Which three presidents do you think will go down in history as the worst?

Question

Wider, why Andrew Johnson, thought he had no control and was almost voted out by the congress wanting blood for the war.

Answer 1

The three democrat presidents since Kennedy

Answer 2

Carter-might be a nice guy but with his economic and foreign policies hosed us (thats the PG version deemed appropriate for Y!A, If I had my druthers I'd use a stronger verb than "hosed"). We also had the Disco movement durring his administration (somethings are unforgivable).

FDR-It took him over two years to get our country to do more than sell arms to the Brits to fight the Nazis and their ideals. He also tried to add an additional two justices to the supreme court(congress shot that one down).

Clinton(Hillary or Bill whichever one was running the country between 1992 and 2000)- The USAF dorms at Khobar towers was bombed, we did nothing. The World Trade Center was bombed, we did nothing. The USS Cole was bombed, we did nothing. Our embassies were bombed, we did nothing. Anybody else see a pattern here?

Those are the three worst in my humble opinion(here comes the onslaught of thumbs down ratings from my grandparents generation for including FDR on my list)

FDR......WHAT New Deal? His creation of Social Security and Welfare programs, plus his introduction to the notion that we are a "democracy" instead of a constitutional republic has contributed to generations of degredation of our once great nation

Answer 10

1) George W. Bush
2) Herbert Hoover
3) James Buchanan


{The president came to office calling himself "a uniter, not a divider" and promising to soften the acrimonious tone in Washington. He has had two enormous opportunities to fulfill those pledges: first, in the noisy aftermath of his controversial election in 2000, and, even more, after the attacks of September 11th, when the nation pulled behind him as it has supported no other president in living memory. Yet under both sets of historically unprecedented circumstances, Bush has chosen to act in ways that have left the country less united and more divided, less conciliatory and more acrimonious -- much like James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson and Herbert Hoover before him. And, like those three predecessors, Bush has done so in the service of a rigid ideology that permits no deviation and refuses to adjust to changing realities. Buchanan failed the test of Southern secession, Johnson failed in the face of Reconstruction, and Hoover failed in the face of the Great Depression. Bush has failed to confront his own failures in both domestic and international affairs, above all in his ill-conceived responses to radical Islamic terrorism. Having confused steely resolve with what Ralph Waldo Emerson called "a foolish consistency . . . adored by little statesmen," Bush has become entangled in tragedies of his own making, compounding those visited upon the country by outside forces.}

Answer 11

Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton.

Oh, I forgot Richard Nixon.
