Stupid has a President and his name is OBAMA, you are clueless, you need an education obviously on the facts. Stop drinking the koolaide. It really amazes me how ignorant liberals are. Their choice of a JACKASS as their National symbol is so fitting it's hilarious. The top 1% or 2% whatever you DUMMYCRATS want to call it, is such a myth, but what can you expect from such simple minded people. If Obama told you that every inner city in this country was safe you idiots would believe him and walk down an unlit street with a wad of cash in your hand, or drive a car with some bling rims on it in there and leave the keys in the ignition, and then when you got raped robbed or murdered by these welfare scum you would blame Romney. Educate yourself.

U.S. News has absoloutely no credibility when it comes to this issue, it's a left leaning organization, and it's obvious by putting Obama among the best. Obama is factually in the bottom 5 worst Presidents of all. Your qualafications given to these Presidents makes no sense. You have dead President among the worst and one who served just over 1 Month in Office, you can't rate that you morons. Credible ratings would not even consider these President as there is nothing to rate them on, they must serve at least 2 years of their term. You people are MORONS, thats why no one buys your product and no one watches NBC. FOX News has triple the ratings NBC has and there is a reason for that. LEFT WING Opinion. Take Note you imbiciles.

@JOHN
Do you actually believe that? He has helped hugely, he saved a large portion of the car industry, brought out obama care and brought back the 401k. He is trying to get the countries people working again. Romney would just prefer to just increase the upper classes income.

Look at this chart. Before Reagen there was very little debt. George H. W. Bush help. In his four years he did what it took Reagan 5 1/2 years (ish). He could have slowed it more. He didn't change any policies. Bill Clinton then stepped into office. He did slightly better than Bush, which is funny since the policies that Reagan put in were now between 12-4 years old. It makes it harder to remove them. Also because the debt is higher it creates larger rates of interest.
Then George W. Bush takes his seat in the Oval office. He made it a lot worse. He added 42% in his eight years. Nearly half of the debt in the history of the US came up during his 2 terms. Sure he had all that interest that was now pushing on him harder than any president before him. But then look how Obama handles it, he reduces the increase per term by 5% even though he has even more debt on him than Bush did. He has done a lot to put America back on the road to recovery. He has had the difficulty of being the first african american president, having well built in policies that enforce borrowing that some of which are 28 years old. Now you see how all the previous big debt increases were republican businessmen? What is romney? Why do people think he will help the problem and not just make it worse?

The republican party has no idea what they are doing. First Bush (father-son) combo knocked out America, now we have Romney who will finish America off for good. Americans should see through Romney, he is doing this for the benefit of him and his rich friends. Every man for himself, he does not car for the middle class or the country.
Romney wanted GM and Chrysler out of business asap. Obama saved it and by doing so kept millions of jobs intact. Now Romney has seen the potential GM and Chrysler are showing and suddenly flip flopped to 'I will not let Michigan go out of business'. Romney is not a leader and does not inspire the country, he does not care about his own American car companies and is not a patriot. Romney also wants to destroy Obamacare/ Medicare etc. and bring in more stamps and vouchers. 401k is actually back up and kicking thanks to Obama. A country which was in free fall is trying to stabilize itself now, but all the republicans can do is block the attempts by the democrats and only work against the countries best interest. Spend trillions on military, cut taxes for the rich, destroy the middle class- wait thats exactly George W Bush did.
This is a no brainer: OBAMA 2012

Obama is the worse in recent times. .with 4 years in office and nothing to show for it, but another 4.7 Trillion in debt. It goes to show that someone like Obama without any political knowledge can surely hurt a country.

Bush is by far the worst president ever. He caused 9/11 by ignoring Al queda and intelligence reports, he caused two wars, he created the worst recession since the great depression and only missed causing the great depression II by swift action by Obama. He sent the nation plummeting into economic disaster by unfunded programs and rich person's tax cuts. He brought the US to the level of dictators we despise by torturing prisoners. He created the Bush doctrine of preemptive war that scares our allies. He appointed John Roberts Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and justice Alito to the Court so that Corporations can now control American politics. He set the country on fire so that it was burning brightly on January 20, 2009. All we have now is another arsonist Republican claiming it is his turn to light the fire.
