Who was the most immoral President in America's History?

Question

Leave Bush and Clinton out. I'm talking historically.
I believe Andrew Jackson was becuase of his treatment of Native Peoples. What's your choice?

Sheesh people, I said leave Clinton AND Bush out. In our time it's easy to point to them becuase of the intense Con vs. Dem debate right now.

And this is just my opinion. But if I lived through Vietnam, I'd draft dodge to. What's the point in killing poor people that pose no threat to your country? OH RIGHT, We're in Iraq right now aren't we.

Answer 1

Carter, Clinton take your pick. Both were real gems!

Answer 2

All presidents prior to Jackson treated the Natives with disrespect. Some presidents even owned slaves. How is that 'more moral' than what Jackson did?

Kennedy had mistresses.

Nixon lied.

Hoover let the economy fall into depression.

Wilson was a wimp. The League of Nations was his only half-way decent attempt at world politics.

The US was in Vietnam to help the French (who were there fighting way before us), then the French left us holding the bag. The US was there to stop the threat of Communism. Back then, it was believed that the root of all communism came from Moscow. I forget the word, but I think it's Monolisim. It wasn't, so in the end, we looked stupid.

Lastly, it's unfair to remove Clinton and Bush from the list. Of all the presidents, these two are the worst.
Clinton lied to the nation about getting a hummer from Lewinsky. He had people killed. Jennfier Flowers. Whitewater. His presidential pardons, etc....
Bush....well, no need to beat a dead horse there.

Combined, Bush and Clinton are more immoral than all of the previous presidents combined.

Of course, even combined, they are still nowhere near as bad as Vladimir Putin in Russia.

Answer 3

There are so many to pick from , but I guess it comes down to your own definition of what you consider immoral. You could make a argument that Harry Truman was the most when he decided to drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan in two cities. Yes we were at war but does that make it any less immoral to kill almost the whole civilian population of two cities in the matter of seconds. you could argue that Roosevelt was the most immoral for creating interment camps and locking up thousands of Japanese Americans during WW I I . Like I said, it comes down to what outrages you more. If you were a Republican when Clinton was in office, you would scream how immoral Clinton was for getting a BJ in the White House from someone other then his wife. If you are a democrat, you would say Bush is Immoral because he took us into a war under false pretenses. To pick just one President that two people would agree on, is damn near imposable. For me, I get real suspicious of anyone who wants to run around and point their finger and cry out that he or she is immoral.

Answer 4

properly, sorry, you misplaced all validity once you tried to rationalize the failings that Nazis did (you purely stated asphyxiating human beings became humane). curiously, you do not have a complete awareness approximately history and government the two, judging from what you have written (putting you on par with the youngsters you so derided); you're ignorant, a minimum of. to respond to your question, in usa, in case you have a unmarried drop of blood in you that's no longer white, than you're no longer seen white. Any multi-racial man or woman who's an element minority and section white is seen a minority. For any multi-racial man or woman to no longer understand this actuality shocks me a touch, yet when I examine your "further info," i'm no no longer bowled over.

Answer 5

You make a good point with Andrew. I'd would have to go with John Kenneedy. !st he cheated on his wife numerous times in the white house, thusly risking national security and placing himself in a postion to be bribed to keep quiet. He also had the bay or pigs crisis that he caused by very poor judgement. The day before his death he and an appoval rating of 38%...he was a horrible President

Answer 6

I personally go back as far as Truman and I think the only one that did have any morals was President Carter and he was an incompetent idiot. A good man in WAY over his head.

BTW, don't join the military, we need people we can depend on. Brave young men will keep you safe so you can bad mouth the foreign policy of your country. Sounds a bit like Clinton, are you planning to run for President when you grow up?

Answer 7

Yes. I agree Andrew Jackson was the most immoral pres. we've ever had along with the worst. He actually killed people in duels and made people lose their eyes in fights and always got revenge for varying things like when Nicholas Biddle the pres. of the National Bank said he was the most powerful man in the country he took all the money out of the bank and got us in a depression.

Answer 8

Jimmy "Commy" Carter. His presidency was set in place to do five things.
1) Bring peace between the two major Middle east countries that were at war Egypt and Syria and bring the Arab nations together
2) Abandon our only true ally in that region Iran, help with the Shaw's overthrow - remember the extremist Muslim Ayatollah Khomeini was in exile in France waiting for this to happen.
3) Help propagate that Israel was the true enemy of all Arab nations and abandon them when they needed us most.
4) Attempt to turn the US against Israel and leave her to face the Arab nations, Russia, China and France.
5) To destroy our reputation as a nation that helps it's friends and will protect the weak. To disgrace us with our allies and show the world we are really cowards.

Thank GOD he was a one term president and did not have time to complete his evil plan.

Also remember he left our fellow American citizens in captivity to the very radical Islamic he help put in power for over a year. He is how most American born communist react to their comrades. This is one president who should be buried where his heart has always been.....Moscow!

Answer 9

The problem is we're judging men of 50, 100, 150, 200 years ago by the standards of today. What seems absolutely wrong today may have been a what-else-can-I-do situation then.

Having said that, the truly immoral are those who turn their backs on the people from whence they came.

Ronald Reagan grew up poor, served in the U.S. Army (though not in combat) and was surrounded by people who loved their country. As President, he took from the poor to give to the rich, visited a cemetery where Nazi SS officers who had killed Americans were buried (not ordinary Germans who were draftees, these men were trained killers who enjoyed it), and sold weapons to the ayatollahs of Iran, Saddam Hussein, and the men who became the Taliban.

Top that. Or bottom it, as the case may be.

Answer 10

Because that is not a topic readily discussed no one really knows. Only lately have we been so nosy into the private lives of our Chief Executive that such things surface. By nature such acts are generally blown way out of proportion in the media that the media is embarrassed once proved wrong that they have not been eager to do it. Grover Cleveland was taunted by the Republicans for fathering an illigitmate son. But he fooled them he admitted it and supported the kid until adult hood. The Republicans would go around saying "Ma, ma, where's my pa"....The Democrats would respond with "Gone to the White House, ha,ha, ha."

Answer 11

Woodrow Wilson. For not doing more to punish the Germans that ultimately carried out the Holocaust.
