Who was the worst/most corrupt president to date?

Question

I think it's W. Bush; he had a part in the Enron debaucle, he started this ridiculous war, the economy is horrible, the relationship between Democrats and Republicans is more bitter than it has been in years, the Bush administration constantly lies to the public... I just think he's the worst.
Who do you think?

American Beauty, I think you are an idiot; a 6 year old can do a better job than Bush!

Answer 1

Bush didn't intervene when he knew full well that Enron was creating fake energy shortages

Answer 2

For even more reasons than you stated I totally agree. Weird you ask this because I was thinking about this very thing earlier. There cannot be anyone that would qualify more, however I am not a historian and have to believe some of the Presidents from 1800's where not great, but nothing like Bush.

edit to P W.
Do you know what the word corrupt means? Maybe instead of acting like you know history which its clear you do not, you should start studying the dictionary for the meaning of words. And just who started the war? Curious to hear who you think did?

Ok another edit to the people that are saying things like Enron witha question mark. Do you at all have any idea about Enron or are you just stupid and assuming that is a good thing to put a question mark behind? Enron basically fully funded most of everyone that is going down in the white house and Bush himself. They gave him a plane when he ran the first time for any use he wanted not to mention pretty much his best friend in the world was no other than......Kenneth Lay.. yeah you got it the guy that took the biggest wrap for that whole thing and totally tied into Bush and his cronies, oh and with Haliburton. Shut it if you don't know please... and again, who started the war if Bush didnt?

Answer 3

Prior to George W. Bush most presidents who would fit into your stated category would be either corrupt, incompetent, most lie and are patsys for the party hacks. Previously the worst has been James Buchanan, a Democrat who was wishy washy as he wanted to please both North and South but the result was the American Civil War. He was honest and not corrupt but he was incompetent. Zachary Taylor, a Whig, Millard Fillmore, a Whig, Franklin Pierce, a Democrat were also incompetent as, more recently Jimmy Carter. The Corrupt ones were Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Harding and Nixon, all Republicans. The biggest liars would be Harding and Nixon. George W. Bush is the only one that is both corrupt and incompetent as well as a liar. Additionally he is is arrogant and greedy. Some are marginal in these areas. Only a few were really in that category of greatness which would include Lincoln, FDR, T. Roosevelt, Washington, Jackson and Jefferson. Near great would be Wilson, Polk, Madison, Truman, and Eisenhower.

Answer 4

bs b - you've certainly got the right initials... you're full of bs.
The man with the history did his homework. The remarks of ignorance and stupidity certainly applies. Get the facts and quit spouting gibberish and hogwash.

Someone please tell me how Bush was involved in Enron.
The economy is still expanding and the stock market is still climbing as fast as it was in the 90's.
The Democrats have always lambasted the Republicans and tried driving them out of office with the help of the liberal media (since they have a hard time getting elected and staying in power).
It's the Liberal Media that lies to the public and covers up for the short-comings of the Democrats.
How many Democrats step down when caught with their hand in the cookie jar? Or cash in the freezer? Or Classified papers in their pants? Or Cigars in orifices that don't qualify as sex acts? Or smoking pot, but not inhaling? and on and on and on... and you say that Bush lies?
You must be LOST in a forest that only has two trees. One on your left and one on your right... and you keep peeing on the wrong one.

Answer 5

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, need to say more. Philippines has now rank into No. 1 as the most corrupt country in the world. From the top down to the lowest position in the government, why do you think they are dying to be in the position when all we know the salary won't compensate that much.Try to live in the philippines so you would know.....

Answer 6

It's a toss up between Clinton and Carter. Both inept hillbillies by the way, whom you libs give a pass for their shucks southern accent, but you can't seem to give the same consideration for W.

But then again you libs are admittedly known for implementing double standards, like o say the media. you libs love to cause the accident and then point fingers at everyone else and shift the blame.

or better still, you're the maroons who "Work" for the utility company digging up a perfectly good and working road, then never put it back the way it was or worse and then blame the drivers for causing the problem.

That's a liberal in summation. Carter and Clinton are in a dead heat for the worst presidents in any country's history. They will be thankfully forgotten, unwept, and most certainly unsung by anyone with any brains or morals.

And they're both a great argument for abortion!

Answer 7

The most personally corrupt was Nixon, but Johnson (Lyndon Baines) was equally corrupt. The most scandal ridden terms were Grant and Johnson (Andrew). A. Johnson didn't deserve his bad press and impeachment though. The country just wasn't up for the strain of him not being Lincoln after the assassination and while dealing with the period of reconstruction. Hoover also was a poor president with the onset of the Great Depression.

Answer 8

You can tarbrush people who say it's W as being biased but seriously, no one comes close. For the longest time Nixon was considered the corrupt one, but all he did was spy on his competition and paranoidly record his own people. That's a real drop in the bucket compared to the last six years and the ways in which he got into (and stayed in) office. Reagan, Bush Sr., and Clinton may have done a few bad things, and I'm not claiming that they weren't tools themselves (and what does getting a BJ in the Oval Office have to do with running a country? people, get over it, the only one who has the right to punish him for those evils is his wife) but the present administration really takes the cake. History is not going to be kind to W, and I pray that the country can come back from this black era.

Answer 9

Ion Iliescu. The thing is he's not a president anymore but his organized mafia from the senate and house of reps and overthrew the president Basescu just a few days ago. Iliescu is communist and how embarassing will it be if he becomes president and Romania turns into a communist country. That old man might be running but what do you Americans care about but yourselves.

Answer 10

Unless I say Bush, you won't agree with me.
Please tell me why the economy is horrible,
how Bush was part of the Enron scandal,
how he alone started this war without congress approving, what he lied about and
how he caused such bitterness between the dems and reps.

I am sure youn can provide some reputable facts, can you?? Well, ............we're waiting!
