worst president ever?

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.

Nope.  He's been a terrible President.  It's depressing to think what a truly great and brave President could have done after 9/11.  He could have united the world behind us and we could have tackled all kinds of tough problems.  Bush squandered all that with his stupid war, divisive politics and reckless budget policies.  Worst President ever?  Bottom 5 for sure!!!!!!!!!!

He was the worst President we ever had....he down sized the military, cut our budget and made Americans look bad with all the ugly chicks he was with...lol...I was in the Army for 8 years under him...he never gave us a decent pay raise, (I hate to say it but me and many other E-4 and below had to be on food stamps...great guy huh?) he took away some of the benefits that we signed up for (i.e. he took away the free dental care for our family members.) Bush was great...got some benefits back and gave us several pay raises a year...Clinton is a loser and is the main reason for 9/11...Deferment Bill never should have been elected, but stupid Poss Poirot messed that up...most of the people I served with hated him and his wife....

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.

I didn't think we'd get a worse president than Reagan in my lifetime, but W has to be the worse of all time.  I don't have enough space here to describe his crimes, incompetence, constitutional violations, arrogance, stupidity, dishonesty, greed, lack of compassion, the immense wasting of tax dollars causing incomprehensible debt, etc...

Bush the Decider is the worst President America has ever had. I thought nobody could out do Nixon, and Bush the Decider is the one.

No, I for the life of me cannot figure out anybody that does. He is the worst president ever. I voted for Kerry because I knew that Bush and his policys were wrong for America.

Rolling Stone mag just had an article by an historian\nwho considers him the worst president we ever had.\n The only consolation to that is that we've lived thru\nhistoric times.

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.

Pétain is the one for me.\nAmong the "normal" (democrat) leaders, Chirac would be quite close to be the worst. At the beginning of the 1920's, one president, Paul Deschanel, was insane. He was found... walking along a railway, in pyjama, by night, not knowing what he was doing! He was dismissed and sent to an asylum.

Ever is a big word.  Hayes was known as a bad president.  Garfield, too, I think.  My mother recalls Hoover with venom.  Nixon was tried for impeachment and branded a crook, but he had a few triumphs that washed him in the history books.  I cannot say Bush is the worst president ever, but I will say he is absolutely, the worst to surface in my 42 years of life.
