It should've been Worst Presidents since The Real World 1.

Oh come on now....that's ridiculous. Everyone knows it was Abe Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.

 

[bobjustbob]

By this same token, Obama supporters that took the poll are not so happy with him now. The folks on the left need to look within just like us on the right.



And can someone from Freeones fix this fucking double and triple posting bullshit?

Don't forget Alexander Hamilton.

He showed the Russians what for after they bombed Pearl Harbor. It's a shame he was impeached after that whole White Water thing.

Alexander Hamilton?

It was Benjamin Franklin that defeated the Russians after Pearl Harbor... going up San Juan Hill as I recall! You guys really are weak on history. I tell ya that.

Shit, I stand corrected. Little known fact - Big Ben in Paris was named after Benjamin Franklin as a thank you gesture for the Statue of Liberty that we loaned them.

Ah, ah, ah....he only became president when Lincoln was assassinated by James Earl Ray in Dallas after the war was over so he technically wasn't president during the war. One of the finer points of history of which only an authority such as myself would be aware.

Benjamin Franklin was overrated. Sure, he dropped the bomb on Moscow and Pyongyang but he spent most of his time researching bifocals and prolonging erections instead of infrastructure. If he would have focused on stopping Emiliano Zapata and Che Gueverra at the Canadian border we wouldn't have the influx of frostbacks and the resulting burdens of giving them "free" shit.

Jimmy Carter was before my time but he was basically Elmer Fudd, I'm gonna get that silly wabbit but never could. lol

It's a shame folks like you hate Obama more than you love America, that's the reason for the rise of the teabagger faction that has taken over the GOP and is to blame for the do-nothing House of Representatives.


Sure, he quit trying after GOP leadership made it clear that their main priority was to make him a one term president. Compromise is a dirty word to republicans, they see it as a failure to maintain ideological purity and are proud of it. Democrats are willing to work with republicans, and at one time it was reciprocated. That's not the case any longer and you can't blame Obama for "failing" to work with congressional republicans when they've never had any intention of doing anything other than obstructing his agenda, regardless of what he's trying to do. Hey, do you remember George W. Bush's first press conference after getting re-elected where he said, "This week the voters of America set the direction of our nation for the next four years. I earned capital in the political campaign and I intend to spend it." I can't recall Obama making any statement that arrogant or divisive.

Perhaps, but there hasn't been a congress as hostile and obstructive as the 112th and 113th in our lifetimes. It's no different than If the current congress was your coworker and the boss rode your ass for the work your coworker refused to do, I doubt if you would be so quick to dismiss the responsibility of your colleague.

Never question my love of country. I hate the current government.

I am sick of hearing the media repeat the bogus line that Republicans won’t work with Obama or their Democrat colleagues in Congress. The truth is 180 degrees from this lie. While the Republican led House runs rather efficiently, even passing a steady stream of groan-inducing compromises with Democrats, the Senate is another matter entirely. The Senate is ruled by one man, not the other 99 Senators who were elected to represent their states. That man is Harry Reid, and he is a tyrant.

from Washington Times:

Harry Reid is one of 100 senators, but so far in 2014, he’s been responsible for one-third of all the amendments proposed on the Senate floor — a number that underscores just how much one man has come to dominate the legislative process.

More so than House Speaker John A. Boehner or even President Obama, it is Mr. Reid, a Nevada Democrat in his eighth year as majority leader, who has the most single-handed power to shape what gets done and what falls to the wayside in Washington.

Mr. Reid is increasingly bullish on using that power, deciding what bills make it to his chamber floor, what amendments will be allowed to those bills that do get there and whether the debate will become a serious policy discussion or a political tool designed to rally his party’s supporters and annoy his tea party opponents.

His control has been of incalculable benefit to both Mr. Obama, who is able to avoid embarrassing legislative rebukes, and to Senate Democrats, who are sometimes able to avoid having to take tough votes that could cost them the support of voters back home.

Republicans, though, attack Mr. Reid as a tyrant who is silencing their voices and those of the millions of Americans the GOP senators represent.

“It is quite disgraceful,” Sen. Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, fumed on the chamber floor earlier this year in what has become a running debate with Mr. Reid. “But it’s no surprise either, since the Democratic majority clearly ran out of ideas a long time ago. Their refusal to engage in serious debate is just another symptom of that.”

Mr. Reid counters that Republicans have gotten hung up on Senate rules rather than working on the issues he’s offered for the chamber’s agenda.

"…working on the issues he’s offered for the chamber’s agenda." Which is Harry Reid’s way of saying, "If you won’t give me what I want, I won’t let anything else get done in the Senate.

During the energy crisis in the 70's, President Carter suggested the American public wear sweaters inside their homes. Kind of like checking the air pressure in your tires to combat high gas prices. Malaise.

Nevermind that in the first 2 years of the Obama administration, the democrats had control of both houses of congress and treated the republican minority like a road bump.

And I love my country, but I've gone from fearful for it to giving up hope on it.

We're outnumbered.

The pendulum does swing back and forth but the center is shifting in the other direction.

Present-day congressional leaders like Reid, Boehner, McConnell and Pelosi are supposed to find ways to get things done. Instead, they refuse to compromise and constantly blame the other side for their refusal to act. This is the core of the problem. As Barry Goldwater so eloquently stated back in the '60s, politics is the very art of compromise. Obama's inability to be the catalyst to make things happen (after all, he's the president....the buck stops on his desk) is largely responsible for the gridlock mess we have now. Much like Carter, who was an ineffective president who had only the best of intentions, Obama seems to share the same traits. His leadership skills are lacking and his deficiencies in encouraging a spirit of cooperation and compromise between differing factions has only led to increased polarization not only between the two major parties, but within the very fabric of the American people....all this in spite of the fact that he is extremely intelligent, communicates extremely well (perhaps the greatest orator of the present generation) and is very effective at creating enthusiasm from those who so ardently follow him. Unfortunately, these positive characteristics don't translate to those who would be philosophically opposed to him and extreme outgrowths like the teaparty movement have manifested themselves in the past few years as a reactionary response. Not exactly the type of gravitation you'd like to see from the "loyal opposition".

Regardless of who is elected president in 2016, they will have a helluva problem trying to close this present divide. Obama is not the worst president since WW2 but the shame of it comes from the fact that he had the opportunity to be one of the greatest and he blew it....big time. "Yes We Can" is now "No We Didn't" and that's the real tragedy in this whole thing. He can blame whomever he wishes but the fault lies primarily with him I am afraid.

This thread is a joke and should of never been created.

First of all course Obama will be rated the worst because disgruntled people here in the great USA will say he is.

Okay.

If this was 2006, of course W would be. But W was never Prez, Cheney was!

But under who did the Wall Street Financial crisis of 2008 happen on who watch with the soon auto industry?

Both where caused on making money on debt for houses and cars by over speculation Fin guys selling people houses and cars they couldn't afford on their low then ever "American Dream" myth wages. But the suckers that got rich via commission checks after the debt sale transaction was finalized still are well off today. How the debt person payed was no concern, just that COMMISSION CHECK!
