Worst President?

the only way any president can really be judged as to "worst" is with the proper historical perspective gained by... wait for it...

HISTORY

imo (and lots of others), carter was clearly the worst in recent memory

carter is proof positive that smart and well meaning =/= effective president

and let's not forget that bush won reelection by a majority

that does not bode well for the "worst president" moniker.

note also that Carter was the FIRST PRESIDENT SINCE 1932 TO LOSE REELECTION

:)

people were fed up with the guy, and rightly so...

If Carter would've traded WMD's for the hostages like Reagan did, we'd be flying into Carter International Airport. In America, doing the right thing isn't important, its using propaganda to appeal to the religious sect that'll get you good marks. Clinton's extramarital affair is far worse than Reagan and Papa Bush a)selling WMD's to whoever b) tax cuts for the rich c) enriching special interests...but as long as you cater to the religious sect, your a good guy.
 
covertibility, you're all over the map.

carter was a terrible president.

bush, while flawed has not established the kind of suckiness that carter did.

yes, bush's approval rating is abysmal. recall that not too long ago, his approval was high enough to win reelection.

these things tend to change
 
I voted for Bush..... I like Bush, ...... But Bush's second term is LAME. I am a Republican and probably will be for life..... but Bush needs to put a sock on all that appealing to the nutty religious right.

KEEP RELIGION OUT OF OUR government!! :mad:

Still... Dems cant capitalize on Bush's weakness, lol :D

I guess when your leader is Ted *hic* Kennedy and you showcase your hypocrisy by having your elder senile statesman as a former KKK member.....and your mouth piece is Air America..... the odds are not with you.

Cant wait for 08....(my superbowl) But wont shed a tear if my party loses.... they been askin for it

Carter was not a terrible president. He was pres at a difficult time and the right has worked strenuously to smear him.
