The ones that were not bold
Submitted By: right.h.man ( 47 days, , 16 minutes ago )
The ones that just sat back and decided to leave things the way they were and just maintain the country lacked leadership.
I'm not a fan of the current one but at least hes trying to make changes for his country.
Democracy isn't about always making the right choices or not making mistakes, you have to experiment a bit and that does mean screwing up. But its better than nothing to me.
The presidents who didn't Aid their foreign allies, the corrupt ones are also bad.

Bill Clinton
Submitted By: cubslose ( 46 days, 23 hours, 33 minutes ago )
He always thought about himself first, not the country. He was asleep at the switch-- or with Monica Lewinsky-- as Osama Bin Laden built up strength to attack us.
Agree or disagree with George W. Bush, at least you know he is acting in what he believes is the country's best interest. Above all else, that's what the presidency is about-- leadership.
Submitted By: kk
Bush isn't acting for what he believes. He's acting to make himself and the people that pull his strings richer. It was Bush's fault that Bin Laden got to you and Bush hasn't even found him in the last 6 years. He just keeps getting richer and lying to you. Nobody in the world likes him except for less than half of the people in the U.S.
God he makes my blood boil.

Bush is the Anitchrist
Submitted By: kk ( 42 days, 6 hours, 21 minutes ago )
George Bush and **** Cheney are two of the worst people ever to have walked the face of the Earth. They leave a trail of lies and destruction whereever they go. It's a shame that someone had to waste a presidential assassination on Kennedy, a man with a decent vision, when they could have made every nation on the planet happier by riding us of Bush.

I would call it a tie between Grant and Pierce.
Pierce wasn't a bad guy in the personal sense -- that's part of the reason he won against Scott, after all, since their platforms were so similar -- but as a president he was utterly incompetent. He let things (*cough* Kansas-Nebraska Act *cough*) get away from him in such a way that he almost directly caused the Civil War.
I like Grant, too -- he had cojones aplenty -- but he failed to take advantage of the Reconstruction and produce lasting change. I'd like to give him a get-out-of-jail-free card by saying that the country had just fought a devastating civil war and needed some sort of stability in the South to get anything done, but it's pretty difficult to justify some of the weak-kneedness he had about supporting the rights of freedmen in the South.
So, basically: nice guys, bad presidents. I'll let everybody else beat up on Nixon, Bush, Clinton...
