Just to clarify things, it’s George Washington’s birthday, it’s not President’s day. Geez.
Currently, as Republicans continue to investigate, we can be all but certain their efforts will be to no avail. The reason is not because there is lack of evidence, facts or even documents. It is because there will be no witnesses or whistleblowers who will turn against the Obama administration. Unless some brave soul turns against the Chicagoland culture of silence and intimidation, the attorney general will never be forced to bring charges against those at the IRS, and possibly even the White House who directly broke the law by putting the full weight of IRS auditors and bureaucrats on conservative and tea party groups.
Had Lincoln not defeated the Southern Rebellion it is very possible that the USA would not have survived.

...who was legally elected TWICE!!
I can understand the FIRST election. Who knew he'd be such a jackass? But RE-ELECTION? SHAME on the Democrats and MORE shame on any Republican who voted for him.
An illegal, illegitimate candidate cannot be legally elected.
And as much as I despise conspiracy theories.... well, don't get me started on the REelection.
Whatever it was, the car’s owner(s) probably didn’t care too much what anybody else thought about it...which reminds me of Obama and his style of governance.
Tea pot dome scandal aside, Harding was a fantastic President compared to most of his successors and should not pointed to as a failure like that worthless swine Buchanan.
I’ve said I’ve always felt bad for Buchanan. He was in an untenable position, with nearly half of his party supporters ready to bolt with secession. He did crack the whip once he no longer had to placate them in the very last part of his term. Had his opponent, Frémont, won in 1856, the war would’ve occurred 4 years earlier and there’s no telling how he would’ve handled it.
I have no sympathy for that turd burglar. That nutcase Andrew Jackson would have whooped them rebs before they got started.
One could easily peg Buchanan as the worst President of the 19th Century. To whom would you give that dishonor?
Well, Jackson was dead by then, so that wasn’t an issue. I don’t know if I can come up with a definitive “worst” of the 19th century. Pierce was equally a pitiable figure, and between dealing with the horrible loss of his son and his wife’s jet-black depression over it (and that he was plastered for much of his term), I tend to cut him some slack.
Jackson himself might be up for worst, because he was too temperamentally unsuited to serve (and his wife died right after the election from the stress of the campaign). His actions also helped in de-unifying the South politically (in the post-Era of Good Feelings) and that of the Democrat Party after the collapse of the Federalists. Andrew Johnson also didn’t handle things well, either (but the impeachment proceedings represented an overreach). Grant’s administration was corrupt, and I’m not sure his serving as President was a good idea (Ohio’s John Sherman was probably a better bet, and he had the experience and problem-solving abilities, but he lost at the conventions).
“...Should President Obama really be given the same celebration as President Washington or President Lincoln?..”
Umm...wait, let me guess...
Clearly, No.
