Barack Obama was the Worst President since....

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Figured I'd do the opposite to.

W, because he's better than W.

[Mr. Illini]

Lest we forget that Bush 43 was a disaster

[Antonio the Sixth]

Dubya (literally normal).

[Mr. Smith]

Dubya (literally normal).

This, but Reagan's a close second.

That would imply that Clinton and HW were better?

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Further back (probably the worst since FDR, maybe even since Buchanan)

[Derpist]

GWB.

[Xing]

W, though it's hard to be worse than W.

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Further back (probably the worst since FDR, maybe even since Buchanan)

Definitely

makes sense, ER is still pissed off that FDR beat his Fuhrer.

[Santander]

Lincoln

[DavidB.]

The worst since FDR.

My personal ranking of post-FDR here these days is

Truman
LBJ
Reagan
Clinton
Obama
Kennedy
Eisenhower
Carter
Bush Sr.
Ford
everybody above this line was decent
<...> gap
Bush Jr.
<...> gap
Nixon

I have no doubt Trump will be much worse than Nixon, though. It remains to be seen if there are going to be any presidents thereafter.

[President Johnson]

Since himself. LOL. Obama was the BEST president since LBJ.

[RINO Tom]

About the same as W, who was about the same as Clinton, honestly.

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

H.W. Bush or Nixon.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Carter (not a Bush-hating liberal hack.)

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Carter, although the case could be made for Wilson.

The more I think of it, the more I come to the conclusion that Obama's closest parallel is in fact Woodrow Wilson.

I honestly cannot fathom how anybody can approve of Bush Jr, unless they are anti-American and anti-capitalist and enjoyed seeing the reputations of both get shredded in a highly embarrassing display which has afflicted the world to this day.

I thought he was a good man with good ideas who might not have had the ability to implement them.  Anywho, yes, Oldiesfreak's comment was stupid.

While the Iraq war was definitely a mistake in hindsight, it was based on flawed intelligence, not lies.  And the main factor that led to the financial crisis was the repeal of Glass-Steagall, which was passed by a GOP Congress and signed by President Clinton.  Bush's tax cuts had nothing to do with it.

Meanwhile, Bush's domestic achievements were quite impressive, from the tax cuts to No Child Left Behind to the ban on partial birth abortion.  So although you are right that his foreign policy record was disappointing, his domestic policy was largely a success.
