The worst president

While talking about “worst president”, - who could possibly make worse appointments than Trump? Unhealthy-looking, worm-infested RFKJr for anything to do with health? Or, for that matter, anything at all? Hegseth in charge of Pentagon, and many others that make no sense at all WOW!

Hello, Zinovy

Interesting LTE. I'm not a fan of worst or best presidents' lists, but you'd be hard pressed to find one less effective than James Buchanan or a more effective chief executive than Abe Lincoln. I totally understand your lack of enthusiasm for Barack Obama. I'm still wondering why he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize after only serving as US president for 11 days. Some on the Nobel committee thought he might slow the pace of nuclear proliferation. Well, he did make a deal with Iran. Over the past couple of months, Donald Trump offered Iran a deal. Iran declined. So, four days ago, President Trump ordered the US Air Force to drop 14 GBU-57s on Iranian nuclear sites. Oops... there goes The Donald's peace prize nomination. I guess it only matters what you do before the prize nominations close because during Barry's last year as commander-in-chief, the US military dropped 16,000 bombs on Muslim majority countries.

Sorry, Zinovy, your opinion carries little weight. Obama got Osama Boin Laden killed, introduced Obamacare whereby millions were health insured where they were unable to be covered previously, rescued the auto industry at a profit to the government no less, turned the economy around to then record levels in the Dow, built respect around the world, and during his 8 years there were no personal scandals.

As to the worst president, Trump wins hands down and he is not through ruining the country. Convicted felon, convicted of sexual assault, lead an insurrection on 1/6, impeached twice, ignores the Constitution on birthright citizenship and due process, sides with Putin and other despots, ignores the emoluments clause repeatedly, stole classified documents, and lies incessantly. These are just a few of his lowlights as space does not allow for a complete accounting of his incompetence, stupidity, greed, and cruelty. To not consider him to be the worst president ever is willful ignorance.

Around the world, President Obama was considered the best president we have had for decades! He was both elected and re-elected with a comfortable margin, both EC- and primary-wise, - despite Trump’s childish birth certificate nonsense. Perhaps you would have felt differently if he had been white?
