Presidents
Have you all observed kids playing soccer or baseball, especially the younger ones that want to learn and get better in the sport. It is so pure and innocent. What about the parents that mean well, but get too involved and banter with each other, mostly verbally....These comments appear that way. We sit here and judge how badly a president did right from the comfort of our homes or even, stealing time from the company we work for as I am.....to write our comments. And we have the right to judge a volunteer on how he attempts to lead this country. SHAME ON ALL OF US!!! Instead of commenting and complaining about what's wrong and what we think is right, what about contributing to a better USA and a better world. All this verbal abuse and fighting isn't going to solve anything. Start some movements that would better our situation...Aren't you all tired of hearing all of this abuse? What about concentrating on at least one thing good that each president has done. Our ship is sinking and we are just standing around arguing. And the ship will continue to sink, at this rate. It is up to us to determine how much we can stomach before we do something to improve. So start by sending some better positive energy to help your brothers and sisters, and of course you too.
10 Worst Presidents
Your list contains all of the usual suspects. I believe that we should evaluate every president with respect to the context in which he operated. It is unfair to include W.H.Harrison in the listing if for no other reason than that he died soon after taking office. He had no time to do things that would justify calling him a failure. The worst president in my lifetime (77 years)is George W. Bush. He led us, through deception, into a costly war from which the outcome is not yet clear. In a few years he pretty well destroyed the international good will that the U.S. built up through WWII,leadership in founding the UN and NATO winning the Cold War, foreign aid, etc. Only Buchanan did more damage.
Remembering W
Remaking history. W had an abysmal approval rating prior to 911.In my lifetime of 60 years he was by far the worst. Interesting to note J.Carter only got votes from the WSJ. Guess that shows you something about the impartiality of that rag.
W;s lies
You Bushies like to say he made us safe. How? Bylying us into a war for no reason? Wake up. There were no WMDs and he knew it. There was no participation in 9/11. And he failed in Tora Bora.
He has weakened the military in both personnel and equipment.If Obama or Clinton had been in office They would have done the right thing because they are both intellegent and capable men. W is neither. He never succeded at anything in his life. Unless you count being a black-out drunk as an accomplishment.
When Tex. Gov. he stayed in Crawford and let Bob Bullock the Lt. Gov. run the show. He stayed there drunk.
Pay attention to the Pentagon reports and the FBI and CIA. No Iraqui involvment in 9/11. No WMDs. But over 4,280 deaths due to his lies. He shouldn't just be on the list of worst presidents. He should be incarcerated
Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter,The most inept President of my lifetime.
Should be in the top 5 worst ever and now days he should be up for a firing squad the way he go's all over this world and does nothing but speak badly of the USA. On the other hand Richard Nixon Should Not be on this list at all !
Nixon did more for this countries foreign relations than and President EVER ! I am so tired of people who have never read a history book shouting at the top of the lungs about things that they have no idea about.Yes Mr Nixon had bad judgment on Watergate but you cannot write off all of his accomplishments for the water gate incident !
W
You all are a bunch of idiots where is Bill Clinton he sold our country out more than once selling top classified secrets to China and god only knows to who else. He was the biggest crook who ever sit in the seat of the presidency, I find it offensive that anyone in the USA can criticize George W Bush, Lets remember history the way it happened not the way you left wing idiots want it. W did a good Job as president and had a very high approval rating and then 9/11/2001 happened and He and his administration had to take action and action they took and in case you haven't noticed we are safe and have been safe for quite a while now. Thank God Mr Bush was in the White house on that tragic day, If Obama or Clinton would have been in office there would have been more terrorist acts in this country because the only thing Clinton was tough on is his secretaries skirts and Obama is very tough on is making our nation weaker and it has only been 100 days in office and we are already weaker than we were the last day of the Bush administration. I am very proud of George W Bush and again I am very thankful for his great leadership ! . Everyone seems to forget that Since Pearl harbor Bush was the only president to be in office when America was attacked Things changed and he had to do things to protect us all.
God Bless you President Bush !
Check the date, people
It is too bad a lot of the comment writers here don't notice that the article is dated from 2007. Too soon to judge the then-current president, the article says.

One of the worst is absent from your list. I cannot believe that George Bush did not make the top 5. Your poll is open to great suspect.
