My vote is as follows:
Worst: 1. Richard Nixon - even before his presidency, he was one evil mofo, nuff said 2. Herbert Hoover - the Great Depression, need I say more 3. George W. Bush, Sr. - often goes under the radar; but really, the Great Recession can be tied to his president Best: 1. Franklin D. Roosevelt - he didn't serve four terms for nothing 2. Eisenhour - ...I like to think that all his flaws can be tied to his evil Vice president 3. Harry Truman - Rarely made decisions based on his own merit and was a lover of peace |

http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx As for why I think FDR is a bad president? The above and the following: - He started the draft. - Japanese internment camps. - Created the UN - Made ownership of gold illegal debasing the currency. |

And during his presidency appease the south he did. That'd be like Franco's successor being a socialist |

Anyway; you disagree with Johnson. Oh well. I'm more favorable of Tyler and Taylor anyway. |
