The best & worse President in your life time?

Question

The best & worse President in your life time?

Answer 1

Best:  LBJ.  2nd best:  Harry S. Truman

Worst:  George W. Bush    2nd worst: Jimmy Carter

Neutral (Not good, not bad):   George HW Bush, Reagan

Answer 2

Yep, F. D. Roosevelt the best. George W  the worstest. Matter of opinion, i guess

Answer 3

Born in 1946.

During my 62 years, history tells me that Harry Truman was probably the best, although I don't really remember him. But, by all accounts, the man knew how to make a decision and then live with it.

Other than that I would say probably John Kennedy.  He gave this nation hope and a feeling that we really had a leader.  even if it wasn't always entirely justified, this feeling counts for something.

Georgie W. Bush is the worst.  In the running for the worse President in history, I hear tell.  In a class all by himself so much so that it is hard to even consider him a President.

Next to Bush, Ronald Reagan was the worst.  He started this trickle down economics thing where the solution to every problem is a tax cut for the wealthiest among us.  He talked big, but when it came to real action he backed down.  I remember Beirut. This had the effect of encouraging terrorism.

Answer 4

Best = LBJ

Worst = Ford

Answer 5

The worst was LBJ. Got us to Nam. The best, Nixon. He got us home..

Answer 6

Best-Kennedy

Worst-Carter

Carter screwed up when he invited the Shah of Iran over here for sanctuary. Thank him for starting problems with Iran and snowballing to other countries. Carter should have started looking for new energy sources back then. Don't forget the grain embargo that hurt the farmers that he imposed. But then many Americans see the American farmer as unimportant or indispensable if you will, which is very idiotic. The administration of this country has seen our oil crisis coming on for years, but they bury their heads in the sand, probably Saudi Arabia's sand no doubt!

Answer 7

The best  - Franklin Delano Roosevelt   Lead the country through two great crises, successful with both.

The worst - Hard to tell just yet, but George W. Bush and Richard Milhous Nixon are kind of in a tie.

Answer 8

The worst is easy. Already, 66% of historians polled say G.W. Bush is the worst in U.S. history and I couldn't agree more.

The best? ... Well, personally, my life was at the most prosperous level under the Clinton administration. He balanced the budget and consumer confidence skyrocketed. I was a small business owner and my sales went through the roof.

I wasn't alive for FDR but f/ what I have read, he and Lincoln are the two best all time.

Oh, and Nixon can rest easy now that "W" has redefined incompetence toward  the most important job in the world.

No one will ever outdo the current President as it relates to failure. He didn't make one correct decision. These results are compounded by the strong suspicion that he acted upon his own best interest.

Answer 9

Richard Nixon ........The worst



John Kennedy,,,,,,,,, The Best  

Answer 10

The best,  Harry Truman

The worse,   G.W. Bush

It's not going to get any better either, no matter who is elected.  We are doomed to incompetency at worse and mediocrity at best.

Answer 11

best:  Kennedy

worst:  nixon or our current resident, they are only exceeded by their veeps

Answer 12

Best - Truman

Worst - Reagan followed by Bush, then Nixon, then Carter

Answer 13

fdr and truman was the best -- both had smarts and knew how to use them -- worse - nixon (water gate and the arms deal) brought shame on the country --- george w buse because he has never got anything right!!!

Answer 14

I never thought any president could be worse than Nixon and then along came Reagan. Then, when I thought no president could get any worse than senile ol' Reagan, along came G.W. Bush. He is worse than all the other bad presidents combined!

As for the best president, that is a difficult question. The U.S. has had an aggressive, imperialist agenda globally for most of my lifetime. Thousands of Cuban citizens have been murdered by U.S.-sponsored terrorism approved by every president since Kennedy. Kennedy also started our criminal war in Vietnam that exterminated almost four million Vietnamese civilians, 1 million Laotians, and 1 million Cambodians. Since Vietnam, every president has engaged in similar terroristic campaigns against vastly smaller and weaker nations in order to gain access to their resources. And now, of course, we have the American Empire's latest bloodbaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Even so-called peacenik, Jimmy Carter, ordered acts of terrorist aggression against various nations during his time in office. Nonetheless, if I have to pick a best president during my lifetime, it would be Carter as he committed the least number of crimes against humanity during his term.

Answer 15

Ronald(faher knows best)Regan the worst

John Kennedy the best.

Answer 16

best:  Clinton

worst:  Reagan

Answer 17

Carter gets my vote for the worst...Economy and world politics's..

Bush gets my vote for the best... Haven't been killed by fanatic islam yet. I know everyone hates him for that and gas, but no one can convince me their way would have worked out any better.

Answer 18

Best:  Reagan

Worse:  Carter

Answer 19

Best: Gerald Ford

Worse: Bill Clinton

Answer 20

Kennedy--the best.

Bush--the worst.

Answer 21

Best: randy Bill. Economically, things were improving and the deficit was gone, Bill is a smart guy who cultivated good relations with other leaders, my biggest complaint about Bill was his blind eye toward the atrocities in Rwanda and his caving in on the Lani Guinier appointment. So he was doing what many, many powerful men do, having illicit s*x with women other than his wife. whooo. I like JFK, but I was just a young kid back then. Worst: No doubt, GW, what an idiot, he'd be funny if he wasnt so dangerous.

Answer 22

For the worst it is difficult to say if it was W. or Nixon.  I do think that Carter is one of the best presidents.... after his term was over.  His work with Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center and his other efforts for peace are to be commended.

Answer 23

Best-Abe Lincoln

Worst-Bush's

Answer 24

The best is Is George Bush because he's funny and no president can replace that.Bill Clinton was okay but he has a fake personality.Not really sure.

Answer 25

Best -  Bill Clinton

Worst - George W. Bush

Answer 26

It's hard to choose the best, as I find three that were good presidents.

I think John Kennedy was the most loved.  Everyone across the country it seemed, mourned with his passing.  I would have to say

FDR or Truman for getting jobs done. They stood behind their promises

and didn't take any guff (as the expression was at that time).

   Carter I feel was a miserable excuse for a president. I just remem-

ber his grinning alot. I think he's done more since leaving office than he

did while he was residing there.

Answer 27

Best - Ronald Reagan

Worst - Bill Clinton or Richard Nixon

However, this may change after the election this year!

Answer 28

Best:  Reagan

Worst:  Carter

( My favorite:  JFK)

Answer 29

I have lived through 12 President's.

History will in time tell us who were the best because we don,t immediately know the results of the actions they had to take.

I won't be around when it is written, but I do know we must get back to a time when anything goes will not be acceptable.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Harry S. Truman

Dwight D. Eisenhower

John F. Kennedy

Lyndon Baines Johnson

Richard M. Nixon

Gerald R. Ford

James Earl Carter, Jr.

Ronald Wilson Reagan

George Bush

William Clinton

George W Bush

By the way, I have always supported our President once he is elected.

I'm proud of my country and we MUST be united because devided we will fall.
