Which president do you think did a good or decent job but aren't generally thought of as doing a good job? When I was thinking about this today, these people came to mind. Zachary Taylor If he hadn't died, I think he would have prevented the Civil War. South Carolina said they would succeed but Taylor told them he would personally lead the army and hang them all, they backed off because they knew he wasn't lying. he was a Southerner who understood the Norther view point so he could really mediate this issue.He got congress working on a deal which would satisfy both sides, which would eventually become the compromise of 1850. Chester A Arthur. Yes he was one of the biggest pretty boy partiers that has ever graced the White House, but he did help modernize the US Navy, again. He helped get a lot of legislation passed by congressed, including the haulting of Chinese immigration, and ending the Presidential Spoils system.The Spoils system for those who don't know, was the system inplace which would allow an elected president to place his friends in high offices in the government. Arthurs predicessor, James Garfeild, was shot and killed because a man thought he was entitled to a government job. This lead to the civil service acts, which greatly revolutionized our government. Lydon B Johnson. LBJ got stuck with Vietnam, he gets most the blame for it but Eisenhower and Kennedy put the pieces in play which LBJ had to play with. but LBJ did do some good for this country, he passed the Civil Rights act of 1965, which really helped stamp out Racism and lead to greater equality. He also lead a war on Poverty which benefited the south to a great deal. Richard Nixon If it wasn't for the Watergate scandal I think he would be counted as one of our greatest presidents. He opened up China for trade, helped end Nuclear proliferation(I forget which treater they signed, Salt I?). He also began the pull out of Vietnam. another thing which a lot of people don't know about him, is he wanted to start a counter terrorism unit in the US after the incident in Munich, but Kissinger, and (cheany---not sure) told him not to. Nixon felt that within the next 30 years there would be a terrorist attack against the United States |

Richard Nixon was a good president, but he was pretty much as dumb as fuck. Um... I think James Carter was his name? The guy that worked very hard to pull us out of the depression, he failed but there wasn't much he could do. |

It was an important piece of legislation at the time because many thought the Chinese were bringing dieses into California. It also prevented a huge flood of immigrants to the US during the Opium wars. |

I don't know much about half of those presidents since my idependent research doesn't feel like covering it, my history teacher who probably was supposed to teach me it didn't teach anything, and I didn't get to Vietnam yet in history. So, they don't sound like they suck too bad. |

I think bill clinton was a good president, I never heard anyone complaining about what bills he passed or what he didn't, everyone thought he was one of the better presidents in recent years. Though, once he got a blow job from monica...it all turned sour and it suck that the most rememered thing about him is that bj. |

Ha, I didn't think of him. He may be a liar, but he didn't fuck the country up. |

Clinton was average. he did have one advantage over GWB and thats he was very good working with Congress. any president who can work with Congress usually ends up having a good presidency. |

Nixon had guys break into the Democratic national headquarters inside the Watergate hotel. but other than that, he did accomplish many positive things, such as opening trade with China, former the DEA, and ending one of the largest drug rings in the world. |
