James Buchanan. He took us speeding straight into the Civil War. Possibly a fag as well.

This. Franklin Pierce would be in the same club.

Ulysses S. Grant was also pretty terrible as a President, and so was Warren G. Harding.

It's dumb to say any President from the last 20 years or so is the best or worst because nobody knows that yet.
 
James Buchanan, hands down. That fucker did literally nothing as the whole country ripped itself apart. Fuck that guy.
 
Horace Greeley.

Nigger died before the Electoral College even met!

In all seriousness, anyone who doesn't say Buchanan is a fucking idiot.

Jackson was first Kiwi btw. Motherfucker had to be restrained from beating his would-be assassin to death.
 
James Buchanan is easily the worst president as his fuckups lead to one of the most horrible wars in American history which in today's context would lead to the deaths of 10s of millions of Americans.
 
Donald Drumpf of course, that one recent poll said he was the worst!

But really, probably Andrew Johnson. All sorts of corruption, helping to fuck up Reconstruction, and betray Lincoln's legacy. He was so fucking shit the only reason he wasn't impeached was because he had bribed a few senators. Buchanan was just a mediocre president who happened to be president at the absolute worst time, and had a lot less control over the outcome. Andrew Johnson was president at one of the most important times in American history, and utterly and monumentally fucked up despite having ample opportunity not to.

At the rate things are going in this country, in 50 years I wouldn't be surprised if we'll be able to argue that George W. Bush was the worst president in US history.

Depending upon how liberal or conservative I'm feeling on any particular day of the week, I oscillate between thinking Calvin Coolidge is either the worst president of the twentieth century, or the best. A lot of liberal scholars now think if any one person is to be blamed for the Great Depression, Coolidge is the guy, and that Herbert Hoover was just somebody in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact a lot of what the New Deal did began under Hoover, it just didn't cool acronyms, seems to be commonly accepted scholarship these days. For better or worse.

Coolidge does have a term in biology named after him, the Coolidge Effect, concerning the re-arousal of male mammals for sex when provided with access to multiple partners. :geek:

Hoover was probably autistic. If he were alive today, he'd probably be posting on some engineering/science related forum. The guy's beliefs and policies were extremely rigid in their thinking.

And also for Hoover, go check out what he did during the 1927 Mississippi flood and the aftermath. He made a bunch of promises to the black community, who were a bit concerned by Southern plantation owners bringing back slavery to fix the damage from the flood, and then proceeded to break them. So in part, Hoover helped begin the destruction of a solidly Republican voting bloc and helped lead to blacks mostly voting Democrat.

Woodrow Wilson was easily the most authoritarian president in U.S history, so I'd have to go with him.

He was also a hardcore racist even by the standards of his day and segregated the federal government. He also sent over 100,000 men to die in Europe for almost no reason (Zimmerman Telegram was a false flag), in a war that gained Americans nothing, all the while throwing his political opponents in jail or censoring them. Also, Wilsonianism as foreign policy helped lead to a bunch of wars after WWI was over, and was made even worse since the US never even bothered to enforce it. In many ways, he was the prototype of George W. Bush.

The only reason Wilson wasn't actually that bad is because he actually did a lot of good during his term.
 
Lyndon B. "I'll have those niggers voting Democrat for 100 years" Johnson, way to strangle black america in the crib you fat disgusting fuck.
