Answer 2

From a strictly policy standpoint, Nixon was actually a very effective President. He certainly broke the law (even though he had NO reason to worry about the election -- see his electoral supermajority in said election) and deserved the impeachment which would have come had he not stepped down. If Watergate hadn't happened, he would probably be more celebrated than he is hated now.

As far as Jimmy Carter is concerned, he wasn't a BAD president -- he was VERY unfortunate and a political outsider. In fact, he was elected because he was a political outsider. The problem was that Congress wouldn't listen to him, so many problems (like the energy crisis) couldn't be solved. And the idea that he caused the energy crisis is preposterous. Simply because it occured does not make it his fault -- blame (and credit) for the economy's can almost never be given to the President, as the only influence he has in economic matters is to give ideas to Congress.

Bush may be a misguided or bad President, but he's certainly not the worst we've had. For example, James Buchanan made no attempt to keep the country from fighting a Civil War -- strong leadership could have lead to a cooling of tempers. And, of course, the Civil War was the most catastrophic thing to happen to the country. Andrew Johnson was also terrible, but mostly because Congress HATED him. They kicked him around like a sock puppet, even impeaching and almost (by one vote) convicting him of violating a law that was specifically designed for that purpose (it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, of course).

Answer 3

I don't suppose you have any idea what watergate was about, do you?

That goes without saying, regarding Bush, you obviously have no idea what is going on in this world.

If you are interested in presidential pardons, I suggest you look at Bill Clinton, and look at the caliber of people, and the crimes he pardoned (his last hours of office), versus any other president.

Bill Clinton pardoned sixteen members of the FALN organization. These men belonged to a Puerto Rican freedom terrorist group, which was responsible for planting over 130 bombs in public places in the U.S. They killed six people and injured seventy. The FALN represented the single largest terrorism campaign in the U.S. “Yet Clinton’s clemency released individuals from prison after serving less than twenty years of terms running from fifty-five to ninety years.” President Clinton did not follow formal pardon procedures. He skipped the Department of Justice and attorneys. The FBI did not conduct any background checks, and the FALN did not execute a formal request.

The House of Representatives later passed a resolution condemning Clinton’s pardon as an explicitly illegal action. Investigations were launched to find reasonable grounds for the clemency. However, “Congressional efforts to learn more about the FALN matter came to an end when Clinton invoked executive privilege to refuse subpoenas from congressional committee.” As the critics raged, the White House maintained that the pardon power is not subject to legislative deliberation. It is speculated that Clinton pardoned members of the FALN in exchange for funds for his wife's New York senatorial campaign in 2000.

Answer 4

Bush

Answer 5

President Bush is the worst president in the last 61 years

Answer 6

No, actually Jimmy Carter was the worst President. Only Millard Filmore did less in his Presidency. But Fillmore died in the first six months of his term.

I can't believe you are one of those fools who blame the President for 9/11. Please respond and tell us all how the Governor of Texas did that! If you want to blame the President, try Clinton.

Carter has pandered to terrorists for 20 years, and continues to show his hatred for America.

Stop listening to the Communist News Network (CNN), and try to find out what's really happening.

Answer 7

First, spell check is a wonderful tool. Learn how to use it.

To answer your question, neither has been our worst president. I can't speak for our entire history but during my lifetime I'd have to go with Carter. With his lack of response to the Iranian hostage crisis he put into motion the events that lead to 9/11. He showed weakness, and those people thrive on attacking weakness.

Answer 8

Nixon! Are you the reason that President Bush made the law of "No Child Left Behind"?
Did you take your tests? Do you use spell check? Did you learn sentence structure?

Answer 9

No. There would be Clinton with his lies to the special prosecutor, impeachment, white water (we've forgotten that), and, well, you know; Carter, trying to do away with the military and getting us in the position we are in now; Kennedy-good speaker, but adulterer, got us into Vietnam; FDR who unbalanced the budget for the first time in American history and stuck around at least two terms longer than he should have....Shall I go on?

Answer 10

All presidents are the same. they wont dare rock the boat. W. is simply less nuanced, less subtle; he is more arrogant, more John Wayne then even R. Reagan. He is a typical son of privilege who thinks he is above the rest. Remember, only little people obey the law and pay taxes
