I think Hoover was one of the worst because he started the Great Depression by causing greed and such in the market.

I wasn't around for that so I'll go with Carter. He thought he could negotiate with Iranians.

Oh that was really a big one? How many Americans got killed for that mistake???

How many trillions to we spend because of it??

How low did our respect in the World nosedive after "Carter thought he could negotiate with the Iranians"???

Did they start a needless War more costly than the Vietnam War in today's Dollars because of it???

I swear wingnuts have no clue.

I used to think Nixon was. After 8 years of Bush, nobody else comes close.

Just as a point of clarification, Hoover didn't cause the Great Depression and he certainly didn't cause the over leverage of the stock market. He didn't help matters, but he didn't cause it., that honor in part goes to Calvin Coolidge.

Facts? You really think Bush was worse than Buchanan? C'mon man.

FDR. The damage he did by institutionalizing collectivism and big-goverment in this country is something I fear can never be undone.

Since when did "opinion" mean the same thing as "fact"?
