I'm sorry, but what an idiot.

My vote is split between LBJ and JFK. Its hard not to pull the Jimmy Carter lever but he does not have the blood spilled in Nam on his watch.

 

True, but I still think the pre-Civil War presidents were worse, mostly because I think secession was a such a terrible thing for the country.

Bush might be the worst as far as international relations go.

 

No, but he does have Iran and the oil crisis on his watch. Like Bush the elder, Carter has been much better post-presidency then he was while in the White House.

 

And Hoover is Bush's domestic equivalent.

 

So Clinton was the worst president morally, then, right?

(I'm actually a big fan of Clinton as President, but tha'ts the logic working here)

 

LBJ, JFK and Carter don't even come close to worst ever when you're talking Fredo.

I mean, this guy is indescribably incompetent.

Next election I doubt Americans will vote for a guy "they'd like to have a beer with".

 

It's as hard thing to judge. It depends how you define moral.
Was it moral for LBJ to continue a war that he knew could not be won?

I think you are being too hard on Clinton. Next to JFK he looks like Billy Graham .

 

That was actually half sarcastic. You're right, though. Next to JFK, Clinton looks like Graham.

 

Sorry I had not seen Clinton mentioned anywhere prior to your post so I did not recognize the sarcasm. We do have that blue ink that anyone can use to denote sarcasm.

 

JFK was trying to get out of Nam and that's one of the reasons he got assassinated.

LBJ watched JFK's head explode on a Dallas street and got the message to forge ahead or he was next.

Carter--well you did have some god awful inflation--hey kiddos--try buying a home with a 12-15% mortgage rate--but some of that was Ford's right?

The pre Civil War slavery and states rights issues were ideological battles that were way bigger than any of those presidents.

How about Harding--he was pretty much a do nothing, right? And who was the President who had Prohibition come in on his watch--that guy is an automatic qualifier.

This one--he's created this generation's Nam all on his own. And for the most part of 6 years, the economy's been in reverse. The worst? Well, I'd say he at least is on the guest list to the party.

 

Nah, probably not in the top 10. There's so little we know about the inner lives of many of them.
