Um, no. Bush is the worst Republican since Hoover. Carter is still hands-down the worst in US history.
You meant to say Harding. Hoover was not that bad. He did not cause the Great Depression, because a president does NOT control the ecomomy. His measures against the depression were iladvised. He was a mining engineer and didn’t understand ecomomics. Events over took his abilities.
Harding Upon winning the election, Harding appointed many of his old allies to prominent political positions. Known as the “Ohio Gang” were into all forms of corruption and malfeasance. “My God, this is a hell of a job!” Harding said. “I have no trouble with my enemies, but my damn friends, my God-damned friends... they’re the ones that keep me walking the floor nights!” Hows that for irony?

I’d say Lyndon Johnson is breathing down Carter’s neck, at the least.
And FDR probably did more long term harm than any of them.
Bush is the worst Republican since Gerald Ford, not Hoover. I have always considered James Buchanan to be the worst US president, but Carter isn't far behind.
