Eliminating the obvious choice who in your opinion was the worst president of the last 60 years?
I think Ill take Jimmy Carter on that one with Dick Nixon being a close second. |
|
LBJ gave us his wondrous "Great Society", so I think his damage is more long-lasting than Carter's.
|
|
Peanut Jimmy and his happy go lucky sidekick Walter were absolutely horrendous.
Willy Jeff takes second place Nixon at third for the trifecta |
|
Clinton with the media knob gobbling amidst failing policy on damn near everything.
|
|
Domestically, LBJ.
Internationally Carter. Then again, I honestly think in 10-20 years, George W. Bush will be remembered as a pretty good President. People just aren't over being so angry as to see how unreasonable said anger is yet. |

I think Iraq was the only bad decision he made. Now I think his vp choice is another matter. There is a reason his first name was Dick. |

1st Carter
2nd LBJ 3rd FDR 4th BHO (<–– That guy cannot even fuck things up correctly) |
|
They all suck.
If I really had to pick one it'd be a a tie between Reagan and LBJ. |

Carter:
Was such a push over on middle eastern policy that you can probably blame him for most of the fucked up mess even today. Then there's federal prison policy changes that turned out the crime wave of the mid to late 80's. Then there's the huge inflation surge that devalued the dollar by 40%. Then there's the SCotUS appointees that totally hosed about ten critical legal issues. Then there's import policy changes that killed half of our manufacturing... and the EPA PO "gifts" that keep on giving. I kinda recall Ford as being a benign but incompetent twit. Even as a little kid, Carter's shit was easy to spot... He probably hates the U.S. worse than Obama. ETA: Left out Carter's farm policy, banking policy, defense policy that gutted our military during the worst of the cold war, huge increases in federal welfare money... every damn thing Carter touched turned to shit. |

JFK. Spoiled, useless, gangster brat who thought the world was his oyster because he was cute and his daddy was a successful bootlegger. Say hi to Adolph Hitler in hell, Johnny, he's on the bar stool next your daddy. Consider it payback for LBJ.

The one that presided over the start of the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Bush jr. for one reason:
He had Republican power in all three branches of government and still did not push a Conservative agenda. Thats what happens when you elect a rino( I voted for him twice) |

Quoted:
Dick Cheney I...how do you even function? He wasn't a President. EVER. I was born in 1986 so worst I've seen in my lifetime barring Obama has to be Clinton. |

The older I get, the worse Reagan looks. Could be LBJ, though.

LBJ, no doubt. Carter was more embarrassing, but LBJ did more damage.

I think one has to define the criteria on what one judges to be "the worst".
Economy Foreign Relations Personal Behavior Leadership under fire Effective Agenda What else? |

Lard Butt Johnson, now the second biggest piece of shit to sit in the White House. Some friends wanted to go to the Lard Butt ranch when they were visiting, it took every inch of my self control not to go piss on the cocksucker's grave.

Quoted: Carter then LBJ Toss up. LBJ took socialist bullshit from FDR and put it in overdrive, leading to the huge entitlement society we're now about to collapse with. Carter made us a laughing stock around the world with his foreign policies and was completely inept when it came to economics, a clueless, impotent dolt in a sweater while it crashed down around our ears. |

Check on the Gun Grabbing, I suppose. http://zfacts.com/metaPage/lib/National-Debt-GDP.gif If big government spending = big government then check there, too. The graph speaks for itself. Voodoo economics indeed. He signed the '86 amnesty, too. He had a Republican senate for half his presidency, so you can't blame the Democrats. The modern Republican party likes to spend borrowed money. It doesn't object to big government, just to the taxes necessary to pay for it sustainably. |

Big government spending does not equal big government. What speaks for itself is your lack of historical perspective. I'd be willing to bet you weren't of voting age when Reagan was president. |

They all look good next to BHO. Seriously, there's no contest.
I'd have to say FDR - particularly for his unsuccessful attempt to pack the SCOTUS. If he didn't have a war to win he would have run this country into the ground. |
