Is Obama the Worst President that we have ever had?

Yep.  We are in the slowest recovery (after a recession) in US history. 

A lot of presidents inherit recessions and don't whine about it.  Even Bush (who wasn't a good president) inherited a recession from Clinton and you didn't hear him tryijng to play the bloame game (especially for 4.5 years)

Exactly, with the dot com bubble burst in 2000, 9/11, people spending beyond their means, banks pushing loans on unqualified recipients, and many other things Bush inherited from the Clinton era. Bush had no control over things like gas prices, and world recession which also contributed to our recession. 

I love how Obama backpeddaled in the "Summer of Recovery" a few years back. 

Remember a couple of summers ago he named the summer "Summer of Recovery" Why would he name it that if he didn't think things were going to get much better? The Summer of Recovery was a huge failure. He obviosuly thought his policies would turn things around.

 

Both parties are to blame for the housing crisis but it amzing how many people give Clinton a pass.

Also I am not seeing people mention Barney Frank (who Bush warned about the dangers of pushing loans for low income families)

And then Obama is looking to repeat the same mistakes (pushes banks to make home loans to people with weaker credit) as if he hasn't learned anything from the last time.

"The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.

President Obama’s economic advisers and outside experts say the nation’s much-celebrated housing rebound is leaving too many people behind, including young people looking to buy their first homes and individuals with credit records weakened by the recession."
