Woodrow Wilson was the worst. He gave us the drug war, WWI, the income tax, federal reserve, direct election of senators (consolidation of government), the espionage act of 1917, sinking of the Lusitania, the Zimmerman telegram, and the great influenza.

Direct election of senators is direct democracy.

The income tax was hardly his; might as well blame Lincoln as the brainchild at that rate.

Quite frankly most of that shit is correlation in place of causation.

Most of the presidents from Grant to Hoover were as bad or worse.

My top 3:
1. LBJ: was being investiagted by Congress for his corruption (ironically there was a hearing on 11.22.1963), got us into Viet Nam, brought us the era of huge budget deficits with his Guns n Butter mantra, started the massive welfare state with his Great Society and may have been complicit in the JFK assassinaiton. Highly corrupt before becoming President.
2. GW Bush: Elected as a conservative Republican yet ran masive annual budget deficits, signed into law the prescription care act which increased the deficit, was conned into going into Iraq by his neo-con advisors headed by Paul Wolfowitz, appointed a clueless idiot to the SEC who looked the other way while Wall Street was collateralizing all those bad mortgages. Basically a dim witted idiot easily manipulated by Chaney et al and who fucked up so bad it brought us Obama.
3. Obama: In time he may ascend to the #1 worst President. Easily the most divisive, naive elitist with zero business experience, currently destroying the greast health service in the world, increasing the welfare state, has increased the national debt over $7 trillion, has antagonized scores of foreign leaders, has continued dismantling the Constitution started by GWB, cannot accept responsibilty, blames others, classic Saul Olinsky disciple.

Not yet anyway. (His term is not yet over) He has not gotten us into any wars on his own.
He got Bin Laden killed.
He did not (all Right-wing conspiracy nuts notwithstanding) make the recession that he inherited any worse.

U.S. Grant was worse.

Hoover was worse.

Andrew Johnson was worse.

Nixon was much worse.

George W. takes the top spot. He pandered to the electorate by promising that they were paying too much in taxes because 'the budget surplus proves that you are paying more than needed. Don't use that money to pay down debt, give it back to the yourself.' He then started two wars that he refused to even ask for money to pay for. He supported the Medicare Part D that significantly increased the cost of health care without ever asking that any of it be payed for. He blurred the lines between church and state with his 'faith-based initiatives' and school voucher programs. He pushed for, got passed and then signed the worst abrogation of civil liberties since the Civil war with the Patriot Act (which people are only now figuring out the costs of in terms of governmental intrusion into our private lives). He supported all of the deregulation that helped create the fiscal crisis that happened on his watch, and which set into motion the worst recession since Hoover's depression, resulting in the greatest destruction of capital globally since WWII. The resulting loss of jobs led to less revenues for the treasury and that, combined with the costs of the two wars and unfunded Medicare Part D created the worst debt burden the country has ever seen, and then left it for his successor to fix.

Obama is not a good president by any stretch of the imagination, imo, but he is nowhere near the worst. At least not yet.

i think all the presidents after Polk up until TR were complete and utter shit. i don't think lincoln should be judged in the light that he is simply because no one knows how he would have handled reconstruction. imagine how prosperous the US would have been coming into the 21st century if we had a pres with enough balls to rebuild the South and establish equal rights for all.

the gilded age expanded to the north and west, even internationally, but leapfrogged the South because no one wanted to have anything to do with the utter shit hole that the Civil War created.


FDR, Truman and Eisenhower were our last three greats imo.

When you refer to America's pre-Obamacare healthcare system (or current I guess) as "the great healthcare system in the world!" what exactly makes it the greatest? The fact that we're the only modern country in the world where people have to declare bankruptcy because of medical bills?

Yeah, Bush 41 was the best Foreign Policy President we had in a long time...and he was reasonable in increasing taxes because it was the right thing to do...but his own party turned on him over taxes and failed to support him against Clinton. That, plus Greenspan really screwed him on the timing of the interest increases. The result of those increases was so problematic for the economy and the political fallout was so damning for Bush 41's presidency that Greenspan et.al. have been fearful of creating that effect ever since.

I love the way Bush 41 handled the fall of the Berlin wall. Gorbachev had to tiptoe such a fine line to keep the Communist hardliners from taking him out of power and ruining everything, and an ideologue like Reagan would have egged them on and perhaps forced a hot war to pull East Germany out from under the iron curtain. Bush41 knew when to shut the fuck up and to not push it as a USA vs USSR issue.

When it comes to war and fighting terrorism, he is worse than Bush. When it comes to civil liberties and the 4th amendment, he is worse than Bush. Obama gets a pass because he thinks it's cool for women to kill unborn babies and for gays and lesbians to be treated as brave heroes.

I assume you are talking about Bush 43, and yes, not only did that idiotic 'supply side' voodoo economics fail YET AGAIN (just as it did under Reagan), Bush 43 also promised that the war in Iraq would be paid for by Iraqi Oil. Another example of 'yeah, not so much'.

agree with this though I voted Yes above. He's definitely been the worst in my lifetime, though I hope he isn't the worst all time because that would mean bad things for everyone. I didn't know much about Buchanan tbh, other than mah nig Pat Buchanan. But sounds like Pres. Buchanan was not only the worst president but also into antebellum buttfucking.

As for Pres. Hussein, CIC and HNIC, you look at the lies over Obamacare, Benghazi (throwing a nigga in jail for a fkn video), Fast and the Furious, more spying than Bush etc....and it's worse than Nixon imho. Unfortunately for Nixon though he wasn't black and didn't have the media protecting him. Obama seems like more of an empty suit than even Bush imo.

Not just Kennedy either. Lincoln created a greenbackers currency with silver to fund the civil war and didn't plan on going back to a bank-controlled gold standard after the war was over. Granted that was before the fed was established, but a sovereign currency that the government doesn't need to borrow from a central bank was something Lincoln and Kennedy both believed in.

- campaigned and continued the tax cuts that largely favor the filthy rich, which got filthy richer under his watch

- more wars

- if he's not playing golf, he's campaigning. that's the prez?

Deregulation by republicans let banks go mad dog on investing and pretend they had funds to back loses. The banks pretended they were insurance companies for investments.

We see no discussion of deficits, the economy, unemployment, education, crime, the situations in our foreign wars, interventions, the trade economy or anything else. Instead its a popularity contest.

It's shit like this that has us with shitty presidents in the first place. You can shit all over GWB or Barry but I think it's time some people take their head out of their ass.

The most recent mistakes are the easiest to point out.

It's more like it's been pointed out to them recently.

There are certain policy outcomes that can be judged quickly but it takes time to get a full context in many measures. Foreign policy, economics, and education are a few of many good examples of this. Yet people want to rank people 5 years post admin or during a current administration.

Personally I am comfortable saying that I don't think we have enough information and context to just by. I would hope that meany realize that their partisan views are making their decision for them.

I do not paint this brush on everybody but its pretty obvious who I am talking about.

I think Barry's foreign policy is shit, and although dubya had a pent up anger for 9/11, he point blank went ahead and started not one, but two wars. If that's not "on steroids", then I don't know what that is.

At least with Bush, you knew what you were getting. Bush did whatever he wanted and didn't care about being liked or popular. Obama is a pussy and cares if people like him and wants to be popular. It's pathetic.

:lmao please. Bush is a narcissistic megalomaniac who still thinks the War in Iraq was a great idea and that "History will remember his presidency well". Dick Cheney didn't give a shit about his popularity, but Bush himself is a different story.

The logic that "Well Bush is better because he didn't care!" is also retarded on its own. "Yeah, he might be a sociopathic nut-case, but at least he doesn't try to pretend otherwise!"

Jacob is a tremendous person imho, with great courage and remarkable intelligence, and there's a reason why he can remain a virgin into his 30s while most people would've lost their virginities by their 20th birthdays.

OP must have a short memory. One doesn't need to look far to find a worse president than Obama, and thus answer the question. George W. Bush, his predecessor, was a far worse president than Barack Obama. Have people already forgotten the Iraq War? Katrina? The surplus turned into a deficit? The Great Recession? Bush inherited America at its peak, and he flushed it down the toilet. Obama has not been a great president, but to say he has been worse than Bush is laughable.

And the funny thing is, Bush may not even be the worst president...

“I want to make sure people understand actually.. drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties,”

“For the most part, they’ve been very precise, precision strikes against against al-Qaeda and their affiliates.”
