Who is the best and worst president in U.S history in your opinion?

Answer 1

I am not so sure about Best...Regan was great but so were Lincoln, Washington and Teddy Roosevelt to name a few others.

As much as I dislike Clinton and what he did to the office I don't think he will be considered much of anything in the annuls of history.

I am going with Johnson as the absolute worst. LBJ gave us a welfare system that made the people feel they were entitled to something just because they live here. We are still paying people to sit at home and watch Jerry Springer all day that is hardly a "great society." LBJ got us stuck in Vietnam and lacked the clout in Congress to keep them from trying to run the war. If we ever learn anything from him I hope it is that no war can ever be won when the 400 plus members of Congress try to command the military.

Answer 2

I have to say Lincoln is the best for keeping this Country together when it was doing its best to split apart.

I have to say GWB is the worst for splitting this Country apart when it was doing its best to get its sh*t back together.

Eight trillion dollars in debt, our first unprovoked war on another nation, and the way the rest of the world (and sixty-three percent of this Country) perceive the gov't of the USA more than speak for themselves.

There has never been a more close-mouthed, self-serving, hypocritical, dysfunctional, deceitful, and incompetent administration. Bush has spent more money than all other administrations in U.S. history put together and he still insists that we have enough money to reduce taxes, but only for the wealthiest Swine this world has ever known.

This buffoon could not possibly understand a Sesame Street numbers lesson. Yale's math classes must really be pathetic.

And then there's the flagrant disregard of the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights, and the attempted dismantling of these two beacons of freedom.

And the Crusades are back! The last time, they lasted for a hundred years, and the worst weapon anyone had back then were spears and a primitive form of a longbow.

Goodnight, Irene!

Answer 3

The best President the USA has ever had was George Washington. This is not necessarily because of what he did, but because of what he could have done but did not do. He was so well loved that he could have seized dicatorial powers and become like a Naploeon, or could have appointed himself King for life. But he instead took the model of Seneca and only rose to the challenges that he was asked to bear under the laws that applied to him. Moreover, he adopted the wisest foreign policy our nation ever knew: non-intervention in the affairs of other countries.

Abraham Lincoln would have to go down in history as the worst. He could have reunited the union peacefully with a little finesse and patience, but instead made war on the South, pulverizing it to bits and wiping out an entire generation of young men, leaving the region poor and destitute for 100 years. He was no friend of the African-American, either, only freeing the slaves in the Confederate states that were still unoccupied by Union forces, a cheap political ploy if there ever was one solely intended to stave off the sympathy of the English and French for Jefferson Davis government in Richmond. In short, the deaths of over 600,000 men and boys are his legacy. An angel of mercy named John Wilkes Booth put a bullet in his power-mad syphillitic brain before he had the chance to appoint himself permanent Emperor. Thank goodness the South had the dignity to lay down arms and not sacrifice every last one of its sons to put down this monster. Let me reiterate. Abraham Lincoln did not care about the freedom of the black man or of his own countrymen. His few remembered words, while noble-sounding, are drowned out by his bloodthirsty actions, and for that, this country has never been the same and has fallen short of its true potential.
