    Big Mike's girlfriend. He was in the news a decade or so ago about haw an illegal alien could make good in American politics without having done a single thing outside of flapping his gums about how terrible it was to be living in America.

    Well, he drank some beer. Caused race relations to take a giant step backwards. Oh, and pushed a medical insurance bill thru Congress, that accomplished two stunning things at once:
    1. it offered pathetic coverage, at high prices, to people who normally couldn't get insurance
    2. it dragged down the coverage of many more people's insurance, to the point where it barely met the minimums described under the new law, while NOT dropping the cost of that insurance.

    I was of the latter group. What had been some pretty good medical insurance coverage dropped down to the bare minimum, and the cost of my insurance went up 11%. Gee, thanks, Barry!! :mad:

    Caused a lot of division. And Obamacare was so awesome, my premiums went up from about $1,600 to almost $3,000/mo. Because it was going to be cheaper for everyone. And I wasn't even on the Obamacare plan. Those folks got a worse deal, I think. Absolutely insane.

    I can't even get Obummers care, our states busted, and no matter what I tried, it just doesn't work! This state spent 11 million dollars to set up the system failed and charged the state even more to "Fix" it, and didn't! I get to pay the fine every year, despite showing the IRS that it's impossible to get signed up, and the VA is no help, as it's "Required" so I filed suit against the Gov'ness and the State as well as the OHA, so when I win, I'm going to really stick it to them!

    He was the worst president this country has ever had, and I thought the 'trophy' would be retired.
    Then along came 2020, and BOOM! a new candidate has arrived. He makes 0bama look like Thomas Jefferson.

    Before Zero the hero, the worst one in my opinion was the peanut farmer / nooklar expert from GA.
    In fairness, I believe the peanut farmer actually loved the country, he just had lousy ideas. Zero hates this country and everything about it. So does his husband.
    The current vegetable doesn't bother to think at all, he just does what's on the cards in front of him. And collect 10% of course.

    Can't think of anything that Obama did that was good for me or the country, except that he ordered the killing of OBL, which required more balls than I gave him credit for! Same with Biden, nada, except that he did order the killing of al-Zawahri...if not Biden, then somebody did the deed, and for that I thank them!

    I would argue neither Barry or Joe are the worst, though I would put them in the top 10, maybe even top 5 or 6 and I might move them up over time.
    I judge the worst presidents based upon the cumulative damage their reign has imposed on the country so far. My top three would, in no particular order, be Woodrow Wilson, FDR and LBJ. Fourth would probably be Nixon.

    Wilson was a raging racist who segregated the federal gov and gave us the income tax, then massive tax increases after it was sold as only being 2-3% on the rich and the direct election of senators. To be far, the states participated in this but Wilson likely could have scuttled it but instead pushed for it. These two things set the stage for the bloat of the fed gov and severely damaged the concept of federalism thus shifting much power from the states to the central gov.

    FDR campaigned on the notion of revoking many of Hoover’s policies only to embrace them and expand them once in power. While popular, forensic economists clearly established he significantly lengthened by many years and deepened the Great Depression. Worse were his socialistic tendencies. Mussolini figured him as a fascist and wrote Hitler that FDR was one of them and they should bring him into the fold. To his credit FDR rejected them but still wanted to create a massive central government controlled economy. Many of his policies were ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS and he got into a battle with the Court. He pushed and almost got passed legislation to expand and pack the SCOTUS. Fortunately a few in congress got cold feet and backed off support defeating the legislation. Also to save the institution of the Court, a few justices retired allowing FDR to then put leftist on the Court. They subsequently gave us Wickard vs Filburn several years later which has been one of the worst Court decisions ever, unleashing the unchecked expansion of fed gov power fueled with nearly unlimited funding via the 16th amendment and states more unable to stop it because of the 17th amendment. We still feel the pain of FDR daily.

    Then we got LBJ. The Great Society has been devastating to lower income folks and especially blacks. Poverty had been on an almost linear decline since the turn of the century then came LBJ’s war on poverty. The decline flatlined at about 15% where it has hovered ever since. We have spent over $20 trillion with little good to show for it. Out of wedlock birth’s soared. In 1960 black out of wedlock births were about 20% and by 2020 they are 75% and upto 90% in many urban areas. But that wasn’t enough. There were many benefits that were only available to single mothers with no man in the picture. There used to even be surprise inspections at welfare recipients’ homes to make sure the mom didn’t have a man in the house or else loose the welfare checks. Millions of young women ended up married to the gov. So we got generations of kids growing up with no father figure which has been a huge factor in the growth of gangs.

    Nixon is simple. He took us off the gold standard. An out of control Fed accountable to virtually no one and inflation ensued. Say no more.

    Obama and the democrats fucked up our heath care and set race relations back 30-40 years and thousands of black and hispanic kids growing up being told they can’t possibly ever excel and be successful because of their skin. How racist and evil is that? But still, it remains to be seen if he can catch up to the damage Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Nixon have caused in all the years following their tenures.

    Joe is a huge embarrassment and buffoon. He has tremendously damaged our military and national reputation but most of that could be repaired by the right president. He has damaged us economically but we can recover, albeit with some remaining scars. The damage to our election systems and changing of the electorate due to a potential influx of democrat voters if the illegals get amnesty remains to be seen and might move Joe into one of the top 3 worst.

    The damage of WW, FDR, LBJ and to a lessor degree RMN has been and continues to be massive and unrepairable. The bureaucracy put in place is so massive and self-protective it can never be reasonably reined back in, let alone to 1910 levels. So Joe has tough acts to follow if he is to be the worst ever.

    I would agree with this list, if not in order, in inclusion! I still say FDR was the very Worst, followed closely by the O'l Rough Rider hisself, then Wilson and LBJ, and Johnson, and lastly the Peanut Farmie! Pedo might be super bad, but his deeds as a second level political hack have done far worse then his presidency, time will tell the tail, if he lives long enough! Obummer makes the list, the top secret shit he pulled is yet to be fully uncovered, but after the others laid the gound work, he was the tool to put it all in place! Making a full police state is one of the biggies, and we are going to be feeling that for a long time to come!

    Agree with all except the Bush's. Bush Sr was a very corrupt CIA director and directly involved in the JFK assassination and the Reagan assassination attempt. Look up the Parrot letter.
    The Parrott Memo - Wikispooks

    Bush's were also directly involved in 9/11. They had the Bin Laden family over for dinner the night of 9/11. Then they flew them home safely to Saudi Arabia. Long family ties between the Bush's and the Bin Ladens.

    Trump... Definitely!

    Trump may be the best president since Washington.

    I love the South. I had the misfortune of being born in Massachusetts. Haven't gotten around to leaving, but would really like to. I'm eyeing Kentucky.
