Worst US President of the last hundred years?

No doubt it has been Obama.

Our first affirmative action POTUS.

Elected because of his skin color, and held to very low standards for the same reason (and being a dem).

He turned Americans against each other and weaponized the government against his political opponents.

I was a young child when Reagan was POTUS, but I wonder how he compares with Trump, even at this stage in Trump's presidency.

 

Arguably he was the only man who could have done it, speaker of the house who knew where the bodies were buried and the favours owed and was a southerner himself.

 

I really find it hard to believe people think Obama was the worst president of the last 100 years, I think that's either the prejudice of recent memory or just partisanship.

 

I thought Johnson was in the Senate at the time he accepted the Vice Presidency and not the house.

 

well I foolishly voted for Obama, twice, and yes I think he is the worst president in USA history. Plus it's really not even close.


And I cannot possibly be going off of my prejudice nor partisanship, just his agenda, proving that he was a lowdown Z-wurld marionette.

 

Trump is the worst president in the entire history of the entire nation, and thats after only 2 years.

I dont need him to finish his term to know this.

My vote is Trump.

 

Trump is the worst. Hoover was not much better.

 

Yes, you're right, he was, he had been in Congress but had moved to the Senate when he became VP.

 

Why exactly?

 

Again, why? I haven't noticed a Great Depression under Trump?

 

I really don't understand why Obama gets 3 times the votes of everyone else, his time in office was one of peace and prosperity if weak foreign policy.

 

Check out #50
previous page.

What peace?
Ferguson, Missouri?

What prosperity?
Not the regular working person who got taxed more so welfare folks are taken care of.
Obama's recovery never got down to the working person. Just the Wall St. folks who supported him.

Not mentioned in #50 was his ineptness during the illegalities of the
Foreclosure crisis.
People losing their homes because they could not afford the legal expenses
the Banks' legal teams could require.
The State of California did more to stop it than Obama and his Attorney General.
Banks committing fraud on Americans and Obama just watched!

 

It probably has to do with the obvious overwhelming overrepresentation that Hard-Core Trumpists have at PF.

If there was ever any doubt about how heavily this forum is tilted in favor of the RW, that poll removes all doubt.

Nobody (who expects to be taken seriously) could possibly believe that Obama was a worse President than Harding, Hoover, Nixon, Etc.

The Anti-Obama vote isn't based on any standard of objective reality.

It is merely a function of how heavily this forum is tilted toward the RW.

 

No one hated NIXON more than Moi.
But, as I look back at the flawed President who signed the
Endangered Species Act into law, I have become soft.
Certainly Watergate and Vietnam were detestable.
But, he does not qualify as among the worst.
Even his spying hardly compares with The Patriot Act.

Hoover was instituting recovery programs but, was overwhelmed.
He wasn't the smart one among Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.


Obama gets my worst vote for reasons outlined in #50 and 62 .
What part of that do you disagree. #50 and 62 .

 

To be fair Nixon ended the US's involvement in Nam.

 

ONE person was killed at Ferguson and he had it coming. Plenty of other presidents suffered worst riots. You also have to ask what Obama did differently to GW?

 

To Be Fair
It was the people who ended Vietnam and their Congress getting the message!

Today without the draft, wars are endless as Vietnam might have been without the draft.

 

Obama did it while Black.
No improvement in race relations.
How many killed - how about property destruction and other costs of a arson riot?

 

Everyone is going to say either Obama or Trump but I'm going to push the boat out there and suggest 2 candidates at the same time as joint worst one Dem, one Rep.

Bill Clinton the crime bill! Also the rapes.
G W Bush the war in Iraq

 

Dinesh D'Souza wrote in his book about Obama that Obama's white mother was down on white people, America, and Western Civilization in general. He wrote that when someone who Obama's mother was close to started praising the West for its accomplishments, she sent Obama away so he wouldn't hear that.

 

Obama by far. Before Obama's presidency, Jimmy Carter was far and away the worst president ever, and we're still paying dearly for his mistakes. But unlike Obama, all the other worst presidents ever (Carter, LBJ, FDR, Wilson) thought they were doing good, thought they were doing right by the country. No such claim can be made for Obama. He set out to "fundamentally transform" this country, i.e., tear it down and replace it with something else. Obama's intentions were purely dishonorable, and the only saving grace is that not everything he tried to do got done. But a lot of what he set out to do, he did, and we will be suffering the consequences for generations. And with his final parting shot, he committed treason by giving aid and comfort to our sworn mortal enemy, Iran.

 

Nixon always said there was no anti-war movement, only an anti-draft movement and the way it faded after he abolished the draft bears him out.

 

Compared to the LA riots? Or Watts?

 

I'm a foreigner and I picked up G.W.Bush. I think it was the one which destroyed the most your reputation at the international, Obama was a hell of an ******* but he managed to keep his reputation clean while creating chaos in Lybia and Syria.

I fear the day they will do an "Obama" in my country : present an ******* as a saint because he is slighty colored or a woman.

 

Bill Clinton's crime bill cut crime by huge percentages, it was an unqualified success. As for the accusations, they're unproven and he is innocent until proven guilty.

Iraq seems to be working out these days.
