I agree that Harding is by no means the worst president ever. We need to elevate him in history before it is too late, which will be in 2023. That's when his family will allow the release of his personal papers that will shed light on his womanizing in and out of the White House. That his family insisted on holding the papers for a hundred years suggests no exoneration.

Nixon's tapes are available online, but Harding, evidently, isn't dead enough.

What Obama and Carter did to this country is apparent. The fact they aren't co-owners of the Worst Ever award is a tale of leftist historians. But as Wilson's story suggests, white wash doesn't last forever.

Wilson was a globalist disaster and personally responsible for the rise of Nazis and Communists

Lyndon Johnson may not have been the worst President ever, but he was probably the worst person.

Wilson was absolutely hands down the worst president in US history.

No. As bad as Wilson was, he never equaled the hatefulness of Obama. There is no doubt that as flawed as Wilson was, he loved his country.

Obama hates America and would see it destroyed. Obama would see America turned into a dark hell hole if he had his way.

Wilson was a pointy headed liberal academic. The first of a long line that have tried to follow Marx and Engels formula for international homicide. They walk among us.

Why did Wilson get the U.Sinto the war? To bail out the bankers who financed the British side of the war effort.
Wilson then created an entire department in the U.S. government to churn out propaganda to feed to the press to sell the war.

“In its crusade to “make the world safe for democracy,” the Wilson administration took immediate steps at home to curtail one of the pillars of democracy – press freedom – by implementing a plan to control, manipulate and censor all news coverage, on a scale never seen in U.S. history.”

Revisionism. Zero is the only one who broke into the cockpit and deliberately pushed the stick down towards the side of a mountain. Wilson, FDR whoever never rose to obunghole’s level of treachery.

During Wilson Presidency (or should I say Col House’s and his handler Samuel Untemaier) the United States started:

The Federal Reserve
The CFR (called the Inquiry at the time)
and Taxes.

No. Clinton, Carter, and Obama displaced Wilson, Harding, and Grant as America's worst Presidents, but Obama earned the dishonor of being America's worst President--by far.

He is the only President who hated the USA and tried to destroy it.

My opinion is that Obama was the worst as well as the worst man. Carter next. LBJ may have done the most harm. Clinton was right up there with Obama as far as being corrupt as a man and as a politician.

My Father hated Eisenhower from the time he was a combat veteran of WWII until he died. I don’t think he was that bad but he did appoint Earl Warren.

I believe it was David Lloyd George who said of Wilson that he seemed to imagine himself to be the logical candidate for the first vacancy in the Trinity.

Wilson gave socialism a toe-hold in this country. Up till his administration the socialists and anarchists were annoying gnats.

I would still have to go with Andy Jackson.

It was under him that we began to change the rules on how we run the country because he got his itty-bitty feelings hurt by being rejected by the electoral college.

He committed a number of illegal acts, looted the government, and crashed the economy.

Nope.
Though clearly misguided and not Constitutionally founded as Woodrow Willson was, he did nowhere near the damage to the United States as constituted that King Barack Hussein Obama has done.
And he didn’t hate white America as Obama does.

Harding could never be the worst President, after all he selected Calvin Coolidge as his Vice President.

Yep. Consider that his biggest scandal, the Teapot Dome scandal, gave his administration a reputation for corruption, and it involved a cabinet Secretary shoveling natural resources deals to two of his buddies for the equivalent of about $7 million in today's money. Compare that to Uranium One and $145 million in today's money. Harding's boy was a choirboy compared to Hillary Clinton.

For my money it's between Wilson and 0bama, and the latter wins hands down. For true widespread, approved corruption it's hard to beat Holder, Jarrett, Lynch, Comey, Jones, the Mooch, and Barack Hussein himself, who is now sitting a multimillion dollar fortune that magically appeared during his tenure as Chief Executive.

Is he worse than Clinton? Yes, although it's a close call, but yes - his deliberate fanning of racial grievances caused long-lasting damage to a country that he openly held in contempt. His Middle East foreign policy was destabilizing, murderous, and disastrous. His energy policies stifled the economy and enriched his friends at taxpayer expense. He was personally cold, grasping, hypocritical, duplicitous, and worthless as a President and as a human being. And those were his good points.
