Worst 1. Obama 2. Woodrow Wilson 3. FDR 4. LBJ 3. Teddy Roosevelt Dishonerable Mention Andrew Jackson

You left off Carter as #2?????

[Lakeshark]

I’d put Clinton in position #5 before TR. Clinton was the president who brought liberalism from the brink and opened the spending spigots to full.

[frogjerk]

Where’s Lincoln?

[Lakeshark]

As bad as FDR was on planting the seeds of our current nightmare, he always was a great wartime president. I would put any number of people ahead of him on the worst list. Certainly, Wilson and Carter. Probably any number of others.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Clinton was the president who brought liberalism from the brink and opened the spending spigots to full.

He also took politicization of the judiciary and the Dept of Justice to new levels.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Jimmah Cahtah was the worst president of the United States.

Bill Clinton was the worst man to have become president.

[jwalsh07]

Worst is LBJ.

Best is George Washington.

After that things get debatable.

[frogjerk]

Lincoln can not be ahead of GW. GW set the standard for all others. The fact he stepped down after two terms is enough to give him #1.

[BuffaloJack]

Worst:
1) Barack Obama
2) Jimmy Carter
3) Franklin Roosevelt
4) Woodrow Wilson
5) Abraham Lincoln

Best:
1) George washington
2) Ronald Reagan
3) Thomas Jefferson
4) James Monroe
5) Andrew Jackson

[GeorgeTex]

Best: Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, T. Roosevelt, and Reagan.

Worst: Lincoln(paved the way for the wonderful fascist states of the 20th century. Marx used his policies as a blueprint), Wilson, FDR, Carter, Obama.

[Psalm 144]

I like your list, but on Worst would swap Lincoln for Teddy Roosevelt, demote LBJ to dishonorable mention, and put Carter in his place.

Agree on Best, including your footnote on the original Beltway insider, Alexander Hamilton.

[joe fonebone]

worst.... carter, fubo, kennedy, clintoon, bush 1...

[certrtwngnut]

Worst-
1 - Barach Obama
1 A - Barack Obama
1 B - Barach Obama
1 C - Barach Obama
1 D - Barach Obama
Dis-Honorable mention - Jimma Carta
Just about all of the others stack up well against these two, and some of the others were pretty bad.
Best
I will second your top five.

[BenLurkin]

Yes, Carter and not TR.
