Worst president in history was Woodrow Wilson (D, NJ).
• Started the war on drugs (Harrison act of 1914). Before that any American could walk into any corner pharmacy and legally purchase opium, coca, or marihuana. Wilson laid the foundation of the modern nanny state with such progressive initiatives as the war on prostitution and prohibition, which he nominally opposed, but failed to stop.
•Started the concept of US as world police by getting the US into WWI even though it was not our concern. And WWI of course set the stage for WWII.
•Created the federal income tax and thus vouchsafed the dominance of Washington DC and leviathan centralized government.
•Was an overt racist who re-segregated the federal work force and military after it had been desegregated by the Republicans.
Quite a job by our only PhD president, whose program marches on 100 years later under Pres. Barack Obama.
The first thing he did was the Federal Reserve Act, then the IRS as a collection agency, then a World War to create debt for the Federal Reserve, then . . . the rest.
Why would you be sorry? There have been three families with multiple U.S. presidents - Adams, Harrison, and Bush. Not a single one of those six men had a "Jr" following their surname. FDR was only marginally related to Teddy Roosevelt - Eleanor was Theodore's niece, so they don't really qualify.

It's absolutely amazing how many times you tell people how smart they are not.
You helped Elect obama, not by his accomplishments, but skin color. We know you did, everyone here does.
Why is it that for some strange reason, you think that I'm bothered by the idea that people would believe that I voted for Obama based on his skin color? You think that offends me or something?
Get it through your head...you're NEVER gonna get me on the defensive that way. It ain't gonna happen.
If you or anyone else thinks that I voted for Obama SOLELY because he's black...GOOD! So what? What if I did? What's it to you IF I did? You gonna report me to the election commission?
If these other blacks on CD wanna waste their time begging and pleading for you to understand their reasons for voting for Obama, that's their business.
I voted for him because I thought he was the best qualified...or maybe I didn't. Maybe I liked his choice of ties. Maybe it was because I just felt like it. Or maybe it's because he was black.
Worry about the dopes YOU voted for...and any one that voted for Bush to send him off to a dumb ass war to risk his life for nothing shouldn't be chirping too loudly.
