Best and worst US Presidents of the last 100 years

[Bears01]

In honor of Presidents’ Day (late) who would you say is the best and worst U.S. president of the last century, and why? 

[Bears01]

I voted best: FDR. Most economically progressive and electorally successful president ever. 
 

Worst: George W. Bush. Illegal war. Unconstitutional law (Patriot Act), No Child left behind, Katrina Debacle, etc

I refuse to vote for FDR as best because he rounded up Japanese-Americans and put them in camps so white people could steal all their farmland. So I voted for JFK, even though I'm pretty sure he sucked, too.

 

For worst, I voted for G-Dub. **** him.

LBJ>>>>JFK. Vietnam though was a catastrophic mistake

Hot take: Richard Nixon would have been an excellent president if he wasn’t a criminal. The EPA, affirmative action expansion, his China policy>>

Best: Lyndon B Johnson. Social Security, Great Society, War on Poverty, civil rights, Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid. List goes on. Close second is FDR.

 

Worst: Trump, then Reagan, then Nixon.

Vietnam is a stain on LBJ, who'd otherwise be on par with FDR, Lincoln and Washington. Instead he's just below that.

Best: FDR and JFK

Worst: Reagan, keeping company with Trump, Nixon, and the younger Bush.

Worst is Reagan by far.

 

Best I guess would be FDR... and even he had some issues.

[Into The Void]

Best JFK or Reagan

Worst DUMP

 

 

[Gottasadae]

Best JFK

Worst Donald Dumb 

[Virgos Groove]

Best: FDR.

 

Worst: George W. Bush. I was tempted to vote for Reagan because how much damage can be traced back to his administration, but I think Dubya still takes it due to Iraq, Gitmo, and his national security policies.
