Worst Presidents: Warren Harding (1921-1923)
Reader Comments
Remembering History
Wasn't Harding the one right around that time who, according to some historians, liked little boys?
Warren Harding and the Klan
There is no factual evidence supporting that Harding was ever sworn in with the Klan in the Oval Office or had any ties at all with the Klan.
I do know for a fact that Harding was the first American President to publicly denounce lynching and did so in a landmark 21 October 1921 speech in Birmingham, Alabama. This was covered in the National Press. Harding also vigorously supported an anti-lynching bill in Congress during his term in the White House. While the bill was defeated in the Senate, such activities would be in direct conflict with Klan membership.
Harding is the worst
You forgot to mention that he was sworn in as a member of the Klu Klux Klan in the Oval Office. That he signed into a law a tariff that was a big part of the reason for the Great Depression.
Woods Pt 2
Yes, adding to the Woods comment, perhaps it was Harding's ineptitude that kept him from doing anything during the early Depression of the '20s, which turned out to be the perfect solution to ending it soon, unlike Roosevelt, who made it worse, and kept it going decades longer than it should have. He'll be on this list in time. Perhaps Obama as well. (Disclaimer: I'm Canadian, and I don't vote or favor a single party, except my own, on my birthday).
Warren Harding
I think Warren Harding was one of the worst Presidents because he hired cronies rather than experienced people. He was too busy gambling & fooling around with other women to look after the country that just just coming out of a devastating war.who knows what kind of President he would have been had he lived to serve out his term.
I'm beginning to think...
that George W. is the reincarnation of Harding. He pretty much let his cronies plunder the treasury via fat tax breaks and no-bid contracts while he spend a third of his regime on vacation. He thinks that history will vindicate him as well. Has hell begun to freeze yet?
Thomas Woods
Ever heard of Thomas Woods? Well he puts out an effort to defend Warren G Harding successfully and trounce this list. Check it out on youtube for free on misesmedia.
