Those who voted for FDR, Bush or Obama are either hacks or ignorant of US history.
There is a clear problem which reflects on the DP membership. It shows that most DP posters have no sense of history. FDR, by no means could even be considered the worst.There is a tiny chance that Bush II and Obama might be in that league. Neither has reached objective history
I don not wish to estrange anybody unnecessarily. but without a historical perspective on historic legacies, this kind of talk is useless as regards the subject.
Perhaps the other option then, ignorant of American history.those who don't see any merits in putting FDR on the list are bigger hacks.
I don't have a problem with people disagreeing, but anybody that calls me a hack is full of ****.

I am conservative/libertarian, but my reading of American history leaves me a great deal of doubt about considering FDR as the worst president.
My argument would be history. US history is widely available in books and I imagine, the internet.How about making an actual argument instead of just calling people ignorant?

I understand that no true leaders are without legacies of failure. Historical figures must be judged relevant to their time. FDR succeeded and his legacy is secured. I find that those who attack Reagan on the left are little different in nature than those who attack FDR on the right.see post 81. I agree that the problem is largely ignorance, but we differ on who is actually ignorant here.

On my own.what criteria do you use to determine the worst?
On my own.
Eh, I'm no history buff so I'm left with those presidents in my lifetime. It's almost a tossup between Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, but since Bush had twice as long to **** things up and got us into two decades-long wars, George W. has my vote.
Given my user name, at this point I can conclusively won a bitchfest. Believe, it is no big deal.well, since you are now offering diddly and squat to respond to, does your criteria happen to be of the same quality that came up with that user name?

Good night.
