Hey LBJ how many kids did U kill today?? (Vietnam)

 

and he tried to get with JFK's wife when he died, he cursed like no other, and ppl are saying he might have been behind JFK's death. If U saw the history channels show of phone calls he made U can tell he's a bad bad man. Good thing he stepped down.

As an aside..... Presidents (and VP's) are notoriusly profane.

Dubya is bad, but I decided to give Nixon my vote. Expanding the Vietnam War into Cambodia (which may have indirectly assisted the Khmer Rouge) and Laos, concocting an enemies' list and utilizing the IRS and FBI to threaten people on it, attempting to discredit his opponents by breaking into a psychiatrist's office, hiding evidence, erasing evidence, yada, yada, yada. Oh, and there's that little matter of resigning in disgrace.

 

But Dubya is a close second.

Bull, you know LBJ did all that IRS stuff too, right?

While I agree that the New Deal has been disaster that has formed the foundation of the modern Democratic Party

 

I cant say that FDR was the worst

 

and heres why

 

Because there was no blue print on how to deal with the issues that we faced during the Great Depression something/anything needed to be done and he just threw a whole bunch of S!!! at the wall and some of it stuck.

 

but at least he had the courage to do something

 

 

My vote went for Johnson

 

 

when all is said and done I consider Truman the best president on the list followed by Nixon then Reagan. The rest all float between bad and neutral. Its way too soon to judge Bush IIs presidency.

 

The only thing I can say for 100% certainty about him is that if he was a Democrat he would be hailed as the greatest president after Bill Clinton

 

 

and as for the one reason why Clinton should be hated how about selling classified top secret nuclear missle guidance systems to the Chinese.

 

I think that more than qualifies as a reason to hate him.

I hate clinton too.

Well economists then and now agreed that the government should not interfere and tax. So that method was always available...FDR took the socialist route.

 

Just so you all know, Hoover was working on passing the FDIC, the only good thing the new deal really had (because it provides for economic stability.) Thus, FDR pretty much was not needed and only harmed America.

 

The only thing I can say for 100% certainty about him is that if he was a Democrat he would be hailed as the greatest president after Bill Clinton

 

You're right about that. He would get a pass for his unjustified war, get all of the props for increasing social programs, and his tax cuts would make him "a uniter." There's clearly an anti-republican bias.

Can we get one thing clear? FDR had no more to do with ending the depression than I did. All FDR did was create the modern welfare-state.

 

If you want to go thanking someone for ending the depression you should thank Hitler and Hirohito, b/c the war is what stopped the depression.

The worst president, I think in my opinion, is someone that you haven't listed up there, but he's not a modern prez. I think it's Andrew Johnson. What did he do during the post Civil War years? Our country was still recovering from the war and he didn't really do anything to pull it together. He was also the first president to be impeached.

I gave my vote to JFK.

 

Truman is my favorite President of all time, I'm also an ardent supporter of President Bush. :cool

I gave my vote to JFK.

Thats not cool.

I gave my vote to JFK.

Thats not cool. JFK stinked, name one good thing he did...call himself a doughnut?

I gave my vote to JFK.

Thats not cool. The poll is here to be voted on, and I have my reasons. :cool

Worst president ever was without a doubt Ulysses S. Grant, but based on those on this list, I would put them in the following order from worst to best.

 

1. JFK

2. Carter

3. FDR

4. Nixon

5. LBJ

6. Bush (The sequel)

7. Ford

8. Truman

9. Bush

10. Clinton

11. Ike

12. Reagan

There's no way in hell Dubya should EVER be ahead of FDR.

 

GWB:

-Since he came into office, we've lost 2 million or more jobs

-Economy went into the toilet for a few months

-Caused a massive surge in the federal deficit

-Stretched the manpower of the Army to the limit to fight his vendetta war

-Severely damaged relations with Europe and many UN nations

-Clearly had no plan for the reconstruction of Iraq once the war ended

-Overall, he has badly hurt the U.S.'s image abroad

 

Worst of all, he fell right into Osama's trap by invading Iraq, and adding more fuel to the radical belief that America plans to take over the Middle East. Now, we're stuck in a no-win situation. Because Bush set the June 30th deadline, we either have to hand over the government to the completely unqualified Iraqi interim government, or keep control of the country and make the people there even more angry. If we pull out of the country entirely, there will almost certainly be either a civil war, or the creation of another Taliban-style government, or both. I just don't see any exit strategy that works here.

I voted for Bush 2, given the limited options. But where the hell is Harding? Buchanan? Harrison? There've been some pretty bad US presidents. And it really may be too soon to close the historical book on Bush. Even as a detractor, I'm willing to admit that he MIGHT still do something to turn his record around.

I would say calvin coolidge was way worse than harding...who at least wanted to use the "harding plan" to make the executive branch more efficient. Coolidge just sat on his ass.

Our country was still recovering from the war and he didn't really do anything to pull it together. He was also the first president to be impeached.

Actually, to be fair, all he did was try to follow Lincoln's route to reconstruction. The Republicans in Congress wanted blood and put up many roadblocks to his plans, including the Tenure of Office Act (which was probably unconstitutional). His direct challenge to the Tenure of Office Act led to his impeachment.

 

However, his pardoning of the plotters of Lincoln's assassination certainly doesn't make him come off smelling like roses.

FDR was one of the best US presidents guys. Why U all getting on him?

Because he sucked, hurt the economy, and took away our rights.

 

Name a good thing he did.

He developed jobs like camps for rangers and lots of organizations. He also developed public speaking through the radio. He was like the first president to use the radio so much. He didnt ruin the economy that was Hoover. I dont know who youre teacher is, but they need to get theyre facts str8!!!

You are obviously not well informed on this issue.

 

1. Hoover used the radio very much so, however no one is denying FDR's great speaking skills. However, are we going to say that because Einstein wasn't a good speaker, his work sucked? So radio is irrelevant.

 

2. FDR used the CCC to have public works IN CANADA. Talk about a waste of money. His fiscal policies worsened and LENGTHENED the depression. Is that good.

 

3. Hoover did not cause the depression. I would like to give you the credit of being a smart and rational person, but a smart and rational person would know that Hoover became president just months BEFORE the depression began. So how is it his fault?

 

I'm too busy to give you the numbers now, but economic recovery began when Hoover, not Roosevelt was in office. Programs that Hoover wanted, the RFC and FDIC are what truly helped the economy, not the bloated socialist works programs that were inefficient and lengthened the depression.

 

Unless you are in favor of longer economic depressions and having your rights taken away, I don't see how you can like FDR, oh brainwashed one.
