Who was the worst president in your life time

WAS being the oprative word here I hope to say Obananna nanna boingo was..... come the end of this year....

I like Ike.

I AM impressed, that so many of the predominately conservative republicans on this web site admit the G.W. Bush folly. although some ol' coots still think that an office BJ, and a treasury surplus, is worse than the national financial disaster brought on the country by said folly ist. {sic} All we know, is we want O,, bama that is. we being the selfLess thinkers.

If GWB is the worst, then BHO has to be neck and neck.

Most of the same players and all of the same policies!

You have to give him A for effort.

Since there is no such thing as a mind/body dichotomy, a selfless thinker is also a mindless thinker. And since a mindless thinker is a nonsensical conflict of terms, you are obviously neither selfless nor mindless. Though sometimes you seem to be trying quite hard to accomplish this obvious impossibility, in the end you are merely a self deluded troll.

Wow! well said. I nominate you for post of the month!

Forgive me for I have sinned in the eyes of many but I don't care for it's the truth, the beginning of the downturn we are in now.

I believe that Jimmy Carter was the worst President in my lifetime. The country was in a depressed state (of mind) and Ronald Reagan was the panacea the country needed.

Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan,Bush1 & Bush 2..

But Reagan's policies "Reaganomics" are still hurting us 30 years later.
My favorite was the"Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982".
Reagan raised taxes seven of the eight years he was in office and the tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle class.
His attack's on Unions and the Middle Class are still being felt in the Mon Valley Steel mill areas.
Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, he then began raising taxes on the middle and lower class. "The Conservative Mantra"
Corporations started to ship more jobs out of the United States while hiring cheap foreign labor in order to make a bigger profit.
The national debt tripled under his polices.
The Iran/Contra debacle and let us not forget the funding of the "Freedom Fighters" in Afghanistan.
Better known as the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden..

I have a conservative mindset, dont spend more than you bring in and save some for issues that later arise. I dont really agree with the reaganomics myself. I hear this from sooo many co-workers on how reaganomics hurt the "working man" So when I hear the term reaganomics I have a slight cringe. I cannot understand why Reagan is revered as a great. Hey did get our folks outta Iran but you can argue not electing Carter and electing someone else could have done the same. SO far all I have read about reagan, makes me question why any "middle class" person would want a president to follow his economic policies.

Another one of your far-left websites, no wonder you're so biased.

All I know is I live within my means; and I make my living from people who can afford to pay me. Therefore I am biased toward trickle-down economics which has always worked for me. It doesn't work for people that don't want work, who therefore become dependant on the welfare nannystate bigger and bigger government ideology. Things were booming in the Reagan years; how about now after a term of left-wing socialist ideology?

I guess from this point of view (people who can afford to pay me) This makes sense with the "trickle down" effect. But I work in a manufacturing environment. When its folks of all incomes that purchase my product. I guess I can see where the trickle effect impacts the business I work for. But bigger ideas on tax reform are out thier. Say a straight % across the board, nothing to gripe about then. Different % for different types of incomes like investment returns, income, inheritance etc . Say your retired and collecting dividends on purchased investments, a different % etc. Offer a reduced % for corporate investments out a paycheck, say your pay was 1500.00 and you invested 100$ in company stock then you pay taxes on 1400.00. Follow me? Like Freetown puts it, Keep it simple stupid.

Reaganomics is the belief that allocating more of available capital toward the productive part of the economy will result in lower unemployment and higher revenues for the government as well as higher prosperity for all. That all happened as well as forcing the collapse of the Soviet Union and inflation was brought under control. Twenty years of unprecedented prosperity followed. The belief that somehow allocating more money to government will create prosperity just defies all logic. We see the proof of that in our present economy which almost no one believes can be sustained under present practice.

President Kennedy had similar economic views, and to be fair the harsh measures to contain inflation came under Jimmy Carter for which he had to suffer undeservedly. His weak handling of foreign affairs was his undoing.

It is so hard to pick just one! I have to go with Nixon in that he really kicked off what we have going on today.
