How the heck is income tax bad? If anything, US should have a higher income tax (of course, it should be a higher % if you make more money). And how is opposing the Kyoto protocol a good thing?

I'm just going to say George W Bush, personally I thought he was a joke.

As far as what ive studied I would say every President after JFK has not been very good. As far as Ones I have lived through I would Say Obama Bush Jr and Clinton are my least favorite.

What I meant is that some of Truman's advisors were discussing the idea of using atom bombs in the Korean war. It was always a possibility but Truman wisely avoided using them because of the domino effect it would've had.

Harrison Ford

Warren G. Harding didn't make your top ten or even honorable mentions? I'd be curious as to why.

An man of action first and a president second.

Also, Clinton's biggest black mark by far for me was repealing Glass-Steagall. It ultimately led to the 2008 collapse and due to administrations and congresses since inability to reinstate it means we'll likely suffer another such event by 2028.

I haven't studied all the presidents enough to make a fair assertion, but the ones I jave studied have irked me one way or another. I get no one is perfect and I am sure they jad their reasons, but presidents have made so many bad decisions I don't know what to do or think anymore. I am politically disillusioned.

William Howard Taft turned the once proud and progressive Republican party into regressive anti-American garbage. His laughable approach to economics and support for big, obtrusive, nanny-state government damned his presidency (and, to a degree, the nation itself).

Ronald Reagan undermined civil liberties, global stability and the nation's economy at every turn. Massive unemployment, reckless debt spending, corporate pandering, divisive partisan politics, expansion of the Carter Doctrine (support for terrorists) and the whole concept of the "moral majority" are enough to mark Reagan as one of the absolute worst presidents.

George W. Bush took Reagan's treason to a whole new level adding trillions to the national debt (while neglecting the economy) in order to destabilize the Middle East (and create a police state that stands as a direct affront to the very ideology of the founding fathers). All to please his masters in Saudi Arabia and allow them to effectively conquer the entire region at our expense.

Dishonorable mentions: Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, James A. Garfield, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and Barack Obama.
