Worst US President; (134)

I'll bet! After the Soviets and the Mujaheddin killed a million Afghans and Saddam averaged thirty thousand Iraqis per month with no escape possible you can bet people ran when they were free.

And bush made that freedom possible. Now, millions are returning thanks to their new found freedom.

What I said (in reply to a gent who stated that Bush was the worst ever;

"Abe Lincoln. Killed over a million fellow Americans in a war which could have easily been averted. Then, because of his stubbornness to preserve a common entity which would have been preserved separately through common beliefs and politics it took over fifty years to recover and,, to this very day, it still has not recovered totally.

Yet history sees him as great.

Bush freed fifty million people. Maybe some will see him as great someday. At least the freedom worshiping people anyhow. "

You seem to have understood what I was saying Catlin. That possibly the greatest of all Presidents is less than Bush as he killed far more people, shredded the constitution, made war on his own people killing over a million of them and wasted far more money than Bush ever did and, only freed eight hundred thousand people in the process of destroying half the country.

So, on the basis of whatever scale people claim Bush was the worst, it makes Lincoln the worst and Bush a total success compared side by side.

Two similarities between the men are that both had deep conviction in what they were doing and unwavering will power. Something that would have crushed lesser men. And something very strange is that although both freed vast numbers of people, that freedom was never the actual intent of their actions.

I believe that both were great men and, just wanted to add Catlin that you seem to understand the irrelevance of the poll in that history begins the second after an event however, the view grows less jaundiced the farther away you are so history may actually judge Bush as one of the greatest as well as his actions parallel Lincolns in many ways.

Well, A lot of people forget about Nixon, he must come 2nd,
Its all down to Corruption & how much can they get away with, with-out getting found-out....
Hoover Is 3rd, with his CIA...

Lincoln and Bush get my vote as the worst president in history, both giving a damn less what was best for the county and both WAR MONGERS Dang but those Republicans sure know how to stimulate the economy with war...Lincoln takes first place for the civil war he promoted pitting brother against brother....JMHO

More Democrat presidents have waged war then Republicans.

I voted for Kerry ....only because he was slightly the lesser of two idiots ......and then I had to have a few shots of vodka

Not for money

For BJs.

I know someone that has helped in Iraq, She said the people there are very grateful that the US has helped, The only drawback i can see about the situation is the way it was handled as for declaring war, Also the buying of prisoners for a reported 5000 dollars each whether they were innocent or guilty as charged, However we did free the people also rebuilt what was destroyed plus some, Hard saying what Gore would have done or even Saddam, Very hard call with so many lives at stake and trillions of dollars needed to make everything happen.
Still a matter of trying to get all the troops home, Not forgetting about all the prisoners sitting in cells yet, The cost of keeping them locked away, US did there job and We the people have paid the cost and will remain contributing until the last of the troops return home and all the prisoners stand trial or are set free. Question would be ... Would other countries do the same for the US...

I would have voted for Kerry as he looked so cool on that boat in Boston harbor but Acorn didn't register me until '08. Problem was, Palin was running around giving out free shots of vodka from a moose horn so that sort of stopped me from leaning towards Obama. (actually made me lean to much to do anything.)

absolutey, who he knows about FDR would consider him to be the best in all departments u care to name, but absent political lining n' bias, LBJ did as well good social structuring around.
nowthen when u have some idiot spending $600mil on waefare,just to prove that he's an acheaver, that's what i call a classic case of gross negligence from the voters' part.
thanx dear for saving me the time to rewrite what you've did.

Could someone tell me who Jimmy Carter was the most inept?
Can anyone name 1 thing he managed to do to help our country???
After thinking, I can not come up with just 1
