It’s a failure of both. I didn’t say it was all the federal government’s fault.

Wilson was worse than Bush. League of nations BS.

Obama did so much more damage overall.

Biden was horrid but he was a puppet for Obamas people.

What exactly happened during his term that would have tempted him to engage in a war in the ME?

It isn't that he didn't try. Remember when he sent Gore to beg Congress to give permission to go to war with Iraq?

I’m not sure what Obama did, other than not make the issue of race go away, and no single president can do that…


Besides ruining all progress made in race relations he ruined an already lacking healthcare system.

Although the Fed is supposedly independent, the quantitative easing and low interest rates that lasted throughout his presidency is what accelerated the path to fiscal ruin this country is currently on (current president is no better).

Since he basically hated this country, Obama made it acceptable for others to express their hate for this country.

He gave us Joe Biden. Without Obama, Biden would never have been president.

There is much more.

We probably haven’t had a functioning Congress since W’s first term. Not sure how that ever gets fixed with the state of hyper partisan politics.

BIden is the poster child for worst president until someone else can beat him “senile old crook / pervert who was lead around by his handlers for four years.”

Clinton’s economy is light years better than the pile of shite we’re living in now.

Clinton rode the dotcom bubble all the way to the top...he had nothing to do with it happening.

A dog could have been in the White house at the time and the economy would have been the same.

Let us not forget that it was Clinton's policies of giving home loans to any and everybody, regardless of ability to pay, that led to the housing crash.

If you are going to give him credit for one give him credit for the other.

Yeah, I almost posted the same, not for lack of trying.

He engaged in plenty of military ops, including bombing Iran (twice?).

Going forward from 1960, Obama and LBJ were the two worst Presidents. I think and good argument could be made that Bush/Cheney would be 3rd worst.

Sure there was. Without thinking hard at all - Clinton's tax reform of 1993 was very different policy from Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax policy that he got passed.

Do tell how Obama set country back 100 yrs, what did he do that was so horrible for America?
The current occupant is doing a great job of cementing himself as worse ever and he still has more time to prove the point

Underperforming doesn't mean worse. No Dem since JFK was "better" than W.

i can have a moderate defense of compassionate conservatism (just NeoCon) and understand where it's coming from

e.g. I probably agree with Ben Shapiro on the majority of issues

but some of the principle issues (like the UT/Indian debate or Dubya letting in a ton of the third world) are where some fundamental things break down with that crew.



That being said the answer will always be Joe Biden. That's not recency bias, that is a complete ineffective leader that was not cognizant most of his presidency and we went from unfettered legal immigration destroying the country to legal and illegal immigration destroying our country with the doors wide open.


Wilson, FDR, and Johnson round out my Mt. Rushmore of awful presidents.

Converting a nation from one in which the population was rooted in personal responsibility to one rooted in daddy government is never 'right for the times'

Easy to pile on years later.

At the time, Who knew how to deal with 9/11?

Can’t really plan for a Katrina either.

The housing crash kinda caught folks by surprise too.
