You if you can't keep the promises you made to your spouse, why would it not be difficult to break promises you've made to others or the nation.

There's more good things that I can't think of right now because I'm tired, but Wilson is my vote.
Democrat Woodrow Wilson was the worst in my book, dead last among 20th cent presidents.

He started the federal income tax, which as we have seen this year, still haunts us to this day. He started the war on drugs (Harrison Act of 1914). Before that, cocaine, morphine, mj, etc. could be legally sold in pharmacies.

He unnecessarily got us into WWI, which kicked off a century of US as 'world police.' He also stomped all over the 1st Amendment, actually putting people in jail just for printing and distributing anti-war pamphlets (the Schenk case). And he was an open racist, who re-segregated the federal work force (and US military) after Republicans had desegregated it following the civil war. That of course set back racial progress for a generation. Incidentally, he was our only PhD president.

Agreed! Stay in school long enough you can have a PhD to.

Clinton was the best. Too busy chasing Monica to screw with our money!

Judged purely by character, American values, and putting his country ahead of political gain I'd have to give high marks to Gerald Ford.
Easy, they did very little that effected your life for the worst.
