I do not believe Wilson or Lincoln are ever mentioned on worst lists by any historian I've ever read...and, IMHO, Ford does not belong there. Ford, to me anyway, restored the dignity of the presidency and brought back our nation after the turbulence of Watergate.

Well, everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

I don't like Wilson because he started the income tax and got us involved with WW1, which, I believe, was a mistake.
The Europeans were quite good at killing each other without any help from us. They had done so for years. Wilson was a elitist Anglophile and was providing the British with assistance long before we actually got into war with the Germans. The Kaiser's record on human rights was no worse than the British - look at Ireland, India and Africa. As for the French - they were spoiling for a fight over Alscae-Lorraine - really GERMAN territory returned back to the Germans a few centuries after Louis XIV stole those territories. We should not have gotten involved.
Look at the gratitude we have today from our European "allies".

I don't like Lincoln, because I believe that in saving the Union, he destroyed the Republic.

I though Ford was a bumbling idiot and still is. Rumor had it Nixon selected him as insurance against his own removal from office. I remember Ford as a bit of a clown and an embarrassment who could scarcely deliver an intelligible address. Some of his recent comments on issues also leave me guessing about his intelligence if not his political viewpoint - but I couldn't give you specifics on that so don't ask me.
