Every president, Republican or Democrat has been better off after leaving the white house, except for Donald Trump. In the case of Democratic presidents, much, much better off.

That is absolutely shocking.

I wonder where their millions are coming from for it certainly isn't their salaries.

    Yeah, I'm sure Obama got his Beachfront estate in Hawaii, his house on Martha's Vinyard and his Washington D.C. and Chicago townhouses on the proceeds from his books that no one ever bought or read.

W Bush & his henchman Dick Cheney sold the USA's soul & fiscal health for their own personal greed & Big Oil.

W made the USA the wreck that it is today. Even Trump said so.

Lesson: never trust latent alcoholics with the Presidency.

I made a typo. I make thousands. I wrote 'is' instead of isn't...

forgive me?

That's what you get for typing on the phone.  No one cares anyway, we all know what you meant.  Deciphering poasts is almost half the fun of reading message boards. :)

Jo Jo darling, you sound like a broken record. Even this video shows Clinton and Obama profited more off their time in office than any other presidents.

We will see what the final tally is for Mr Biden after he is wheeled out of office.

Bill Clinton was the Vladimir Putin among American presidents.

Carter got undeserved wealth after screwing up the country.  He only did the Habitat for Humanity thing just to get people to like him.

While certainly flawed Clinton was one of the best post war Presidents the USA ever had.

Created surpluses balanced the budget & got bipartisan support from Republicans to do it.

Clinton was the most even keeled President of recent times because he managed to keep the extremes on Left & Right in check which were starting to rise in America.

As we see with Left and Right at each other's throats in America today that was no small feat.

Clinton was a centrist President who found the perfect balance

Damn, Joe!  Sounds like you have a man crush on old Bill Clinton. Does Thiel know?

Sweetie, how many times do we have to explain to you that Newt Gingrich and congress balanced the budget.

Congress controls spending, not the president.

And I thought his predecessor George HW Bush was not given enough credit for making Clinton s job easier Reggie Essent Reggie.

I remember Americans & especially Republicans snagged him for breaking his no new taxes pledge but it in end history proved him correct. He raised taxes for the greater good.

Trouble is nobody wants to swallow the necessary pain to bring a better tomorrow anymore.

HW grew up in the depression & volunteered for wwII. But that mentality doesn't exist anymore
