In my opinion the best president ever in the us was JFK and the worst ever is BUSH, who are the best and the?

Question

worst for you?

Answer 1

Best: Andrew Jackson, someone who didn't take crap from anyone.

Worst: Jimmy Carter, just a failed president on every front, both foreign and domestic

Answer 2

The only thing I think JFK was best at was being photogenic, other than that he was a mediocre President. Bush is FAR from being either worst or best. Lincoln, in my opinion, is our best ever....though Washington gets honorable mention. Our worst? Don't you read history? How about Andrew Johnson? Grant? Hoover? Clinton? Carter? Harding? I know that I've answered this question before. My opinion on who was the worst President is definitely Carter. Bush is the first President to have a foreign enemy actually attack America since Monroe in 1812. I'd say as far as the war goes, he's doing a great job, his fiscal policy? Not so great.

Answer 3

Since we only have history to inform us about the track record of most of the former presidents, it is hard to compare them.

How do you compare Martin Van Buren with James Monroe and Zachary Taylor?

Grover Cleveland should have had three stints as president; however, a legacy, Benjamin Harrison, grandson of a former president, won between Cleveland's two administration.

FDR was elected to the presidency four times. Does that say he deserved it, or was the competition so bad?

That said, I believe FDR was the best president, because his administration got this country out of the Great Depression, and won the last big war.

The worst was Richard Nixon, in that he believed that the government was not subject to the same laws as that of its people. The Watergate Hotel Scandal showed the rest of the world that the American government was hippocritical concerning respecting and protecting individual liberties for its citizens.

Answer 4

JFK is responsible for the rate of increase of 150,000 a year immigrates to 550,000 a year that was legislation brought to the white house by JFK and signed by him and orchestrated by him, it is this JFK thing that is making the USA go belly up providing benefits to foreigner we can't afford - Rome had an influx of foreigner (germans) in the fifth century and it caused the fall of Rome because of its financially a disaster to fabricate and endorse this policy on people who are already in need of protection from the laws JFK wrote and bush will have to find a way out of that plus the war before his lame ducks is over

Answer 5

Lincoln best. Worst.. probably somebody way back.. like Grant, Harding, or Polk. I never have understood the sainthood of Kennedy. A mediocre president, at best. I guess "great" if the gauge is style as opposed to substance. In the critical issues of his day.. the emerging civil rights movement and the war in Vietnam, he was all "profile" and very little "courage" in either arena. But he looked good, I suppose.

Answer 6

The best from the past would be Abraham Lincoln. I don't believe there is now, or ever has been, someone who could handle the civil war and the slavery issue as well as he did. Of modern time I would pick Ronald Reagan. He won the cold war almost single handedly. And got our hostages out of Iran without firing a shot.

The worst of all time, in my opinion, was Jimmy Carter. Anyone else remember the odd/even days at the gas stations? The lines that went on for miles and miles? The enormous interest rates? The hostages in Iran that he totally failed?

Answer 7

Bush is the absolute worst. The damage he has done will last generations. Nixon, although he was a really bad guy, did some good things for this country, like initiating talks with china. Carter hammered out a peace accord between egypt and israel (both recognize the other).
Eisenhower, who ran as a republican but didn't know which he really was, is probably our best. He had the courage to keep Mac from invading NK and fired him. He also warned about the military-industrial complex.
Sorry to say but Kennedy is like James Dean. He had to die to get that level of lasting notoriety.

Answer 8

Lincoln has to be the best for holding the country together through the biggest crisis it has ever faced.

Without a doubt Bush is the worst. He belongs in a lunatic asylum and/or prison, not the white house.

Answer 9

Looking at your little picture, you don't appear old enough to have been of the age of intelligence durning the Kennedy years. So how can you know if he was a good president or not? Reagan was the best for my years (I was born in the late 60's). The worst would be a toss between Carter and George H W Bush (the one before Clinton). Neither one of them really did anything. They are good people, but they really didn't leave a legacy. I've met Clinton, he's ok as a person, but kinda stuck on himself. I don't really agree with his politics or his paranoid delusions.

Answer 10

Andrew Jackson was best

Lyndon Johnson was 1 of the worst.

Answer 11

Abraham Lincoln was the best, Lyndon B. Johnson was the worst.
Lincoln overcame incredible odds to become our president, and make the most important victory in history - abolishing slavery forever.

In 1963 we had 16,000 in Vietnam. 5 years later, there were 550,000. Johnson played nice by passing civil rights acts, but was prone to making racial slurs in mixed company. He had his buddies in the FBI keeping surveillance on civil rights leaders and journalists that he saw as "problematic". One year after Martin Luther King Jr. began to talk about peace in Vietnam, King was assassinated. All this during Johnson's presidency.
