To Anyone Using the Phrase 'WORST PRESIDENT EVER'

I don't care if you are referring to W Bush or Obama - what context do you have to make such a judgement? Before making very broad judgements on a list of over 40 people spanning over 200 years - can you answer to me why Bush or Obama is worse than.....

John Adams - he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts
James Buchanan - Kicked the slavery expansion issue down the road, made the civil war more inevitable (you could say the same about a few of James B's predecessors too)
Abe Lincoln - suspended Habeus Corpus
Woodrow Wilson - Espionage Acts of 1917 - he shut down newspapers
Jimmy Carter (do I need to even list anything?)

Can you even NAME all the presidents? Or do you just KNOW that Obama is the WORST of the lot?

Here's a start. He's responsible for dividing this country not seen since the civil war.

Add all those things together and multiply it by 1000 and add tanking the economy, Obama is still worse.
