Top 5 WORST U.S. Presidents

Hoot Gibson Wrote:Post your own list if you think Bush belongs on it. Bush had his flaws but he did not disrespect our allies and appease our enemies. If you take time to look at projected budget deficits and compare them with those of Bush, then maybe you will understand how much damage Obama has done is such a short time.

If Obama does not change course soon, the US will lose its AAA bond rating before the end of his first term. If that happens, then you can expect inflation to take off soon afterward because it will become impossible to borrow money to cover our debts without paying a much higher interest rates on government bonds.

If you look at my list, you will notice that I did not include Jimmy Carter on it either. Before Obama, Carter was absolutely the worst president of my lifetime. Bush was not even close. I would have included Nixon and Ford on the list before Bush. Both were horrible presidents, IMO, but Ford did not serve a full term and he did nowhere as much damage as Obama has done.

Nixon did a lot of damage, but he (like Ford) was constrained by a Democrat-controlled House and Senate. Nixon governed like a liberal, and even imposed wage and price controls to try to slow inflation. Obama has no constraints on him with Pelosi and Reid setting the agenda in Congress and that is how he has done so much damage in such a short time.

Now, where is your list?

Only one comment I would say on Bush, on appeasing our enemies. He just wasted, all of the time he was in office spending the money on the wrong enemy, knowing it was nothing to do with Hussein. Clinton left office telling him Obama was a threat and needed to be dealt with. Hussein put a hit out on his father, and that was more important to him. Cheney ran that show, and you saw where that got us. Bush couldn't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Jeb was the only other Bush that needed to see the White House.
