Yes, Clinton was terrible.
Yep, IMHO.
Carter has them all beat!!
According to a cabal on FR, Bush is the worst President in history. They now call him names worthy of D.U. and some even make suggestions that could land them a visit from the Secret Service.
The worst President was Jimmy Carter. He did more to energize the Hate America crowd than any other previous President.
Richard Reeves is a of those guys who appeals to the elitists on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Hollywood, etc.
I always thought that Franklin Pierce was worse than Buchanan.
Hey! How about Jimmah Carter? He stunk the place out.
I have a feeling these 'historians' said similar thing to Reagan's presidency in mid 1980s.
One more thought ...
Lincoln is always named as a great President, yet it seems like some people must have disagreed at the time as they shot him.
which leads me to my new tagline
John Adams, for those damn anti-sedition laws.
Dateline Paris. Figures.
LBJ was even worse, disastrous policy in fighting the Vietnam, and the legacy of the "Great Society".
Slick, The Slacker President presiding of a Know-Nothing Do-Nothing Administration!!
Jimmy Carter in a landslide....no contest
And the press was all over Lincoln too. (Recent FR thread on it).
But he was a confused, indecisive president, who may have made the Civil War inevitable by trying to appease or negotiate with the South.
Clintoon:
But he was a confused, indecisive president, who may have made the War on Terror inevitable by trying to appease or negotiate with the Terrorists.
So the WHOLE EFFORT of the article is to smear a dead man by alleging he was a homosexual.
The fact we had Jimmy Carter who ceeded american LAND and nearly lost the cold war is beyond notice.
or
How bill clinton SOLD OUTRIGHT military secrets to the chinese military is not even notice.
I'd still put FDR first all things considered. Clinton would be second. Carter gets my nod for worst ex-president. That's certainly an honor the FDR couldn't even compete for. I think we still don't fully understand all the damage that clinton has done so he could conceivably move up but right now I still put FDR first.
