Worst President of all time: George W. Bush

Best choice of President for 2008: Barack Obama
Worst choice of President for 2008: John McCain, Hillary Clinton.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Most people base their decision on how good a president was on how their administration directly affected their lives. In most respects, the opinions would be all over the place. I liked Clinton's administration because my life improved greatly while he was president and I thought he did many good things.

Wealthy corporate people would see most republicans as having done a good job because they would be the benefactors of their policies.

Answer 2

Worst president of all time FDR
He rounded up the Japeness after Pearl harbor put them into camps.
Turn away a ship load of Jews trying to escape the holocaust.
Turn this nation into a nation depending on the government than ourselves.
Censor all the letters going in and out of the country
When he die he die in the arms of the woman he was having an affair with.

Best president was Lincoln because he didn't do the popluar thing but the righ thing and was hated for it. The democrats refer to him as a monkey ( how for somethings they don't change)

Worst choices for 08 Obama or Hillary they are one in the same

Best choice Fred Thompson

If you know anything about rating presidents no historian worth their salt does that tell they are out of office and normally wait until they are dead for a while.

So that leave Bushs, Clinton, Carter off the list.

When it come to W time will tell but he was reelected with a majority of votes and that doesn't happen that often.

Answer 3

I agree with James all the way. Someone said in here that Obama was being blackmailed by the Clintons. I just think that the Demoncrats chose Obama because he was the most radical leftist LIBERAL in the Demoncratic party.....they chose him to do the dirty work. No matter how much money Government spends, things tend to get a lot worse. Wake up people, this was a PORKULUS bill. Obama promised you who voted for him that there would be NO EARMARKS in this bill!! All of it was mostly a SPENDING BILL and for BIGGER GOVERNMENT. I really think that Mr. Obama should step down from his position already. He's not doing good right now. Many just need to stop being in denial already and wake up and smell the coffee. All Obama wants is a Socialist government with his SOCIALIST AGENDAS. It all comes down to this, what this government has done was reward the ones who caused all this mess. When are Americans going to speak out against HIM and his gang??

Answer 4

.I agree with you about G.W. Bush being the worst. the rest I don't have an opinion. Best choice for 2008 I haven't figured that out yet I am a republican I can't vote Democrat (my conscience won't allow me), I think McCain is all but washed up. I might go Independent.

Answer 5

The worst president is Jimmy Carter with James Buchanan a close second

Answer 6

Carter

Answer 7

No I disagree on your placement for George Bush. History will bear him out more favorably than you realize. Dwight did nothing so why you put him as best I don't understand. Nixon did more good than Dwight. Clinton was impeached and a train wreck and Kennedy really didn't finish much. LBJ actually did more for the civil rights movement than Kennedy ever thought of.
Worst of all time is Carter.
Barack has no experience, so why you would want to hire him into the most power job in the world is beyond any logic. I agree on your worst choice candidates.

Answer 8

I agree with most of your choices.

Exceptions....

Worst Rep. Prez....add Reagan

Worst Dem. Prez...remove Carter & Johnson....

Answer 9

I agree with jsut about everything you wrote.
I'm not familiar with buchanan, but I'll accept it.

Amazing how similar my list would be

Answer 10

My opinion it would have to be Lyndon Johnson followed very closely behind by Bush Jr.
