Throughout its short life, America has had 43 Presidents. Who do you think has been the worst, and why? No just throwing out a name without a reason why

George W. Bush. He has neglected our country from day one. Look at all the problems and inflation we have now. Obviously someone was busy doing something else....(Oil man, gas prices, you do the math) Bill Clinton was almost impeached for lying about an AFFAIR!!! But Bush hasn't been brought up on charges for embellishing on their 9-11 intelligence? You know, the intelligence that this country relies on for our protection, and what we believe to be real issues... Just like LBJ, Bush stole the election. Regardless of what the people said or did, it mattered not. He walked in and took it. AND Bush lied. He was at a Confederate Rally in Texas, when he was governor, and spoke like a Texan, saying America needs to take care of America, we're not interested in the rest of the world, basically everything he said he was against, he did. People need to accept the fact that he lied to us, he wasn't a good president, and he neglected his duty to his country. When you become president, you assume that duty and responsibility of and to your country...

good day... It is a coincidence that our president is a classmate of yours. Both are also accused of cheating the election however our president is blatantly caught on tape having a conversation with her comelec official regarding the election at hand. Talk about bad luck and bad coincidence.

It's a no brainer by far George W. Bush,I think that history will show that he is until someone far worst than him come along in the near future.

At the risk of being accused of not knowing my history (which isn't true, by the way), I'm going to have to agree with those have have said our current Dimwit in Chief has to, for the moment at least, be considered the worst President. True, in part I and others are basing this on the fact that we're living through it right now but look at it this way - while there have been past Presidents who one may argue have been among the worse, the fact is our nation survived them and still managed to prosper and flourish. We have come through whatever damage our past leaders have done with flying colors. Only time will tell if that will be the case once Bush leaves office but I don't see how it could be denied that he's done some very serious and possibly irreparable damage both internationally and domestically. I wish I had a time machine to see how he'll be viewed a hundred years from now. Annie

You know you're just going to get a whole lot of people posting who know nothing about history and will simply say George W. Bush is the worst president ever. Without actively studying history people can only judge the presidents they've lived through. We've only had 2 presidents over the last 16 years and a total of 4 over the last 28 years. That's not a lot of first hand knowledge for people on these forums. Everyone assumes Kennedy is the best president ever even though he really did next to nothing for our country and almost started WW3 with the cuban missile crisis and the pathetic Bay of Pigs invasion. Who do I think was the worst ever? Probably Andrew Jackson. I think Franklin Roosevelt and him were both guilty of some of the worst attrocities in our nation, but unlike FDR, Andrew Jackson didn't do anything that was good enough to make people forget the wrongs he was guilty of.

It's up there between Andrew Jackson and George W. Bush. George W. Bush wins. They were/are both conservative blowhards, but George W. Bush also managed to drag the country into an economic pitfall, much like the previous companies he "managed".

Warren Harding was pretty bad. He did appoint some of his drinking buddies to positions in his administration and didn't seem to care that they were taking bribes from the oilmen to use public oil fields for their own interests. Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall was sent to prison for a year for his participation in the Teapot Dome scandal.
