Is Obama the Worst President that we have ever had?

Iraq is the biggest US foreign policy blunder in the last 30 years easy and Hurricane Katrina is the most embarrassing inner US disaster.

Bush Jr. wins on that alone. Not to mention the entire housing market and subsequently the stock market collapsing on his watch.

Obama got Osama, ended the pointless war in Iraq, and the economy is slowly but surely recovering. No way he's close to the worst. He's been average in a difficult period.

It's between Nixon and Bush Jr. No one else is even close IMO.

Let me address what you said one by one.

First part:  There are actually a lot of people who agree that going to Iraq would have had to happen at some point.  There are many who disagree as well.  However, not very many people know why we had to go to Iraq when we did, and there are multiple explanations.  The ones you have heard about are most likely not true.

Second part:  Without context, it seems a bit difficult to follow what you are trying to say.

Third part:  Obama didn't necessarily get Osama, nor did he try to take credit for it.  He may have pulled the troops from Iraq, but he only did so because he was lucky, and ironically stopped one war and entered into another.  I also wouldn't call the war in Iraq "pointless."  The point with the economy is recovering, that is a contested subject that I will try not to touch.

Fourth part:  That's all subjective and is informed mostly on what the media feeds us.  I'm sure if you really look into other presidents, you may feel like others may have been worse.

 

On topic, I would say this is a vastly uninformed thread.
