Who was our last deadbeat President?
Aside from George W. I've been trying to think. Even Richard Nixon came up the hard way...worked for a living...wasn't handed anything. Even George senior worked...sort of. Then there was Regan...even he did something with his life and had a reasonably successful acting career. Gerald Ford? Pretty hard working guy. Jimmy Carter...very decent man. JFK...born with the silver spoon for sure, but fought to get into WWII.

Now, back to George W. A screw up in school, bailed out of a drunk driving charge...bailed out of almost every business deal he got involved in...did he ever have a real job? Nope, I don't think so. Are we surprised that he's looking like a deer in the headlights lately? He's waiting for another bailout.

Can anyone name another President who was as useless as this guy? Really, this is not a rhetorical question. Who even comes close?

1. Coolidge and Harding.
But they were a bit before our time.
