Barack Obama: Worst president ever?

[Moose242]

He also interned his own citizens

So did Lincoln, very illegally.

I'm not a fan of Nixon, FDR, Carter or Obama.

No Herbert Hoover fans?

Hitler took over Germany and the Japanese started invading China and building up their empire under his watch. Not to mention going from a booming economy to a depression his first year in office, eventually leading to a world wide depression and WW2.

The worst things in my opinion under his watch though were using the military to forcibly remove protesting veterans from Washington and the Mexican Repatriation policy he started, neither of which are taught about in schools for some reason.

He may not be the worst ever but he has to be close to the top, and unfortunately a Republican.

I'll have to reserve judgement between Obama and Carter for being the worst president in my lifetime. Obama's term isn't finished, so I can't form an accurate opinion yet but it looks like Carter may hold on to first place.

[Machx2]

He is pretty bad!

[Racewerx]

Carter sucked ass, The economy was horrible there where no jobs and he could not help the hostages in Iran. The hostage thing really made me hate the peanut farming prick. Over all I think Obamy has done more damage based on the short amount of time in office.

What's to discuss, I'd say thats an open and shut case of YES!

Ever? I'm not sure, but in my lifetime? No doubt. LBJ and Carter were pretty damn bad. As far as entitlement programs, LBJ just killed us long term. He also escalated Viet Nam, consequently, costing 60k American lives.

Carter tried to do most of what this current ass-hat is doing. I had a 22% car loan (on a '79 Z28) and a 15% mortgage on my first house. Double-digit unemployment AND inflation. It was surreal.

I've never seen a POTUS down-talk our country and bow down (literally) to third-world country leaders. Never seen a POTUS spend $800 billion dollars on a "stimulus package", and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Never seen a POTUS to buy votes in the house and senate to institute socialized medicine. There's so much more, but my post is becoming boring, so I'll just say he the worst in the last 50 years.
Unlike 90% of the people on this board, I'm old enough to have LIVED this. I'm not talking about rumors or classroom bullshit...I was there.

I'm only a little way behind you (42 in less than 2 weeks) and I agree completely.
I just missed out (if you wanna call it that) on LBJ, but got to see plenty of the mess he left behind.
During the Carter administration, I was almost ashamed of our country.
When President Reagan took over, that was reversed in short order. I even had the pleasure of meeting him when I was 15, he was just coming out of the Oval Office and stopped and took the time to chat with my family...that's just the kind of man he was.

If you like learning about president's I suggest a book called ("Oval Office Oddities" An Irreverent collection of presidential Facts, Follies, and Foibles. By Bill Fawcett
It's a very interesting and fun read. at the end they rank the top 7 presidents and bottom 5.
top 7: Washington
Lincoln
F.D.R
Andrew Jackson
Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Truman
Ronald Reagan
Bottom Five:Franklin Pierce
Andrew Johnson
James Buchanan
Jimmy Carter
Warren Harding

Jimmy Carter is starting to look like a good president when compared to obama. At the least obama is replacing him at the bottom of the pile.

You put FDR in your TOP list?!?! Why the fuck would anyone do that?

I was refering to the books list. The book has FDR in the top 7.
stating"Franklin Delano Roosevelt:strong leadership through 2 nation-shaking crises, the Great Depression, and WW2. Many of FDR's New Deal social policies pervade American society to this day."
