As in bare basic good? George Bush Senior wasn't perfect, but he was in my opinion he was the last President to preside over a congress with any air of accountability. Again, not saying he is sinless but if the U.S. would have continued on in a stagnant state exactly as it was under him before Clinton came along, I wouldn't be to upset.

George Bush Senior was a man who looked at the fall of the soviet union and decided that we needed to make globilization stable in the long term. That meant a conversation with the american people on what that would mean (the thousand points of light speech)

Thing is I don't think he would have been able to steer that conversation into something workable, the slow steady degredation that led to the populist revolts were having now were already sown, and no body in the old world was remotely willing to make the kind of consessions that would have stabalized the system as it was.

So its all falling apart and I find it hard to care because the people who wanted to perserve this system are such utter twats.

Too be fair we have the benefit of hindsight Bush didn't and furthermore globalization was inevitable and not entirely his fault as it was an inevitable result of an unhindered United States thinking arrogantly that it could expand its influence as it pleased unchecked with no consequences and the world would bow to its economic might rather than integrate itself before subverting it from within.

Was Bush perfect? Heck No! But I still feel like his administration was the last to truly have normalcy and not be completely swept up in complete globalization, superficial social justice and futurism fever.

I can blame Clinton and Bush Jr more because as soon as cracks started to form after Senior left, they were ignored, and policy continued pushing globalization or expanding federal power regardless of possible ill effects.

I had been thinking about it, and the last period where I feel Croatia has had a genuinely good government (from top to bottom) was the rule of Matthias Corvinus, from 1458. to 1490. There were some good people later (Josip Jelačić, Drašković etc.), but government as a whole always had issues which I think prevent it from warranting the label of "good" (they were either incompetent, morally questionable, or both). After 1918., none of the governments were competent. And every single government we have had since 1941. was flat-out evil.

So what about your country's governments?
In 1926.But Piłsudzki made putch and since then we are screwed.

Not that I like or respect that guy, but misspeling his family name casts you in bad light.
Then my work is done.I always wanted to be cartoon villain.
Jokes aside - i simply forget.
