Why do people accept US president over American president when they get in such a tizzy over USian and American,

Convention sure but to get upset about it?

Crazy,

Worst president was Ronald Reagan, he was clinically insane, just happened to be a movie actor in a country obsessed with celebrity,

President Clooney for 2020,

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

Bush Sr. was not a bad President.

:clap: I believe Ronald Reagan was bad too, but in a different way. His insane policies towards the USSR ended nearly 2 decades of easing of tension (Nixon-Ford-Carter) (SALT, SALT II etc), he utterly destroyed the USSR, however, when Gorbachev came along, he understood that he had to side with him, I mean, Gorbachev was a star. But anyways, without him, the world would be a better place without him.

Buchanan, with Fillmore, Harding, and Carter close behind. As expected, the voters show little sense of history.

Jimmy Carter, and here's why:
Absurd inflation rates,
Insane gasoline rationing to snub off Iran
Allowing said third world country to hold American hostages for over 400 days (anyone wonder why they released them when Reagan took the presidency?)

People don't understand how much Bush has changed the Middle East. Back then it was run by dictators who killed babies in vats of acid and gave their people rigged elections to decide over their dictator or execution. The people of the Middle East have seen the freedoms that the people of Iraq have now, and it is clear that they want it too

^ My god people on NS these days... back in Jolt no one dared say things as... controversial as this.

Anyways, I guess he was alright in most of his presidency, but the Indian Removal Act was basically genocide. That's why I put him as the 'worst US president', though I also think Warren Harding was pretty bad.
