I almost made my worst a four way tie because of him. He is terrible in the fact that he increased the size of the government way too much. Not to mention he made one of the most broken welfare systems in the world.

You might be forgetting the completely fucking retarded fiscal/monetary policies.

Best: Jefferson Davis
Worst: Buchanan. Very indecisive and accomplished nothing besides setting up the nation for a civil war and driving a wedge in between Congress and the white house.

Wait, do people seriously think Obama is one of the worst presidents in US history?

Recency bias, or something.

I don't. He really hasn't been necessarily great but he's by far not the worst. Not to mention he's pretty much cockblocked by congress on everything. Overall he's just had to deal with one of the worst congresses in US history.

Yeah. Back in 2008 I was all aboard the Obama hype-train. Now I'm pretty luke-warm about him, but he's far from the worst. The Congress situation sure doesn't help at all.

Best: Washington, Jefferson, FDR, Teddy, JFK, and Lincoln.

Worst: Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Jackson, Hoover, and Taft.

Just forget about the fact that he ended the Depression, created tens of thousands of jobs, and led us through the deadliest war in European history, right?

Nobody is 100% bad. Of course even the bad ones did some good things.

I'd consider FDR one of the good ones that did some bad things.

Well I'm extremely anti big government and he increased the government's size almost more than any other president in history. Not to mention he made the broken welfare system we have today and his fiscal policies were all around terrible. In the end his effects on the economy were negative in the long term.

That's probably why our opinions differ. I'm no fan of big government, but I'm not really that strongly against it. But how does our current welfare system resemble the one he made? I thought his whole idea was making people work for the government to make money (Civilian Conservation Corps and all that).
