When it comes to worst president ever, he is in a category all his own.
It was just an observation. No need for insults.

20 years? The US is still in Japan.
It was stupid. I pointed that out. Nothing personal.
Have a nice night.

Look what House got in the bargain that was Wilson's soul: The bankers got access to the bottomless pocket of American in the form of a progressive income tax to pay for the "war to end all wars." Coupled with the control of the currency and passing legal tender laws so that nothing else could be used to pay debt other than Federal Reserve notes and the inflation caused by fragmentary reserve banking practices that turned money into debt and the basic plan to rule the world took form.
All that was required from then on was the reshaping of American society into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and the technology to allow full surveillance of everybody on the planet and that just took time. I figure that the bankers allowed about a century for their plan to come to full fruition.
That's why the moving powers are families instead of merely wealthy individuals. House of Morgan (Chase Bank) The Rockefeller family (Standard Oil -- Later Exxon); the Rothschild family in Europe, who also eventually took control of the Bank of England which was started in 1694 by a Scotsman and only nationalized in 1946 by Her Majesties government. Yeah, right. By then Rothschild had control and his family maintains it. His most famous quote: "If I control the currency of a nation, I care not who writes it's laws." It's all happening, right before our eyes.
This writer is wrong on so many fronts but he AT LEAST gets it right that Wilson was the worst BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS.
Wilson presided over the 16th, 17th and 18th Amendments to the US Constitution. Although as President he had no constitutional role in any process that amends the Constitution, he had large and capable influence over Congress.
The 16th, 17th and 18th are a stain on the US Constitution. The 18th was repealed but the 16th and 17th started out small and benign, virtually off the radar of future consequences to the Republic and to freedoms for which the Constitution was designed to protect.
And Wilson was well-informed as to the potential consequences of these three amendments. But he chose to promote them as in the interest of the nation. Had he fought against their proposals, he could have swayed enough US Senators to put off the votes or to abstain. But he chose instead to promote these matters.
Wilson was a very very stupid man who thought he smarter than everyone else.
Yea of course, he came from Princeton.they were moron mills back than, just like today.
Hell we even have personnel in Honduras for Christ sake.
We could have stabilized the entire region of Iraq with less than 15,000 for the rest of eternity, but Obama wanted to keep this and only this promise.
This is so silly it scarcely bears comment. Bush "unleashed" nothing. If you manage to ignore all the policy failures of the previous ten years and pretend that GWB woke up one morning and said "Let's go to war in Iraq" then you might have a case, if, in fact, you can also ignore the outcome of a precipitous drop in violence, a newly-elected government, the death of Zarqawi and the defeat of foreign Muslim insurgency, and an Iraq in better shape at the end of GWB's tenure in office then it had been since it was created after WWI. If you can't put on that blindfold and sing the media chorus, then you might understand what really happened. It was hardly perfection but it was hardly defeat.
That is already becoming clearer as the consensus of non-partisan historians. The media narrative that relegated GWB to infamy has already broken on the discovery that yes, there really were chemical weapons and they're still there, yes, Iraq was still beset with enemies who would take advantage of any weakness, and yes, a precipitate withdrawal was likely to prove disastrous. That the withdrawal followed Bush's own projected schedule is irrelevant: the individual responsible was named 0bama and it was his charge to adjust policy to the facts on the ground, not his own domestic political advantage.
I do not think that history is likely to be kind to Barack Hussein if it isn't written by America's enemies.
America’s enemies ARE the Obola White House.
And its national press corpse.
Bull. Sh*t.
Obama - hands down.
There isn’t even a close second.
Writer is a liberal buffoon.
Ah, Bush’s fault!
Little Miss Merry has full-blown BDS and desires to stay that way.
Unless the author knows Hari Seldon, I suggest he keeps his absolute statements about the future to himself. I can easily envision a future after a global war between the forces of freedom and the islamonazis where Bush's actions are seen as prescient.
Woodrow Wilson... immediately upon entering his second term, he sought to get his country into the war by manipulating neutrality policy. While proclaiming U.S. neutrality, he favored Britain by observing the British blockade of Germany... and by allowing armed British merchant ships entry to U.S. ports, which in turn fostered a flow of U.S. munitions to the Allied powers. At the same time, Wilson declared that Germany would be held to a "strict accountability" for any American loss of life or property from Germany's submarine attacks. This policy applied, said Wilson, even if affected Americans traveling or working on British or French ships. He declined to curtail what he considered Americans' "right" to travel on vessels tied to France or Britain (but not Germany). Wilson was warned, most notably by his secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan, that these lopsided policies inevitably would pull America into the war. When he ignored those warnings, Bryan resigned from the Wilson cabinet on a stand of principle. As Bryan predicted, America did get pulled into the conflict, and it certainly appears that that was Wilson's intention all along... Wilson conducted the war in ways that devastated the home front. Prices shot up into double digits, and then came a potent economic recession... He accepted the suppression of civil liberties by his notorious attorney general... nationalized many private industries, including the telegraph, telephone and railroad industries, along with the distribution of coal. Race riots erupted in numerous cities... broke the stalemate, allowing the Allied powers to impose upon Germany devastating armistice terms... The result was a humiliation of Germany that rendered another war nearly inevitable and created in that country a sump of civic resentment and venom that would poison its politics for a generation... most academics are progressives who like Wilson... But the two Roosevelts also were progressives and left the country better off when they left office. Such a case can't be made for Wilson, who left the country in shambles.
