Taft had no accomplishments, didn't even want the presidency. He golfed, took naps and ate. Basically he was the most useless President, abusing his position by stagnating the country.


Eh, stagnation is still slightly better than actively destroying the economy like Coolidge did.

Taft's legacy is bigger bathtubs in the Oval Office. NBD.

I'd say Clinton, Bush, and Obama put together. Clinton put troops in the Middle East, that caused their hostility. Bush started the war and helped full and fiscal down fall. Obama continued the war and has put troops in more countries and has continued to fuel the fiscal downfall. I blame them, the republicans, democrats, and the entire Federal Government in all.

While everyone is Bush Bashing. . .

It would seem it took Obama only 4 years to TRIPLE what bush borrowed.
Passed a bunch of shitty reforms that has caused a great deal of strife.
Never kept a single promise.
His foreign policy is based on "Blame the republicans".
His entire moral code is "Blame the republicans".
Put Mao on his bloody christmas tree.
Uses race politics and advocates separation in american culture based on color and personal wealth.
Mao on his Christmas tree. . . .
Christmas tree with Mao on it.

Bush was a Saint among Libertarians compared to Obama's first 4 years.

JFK was the last great president. Obama has the charisma, but lacks the sheer will to make progressive social change.

He did a lot of domestic harm through deregulation. He was the reverse Robin Hood, passing laws that helped financial institutions gang up on working people.

Internationally, Afghanistan was killing the USSR, it was on the way down.

Reagan.

His presidency ushered in the Neo-Conservative movement, "Starve the Beast" tax cuts designed to deliberately increase government deficits in order for 20 years down the road demand WE MUST SLASH ENTITLEMENTS LOOK AT ALL THE DEBT! (That we created), he also promoted the service economy, a shit ton of horrible things in Central and South America that makes them hate us, promoted the rise of the 'moral majority', and he has furthermore ingrained himself as the Republican Messiah.

He was also a senile idiot.
