LBJ wasnt a proponent of Civil Rights. He was a proponent of vote buying, by whatever means. Johnson was a flaming racist.

this is idiotic.

Any list would have to include Buchnnan, A. Johnson, and harding. You could also add Millard Fillmore to the list.

Lyndon Johnson is responsible for our move towards being a welfare state. He deserves to be on the list.


Not to mention the build up of that little military exercise he presided over.

And yet you remain largely ignorant of the Carter administration's accomplishments.

That the Democrats didn't like Carter should tell you that he wasn't as bad as most conservatives think.


I know precisely what Carter accomplished/failed to accomplish during his administration and I don't know what Democrats not liking Carter means, maybe means he was ineffective, maybe means he was too progressive for their tastes, maybe means he was too conservative for their tastes, etc. What he did/didn't do is what it is.

Accomplishments? You mean like costing American farmers as much as a billion dollars with the Russian grain embargo?

And that's literally just the first example of his ineptitude I thought of.

These efforts to prop up Jimmy Carter are downright comical.

Very good list, no idea why you're being downvoted

Bush would definitely not make my 5 worst human beings to serve as president list, but he might belong on this one

Best 5 presidents:

4. Clinton (don't kid yourselves, from an economic standpoint he was good)




Many rules put in base to protect the stock market where taken away by him caused the boom but there is always a price to pay down the road, which started after he had left office.

FDR was a bad president but not bottom 5. That's crazy.

He's not bottom 5 of Prsidents since the turn of the 20th century, hell he's not even the worst Roosevelt. He was a bad president and he is extremely popular

TR
Wilson
Johnson
Nixon
Obama
Bush
Clinton

were all worse than FDR

Any list that doesn't include Bill Clinton is irrelevant.

Got a list?

Would you compare that list to a similar one for Nixon?

I agree, but no one is actually trying to prop him up, just trying to shed some light on his presidency because no one seems to have a clue about it, yet they all seems to have an opinion of it. I'm mostly just wondering why he gets a bad rep, and Nixon doesn't.

Meh, they made that all up with the Farm Bill.

I'll match that with his appointment of Paul Volcker - which he was criticized for at the time.

Just as Ford wouldn't make my list of top 5 presidents, but would make my list of top 5 MEN to be president.

Trump is worse than the guy who brought us the depression and the guy who brought us civil war?

I can see trump being bottom 10 for some people, but it is crazy to rank him worse than Hoover and Buchanan.
