Always interesting to see how folks in the next parallel universe over are ignoring the current elephant in the White House. I never thought that I might actually sort of miss GW Bush, but life is always full of surprises. Carry on, oh Trumpanistas!
Besides being born with too dark of a skin color for you folks, what did Obama do that was so wrong? Specifically, things that a Republican president wouldn't have done as well if serving the same 2009-16 administration?
We know Obama inherited a recession and turned it around, kept the wars going in the middle east, helped get tens of millions of uninsured Americans healthcare, and handed Trump a healthy economy.
Woodrow Wilson was pretty bad, but I don't think anything compares to the permanent and irreversible damage the policies pushed and signed under LBJ did to America.
He alienated anti-slavery groups by championing and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act; yet he failed to stem conflict between North and South, setting the stage for Southern secession and the American Civil War. Historians and scholars generally rank Pierce as one of the worst U.S. Presidents.
His inability to address the sharply divided pro-slavery and anti-slavery partisans with a unifying principle on the brink of the Civil War has led to his consistent ranking by historians as one of the worst presidents in American history. Historians who participated in a 2006 survey voted his failure to deal with secession the worst presidential mistake ever made.
By late 1973, the Watergate scandal escalated, costing Nixon much of his political support. On August 9, 1974, he resigned in the face of almost certain impeachment and removal from office.
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion as to who the worst president in US history is. But before you state "Obama is the worst," you might wish to acquaint yourself with all the US presidents through history. Given that a civil war never broke out during Obama's presidency, and he would never have been impeached, it seems to me that Obama's presidency was pretty benign. I have a feeling that proper and respected historians would agree with me.

Seriously, tell me what he did that was so bad.
I consider Obama to be an average President, not the worst. Objectively speaking, Obama deserves credit for doing some good things for America during his Presidency.
However, I believe he was racially divisive and rather blatantly took the side of criminals and thugs against the police. It still bewilders me why he did that. I suppose it's because he wanted to cater to the most radical people in his base - those who consider it a virtue to show love and compassion to degenerate people in society.

Pierce and Buchanan didn't have a civil war with 600,000 casualties, so who cares about that revisionist history. What the Obama administration did with the spying and trying to frame and set up the Trump administration is way worse than Watergate.

You just summed it up! Trumpers are mad that he gave access to health care to people that they feel didn't " deserve" it. Many feel health care is a privilege only folks as awesome as themselves deserve. ANYTHING to make the Trumpers feel superior to those lesser people. Its like health-Care is a barometer of success and superiority.
I see C-D has allowed all of the Stormfront people in again.....
Wow we actually agree on something. But yes, if Americans were TRULY honest with themselves, many would admit their initial disdain for Obama was racial. If Obama walked on water they would rip on him for not being able to swim!
Plus if trump was a Democrat and/or black, those same folks who worship him would ridicule him.
Trump isn't all that great either. Hillary was a VERY weak candidate and she STILL got more votes than Jabba the Hut did. Trumps victory was nothing more than a backlash against political correctness, and pay back for 8 years of a black President. It was a victory for the affluent bigoted white people who call themselves Christians and patriots

I put in a lot of overtime last week and, thanks to the Trump tax cut, I am looking forward to that extra money not going straight to the mooches.
Good luck running against that in 2018 and 2020!
