Whew!  That was pretty long to set up.  OK, pretty self explanatory.  Who was the worst U.S. President in history and why??  Any interesting facts or history to discuss about any presidents even if they weren't the one you voted worst?  Maybe you have a favorite president for a particular reason??  Well, what say you Vizzed community?

I am going to say Obama. He's downsizing our military, going around the Constitution, making deals with terrorists, and all this other stuff. he's tripled the debt, and you can't credit him for the unemployment going down... that's the employers doing. 
This man wants total control. Watch him start a war, and then put the country until martial law, and suspend elections a few months out. Technically, he could legally do that, and get away with it. And I would not put it past him either.

I'm also going to say Obama, but it only has to do with the debt. I read somewhere that all the debt gained during his time was either the full amount or almost the full amount of all the total debts combined before he came into office. I'm ok with him for everything else except that one thing.

I would say Obama, for similar reasons to thing1... Downsizing the military at a time like this is a terrible call. Not to mention, Benghazi. I also do not like the debt rate that is doubling and trippling in times way too short. And, where is that money going? 

DestinyHeroDC : Herbert Hoover did much more than people think about, but at least he didn't create artificial jobs. Like digging a hole, and having people behind them fill it up. (Thanks Franklin D. Roosevelt.) 

Socialism/ helping people's finance isn't the governments job. That's the people's job, charity, banks, etc.

I don't know much about the presidents before the 20th century, but after 1900 I don't think any president could qualify as "good".

Roosevelt 1 created the National Park Services (you know, perpetually losing money of tourism)
Wilson created the Fed and federal income tax became a reality under his reign. He also created the World War II mess by engaging U.S. troops in the war
Harding was able to keep a hands-off approach during the 1920 recession but created the Jones Act which makes things so expensive in Hawaii and Alaska - they can only receive foreign good once they've been transferred to US ships having a US crew.
Coolidge did nothing to stop the Fed bubble in the 1920s and the closing of foreign trade
Hoover worsened the recession by engaging in Keynesianism before it had a name
Roosevelt 2 has economic policies envied by the fascists, he ended the civil gold standard, he imprisoned thousands of people of Japanese descent, he created social security and a host of other bottomless pits
Truman initiated the worst terrorist acts in history by nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Eisenhower believed the federal God State was the only one that could build highways - he based his model on the Nazi's autobahn system.
Kennedy started the Vietnam mess
Johnson created Medicare, Medicaid, the Civil Rights Act, worsened Vietnam, started the failed War on Poverty...
Nixon finalized the separation gold-dollar and initiated a decade of hyperinflation. He also started the War on Drugs as part of his southern strategy
Ford pardoned Nixon, keeping him away from a criminal indictment
Carter  did nothing to stop the hyperinflation and started the idiotic renewable energy madness
Reagan tripled the deficit, sold weapons and made the War on Drugs worse
Bush 1 rose taxes
Clinton (1?) started inflating the housing bubble while doing nothing on the dotcom one
Bush 2 got the country in two useless wars, did nothing to stop the housing bubble and bailed out incompetent banks
Obama furthered Bush 2's failed policies, doubled the nominal debt, imprisoned more whistleblowers than anyone, droned more than anyone else and has generally been an enemy of everyone.

If it has to boil down to one, then it's FDR. Unless Obama can mess even more, no other president worked so hard to cripple the economy than FDR. We're still stuck with programs from his era that still hinder us: FDIC, Social Security, NLRB, Mae (Mac?)...

zanderlex : It's true he has added to the debt, but he inherited a massive debt from his predecessor George Bush.

In my opinion, George Bush was the worst president to ever take office. People forget it was him who caused most of these colossal debts in the U.S. He doubled the debt from 5.6 trillion to to 10.6 trillion during the 8 years in office. He cut taxes for the rich and increased spending to extremes. Not to mention he orchestrated the invasion of Iraq, an elaborate hoax, costing 2 trillion dollars and the death of many Americans. People are quick to blame Obama simply because he is the most recent President and therefore its easier to recognize the mistakes he has made. If you do your research you'll find out he really isn't that bad compared to other presidents. America spends more on defense than the top 20 or so countries combined. To combat debt a cut to defense must be made. George Bush caused the financial crises of 2008 and the recession, resulting in the housing collapse.. there are so many reasons why this clown is the worst president ever (in my opinion of-course)

Deank2k13: That's also true but there's a difference between inheriting a debt and making your own debt that's even bigger than the one you inherits.

Dean2k13: Hum... even by factoring in inflation 5.6 is not half of 10.6.

The tax cut was actually a good thing but it WASN'T coupled with spending decrease which indeed was a terrible idea. And the war in Iraq was indeed another terrible idea, creating a huge vacuum and the present instability in the region.

Also, while Obama did inherit a mess, he poured oil on the fire rather than water. He is actually
worse than Bush too, and we're only starting to evaluate the mess he left in healthcare

I'm surprised we haven't had anyone vote for Warren Harding.  While I'm not vehemently anti-harding, I am opposed to the era of boss rule and rampant corruption that followed the Harding administration. A lot of Harding's most important associates were known as his "Henchmen."  Many of the laws passed were unpopular.  Add to it political scandal over possible extra-marital affairs, and we have something that makes Monica Lewinsky pale in comparison. 

Many polls about "Worst president" often contain recent presidents (as shown by this poll), which is understandable, since the positive and negative effects of recent terms such as Obama and Bush really pervade our lives.  Harding, however, has been consistently ranked near or at the bottom of nearly every scholarly list- not just the ones taken in the years following his own presidency. 

So, I'll keep my vote with Warren

I have been around since the Clinton era, and since then, the Presidents have been worse since the last because all the policies they promise to give to the United States, but they all turned out flat lies.

To further explain on janus's discussion, Clinton did try to make some peace in the Middle East, but however in the homeland, he did started to give out signs to the late 2000's Recession, but we didn't start getting the affects of it till the Bush Jr. era, oh, also, don't forget about Clinton's impeachment in 1998.

If we though Clinton was bad, then Bush Jr came into the picture. and not even a year into Bush Jr's Presidency, we had the September 11th attacks in 2001, and I know Bush Jr wanted revenge against those terrorists that were responsible for those attacks, but starting up 2 pointless wars was the downfall of his presidency, Everyone just wanted to capture all of those who are responsible including Bin Laden, but starting 2 wars isn't worth it. Plus also, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 also had major affects into Bush Jr's presidency as well, and from a person living in New Orleans, Louisiana, I had a lot of people say that Bush didn't lift a finger about helping anyone in the entire city and had to fend on their own, and I still have seen all the damages and effects that Katrina caused to this day, so, we are still cleaning up after nearly a decade since the hurricane. We all were mad at Bush, we just couldn't wait till January 20th, 2009 to see Bush finally leave.

But Obama got even worse after Bush Jr. Obama has further the National Dept to unbelievable levels. Ok, I give him credit that he was President during the time Bin Laden was killed, but it's at a point that he has taken all the credit onto his killing which has made some people a little mad, especially the people that really killed him. And the whole spying issue, it's out of control, I know they want to prevent another September 11th, but it's at a point that it's out of control. Obama mostly wanted to run the country the way he wants and not what the people wants.

So, for the worse president, it is tied between Bush Jr and Obama, Bush Jr because of starting 2 pointless wars and Hurricane Katrina, Obama for everything else, really. So, both president were horrible and it's at a point, I'm afraid on what happens in 2016 on who we vote for the next president.

As a none U.S. citizen, who am I to say but for once I get to vote for the good old George the Morron "W".

Kefka :

William Henry Harrison was only in office 32 days. He got elected, gave a 3 hour (or so) speech in the freezing cold, got pneumonia, and died. He is, undoubtedly, the worst president. He is only known for dying 32 days after inauguration.

Txgangsta : Then that would actually make him the best president ever; he didn't trample our liberties.

Dfsg : I guess it DOES overshadow his great handling of the 1920 Depression. He seems to be a forgotten president

IgorBird122 : Part of Katrina can be blamed on Clinton (and probably his predecessors too) because the levees had been grossly neglected. There even was a simulation like 2-3 years before Katrina (Hurricane Pam) that said the levees couldn't handle an F3 hurricane.

As for his wars: many claim - I don't know how substantiated it is - that the U.S. had many occasions to capture Bin Laden, even before 9/11. That person was yet another ally-turn-foe - the CIA financed him and his buddies to repel Soviets invaders.

Finally, I have yet to see proof on how Big Brother was able to stop ONE terrorist attack or even ONE terrorist at TSA checkpoints.

Wow...goodness gracious. The results of this poll so far has been very ignorant to US history as a whole. The title says the "worst president in history", so I'm assuming "in all of US history." So far, the majority of the decision and the votes are between the last two presidents, which I know there are far more presidents before them that are considered worse than them. Literally there was a time period that there are a series of really bad presidents with their decisions or their ability to lead, yet only one of them so far received only 1 vote.

Yes, I know some people may be arguing that Bush and Obama are the worst to the point that they should be impeached, but there were two presidents before him who actually got impeached (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton). There are some who died in office before they can even do anything (Harrison, Taylor, and Garfield), and then you have some who showed they can't even lead a nation, indecisive, or didn't take a stand on an issue, wanting to please everyone, and remain status quo. To not even get a vote for James Buchanan, which to many historians and nationally set polls consider him to be the worst or one of the worst presidents make this poll look silly. 

I highly recommend people to at least have a general understanding of the history of presidents before saying who is the worst. There is a dated but still solid video series by the History Channel called "The Presidents" that gives a balanced and general information of all the presidents.

It's hard for me to pick the worst right now, but the names that comes into mind right now are either
Andrew Johnson (acted the opposite of Abraham Lincoln and on his own prejudices, causing the impreachment), Franklin Pierce (didn't take up the lead and allowed the Kansa-Nebraska Act mess to go on) or James Buchanan (did nothing when the secession happened). I would put Harding in here as well but I feel that there is not enough time given to him to create his legacy after his short presidency and is covered by all the scandals that showed up after his death.

After Kennedy all your presidents have been either morons, sex fiends or just plain ignorant and evil supervillains. Take your pick. Oh wait. Did I say before Kennedy? Who was before him? Oh well ummm... before Kennedy. Yeah.

play4fun : Fair point. But unfortunately people tend to focus on THEIR experience rather than history as a whole. Our parents/grandparents would surely have a different opinion.

What you wrote proved to be very informative. I didn't know there actually WAS an impeachment. But who WAS the second one? Clinton didn't get the boot...

As for Buchanan... Vermont and Mass. did threatened to leave the union and no one made a fuss about it because it was their right to do so. Until the 13th and 14th amendment the U.S. was a very decentralized federation, with its ups and downs. The 14th amendment finally bounded the states to the Bill of Rights but also started the era of an exponentially growing central government.

No, I'm not supporting slavery and it was the right thing to abolish it. But did it deserve the violation of everyone's rights with the suspension of habeas corpus? Besides Lincoln only wanted to keep the country as one; he even had plans to deport Blacks.

janus : That is why I said that the result of the poll so far is an ignorant one. The poll clearly states "worst US president in history". not "worst president in your experience." Your life is not all of history. The informed response is to actually go do some research and really look at the overall list before voting. 

Impeachment just means that the official was accused of a crime and was brought under trial. No one got fired for the impeachment. Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice for the sexual harassment suit. Andrew Johnson was impeached due to firing a cabinet member without the consent of the Senate under the Tenure of Office Act.
