I think 2001, because of 9-11, will go down in history as our worst because we lost our naivete`. We got a one day crash course in the frailty of human life,a rude awakening to just how much most of the world loathes us, and a new vocabulary of terrorist-speak.

It's way too early to judge George W Bush but historically speaking  most rate U.S. Grant as the worst president.. Not so much because of Grant himself but because he  brought in friends and family into the executive most of which turned out to be of low character. The Grant admistration was wrackme by corruption , payoffs and scandal.\nso there YOu have it US GRANT

Worst is Nebraska.  I could write a book on that one on why it is the worst.  Best is Oklahoma or Arkansas.

The worst president was Reagan; Reagan was formally charged with crimes against humanity by the International Court ( Contras -training terrorists) Next would be Bush jr for the barbaric bombing of the helpless people of Badgad [ by all mean an act of gratuitous agreesion and a crime against humanity] Bombing and destruction of Fallujah. Clinton  was a nice president although he provided weapons to the indonesain dictatorship use for killing and enslaving the population of east-timor..\n\nyou could go all the way down to JF Kennedy and prosecute all president of the US with war crimes.\n\n( Billy C, You can't be serious, in 15 years from now , you won't be able to buy a glass of water cuz you will be broke. In 30 years, you have better chances that your grand children will grow frogs legs off their ribs rather than having this imbecile vindicated..\n\nBy the way your poors look poorer than cubans in cubas lol! and over there in Cuba they do have doctors at the very least!

Worst Democratic president was Franklin Roosevelt. His policies will lead to the ultimate end of the United states. He created the 'Entitlment mentality' that is prevalent today. This will bankrupt us all eventually and continue to foster corruption in government. \nThe worst Republican president was Herbert Hoover. Hoover instituted massive trade Tarrifs that excascerbated the oncoming Depression and was completely inept at influencing economic policy. This worldwide Depression led to the environment in the 30's where people voted for Roosevelt who ruined America! Also, the Depression created the environment of instability that led to the rise of the Axis Powers prior to WWII.

Not ever. 1994 was horrible, and 2002, not much better. Thank God I still remember 1970, 1982 and 1986!

There are several dismal, embarrassing American atrocities including:\n\nAndrew Jackson putting Cherokee people into leaking boats and sinking them in the Mississippi River\n\nThe Trail of Tears\n\nThe internment of of Japanese American citizens during WWII\n\nThe lynching of black people\n\nIt's hard to determine what's the worst. I'm just ashamed that our leaders have made such fear-based, cruel decisions.
