I have a serious question because I haven't paid enough attention to timing of what presidents have done - looking at the last 3 presidents that had 2 terms (W. Bush, Clinton, Reagan), did they accomplish more good in their 2nd term than in their 1st because of not having to give a shit about re-election?

I'm genuinely curious about this. Granted Bush started 2 wars in his first term so it's hard for his 2nd term to be any worse, but then all the bailout shit started happening. Clinton I'm not sure but the bubble burst happened under his 2nd term. Reagan was while I was a kid so I simply don't know what he accomplished in his 2nd term vs. his first except his "tear down this wall" speech.
