Who’s the worst president since 1945? Lyndon Johnson with the legacy of Vietnam? Richard Nixon with the legacy of Watergate?
No. People surveyed in a recent poll said Barack Obama.

President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, 33 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 28 percent pick President George W. Bush.

Ronald Reagan is the best president since WWII, 35 percent of voters say, with 18 percent for Bill Clinton, 15 percent for John F. Kennedy and 8 percent for Obama, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Among Democrats, 34 percent say Clinton is the best president, with 18 percent each for Obama and Kennedy.

The Connecticut college says Obama and George W. Bush are at the bottom of the rankings.

Obama did come out better than “W” for handling the economy. And Democrats like Obama much more than Republicans or independents: 88 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents don’t approve of the job he’s doing. Seventy-nine percent of Democrats do.

I would include the biggest criminal in the American presidency ever. I would have put Grant and Clinton in that category but they fall in a distant second.
 
And it goes downhill from there:




July 25, 2014
Eleanor Holmes Norton, the non-voting congressional delegate for the District of Columbia, angrily sputtered during a congressional hearing Friday that the White House should not be held up to scrutiny, saying that there was no right to know what it was doing behind closed doors.

"You don't have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government," Norton said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing.

It was, to put mildly, a significant departure from the more traditional liberal stance that openness and transparency are must to prevent abuses of power by government officials. Instead the leading advocate for statehood for the District of Columbia literally argued that even the congressional committee charged with oversight shouldn't be asking questions in the first place.

oh, well.

Just another Obama lie ignored by the media and the true believers.

In a speech at Ft. Bragg, NC on December 14, 2011, President Barack Obama said the United States was “leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people.”

“Iraq’s future will be in the hands of its people. America’s war in Iraq will be over” he remarked. And “Iraq is not a perfect place. It has many challenges ahead. But we’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people. We’re building a new partnership between our nations.”

Statistically and what the majority of the people think it’s not even close. But it’s a current fad from the left to hate Trump for reasons that make no sense.
 
Do you think Andrew Jackson will always remain as the worst president in US history?

No, and I have two reasons.


One: The rating is subjective, there is no "Presidential Batting Average" or "Career Race Average Finishes" to rate them. Since it is subjective, it is subject to change with the next high tide.

Two: People never learn about the absolute failures of the ones like Pierce and Buchanan, whose ineptitude led directly to the War Between the States or Warren Harding who sold the White House, and his own soul, to the trusts. If the schools ever actually start teaching history again. That can change it as well.
