Maybe if he said "worst president yet". Is this some new type of grammar they're teaching in red states?

Surely your English teachers were the WORST ever.

It's WORST, that's the superlative form of the word you are looking for.
Who is he worse than? That word requires something to be compared to...

Since when is our economy still in a nosedive?
The DJIA has gone up ~1800 points (22%) since Obama took office, so he's clearly better for the economy than Bush who saw the DJIA fall ~2600 points (25%) during his two terms.

I didn't vote for Obama, and I do not support a lot of what he is doing, but since he took office, my 401(k) has doubled and my after-tax investment accounts have SKYROCKETED. I've got about 8x the money I had last November.

Stupidest poll ever?
Probably not, but its way up there.

Why don't you just put up a poll asking "Are you a conservative"?

No so far Buchanan was the worst. If states start seceding with Obama or a future president I may reconsider.

You need to correct your error... Reagan belongs in the "best" list.

Franklin Pearce was aweful. He is my all time number one.

Carter and Hoover were especially bad in the 20th century.

Obama has a ways to go to get to that level. (and believe me I am no fan)

Lincoln- Defeated The States and The People turning our Federal Republic into a Federal Tyranny.

Wilson- Turned every American Citizen into mere Human Capital for the private use of the Chosen Families by signing the Federal Reserve Act.

FDR- The "100 Days of Darkness" which enacted the Raw, er New Deal, which guaranteed the eventual transformation of American into some form of Collectivist nightmare.

Johnson- For "putting the pedal to the metal" into the downward spiral that FDR got up to speed.

Obama- ?... (speculation) For increasing the debt to the point that we as a nation can only afford to make the "minimum" payment on our debt to the Chosen Families, the private owners of the Federal Reserve.

Take your pick.
