Depends on how you view worst. Nixon was corupt but did a lot good as well although its was his foreing policy that shined. His domestic agenda was lacking. Carter was benefactor of Nixon's crimes. Carter had no real skills to be President but American wanted an honest man in White House and that what we got. along with long lines at Gas pump and Americans held hostage for a year in Iran. So yes Carter would be on top of my list but I have to feel Bill Clinton was worse and I know many will disagree.

The worst ever... its kind of hard.  Clinton sunk the level of President to a new low, that'll be hard to beat.  Carter had his "malaise" (well, he was lame but not corrupt, just his cabinet was).  FDR and the new deal, sounded good until it was realized he used public money to support private industry and he created a permanent welfare state, which as everyone knows was the beginning of the end of personal responsibility.  JFK did a great job rallying around the flag and making people happy they were American again, but he was lost on the international stage and "Camelot" was only really good if you were rich, a democrat and from Massachusettes, but despite all that he wasn't that bad.  \n\nThere was Daley, sure.  But don't leave out all the others who sat in congress for years and didn't consider themselves corrupt because they weren't stealing money directly, just funneling it to people who would eventually employee them one they "retired".\n\nAnd just to appease the whiny libs out there, yes I acknowledge there have been corrupt republicans out there, but just look at White Water and all the people involved who "suicided" or just were killed under suspicious "accidental" circumstances and you'll realize that "Monica-gate" was one of the more elaborate ruses in the history of politics.  There may be some bad republicans, but the democrats have a time honored tradition of dishonesty and corruption.\n\nAnd why are the people answering this question bringing the authors appearance and spelling into the argument?  Are you third graders who can't form a coherent thought ?  Grow up!  We know you are upset because year after year you vote the party line and continue sending lame thieves into office.  Just look at New Orleans putting Nagin back into office and tell me I'm wrong.

Our current president, George W. Bush, is the worst!

I believe he may possibly be the worst President in American history. He's allowed political corruption to flourish while in office and has alienated a huge number of voters on both sides of the political spectrum by catering to extremists and other specail interests. I don't think he's stupid, but I do believe he's easily swayed by the hawks in his administration. There's no voice of reason since Colin Powell resigned... \n\nFurther, he's increased the national debt by over 2 TRILLION dollars, while cutting taxes...I'm no fan of taxes, but his fiscal policies are dangerous and potentially ruinous....what's worse is that kids like you will be left holding the bag...

I'm not a liberal, obviously. (There but for the grace of God go I), but there's one thing I remember the most about Jimmy Carter that you neglected to mention. It's had a longer lasting effect that anything else that idiot did. And as a resident of FL, I am shocked that you overlooked it-\n\nTHOSE F*CKING MURIEL BOATLIFTS!!!! Thanks a lot, you stupid cracker!!!

Press Secretary, I believe, pretty much the Presidents' spokesman. Now, can I be a little smart -alecky? He was totally incompetent, glad to see him go.

I think I will remember him for being the head of the most inept, corrupt administration ever. His taking a budget surplus and making it the hugest deficit in history, and his tax cuts to the very rich while cutting programs for the poor. I will remember him for being the shame of America for starting a war for little or no reason. Every thing I will remember him for will be cast in a negative light.

i used to think reagan was the worst president ever. before bush.\n\nhmm. what was so bad about reagan? overthrowing democractically elected governments in south & central america because they were too liberal for his buddies' tastes and doing so via illegal wars financed through the secret, illegal selling of weapons to their (U.S.'s)  enemies. (namely Iran. btw, saddam hussein was the U.S.'s good buddy at this time, they were also selling him weapons, and he was at war with who? that's right IRAN.) another way they financed those wars was that the cia imported cocaine and dumped it in black ghettoes, which lends a whole new meaning to reagan's ' war on drugs.' that's for starters.\n\nand believe it or not, bush's gang  is worse.\n\noh  yeah. aroooooooooooooooooooooooo

I agree with most of your comments.\n\nI agree that Truman was one of the best.  He, above all other things, accepted responisibility for his actions and wanted the President to be a man of unquestioned integrity.\n\nFor that reason, I believe the two Bushes to be the worst.  Neither has shown any desire to be a President that would make the American people proud.  All three of their combined terms have been marked by avoidance of responibility and the pursuit of personal interests over the good of the country.\n\nKennedy was overrated.  Didn't really do very many things well.  He relied almost completely on charisma.\n\nCarter was in way over his head and deserves to be among the worst, but has been a great ex-president.  I think he deserves some respect for his dipomacy and charity work since leaving office.\n\nRight on about Harding and Silent Cal.  I am torn on Clinton, although the country was relatively peace and prosperous during his tenure, I think much of the credit goes to Congress and gridlock rather than his own actions.  And he didn't have a strong sence of honour and integrity.\n\nI noticed you left off FDR and LBJ.  Both of whom were inexplicably popular.  FDR had good luck and charisma, JBL had bad luck and charisma.  I would put FDR on the best list, but not very high.  The circumstances surrounding his presidency would have made anyone look good.  Johnson belongs on the worst list in my opinion.  Although he did much good, he chose to sacrifice thousands of lives in Vietnam rather than make the unpopular decision to pull them out.

Bill Clinton was the worst President this country has ever known, however Carter is right up there within a millimeter.
