The Worst President is...........

I think Jackson. I admire him creating the Democratic Party and all, but i hate that he banned the Bank of the United States for a while, plus he was one of the first to use mudslinging. Let us not mention his days as a gambler, abuser, etc....

Lyndon is being massively under-represented on this list.

His sins, next to Carters, are an order of magnitude worse IMO.

I'd pick him, except I still remember being a little kid trying to figure out WTF Carter was doing, and why.

most bad presidents get dealt a bad hand, and what happens generally isnt there fault, but in my opinion, id have to say grant, or maybe LBJ.

For those of you not old enough to remember LBJ, it would be wise to read up on him so that you can see that Carter was a brilliant leader of men in comparison.

Don't know why, but I am saying FDR. My backmind is telling me that, and it is never wrong.

Worse Presidents:

1) LBJ --- Failure in Vietnam & starting the welfare programs ruined this country.
2) Jimmy Carter --- A very nice man, but didn't have the balls to run the show.
3) Abe Lincoln --- Yes, honest Abe. The dipshit got alot of people killed over politics. If the South didn't want to be part of the Union, let them leave! A Union should be of the partners choice, not a war to keep someone in the Union. I'll never understand the US Civil War, it accomplished nothing. Abe should have let the South go. Not only that, the battle plan was a diaster, all those loser Northern Generals who Abe couldn't manage.
4) Bill Clinton --- Did nothing. He just happened to be President during the Tech Bubble, was never challenged with real decision and a real moral failure.

Yes Sir, but the written word is nothing in comparison to actually having to live through the damage done.
