Discussion has gotten stale over the past few weeks, so it's about time for a new thread.
I propose that you each post who you think was the worst president in US history and your rationale for it.
I nominate FDR. I'll give my reasons for it after viewing some of your thoughts.
Gogogo.
Harry S. Truman for being responsible for the atomic bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki.
Reagan ended the Cold War, as well as that pilot strike that could've fucked up the US economy. Plus, he bombed Kadafi to the point where we haven't heard from him since. I don't like the man, but he got results.
I'd have to say Jimmy Carter. He gave up the Panama Canal, and thanks to him, Iran is what it is today. Interestingly enough, I actually like the man as a human being, though.
You're getting into semantics, now. Reagan may not have been the best president, but his actions resulted in the end of a war that had the potential to destroy our entire planet. I personally think that raises him a few notches above Carter. In response to War:
Reagan intensified the existing arms race that existed between the US and the USSR until the Soviet Union went bankrupt. Reagan understood that a communist country could never outspend a capitalist country, and as a result, used that understanding to take them out. I believe the documents that spoke to that effect were declassified back in 2004.
