The question who is, not who was.IF you want who was then I would have to say it was Moses.\nThe worst is Omar al-Bashir Dictator of Sudan\nHis ethnic and religious clensing has killed 180,000 civilians and left 2 million people homeless when his troups burned villages in Darfur.

England has Chamberlain in the 1930's, he was the one that declared peace in our time after making deals with Hitler. England let its guard down arfter being led into a false peace. \n\nChamberlain was the worst UK Prime Minister ever....even the English will tell you that.\n\nWarren Harding and Herbert Hoover were the worst US presidents ever.\n\nHarding and his cabinet was very corrupt(the Teapot dome scandal). Hoover did little to ease the pain of the depression.

Worst President in Americas History. I am sure there will be several chapters about George Bush in the Civics books just like the criminal Nixon.

He is far worse than most. Look at his record.

A great president? This piece of human garbage is by far the worst president this country has ever seen or ever will see. He is amongst other things a war criminal, a mass murderer, a thief, a traitor, a deserter, a liar, a moron, a drunk, a coke addict, an illiterate and an abject failure. He is quite literally the scum of th earth and I despise him, richly and deservedly.\n\nI am actually less concerned with his relative popularity (too many of the American electorate change with the prevailing wind, as demonstrated in November 2004) as with his ultimate place in history. I want this vermin impeached and disgraced by being forcibly removed from office. I want all future history texts to refer to him as the worst and most harmful president this republic has ever known. I want him brought up for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity before the World Court in the Hague and taken away in shackles to serve a life sentence. And I want all of his blindly devoted "true believer" supporters -- even those craven enough to abandon him now as he begins his long-awaited descent -- to burn in hell right along with their hero.\n\nAmen. ;)

You write that "anyone who says [the current president] is the worst president ever has ... never studied any history." Well, strangely, following your logic, it seems a lot of historians have "never studied history." Many historians now believe that GW Bush is "perhaps the worst president in the nation's history." (You can contact me and I will tell you where to get this authoritative information online.)\n\nI would never vote for a person like GW Bush. I am very liberal and refused to vote for Clinton also because Clinton was, I believed, a slick rhetorician, a prevaricator, an ambitious opportunist, and a sophist. I turned to the Green Party in 2000. \nFor three years I tried to be careful in the phrasing of my apprasal of the current president. I would say, "I honestly think he is one of the worst presidents ever." But in 2004 I came to believe that he was actually THE WORST (my reasons are too much to detail here). \n\nIt is important to remember that thousands of Americans being slaughtered in Iraq, a burgeoning national debt and grossly unbalanced federal budget, and failing to catch Osama bin Laden were not the historical reasons that Bush lost favor with the American electorate. It was the Katrina diaster (not the "disaster" that was the hurricane, but the disaster that was the federal response to the hurricane). Only then did people begin to realize just how incompetent their commander in chief really was. Only then!\n\nBy the way, you mention Reagan and his "trickle down" economic philosophy. GW Bush's father derisively called it "Voodoo economics," and the country's leading economists at the time said it was an unsound, misguided policy. The current president has done the very same thing: give trillions of dollars to middle and upper class people. It is both sad and fascinating historically to watch this play out. How can he get away with a plan to essentially mortgage the nation and place the debt on Amercan children (as it is they who will pay the taxes to finance this windfall for the wealthy)? The Republicans had a lot of money, but it is pure genius to use the tax money itself, and thus you can buy votes; just tell people that you'll give them huge tax rebates, and you'll get millions of votes that way. Who wouldn't like to pay $4,000.00 less in taxes each year? (The rich taxpayers got a lot more than $4,000 apiece of course, starting in 2001.). \n\nHere is something you've perhaps never given any thought to: Clinton (astoundingly) balanced the federal budget before he left office. This was remarkable, fantastic, unbelievable (as it had been grossly unbalanced by his predecessors, Reagan and Bush Sr.). So, in 2000 there was a small surplus. That "surplus" should have gone, of course, to pay down the enormous federal debt that stood then at over $5 trillion. Now, only six years later, the debt is approaching $8 trillion. And there is one lone guy in this whole universe who is responsible for this situation. I don't have to tell you his name. You know it. \n\nAlso, just for your information, some historians do not believe that Abraham Lincoln was the best of all the presidents. However, I do, and the consensus among historians collectively is that Lincoln WAS the greatest of all the presidents. Lincoln was a Republican, but do not confuse this with the Republicanism of today. The political dynamic changed dramatically during the Great Depression (with FDR). The Republican politics of today to not resemble the Republican politics of 160 years ago. \n\nRead more. Search online for reputable Universities and history organizations that are not political but professional. There you will find frank apprasals of the current president. (Many conservatives discount these views of scholars however because it is well known that scholars (intellectuals) tend to be politically liberal. - which should not surprise;

Yes Bush is very bad, sure Nixon was involved in planning a robbery, but both of these men are not the worst.  Andrew Jackson was the worst President in our history, after all his policy of genoside against the American Indians solidifies his standing as the worst.  Of modern Presidents Humphrey did enable the Great Depression, sure his conservative fiscal policy plunged the world into a depression, but you still think Bush is the worst!\n\nI am a hard line liberal, I can't stand Bush, but I will give him credit for not being the worst of all time, the worst in the last 70 years, still no thanks to trick Dick.  So Bush gets forth worst over all.  You never know, we could get stuck with Pataki, who just might do nothing at all and lull the country to death.

right, George W. Bush is one of the worst presidents the United States of America has ever had. But as they always say, people get what they deserve.

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...

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.

Many historians think that he's the worst in SOME AREAS.  For instance, his handling of the environment has been deemed the worst, and that even George Washington had more regard for the environment.  His tax policies that benefit mostly the rich are also extreme, in that they make Nixon look like a flaming liberal.  I think he has mis-handled the war in Iraq, but we also had Vietnam in recent history.  It is all a matter of opinion, and my opinion is that he definitely isn't the BEST president we've ever had.  And one can truly make the argument that he was put there by his peers so they (Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, etc) could run the country.  I actually feel pretty sorry for him, because I think he's just a simple guy that got in too deep.
