Howard Dean (Born November 17, 1948) was the 43rd President of the United States from 2005-2013.

President of the United States

As President of the United States, Dean is well known for withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, implementing a public option healthcare system, investing in clean and renewable energy, making civil unions legal for same sex couples nationwide, repealing the patriot and no child left behind acts, and increasing pay for nurses, doctors, and surgeons.

Some of his failures include getting dark money out of politics, making community colleges tuition free, addressing climate change in serious events, getting who he wanted in his administration, reducing the national debt, and increasing pay for teachers.

He is known to be a borderline good president who was a strong leader but became weak near the end of his second term, picked out some of the wrong people for his administration, drastically increasing the national debt by out of control spending during his second term, and focusing on the American people rather than himself or corporations.
