Who makes ur list for the five worst presidents of all time?

Question

for me....
5. Haren warren and calvin coolidge (tie)
drunk bastards who did nothing except party and could not control our excess credit spending in the 1920s, which in part led to the gp in 1927.
4. Woodrow Wilson : i kn now that ppl are gonna jump at me for this BUT he didnot pursue/convince americans enough to join the league of nations. Thats may have prevented Hitler from getting too much power.
3. Hoover Herbert: enough said.
2. Richard Nixon: two words tricky d!ck. Again enough said.
1. Lyndon B. Johnson for trying to block the civil rights legislative. For lying to the congress and getting involved in the vietnam war.

Answer 1

Herbert Hoover
U.S. Grant
Andrew Jackson
Richard Nixon
Andrew Johnson

Answer 2

1) Warren Harding . Alcoholic promiscuous and not very intelligent
2)Richard Nixon Total loss of trust and Morals despite good foreign policy
3)James Buchanan . Could have done a lot more to avoid the Civil war
4) Calvin Coolidge. Had an unworried presidency that led to the huge depression
5) Franklin Pierce. Another great contributor to the impending Civil war

Some Presidents though well meant were quite ineffective, namely Andrew Johnson and Herbert Hoover. Ulysses Grant a war hero had a very scandal ridden presidency.

Answer 3

1) John Quincy Adams: he wasn't a people person and to be a president you must be a people person. he pretty much expected to be granted the honor of someone coming up to him and saying "hello there would you kindly please sir be our president?. also a terrible presdential campaign calling jackson the satan.

2) Andrew Johnson: exists to confuse students about him and jackson but thats not why idont like him. He was kind of a madman and didn't fulfill the trust lincoln put in him by making him vice president when he became president. Got impeached and it doesnt matter that he was acquitted because he remained an impotent president thereafter.

3) Herbert Hoover: not really because I don't like him but he was just toooo weak.

4) Harry S Truman: people can agree or disagree but the bombing of Japan had devastating results that reverberate into today. There must have been an alternative. There should have been because only civilians who dont even cause this problem died.

5) John Adams: the alien and sedition acts are enough to put him on this list and i dont know which is worse: the fact that they were for ordinary people or the fact that the underlying cause was to repress the republicans in congress.

to tell you the truth i too almost put wilson on my list but then thought there were worse.
because the treaty of versailles and his points proved ineffective in the long run and why didn't america join the league of nations?
also what it was that british prime minister who appeased hitler so really hitler's coming to power was inevitable due to this appeasement and after the unfair points of the treaty, germany was bound to perpetuate another war. everyone was involved so i believe everyone was equally at fault not just germany!

oh yes and the person who said about canada i agree the war of 1812 was totally about canada no doubt although it reamins a fluffed up truth americans try to conceal

Answer 4

2. Lyndon Baines Johnson, I think he may have even been responsible for JFK's death. He wanted to get us involved in the Vietnam conflict and JFK was opposed to it.

1. The current George Bush He can never look you in the eye, he can't speak a coherent sentence, he is all about the wealthy oil tycoons, of which he is one, and he is just plain dishonest.

3. Jimmy Carter was weak and ineffectual and alienated both Democrats and Republicans

4. Grant A good General, though he drank too much, but not a powerful president

5. Van Buren He was hostile to American Indians.

Answer 5

#5 Hoover- For allowing the Bonus March Fiasco to elivate into a Massacre of Downtrodden Veterans asking for thier just rewards.

#4 Coolidge - Reasons pointed by Author above

#3 Abe Lincoln - History is written by the victor, and the Martyred are always put up on peddle stools. He was a Dirt bag.

#2 Ronald Reagan- Started the Downfall of the Labor Unions there by Beginning the end of the Middle Class.

#1 George W. Bush - I'm not jumping on the Band wagon. I have always hated this IDIOT. Murderer of 3000+ Americans.

Answer 6

(5) Nixon - lasting damage done by Watergate; humiliating retreat from Vietnam
(4) Carter - decent, honorable man but economically inept and let the national defense deteriorate dangerously.
(3) Andrew Johnson - too weak to stop the Radical Republicans in Congress from imposing a Reconstruction scheme that left the South crippled to this day.
(2) Grant - corruption on a grand scale; great general, terrible president
(1) Buchanan - did nothing while the Union was disintegrating around him; left it for his successor to clean up.

Answer 7

1. Abe Lincoln. The Civil War should never have happened. Because of twisting arm policy, Lincoln sparked and started the Civil War.

2. Herbert Hoover. Couldn't make up for Collige's mistake of slowing down an overheated stock market system.

3.John F. Kennedy. He almost got everyone killed with the Bay of Pigs crisis. His great, grand father was a bootlegger and mobster in Boston, who exploited his power to make his family ultra rich.

4. Jimmy Carter. Failed to handle the Middle East situation properly. Instead he kept on talking about peace between the Jews and the Arabs as though he was a simpleton idealist. During his administration we had our first gas crisis, then our first Middle East crisis with the hostages held in Iran.

5. James Madison. Wanted to expand to Canada, believing the English were tied up with battling Napoleon. Had bad information since Napoleon's army suffered tremendous loss in Russia.

Answer 8

FDR
Brought socialism to a free country. Gave the Soviets western Europe and Korea

Wilson
Under him we got income tax, the Federal Reserve, and the states lost a check and balance with the direct election of Senators)

US Grant
Pure corruption

Truman
Sat back while Communism took over western Europe and most of Asia.

Lincoln
not for fighting the civil war but for the powers he used to win it. every president since him has wanted that power and today they pretty much do.

Answer 9

I'll go with Coolige and Harding but Wilson I can't agree...beside, he died before he could do any real work on the League (and FDR believed and spoke for the League or a similar joint committee).

Hoover, I differ again. His policies were actually quite similar to Roosevelts- see Leuchtenburg's Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. FDR was just a better PR man.

I think you can relpace one on your list with Bill Clinton - pick one, any one....

Answer 10

1. Bill Clinton 2. Richard Nixon 3.Jimmy Carter 4. John F Kennedy 5. Andrew Jackson
