Default The Three Worst Presidents

There were probably others worse than Hoover. I forgot... the one who
supposedly looked so "presidential" that he was nominated because of his
looks. I can't remember the name at the moment. I believe his administration
was riddled with corruption. Then there was Grant. He was a terrible
president, again with a very corrupt administration, although he was a great
man.

Carter was terrible, but he's made up for it as one of the best
ex-presidents. Ford did nothing, and still does nothing. Personally, I liked
Reagan. I met him once while he was governor. It was hard not to like him,
although my politics at the time was a bit more left than they are now. :-)

Jimmy Carter/Ronald Reagon Tie for 3rd worst
Jimmy Carter was certainly a man of high standards, but his total lack
of experience lead to a 4 year stalemate for American politics. Reagan
was well loved and knew how to play the average American like a fiddle,
but he was a racist cowboy who attempted to destroy the melting pot
that was the very fabric and soul of America

George Bush Sr, 2nd worst
Compared to his son, Bush Sr. seems like a mild prototype of his son,
though he did embrace at least some republican values of merit.

George Bush Jr. Worst president of all time...so far
Started war over invented WMDs
9/11 occurs on his watch
Sits in class room while towers burn and Americans die
Admits Iraq is no threat a few months before starting war campaign. It's
on tape.
Uses OLD and VERY OLD intelligence dating back to early 90's to support
war.
Announced the worlds funniest coalition of support (with almost zero
military support).
Useless war generates the worst anti-American standard worldwide.
War claims the lives of thousands of Americans, civilians and children.
US forces are sent in without basic gear required and must scavenge for
it.
Bush opposes woman's right to choose.
Bush opposes stem cell research against massive public outcry to appease
his religious friends.
Bush denies secret prisons, torture and worse, then admits to it,
defying the basic principals on which this country was founded.
Bush allows big oil to gouge the American public and they don't even try
to hide the profits.


Congrats to our current president and his very few supporters.


Predictably composed by one who obviously never picked up an American
history text, or at least never bothered to read the ones he was issued in
high school.
