The worst president would have to be James Buchanan. A more capable man might have averted America's civil war, but alas, Buchanan wasn't even close to being up to the task. Here's a sample of his biography. I'll post a link so you can read the rest if you are interested.
It will be interesting to see how many 17 year olds you get who say "Bush."
James Buchanan
Tall, stately, stiffly formal in the high stock he wore around his jowls, James Buchanan was the only President who never married.
Presiding over a rapidly dividing Nation, Buchanan grasped inadequately the political realities of the time. Relying on constitutional doctrines to close the widening rift over slavery, he failed to understand that the North would not accept constitutional arguments which favored the South. Nor could he realize how sectionalism had realigned political parties: the Democrats split; the Whigs were destroyed, giving rise to the Republicans.

The answer to your question is blatantly obvious it is also obvious that it isn't what you want to hear. Well you did ask the question so I will skip right to the why? No other President has ever attacked the prinicples that this nation was founded on. Civil Liberties....He has taken the authority for his NSA to listen in on phone calls of law abideing US citizens without a warrant from any court. Human Rights... He has passed through his congress the right to torture against the Geneva Convention. Due
Process He has secretly held captives in secret prisons without attorney tortured them and will be using hearsay evidence against them...does this sound like these people will be getting a fair trial or is it more fair to simply execute them on the White House lawn? Would these small nuances make him the worst President in the history of our country? Yes obviously.

William Jefferson Clinton. He rode the dotcom boom like he created it himself even though it was the result of the hard work of many entrepeneurs, and he refused to take the blame when it imploded just before he left office.
He made a joke of the Oval Office with the Lewinski affair. He lied under oath before the grand jury, attempting to tie things up by demanding legal definitions for nearly every word in the charges listed against him. He was the second sitting president ever to be impeached, and was charged with purjury and obstruction of justice.
In Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo he got our troups killed without any defined mission objective and no exit strategy (something Democrats & Liberals conveniently keep forgetting). He had Osama bin Laden in custody and let him go.
Other defining Clinton moments included the sexual harrassment scandals (involving Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick), the White House travel office controversy, the White House personnel file controversy, the 1996 United States campaign finance controversy, the payment-for-pardons controversy, and his continuing denial that he ever did anything wrong in spite of glaring evidence to the contrary.
His dim legacy goes on and on and on, but you probably get my drift by now.

It shows that our forefathers of this great u . s . a . had a great ingenious and prescient, that this is business enterprise of a faith via government, or the endorsement of comparable, this is deadly. yet, in all issues, that they had prayer, all of them went to church homes, the Congress even has it relatively is very own ordained individual to supply prayer, so as that they did no longer separate themselves from God, basically had to maintain any centralized capacity from forcing a undeniable religious conformity on others. there are various spurious claims made via Liberals and atheists, that this is faulty to have church-proper activities in public places, on public grounds. this is a purple herring, it relatively is not incorrect, as long as all religions could use the customary public property, then it relatively is okay, yet as customary, Liberals have twisted it to purpose to point that anybody with an business enterprise theory in God with any prepared faith is a approach or the different perverting the sturdy via being waiting to apply taxpayer-funded homes or property of their teach of religion. Denial of all religious activities

Bill Clinton is the worse.His choice to ignore Bin Laden after the first WTC attack and the USS Cole attack as well as endless embassie bombings is what led to 9-11 and the death of 3000 Americans.Also lets not forget the nukes he let N Korea have and selling pardons to spies and pedophiles. And also helped Milosevic run all of those people out of Serbia.Yea, lets talk about senseless wars, Liberals supported THAT one! What a guy..
Bush on the other hand was left with his mess, now we have a great economy,we have been protected, and one of the most vicious,evil men since Hitler is getting hanged.

In my life, it would have to be bush. How can a man who can't put two sentences together without them being written, be an effective president? Look at the last six years. The answer is he can't. He lies to us at any time, he doesn't talk to us, he talks DOWN to us, as if we are to stupid to understand things. He invaded another country with lies and more lies. Some people will say well, they voted to go to war. My question is this--- how can one vote fairly and honestly on anything if the information is lies or based on lies. He has taken away some of our rights, he spies on us, he can now arrest us and not charge us with anything, he listens to our conservations,he has accused us of being traitors if we don't agree with him, he has gotten thousands of us killed, is this what you elected him to do?

I believe it is George W. Bush for the following reasons:
He attacked Afghanistan in search of Al Queda, Taliban, and Osama only to divert funding from this war to Iraq (which is illegal). Today, the Taliban have reclaimed much power. Heroin trade is back up to pre-war levels. Osama is still missing.
He invaded Iraq by "fixing the intelligence to meet the policy" as the Downing Street Memos indicate. It was the greatest invasion in US history that was based on the notion of pre-emption. And think about it, we IGNORED the UN to invade a country for IGNORING the UN.
He squandered the biggest surplus in US history.
He ran up the highest deficit in US history - not exactly a fiscal conservative.
In his first year as president, he set a record for the most vacation days of any president.
He presided over the worst security breach and the greatest attack on American soil in US history. And while it was happening, sat and read a book about goats for several minutes.
It took him over 18 months to even set up an investigation into the biggest security breach in American History and then refused to testify under oath before the 9/11 Commission. He demanded that he be interviewed, in private, with Dick Cheney at his side.
Appointed more convicted criminals to adminsitrative and WH positions than any other president in history.
He permitted the deepest cuts in Veteran's benefits than any other president.
He presided over the biggest stock fraud scandal in the history of the United States and yet accepted campaign contributions from some of the people accused in the matter.
He has had the least amount of press conferences among all presidents since the birth of television.
He has broken or overturned more international treaties than any other president in US History.
He was in charge when the the worst federal response followed the worst natural disaster (Katrina.) And he refused to accept any responsibility for it.
He has ignored more generals than any other president. Many of them suggested that the Iraq war required more troops. Many of them demanded better post-war planning. Many of them demanded that Rumsfeld be fired. Bush has ignored all of that.
He doesn't keep his promises to children - No Child Left Behind is under-funded by as much as 10 billion dollars.
30 Million Americans live in poverty as of 2006. There are steeper cuts to the basic health benefits and shelter provided to children living under poverty under Bush.
All this...and more...and yet he hasn't admitted one mistake since he has been in office.

mudmarine makes a good case for carter but I have to go with Bush.
Most incompetent group of staff and appointments ever
the most massive addition to the debt by more than all former administrations
Most botched war ever
Also the going on 3000 young people killed for nothing, and of course 2000+ wounded and who know how many mentally screwed up.

George W Bush.
He's a war criminal along the same lines as Hitler whilst cloaking his evil as "Spreading Democracy"
He is a fanatical unilateralist (you're either with us or against us) and the world is too complex to be summrd up in this balck and white fashion.
He's a coward who used his dad to avoid combat duty in the army.
He has the IQ of a child.
Ultimatley he has started a worldwide religious war that will still be being fought many years after his death. He will be remembered as a mass murderer in the same vein as Mao or Stalin.
