Gene Frenkle Posted November 4, 2008 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted November 4, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted November 4, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Presidential election is hyped.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 4, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't count Harrison, as he was only in office for 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted November 5, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
