Who was the worst U.S. president?

[1943Izzy]

Ronny Reagan , Iran- Contra , failed trickle down economics.

With Lincoln, Wilson and FDR on the list, how could anyone say obama is worse?

Clinton? Really? Clinton?!?!?!?!?!?

This poll should renamed as to "why America is doomed".

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

FDR wasn't too far behind... but... his policies will have a longer lasting affect. The entitlement disease that plagues the country, may very well lead to America's real demise.

For that reason I vote FDR.

I'm glad someone else sees FDR for the socialist that he was.

Clinton really wasn't that bad. We've had, and have, far worse. He actually managed to downsize the government somewhat. Other than his stance on guns, which should have been expected, it just wasn't a horror story.

What no Hoover?

In my opinion, its a close race between Lincoln and FDR.

I think Abe was a bigger tyrant, more heavy handed, killed more Americans.

FDR wasn't too far behind... but... his policies will have a longer lasting affect. The entitlement disease that plagues the country, may very well lead to America's real demise.

For that reason I vote FDR.

I'm going with Abe. He died the death of a tyrant, which seems fitting given the destruction he subjected our nation to and the hundreds of thousands that died at his command.

It makes me want to puke when people regurgitate the revisionist history spoon fed to our youth about what a great man he was in our inept public schools.

I agree. He wasn't the worst. He did have a hand in the burst of the housing bubble and the .com bubble that set us on our current economic course though. Then there was that whole Crime Bill thing. But overall I think Bush 43 was a worse President.

Spoken like a 1980's era lefty.

Wilson for sure, others were bad for sure, but I feel he has done the most damage and we still live with most of his mistakes!

 

[Dirtebiker]

Someone tell me how Obama is worse than presidents who put American citizens in concentration camps?

He's still got about five more years to show you! I'm sure he can pull it off!!!!

To be fair Obama and his CIA are trying to up the ante. They've been murdering loads of innocent people with their drone program and they're planning on bringing drones to our shores, too.

Only because a Republican Congress crammed a gov-reducing budget down his throat.

If they would have done it to W., we wouldn't have to worry about Obama.

Shouldn't anyone for the free market agree with NAFTA/ GATT? Someone enlighten me because I am honestly claiming ignorance.

The Federal Government likes to name their laws in a way that conveys the opposite meaning of what they actually accomplish. NAFTA brought "Free Trade" the same way the Patriot Act was patriotic.

Trade that is subject to thousands of pages of regulations is not "free". It is regulated trade, and not in our favor. NAFTA gave away powers of Congress to international bodies and created international courts that would trump even our Supreme Court. It was a big step forward for globalism and weakened the United States. Ross Perot was correct when he said that NAFTA would cause a "giant sucking sound" of American jobs being sent overseas. Twenty years later it is hard to argue with that.

Obama may be Top 5, but I don't think he is even close to Lincoln, Wilson, or FDR.

Yes it's hard to argue with it now that we have seen the destructive nature of it. Sadly the can not remember what happen last week so they can't blame NAFTA for how it helped the economy get where it is today. Hey did you see the new show The Voice yesterday. That is about all the care about.
