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. 

Republicans are and have always been isolationists, that was one of the stark differences with G.W. Bush, he is the first and only US president ever to wage a preemptive war against an aggressive nation (Iraq). 

I'm calling BS on this one.  Or at least debatable BS.

There are tons of conflicts/wars that could be considered preemptive on the part of the US.

Most recently.  Libya.  They didn't attack us or our allies, we attacked in response to them fighting rebel groups.  Not really different from day to day Iraq who had their own rebel problems.

Boxer Rebellion - fought because China didn't want to trade with us.

Kosovo... same difference really, done in response to genoicde of rebels.

Somalia,Bonsia, Cuba in the Bay of Pigs,
