anyone could have done it, I wasn't accusing you. I'm sorry if it came across that way.

Its cool its just the way you stated your comment but i didn't get offended.

In any form of Governemnt that uses elections, ALL that are elected are basicly a Puppet of whomever elected them, they are supposed to bound and limited by a simple set of Consttutional limitations based on a set of principles, of course when ANY group that simply "IMPORTS" or extends votes to what is nothing less than criminals to control the puppet in ways and manners seperate and different than the limiting principles compromising the legitimate citenzery that Governemnet is void, however the finacial obligations are still there irrelevent of the criminal shell game that is played and the redirection and economic redistributions in an effort to hide the theft of property and wealth of the legitimate owners of said ..

and in answer to your question in fact there has never really been one that is not a puppet and that in and of itself has been the problem when the puppets negegate the intended limiting factors through, fraud, theft, murder, extortion, desceptions and invasions ..

basiclly it's a case of them pissing on your head and trying to convince you that it is raining and IF you fool enough to open your mouth while they are doing it they try to drown you instead ..
