2 minutes to midnight in 1953:

1953 - The United States and the Soviet Union test thermonuclear devices within nine months of one another. Clock changed to two minutes to midnight (one minute closer, its closest approach to midnight to date).

11:59:57 Cuban missile crisis. That is probably the closest it has been, but G.W. isn't out of office yet.
