On the other hand, Jimmah Islamyah Carter gave away the Panama Canal (ultimately to the ChiComs) and undermines our fighting forces moral everytime he opens his stupic mouth. Oh, and as another Freeper points out, his daughter is butt-ugly.
(1) James Buchanan
(2) Andrew Johnson
Mick's new lyrics completely apply to him.
President Bush lives his faith in a most genuine way. May the Lord bless him and keep him.
This is my first try at a post reply - hope it works. Clinton was the worst and Carter a close second. But, LBJ is a close third.
Personally, I think that Karter is more to blame for the rise in Islamo-fascism than does Klinton.
I'm selecting a future President, one who will do unimaginable harm to our nation, Hillary Clinton!
I'd say Carter because he originated the paper tiger image of the US with his inept, cowardly handling of the Iranian hostage situation. He also helped put the current Iranian fascists in place.
[Carter's legacy also includes: double digit inflation, alternating gas days, sky high real estate market, etc.]
Clinton follows Carter's illustrious legacy of cowardice in the face of terrorism with the addition of selling out the country to the Chinese.
Otherwise it's a tossup.
Woodrow Wilson. You can thank him for the federal income tax, and, indirectly, for the U.N.
I'd have to say FDR or Lyndon Johnson. Both are borderline socialitst bustards.
Carter. The only president ever attacked by a giant swimming rabbit while fishing. Unfortunately the rabbit withdrew his attack.
Carter: 20+ misery index, decimated military, failed foreign policy.
Pierce: Did nothing at all including nothing about upcoming civil war.
John F'n Kennedy.
Let's not forget JFK whose weakness at the Bay of Pigs inspired the Soviets to almost wipe out civilization. People who give Kennedy credit for not blinking at the Cuban Missile Crisis seem not to realize that when he failed to provide the promised air support when the Bay of Pigs invasion got a bit rocky, he signalled the Russians that he was weak. We almost all died as a result.
1. LBJ
Now if this was taked on Liberty Post, the final results will be:
1. George W. Bush
The canal never meant anything, in the case of a war, a ship sunk in that canal renders the whole thing useless.
Nothing but nothing takes the title from Clinton as the worst President ever.
#1 He gave China rocket technology and missile guidance technology so they can now nuke any city in the USA.
#2 He had Bin Laden after Laden declared war on the USA, yet let him go saying he had no cause to keep him.
#3 9-11 itself. Seems he had things in place which prevented the FBI from getting information about the whereabouts and activities of terrorists operating in the USA, including some of those that gave us 9-11.
He is the KING of worst Presidents. Who could ever hope to come close?
Someone needs to count em up, but it looks like the majority is for Carter.
The Top Five
1. Abe Lincoln (I'm sorry, but I can never forgive the man)
2. Lyndon Johnson- it was his administration that set us up for the economic cesspit that was the late 70s
3. U.S Grant- his mishandling of Reconstruction had negative consequences that reverberate even today
4. Jimmy Carter- More important than anything he did or didn't do with the energy crisis, he showed a lack of critical thought when he allowed the Shah to go to New York for his cancer treatment, and that led directly to the hostages being taken, and the reverberations from that eventually led to where we are today, in the WOT, he also showed an equally critical lack of thought by not advising the Shah to crackdown on the revolt.
5. Andrew Jackson- The National Bank proved to be a disaster for the country, the failure of which amounted to a minor depression that helped derail the Van Buren presidency, and well, Andrew Jackson took the side of Washington in the South Carolina nullification crisis, prefering a powerful central government in opposition to leaving the power at the state level, where it belonged.
Dishonorable Mention:
Bill Clinton- desecration of the Oval Office
Richard Nixon- I'm sorry, but I can never forgive him for opening up to Red China, while starting the process of gradual distance from Taiwan, decisions which have negatively affected American's place in the world.
No contest, Grant.
im going with FDR. the founder of the modern welfare state. its been downhill since then. The worst ones, IMHO, are from the 20th century. Carter, Clinton, Johnson, and FDR as a i mentioned
