My vote had to go to FDR. Only because he modelled how to stay in a depression for 8 years. Obama has had only 2 years. We've got 6 to go if he continutes the FDR model for recovery.

RayfromUSA: Let's see who wins.
In response to: A 2010 Siena poll of 238 Presidential scholars found that former president George W. Bush was ranked 39th out of 43, with poor ratings in handling of the economy, communication, ability to compromise, foreign policy accomplishments and intelligence. Meanwhile, the current president, Barack Obama was ranked 15th out of 43, with high ratings for imagination, communication ability and intelligence and a low rating for background (family, education and experience).
According to presidential scholars, GW Bush ranks very low as a president while Obama is doing fairly well.
Gosh, though,I suppose those guys, those historians who spend their lives on this type of thing, don't really know anything...

JeanMarlow: Are you suggesting that only 2 percent of Americans say GW Bush is the worst president ever? This poll must have been taken at the Republican National Convention, or maybe the NRA convention.....
Or is it just the opposite? Only 2% think he is the best president? That makes more sense, much more sense......

USA today is'nt known for it's political conservatism.
chris27292729: Never take parts in Polls,but i say Bush 2 ,known as a big IDIOT.- "Lets see who wins" and the "Nobel Idiocy Prize" goes to GWB the second.-
JeanMarlow: When you posted the poll, you should have clarified what the poll question was. I looked it up. The question was who do you think is the greates US president. 2 percent said GW Bush. Which makes sense. Well, it's kinda crazy that anyone would think he was the greatest, but some people are just lost souls....
I felt the same about Obama even showing up on the ranking.
So far, over 50% of the respondents choosing Bush II are dead wrong because:
1. They're still sore because Gore lost 2. They're still mad because Clinton got impeached 3. They're commie pinkos who hate anyone positioned right of Karl Marx 4. They have no idea how bad Jimmy Carter was

OOps.....Gardenhackle.......you must have mis-placed your comments in the wrong thread again...... The correct thread for your comments is "Is it just me or are there a lot of......"
Maybe in reality - most voted Bush 2 because he was an arrogant idiot who plunged us into two wars and the certainty of economic disaster - with a smirk on his face .....

Who voted or didn't vote for him has no bearing on whether he was the worst president in the US. Presidential historians have already fielded the question about whether or not Bush was the worst president in history and he's not.
As to why people voted for him? Gore and Kerry. HELLLLOOOOOO!!!!!!
How many idiots will admit they voted that lunatic Gore or "Gee, did I mention I'm a Vietnam Vet" Kerry?

you look like charlie,hey I was there in the early days....not to good
Woodrow Wilson In his first term, Wilson pushed a DEMOCRATIC Congress to pass: the Federal Reserve Act, (putting the control of money into another private banking system) the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and the first U.S UNCONSTITUTIONAL federal (un-apportioned) progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913. (to pay the bankers for printing money the federal government could do interest free)
exfaa: I think the world hates Americans because of him How many people in the US Can now stand up and say....yes,I voted for him
No, the world hates Americans because we don't give a rip whether you approve of our politics or not and because we're big enough, rich enough and powerful enough that no amount of smug tongue wagging from Europeans gets any reaction from us except a one-finger salute.
Hate us all you want. You'll still be asking for US help and money. How does that make you feel? Depending so heavily on people you hate?

gininitaly: I voted for Ralph Nader... ever heard of him? we might have been a much different place if we had.
Different, definitely. Better.... that's not nearly so easy to say. Nader is a nutcase. Hard to say if he would have had much of an impact as president, though. We give presidents a lot more credit and blame than they really deserve. The checks and balances in our government keep really bad presidents from doing too much damage. Like the Iraq war - wouldn't have happened without a democrat congress approving it.
