The Worst Ever?

My personal favorite President is Honest Abe Lincoln (followed by Washington, who could have been King but refused. Also, FDR beat the Nazis and Reagan faced down the Commies, so they're up there too). As for the worst President,

At a time of national crisis, [Presidents] Pierce and Buchanan, who served in the eight years preceding the Civil War, and [President] Johnson, who followed it, were simply not up to the job. Stubborn, narrow-minded, unwilling to listen to criticism or to consider alternatives to disastrous mistakes, they surrounded themselves with sycophants and shaped their policies to appeal to retrogressive political forces (in that era, pro-slavery and racist ideologues). Even after being repudiated in the midterm elections of 1854, 1858 and 1866, respectively, they ignored major currents of public opinion and clung to flawed policies.

Remind you of anyone?
