Gene Frenkle Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 With time running out on our current Commander in Chief, I thought this might be a good topic. Personally, I don't think I've seen enough Presidents to have a truly informed opinion on the matter, but I did find this article interesting: http://hnn.us/articles/48916.html I'm sure it's just written by a bunch of commie liberal college types (who are really only into whores and beer pong) - or at least that's the response this will get from some. But considering his abysmal approval rating, are these historians really that far off? Would this election still be considered so important if the man wasn't a complete failure in so many ways? Who was worse than George W. Bush? Let the sh-- storm begin!
/dev/null Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 That list should end with Reagan, possibly GHW Bush Takes 15-20 years to objectively judge a Presidency after they leave office
murra Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 That list should end with Reagan, possibly GHW Bush Takes 15-20 years to objectively judge a Presidency after they leave office Why do you think Reagan was the worst president ever? I tend to think he was the best.
Gene Frenkle Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Why do you think Reagan was the worst president ever? I tend to think he was the best. I think he was saying that Clinton and W should not be included in the poll because enough time has not yet passed to decide how effective their presidencies were. Doesn't mean we can't talk about it here, though.

Dante Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Ronnie all the way. Any guy with balls to fire a bunch of public employees(Air Traffic Controllers) like that without flinching is a stud!

Every Presidential election is hyped. I don't why you read that stuff written by those liberal commie college types that their only interest in life is Beer Pong and whores

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I think you could throw Harding and Hoover in with Carter and GW Bush as well. You're giving Coolidge a free pass? His economic policies pretty much caused the Great Depression. James Buchanan might have actually been the worst though.
SJ Bills backer Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 How bout ole Hickory Andrew Jackson. His election victory party took days to break up and his admin was quite corrupt
HopsGuy Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 You're giving Coolidge a free pass? His economic policies pretty much caused the Great Depression. James Buchanan might have actually been the worst though. Robert Wuhl did a whole thing on this. Here is a [poor] copy where he tears up Franklin Pierce.
bills_fan Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 You're giving Coolidge a free pass? His economic policies pretty much caused the Great Depression. James Buchanan might have actually been the worst though. Adding in Buchanan and Coolidge, IMHO, make up the worst 6 we have ever had. We can debate the rank, but those are probably the worst. I don't count Harrison, as he was only in office for 30 days.
Chef Jim Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore. Did you vote for either of them?
DC Tom Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 James Buchanan might have actually been the worst though. As the President most directly responsible for the dissolution of the Union, you'd pretty much have to put the guy at the bottom of the list. Franklin Pierce was pretty damned miserable as well. Personally, I'd rate Grant and Bush II about equal.

Social Security will be the end of our Union.
