Scarecrow Akhbar said:Beyond doubt it was Roosevelt.
He created a depression within a depression in his bumbling attempts to fix the disaster Wilson started. Yes. Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act.
Roosevelt imposed a ponzi scheme the like of which had never before been seen, and to which all workers are still yoked, Social Security.
He totally changed the relationship between the Constitution and the people, and showed the way for using the courts to bypass legislative obstruction to his socialist agenda.
Not only did Bush start the first gulf war just because Saudi Arabia thought they would be next, but he raised taxes when he promissed he wouldn't, and the economy was in recession when he left office in 1992.
It's funny that the five worst presidents were all republicans.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:The five greatest presidents go in the following order: 5. Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt help create the forest perserves and was a big environmentalist.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:4. John F. Kennedy. JFK, even though didn't serve very long as president, his visions for America were adopted my many presidents after him, and his work with civil rights was ahead of his time.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:3. Abe Lincoln. "Honest Abe" from the great state of Illinois need slavery and stood up to the South which 15 other presidents before him couldn't do.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:2. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton brought economic prosperity to America for almost a decade. He helped improve health care and was very popular with Americans as well as the rest of the world.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:1. Franklin Roosevelt. The greatest American to ever live he was president for 12 years.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:A pioneer for his time, during his presidency he got America out of a depression, organized and prepared American for the lagest war the world has ever seen.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:He also was a large part in establishing the United Nations.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:He created Social Security, Tennessee Valley Authority, and The New Deal.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:A notable mention to this list is Lyndon B. Johnson. LBJ created the Great Society, which ex panned the education system, gave poverty relief, and created Medicare amenest all other things. The reason he is not on this list is his decision on Vietnam was terrible.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:Now on to the five worst presidents: 5. Ulysses s. Grant. Grant, during his term in office looked to congress for direction and was said to not know what he is doing. he also started a very corrupt line of republican presidents known as "Grant's Cronies".
Liberal Pot Smoker said:4. Warren Harding was the most corrupt president of all-time.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:If thats not enough, he lead America into a depression.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:3. George H.W. Bush. Not only did Bush start the first gulf war just because Saudi Arabia thought they would be next,
Liberal Pot Smoker said:but he raised taxes when he promissed he wouldn't,
Liberal Pot Smoker said:and the economy was in recession when he left office in 1992.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:2. Ronald Reagan. Reagan could talk. That was it. He did nothing substantial during his two terms, and basically kicked the communist while they were down, he didn't defeat them.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:1. George W. Bush. The Mecca of all that sucks in this world there is George Bush. The most unskillful president ever, he is worse then the other presidents for the sheer fact that he harmed this world more than he has helped it. America's economy is down, we've taken a step back in equal rights, and we've broken international laws by going into a Severn country to steal their oil.
Liberal Pot Smoker said:And the U.S. is more polluted and corrupt as its been in a long time. Now with the patriot act our freedoms are taken away from us.
nkgupta80 said:sometimes raising taxes is necessary, and looking at the circumstances back then, it seemed like the right thing to do. Promises on taxes are bullshit, all presidents promise lower taxes cause thats what all the people wanna hear regardless of whats good for the economy.
Raising those taxes and the discretionary spending caps that Bush Sr. put into effect helped to build the fiscal climate that made the nineties boom possible and you will find very few economists who would disagree with that statement. It was probably the best thing Bush Sr. did for this country. Of course, having read your post above, reason is probably lost on you.:roll:Scarecrow Akhbar said:Bush had no valid reason to break that campaign promise. It was the central issue of his campaign. He was a fool.
The tax raise issue came up because of the Gulf War. The Democrats in Congress held up funding for the troops unless Bush would raise taxes. Bush, being fairly stupid, went along. All he should have done was go to the American people and explain the situation, that the Democrats in Congress were holding their sons and daughters hostage for a tax increase instead of working to cut spending in useless areas to find the money.
At a single stroke Bush would have won re-election and decimated Democrat control of the House. Raising those taxes was probably the single most stupid thing a president has done since Carter whacked the bunny.

FinnMacCool said:The Republicans back then weren't the same as the republicans now. Democrats and republicans switched roles over the years. If the republicans of yester year were like the republicans of today, all the democrats would be republicans. Thats why I think its funny when republicans think that republicans are a great party cause of him.
26 X World Champs said:Nixon had an "enemies list"made up of prominent Democrats and Liberals that he then tried to discredit, or have their taxes audited, or use "Dirty Tricks" to fool the public, he misused multiple departments of the government, he and his buddies plotted to deceive the nation and the world. There were amazing and frightening events that occurred between June 17, 1972 and August 9, 1974 when Nixon was forced to resign.
