I have always been curious about it... why is there a rule about no dancing at the memorials? Is it because someone complained? Is it because of liability? Does anyone know?
Because a protester was once arrested for dancing, and she sued the city and the presiding judge basically decided to make it against the law to spite her.
My vote for the worst president ever is Woodrow Wilson, coincidentally the only PhD president ever.
Wilson a) kicked off the war on drugs in 1913 (prior to that drugs had been legal and available OTC at drug stores. He also started the federal income tax, which did not exist prior to Wilson, other than temporarily during the Civil War. By getting us into WWI (unecessarily, IMO) he started the overseas adventurism that has plagued us ever since. And he re-segregated the military & federal work force, which had been desegregated previously. Like most progressives and academics of the time, he was a racist based on the fashionable, pseudo-science theories of the time.
We had a largely libertarian nation before Wilson (granted, it was only so for white males). With Wilson we started our march towards big government and nanny statism.
He has increased or National debt by a record $5 trillion in three years. This with a major war in Iraq winding down. Unemployment has increased from 6.5% when he was elected to 9.1%. He has overseen worse racial strife and has been less transparent in contrast to what he promised in his campaign. Even democrats have to be unhappy that his failed policies have cost the party the house and soon will cost them the senate and the presidency.
HE is not repsonsible for all of the items you listed, and your last statements are nothing more than wishful thinkig and assumptions on your part. The thread is a failure is it is based on nothing more than right-wing rhetoric and 2012 will pove it
He is, however, the most cynical president since Richard Nixon and the most clueless since Jimmy Carter.
The "draft Hillary" movement for 2012 has already begun.

Obama is NOT the worst president in history.
