Eventually Barack Obama will join the list. He's a great speaker but awful at bringing Republicans together with Democrats, and he hates compromise. What has he actually done? Passed Obamacare, the stimulus, and a tax increase on everyone in a struggling economy. He claims to support gay rights but what has he done? Nothing. He wants to cut the deficit but he won't cut spending. He created the sequester and now blames it on everyone but himself. And all of this has happened in a just over a term. He is an ineffective president and hopefully go down in history as such.

-Obama belongs on this list and you know it.

We were once a great nation and I pray we will become one again. We need a President that truly understands the responsibility we give him as individuals and a country. We need a President that understands that a true leader listens with an open mind. We need a President that understands that the collective ideas of many no matter if they're Democrat, Republican, or an average person on the street will be better than anything that a single man can come up with in a 10 lifetimes.

Sadly, this is not what we have instead we have a man that's number one concern is his celebrity status. We have a man that believes that being president gives him invincible power. We have a man that believes he can lie and do whatever he wants (or lack of action) with no repercussions to us or our country's future. The first time he was elected I had Hope. The second time he was elected I was sickened and saddened. The man that truly belongs on this list is Barak Obama the man that doesn't understand nor deserve the position of the President of these United States of America.

This list is bogus. How can you even be counted a worst president if are too sick to do anything? And just because one isn't memorable doesn't mean on is a bad president. Come on.
