Worst U.S. president ever? **POLL**

So, whom do you guys think was the worst U.S. president in history?

EDIT: Please do not include Barack Obama, as he has not been president long enough to be judged properly.

I've not been alive to witness the results of the other presidents first-hand, so I have to say Bush.jointed

Hoover was pretty badMaddenBowler10

I was going to say the samething.

I believe Grant is the correct answer, with all the scandals during his administration.

William Henry Harrison......yeah

Google it and you will understand

Anyone who doesn't pick James Buchanan needs to read up on US History. :|Stevo_the_gamer

Herbert Hoover caught alot of blame for the great depression so hes a canditate, but Bush is the worst president IMO..warbmxjohn

Why is he one of the best presidents we have ever had? lilburtonboy748

Well first all of, he got the US out of the worst depression ever seen. He made many reforms, made a lot of public works for those unemployed, he kept us isolated from WW2 as long as possible, though I guess pearl harbor wouldn't have happened if he hadn't waited so long, but seeing as you are a pacifist, I guess that is alright to you..I can't think of another president better, maybe except Lincoln.

To be blunt, FDR did not get us out of the Depression-WWII did. You can argue that FDR did a good job, though, of keeping the country together during the GD/WWII.

chessmaster1989

Very true ;).

Gotta go with W. as the worst. His administration was responsible for violating every one of the first 10 ammendments of the constitution except the 3rd. Repealled posse commetatus act, illegally spied on his own citizenry, illegally kidnapped and detained citizens and foreign nationals, ignored the right of habeas corpus. Ignored repeated warnings about an immenent attack on the US. Never pursued the guy responsible, let that guy's family members fly out of the US. Refused to conduct any meaningful investigation as to how the attack could have happened. Destroyed evidence. Invaded a nation with no links to the attack in contravention to US and international law. Removed goverment oversight into financial and industrial regulations, which led to what may be the worst economic crisis the US has ever faced. Basically did to the US what 2 world wars did to the UK. ENjoy the fade into obscurity, kids! Thanks George.

I'd say 2nd worst was Grant, but he's not on your list of choices.

Clearly, other people on this forum haven't done their research:|.

I still disagree with you on FDR's performance during the GD-I think that he at the very least held together morale, and probably helped some, too.

That said, he did not pull us out of the Depression.

[QUOTE="leonard88"]maybe Nixon with the watergate scandellilburtonboy748

Very true. Actually, Nixon wasn't a terrible president (for domestic policy, at least; his foreign policy was not that great); he just turned out to be a crook :P.
