That was unnecessary.

The edit or just looking at it.
It's not much of a issue anymore anyway, but I guess if it was I might as well remove it.

Every President has done that to some degree or another. FDR is a favorite of mine, but it's undeniable that he alienated an enormous number of people, and caused massive mistrust in the office in his early years...and he got re-elected more than any President in history (or the future, barring Constitutional amendment jiggery-pokery).

So a three percent excise tax on medical devices is ludicrous? Perhaps you're referring to increasing taxes on five percent of the population's income, while the other ninety five saw a reduction?

The foreign policy of the man who rains down hellfire missiles is ostrich like, indeed.

I'm not saying he's great, the point is, ranking him as second or even third ignores the fact he's still in office and the terrible, incompetent predecessors.

Taxes- http://countries.bridgat.com/Middle_East.html

Granted, the bottom one is a bit out of date, but I still think it's valid.

Foreign Policy- Fair enough. Perhaps "bone-headed," would be a better term.

Yeah, alright. He jumps out of the bottom five, then for me. Not that I have high expectations for his final two years.

... are you drunk? The Conservatives have a track record of fixing broken economies, not creating them. They're (wrongly) attributed with destroying various state programs and annoying unions (well, let's face it, most of them are stupidity in it's greatest form.)

Places I've lived:

Richard Nixon for United States
Justification: Backhanded politico who sabotaged peace in Vietnam for his own gain, and did countless morally unjust things against his own people.
Angela Merkel for Federal Republic of Germany (Hitler is a given, and I'm counting only Herr Adenauer to present day)
Justification: Oversaw the stunted growth of the European economy and continues to insist upon austerity measures although they have pretty much failed.
Tony Blair / David Cameron tie for my birthplace, Britannia.
Justification: They're both gits who have the political skills of a handicapped chimpanzee. At least Thatcher could light a fire under someone's arse...
