Title: Worst President Ever
Post by: AppleNick on March 03, 2005, 05:23:54 pm
Time for a new topic. Who do you think was the worst president in the history of the United States? I'll have to think about this one, so I'll get back to this later with my answer.

This is tough...

I'll go with the 3rd term of Hoover. The reasons are unknown but I will follow up on that later

They're probably unknown because FDR's the only President that's served over two terms... XD

I'm not sure who I think the worst President ever was, but 10 bucks says one of the next 3 responses to the question will have the word "Bush" in it  :rolleyes:

Ronald Reagan?  He scared the U.S.S.R. and was one of the reasons they were forced to collaspe.  Were the only superpower in this world and Eastern Europe owes great debt to us for freeing them.  Read Pizza in Warsaw, Torte in Pargue.

Ok my opinion on the worse president ever.  Jimmy Carter.  Iran laughed at us for trying to get the hostages out of Iran.  They shut up when the found out that the U.S. would do anything to them if Regan was president so the Allyota gave up the hostages before Regan took the oath.  He also caused runaway inflation.

Ronald Reagen and George H.W. created a huge deficit, which didn't get cleared until Clinton was in office. Guess what? George W threw away all Clinton's work, and now we have a $500 billion deficit, compared to the $200 billion surplus we had with Clinton.

I mainly hate Reagen because people act like he was the greatest President in the history of forever. cmonkey, if you read this, can you post your stuff about the Iran-Contra affair?

He saved our economy.  I mean during a economic cycle the government regulated spending on what cycle were in and the FBR contolls the interest rates with the Keynes system of economics.  When Reagan took office he had to issue a tax cut and increase spending so people could go to work and spend on stuff to rebuild the economy.  The go-go 80's led to one of the fast pase economy of all time going from 900 in 1981 to over 11,000 in 2000.  Now that's amazing.  Actually George H.W. raised taxes in 1990 which led into the Clinton era.  Reagan acts likes a president because he could play the part very well (he was a movie star in the 30's and 40's).  Nuff said.

Look at the Reagen and Bush years, and then look at the Clinton era.

Bill Clinton was perhaps one of the best presidents of the 20th Century. Take away his scandals, and what are you left with? A man who helped America, only to have all his hard work put to waste by George W.

I don't care.  You mispelled Reagan, IZ.  Well FDR created a huge deficit when he tried to jump start the economy during the Great Depression and everybody says that he was one of the greatest presidents of all time.  I don't need to look at the Iran-Contra scandal, cmonkey.  I've already looked.  Reagan apologized for that and there wasn't anymore action taken against him.  So what about debt.  It'll be taken care of.

The debt shouldn't be here in the first place! I don't give two figs if Reagen apologized or not, it still makes it wrong. By your logic, I can go out and kill someone, but as long as I apologize, it's fine and dandy.

Don't you even start telling me I mispelled something. I could probably create 10 pages on your spelling errors.

A debate is an intelligent conversation. You turned it into an argument when you noticed you were losing, and stop debating.

It's all the sudden bad to say something mean (yet true) about a President? I didn't realize the Republicans had completely taken over...

On a scale from 1-10, Regan was a 10.5.  He saved the economy.  That Iran Contra thing was not a big deal, he just wanted the troops to get free.  Carter was probably the worst.  Now the economy sucked under him.  Not under Reagan, it was great under him.  Anyone who thinks Reagan was a bad president really has no knowledge of history.  He helped the economy.  It was booming under him, the Republican Revolution.  He saved the world from the Soviet Union.  That is a historical FACT.

Great on helping the nation, great on National Defense.  Reagan was the greatest presdient this nation ever had.  He made being conservative something to be proud of.  He showed the world being liberal ment spending everyone's money liberally for crap.

Are you stupid? Bill Clinton was one of the best presidents. Did you see a deficit when he came out of office? No. I don't know if anyone has heard of this lately but he gave us something called a surplus. Not many presidents know what that even mean...

He was impeached by the House, not the Senate. He didn't deserve to be impeached anyway. Clinton definitely wasn't the worst president, his affair just blemishes his terms in office in the minds of most Americans.

Nixon was not the worst President.  My grandma even got a job under one of his programs.  That Watergate thing was not a big deal.  Who gives a flip?(as doug funnie would say)  Impeach a great and effective president over stupid crap like that?  Who givees a flip about a socialist left-wing commie pig like George McGovern, who lost in the 2nd biggest landslide in history?

I disagree. The watergate scandal wasnt as big of a deal as people think because it was simply a presidential candidate trying to make sure that he didn't get screwed over again. In the election before he won his 1st term he lost to Kennedy who worked with the Mafia to get extra votes, using things such as many dead people voting for Kennedy.

The liberals hyped that up.  Nixon didn't do anything else that was wrong.  So that watercrap is the only thing that matters?  If I were Nixon i wouldn't had resigned i would had tried!!!  He was a great president!  And clinton was a crappy president!  He was an impached president, Clint.  If commiting adultry on your stupid wife and lying about it is nothing to sneeze at, than some stupid stealing from great Gorge McCrappin is nothing even to care about!!!!  Like what Clinton did wasn't a trillion times worse!!!!!

poor old clinton got his rocks off with a fatty and felt to embarresed to say anyhting about it, would YOU own up to doign the dirty with a slab like meline?

bush wasnt even voted in, it can hardly be fair when black people are made to stand for hours in the rain, at one of teh 7 booths allocated for high-black areas, while suburban whites get the other couple o hundred, or whatever it was.

people should not be put into the the most influential position of the world, just because of their religion, just cos he prays to god, doesnt make him smart, or capable, or not the most feared person int he world. hes just a glorified bully.
