Q: Worst President?

A friend of mine had the following thing on his profile:
Who do you think is the worst president of the past 3 decades?

Of the possible answers of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, he chose George W.

That's the stock answer that people give that makes them feel better. Bad things really happened under his lead, it's the most recent major tragedy so it sticks with us. So yes, he did a lot of bad things, but these were superficial and obvious.

Sure, but let's be real about it. Clinton set up the possibility for Bush Jr to fail. George went extreme, but as far as Democrats go, Billy wasn't a good one. He was just a little better than the Republicans. He started the insurance de-regulations. He was fiscally conservative, which is the problem that the U.S. faces now. So yeah, I'd give George W. Bush a failing grade, but Clinton would barely pass too. And what would I give Obama? Maybe a C, probably a C-. It's relatively early, but he hasn't executed at all since he took throne. Dude just talks tough. So did Dubya. A two-party system isn't a choice when they're both supported by the same corporate interests.
