An increasing number of Americans -- and not just conservatives -- are expressing the opinion that Barack Obama's presidency is as calamitous for the United States as was that of Jimmy Carter.

One major factor with Obama was the fact that he never had any executive or management experience, in any previous job, before becoming president.

Obama doesn’t know how to be a leader, how to be a manager, how to delgate authority, how to run an office, or the thousand other lesser skills which seasoned executives and managers have.

It’s shocking in retrospect that the very first management experience for Obama is in his current job as president. Heck at least Jimmy Carter had been a one term state governor and had some experience there.

In the posters defense Ford wasn't elected. He was appointed after Nixon resigned. Not really analogous.

I’d throw in Nixon and Ford and a couple of NWO Bush’s and a NWO Clinton in to the bunch of sorry Presidents.

Oh, as in the successful former governor of Maryland, Spiro T. Agnew, actually a form governor does not mean that much. Other than they put their drawers on just like you.

He’s got to be in the 5 worst. Cripes the Great society is still destroying us. The Vietnam War was chickenfeed in comparison.

Let the record show it was, I believe, a dem congress the last two years of Bush’s second term.

True, he sure was hell on wheels, cutting spending and balancing the budget and vetoing bills those first six years, wasn't he. You could just about say he was a riding and a shooting and a ringing those bells.

I was correcting what I believed to be a factual error in the post I responded to; glad to allow you an opportunity for a Bush rant, though.

I clarified that 50% of republicans are worthless. You are arguing without bothering to read my very short post.

As to Agnew he was a personal friend of my father and, in fact, did nothing to warrant the abuse he suffered. Sarah was accused of the same crime, wearing clothing she did not pay for.
