I am surprised the rapist President Bill Clinton hasn’t got more votes.

The list is long: Wilson, FDR, Johnson, Carter, 0bama. Since 4 of the 5 are dead or out of office, I would have to go with 0bama. He is still causing damage.

CARTER! Since I am not a history buff, I can only address what I remember.

Obama isn’t done yet. Only then will he be in the running (but stick a fork in him!).

Clinton rode the tech boom gravy train in the 90’s. People give him credit for the balanced budget but he adhered somewhat to republican congress. He got the credit but they laid down the framework. The repubs RINO’s screwed the pooch in the last decade.

I would argue that FDR did more to damage America than any other President with Obama trying his best to out do FDR.

I agree. We would never have had an Obama without an FDR.

Please allow me to jump on one of my favorite hobby horses. There is not, nor has there ever been, a holiday known as “Presidents Day.” A draft of the Uniform Holidays Act would have changed George Washington’s Birthday to Presidents Day, but that was not in the final law. We shouldn’t cheapen Washington’s memory by disregarigin that the name of the holiday is set by law 5 U.S. Code Sec.6103(a), and should be referred to by its proper name.

Don't forget LBJ. I think that we were on track to recover a lot from FDR's damage, until LBJ pulled the chain on flushing our national assets down the drain of the "Great Society."

That one is a tough choice. It’s hard to get down to the worse of the worst on my stack-ranked list:

Buchanan
Lyndon Johnson
Obama
Andrew Johnson
Carter

I chose Buchanan because as bad as the others, Buchanan was the king of corruption that had pretty dire consequences. I think LBJ was probably worse than Obama, although pretty close. The other two were handed a really bad situation and made it worse. Obama is a bit different in my eyes because he knows or should know he is making the bad situation he was handed worse and does not care, so he’s about tied with LBJ.

The middle east is all falling to the Islamic extremist and obama is helping them.

Other presidents might have done worse to this country but none has done worse for the world.
