All former presidents met with Obama today, whose advice should be relied on most?
Current president Bush, former Presidents Carter, Bush Sr., and Clinton all met with Obama today at the White House.
Which, out of these four former presidents, were the "best"? Which do you think most emulates the incoming president's situation today?

Whose advice should be relied on most? Carter and Bush Sr. They are farthest removed from politics and ego, andthey have been able to spend the most time reflecting on what they did right and wrong, and what they would do with a second chance.
You know, none of these guys was a good president, and the two worst presidents in any currently breathing person's lifetime are on the list. My ranking is Bush Sr. > Clinton > Carter > Bush Jr. Carter beats Bush Jr. by a nose in the race to stay out of first place in the "worst president in the last 100 years" race. Both were incompetent as hell, but think about it this way. Both inherited a grand mansion. Carter let his go to the dogs by completely neglecting it, while Bush went after his with a sledge hammer trying to "fix it" and turned it into a pile of rubble.

I'm sure they all had unique perspectives on a variety of issues. No two presidencies are the same and no two presidents face the same challenges. It seems like going in Obama is having to deal with everything the last 3 presidents have faced put together.

President Clinton and Carter are both honest smart men, even Bush Sr is not dumb as a brick.

Barry Hussein Obama jogs my memory lots of the 1st "black" President of united statesa., "Slick Willy"! John McCain jogs my memory of Bush #forty-one, George Herbert Walker Bush. Mr. Obama, like Mr. Clinton, for sure hates united statesa., despises the militia, is dissatisfied that we are the the only superpower interior the international, never served interior the militia, takes own credit for accomplishments of others, keeps changing his place in accordance to the polls, tailors his speeches in accordance to the gang in front of whom he's talking, pals with radical, anti-American Socialists, and believes in Socialism, etc. Mr. McCain, like Mr. George H. W. Bush, served honorably interior the militia, helps our troops and needs freedom-loving countries to win in Iraq and Afganistan, is a real American patriot who loves united statesa., is proud to be an American, the wonderful and maximum democratic u . s . the international has ever huge-unfold, is proud that we are the international's merely superpower, speaks his recommendations, whether his perspectives are no longer time-honored, does not exchange his place on subjects, whether it costs him votes, etc.
