Dear "Worst President" Poll Respondents,

Last edited Thu Jul 3, 2014, 12:16 AM - Edit history (1)

I just want to say that Barack Obama has done a horrible job at being the worst president. He is a lousy tyrant, dictator, fascist, communist, warmonger, etc. People still have the freedom to follow religion or not. "White slavery" has not been established. There have been no black helicopters or FEMA camps. The government is not (and has been incapable of) reading all our thoughts. We've gone from losing jobs to having over 40 consecutive months of private sector job growth. Bin Laden is dead. The Constitution is still in tact and hasn't been trampled. There have been no new wars started thus far, and no more 9/11-type attacks here. He has not raised taxes on poor Americans, and he got rid of tax cuts for the rich. He ended the Iraq War, and has been drawing down the Afghanistan War. He signed the Fair Pay Act and reformed the country's health care system. And so on.

As for who is more deserving of this title, Reagan did raise taxes on the poor in addition to lowering top tax rates from how they were under Carter, and he got the country more engaged in the Cold War. And under him and both Bushes, the deficit and unemployment both increased. Under Bush ll, the administration started two wars and didn't care much about catching the culprits responsible for 9/11, and misled the country into believing that there were WMDs. Furthermore, none of these presidents dealt with news networks dedicated to criticizing their every move, or SC decisions allowing billionaire tycoons to "make it rain" when it comes to spending for negative ads against them, or Congresspersons who were more interested in obstruction than working together to see the country succeed.
With all of this in mind, I call on the community to strip Mr. Obama of his "Worst Post-WWll President" trophy. Thank you, and have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Jamaal

is dumber than a box of rocks.

We'd be better off if none of them ever participated in our political system again.

people like them would read up on how our system works, and also on all of his accomplishments and what he wants in comparison to the GOP before making any conclusions.

Basically, 33% think he's the worst president. 76% chose somebody else. Probably W, Nixon, and Reagan split the vote among people who have some concept of history and are not hysterical about a black President.

The same loons thought he was the worst before he even took office and everyday since no matter what has happened. He could cure cancer, convert the Middle East into a love-fest of peace, bring unemployment to 0%, find a cheap, non-polluting, unlimited source of energy, and end hunger everywhere. The same 33% would poll exactly the same way.

When a person looks at it like the majority of the respondents didn't choose O as the worst (and how like you said, people were hating him since before he became sworn in), it sort of ruins the story's juiciness. It's laughable when one thinks about it for a while.
