Bill Clinton. But I am probably biased as I have read - and enjoyed - his biography.

I agree on the comment regarding perspectives. However, I am willing to argue that in 50 years time, if nothing dramatic happens during that time, GWB will be known as the worst US President of all time.

If I would have played 27o against my opponents aces all in, I would have hit 2 pair.

Awesome a poker analogy. This is what soldiers go to war to die for, our right to relate their deaths to poker.

No they go to war to prevent every bad event with non-zero probability from occurring, right?

My appealing to emotions was like a semi-bluff hoping that you would fold on the turn but I could also win the pot by making someone feel emotion.

President of a confederate that was created of states that no longer wanted to be or saw themselves as part of the US= US president?

I don´t mind, but do you think Jefferson Davis would like being called President of the US as he activly tried to distance himself and his states from the US, and was at war with them? Im just standing up for the guy, nothing else. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
