Worst:

1 - FDR: soviet-style planning of agriculture, introduction of soviet-style rationing system, looking up citizens for the "crime" for being of Japanese decent, laws controlling gold ownership, public-works programs that led to the ideas of Keynes being locked into the political mindset until even today, questionable actions in regard to dealing with Japan before Pearl Harbour.

3 - Wilson: Prohibition. Federal Reserve.

Without either of these two men, your sorry ass would be speaking German. 

 

You mean without Josef Stalin our sorry asses would be speaking German. The Russians did way more than the rest of the allies, and were the first to reach Berlin. 

And don't use the line that America's aid helped the USSR beat Germany. I did an entire essay on lend-lease in history class last semester. Yes the Americans sent war materials, food, resources, etc. but the majority came in late 1944 and 1945, after the decisive battles of Moscow and Stalingrad when the USSR turned the tide.
