<Snipped from my overall list>

These Presidents are those I hold in the failure range, as opposed to the adequate/good or mediocre range. #42 <Lincoln> being absolutely worst. Notice that Obama is NOT on the list for lack of time in office. Preliminarily, I would slip him in around 33, behind Carter/Nixon but ahead of Truman/Bush/McKinley. However, my expectation is that he will continue to drop in the ratings.

31. U.S. Grant
32T. Jimmy Carter
32T. Richard Nixon
34T. Harry Truman
34T. George W. Bush
34T. William McKinley
37. Lyndon Baines Johnson
38. Herbert Hoover
39. Theodore Roosevelt
40. Woodrow Wilson
41. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
42. Abraham Lincoln

No, just prefer lawful government under the actual Constitution of the United States to unlawful and Arbitrary government under progressives who despise as a matter of course their oaths of office.

Me, I'd prefer no government at all, because government is, by nature, one huge NO YOU CANNOT restrictive set of chains to enslave and destroy the human imagination and creativity.

Reality: men are greedy, aggressive, destructive, lazy, incompetent and very destructive creatures when they want to be -- so somebody has to stand ready to send insane power mad freaks into outer space so the innocent and honest CAN be free to live up to their own maximum potentiality.

And that is the ONLY role of a dumb ass government: to protect the innocent and the honest, so they can maximize their own potential all by themselves without interference and destructive enslavement by Power Mad Freaks.

The government that tries to control the economy destroys individual human productivity and therein destroys the economy.

The government that tries to control education destroys individual human curiosity and creativity and therein destroys human creativity and originality.

The government that tries to control social patterns of interaction among its citizens destroys honesty and integrity and natural human compassion for one another as one individual person to another individual person -- and therein destroys social equality by destroying any hope of person friendship and personal alliance with each other for the good of all.

Worst yet: Obama
Second worst: Carter
Third worst: Clinton
Fourth worst: Bush II
Fifth worst: Bush I

Last half-assed semi-bearable non-destructive government: Eisenhower

The past 50 years has been one very long progression toward Destruction of Individual Creativity through ever-increasing government destruction of PERSONAL responsibility for SELF development, with gubmit creating endless road blocks and obstructions to ensure that nobody thrives and nobody actually CAN give a **** what happens to the folks next door.

You see the horror happening to the people you know in your own neighborhood -- and you WANT to stop it -- but you can't -- because the gubmit makes damned sure you haven't got the means you need to stop it.

Somehow it is hard to see how Lincoln could be credited for supporting a weak federal government considering his weak federal government forced it's will on half the nation. I don't think the conservative Republican party of Reagan believes in a federal government who forces the states into submission to the will of "Big Brother".

Carter (The national hemorrhoid nearly wrecked this nation in 4 years, helped father islamic terror)
Buchanan (Pretty much caused Bleeding Kansas and the Civil War)
Wilson (Started us down the road to global fascism)
FDR (The New Deal is damning unto itself)
LBJ (The Great Society is even more damning)

Actually I did well in American History class when we were required to take it in what, 7th grade and maybe a little in 10th grade where you don't actually learn aobut the details of every presidents administration. To get a full understanding of what made them good or bad I feel you'd have to do a lot more than just get an A in history class in high school.

Right, because instead of spending hours on math, reading, sciences and basic history of america and the world, we should devote 8 hours a day to learning all the inner workings of every administration in the history of the US. Because that's what it would take to be able to grasp a great knowledge of all the presidents in our history, and to do that is just idiotic.

Could he be on the list in 4 years??.. sure.. is he now heck no.

Your logic is severly flawed. He very well can be the worst in only 8 months. In fact he is. The only thing yet to be discovered in the rest of his term is exactly how extremely bad he will be.

Surely, the White House's prime moral reprobate/degenerate deserves recognition.

I wouldn't include him...true he didn't get much accomplished..but, unlike those on my list he didn't do a lot of damage.

Right, because instead of spending hours on math, reading, sciences and basic history of america and the world, we should devote 8 hours a day to learning all the inner workings of every administration in the history of the US. Because that's what it would take to be able to grasp a great knowledge of all the presidents in our history, and to do that is just idiotic.

You think it is idiotic, huh? Those who don't know about the mistakes of history tend to repeat them. I think it is idiotic not to learn as much as possible about history. How else can we pass it on to the next generation. If public schools had been teaching what they should have, we might not be in this mess now with a president who admires evil dictators more than American heroes, prefers communism over capitalism and likes to call America a Muslim nation rather than a Christian nation.

Disdain for a man responsible for the deaths of more than half a million young men and women isn't that much of a stretch.

And not just any young men and women...but the only American war in history where every single soldier or civilian who died was a citizen of his own country. And every life could have been spared if he had only not forced the federal government's will onto the states which was actually the people themselves.

1. Franklin D. Roosevelt

2. Ulysses S. Grant

3. George W. Bush (2)

4. Lyndon B. Johnson

5. George W. Bush (1)

---

Honorable Mentions:

Reagan

Carter

Lincoln

Clinton

Johnson (Andrew)

Admittedly... I don't know a lot about presidents 100+ years ago, just from what I remember/learned myself. Obama not yet, giving him his 4 years... But he's already on his way up the top 5 list.

Obama has done more damage to America in a few months than any other president has ever done in 4 or 8 years.

In no particular order: FDR, LBJ, Wilson, Lincoln, Hoover.

Note: just because some were not placed in that group is no praise to them - they only escaped by the skin of their teeth. Some might even make it in...

I have a prediction to make: That who ever is the current Democratic President will automatically be the worst President ever.

I disagree, because as sorry as Clinton was, he was not a worse president than Carter, but then Obama was able to accomplish that which Clinton wasn't.

Oh sure. Republican propaganda is the best propaganda out there.

Dreaming of one party rule? Nice, how freedomish of you.

But don't you feel there's a truthiness that comes from those that are freedomish?

I heartily disagree. If you'll look, I think most of the lists include at least one Republican president. Mine included (Ford).

BTW, I didn't put Clinton down because I don't think he was such a bad president. Now, my opinion of him as a human being is very different, but that wasn't the question.

Right after they claim that Republicans freed the slaves....:rolleyes:

The Republicans freed the slaves.

Sorry if the truth hurts.

Sorry if the truth hurts.

Whereas every damned one of the subsequent Jim Crow laws to keep Blacks "in their place" was written by and supported by Democrats.

In point of fact, the Democrat Party was formed in the first place as a pro-slavery political movement.

And it wasn't until recently that David Duke, king of racist jerks, abandoned the Party of Destruction in order to slander the GOP with his name on their list of members.

And wasn't it Clinton who SOLD that hate-kill bastard a pardon so he could again pollute US soil?
