Grover Cleveland?

Okay, I'll bite. Why?

I'm a greedy selfish bastard, and damn proud of it.

You're not foolish enough to trust government, are you? Then think about this:

He was a "president," but not a US President.

Someone actually caught that? I didnt think anyone would take that seriousely. I thought he had a funny name, mostly. Another Democrat with a sex scandel too.

Cleveland's Legacy

Cleveland will be remembered for protecting the power and autonomy of the executive branch. His record-breaking use of the presidential veto earned him the deserved moniker of the "guardian President" and helped balance the power of executive and legislative branches. But he did not think that the President should propose legislation and he disliked using legislative solutions to address America's growing social and economic difficulties.

Hard-working, honest, and independent, Cleveland nevertheless had no real vision for the future. At most, historians tend to see his presidency as strengthening the power of the executive branch in relation to Congress and leading to the emergence of the modern presidency that began with Theodore Roosevelt.

Only posting within a narrow window of a few days, then I'll be offline again for a few more months. I'll write what I can, but dialup bites when I'm used to broadband.

I think Jack Nicholson was a horrible president. I mean, couldn't they have found someone else? Will Ferrell perhaps?

Wink Re: Worst President in US History?

Jimmy carter by far

While Carter's administration brought the U.S. some of its worst economic conditions in living memory - with soaring interest and inflation rates - his worst failing as President was in the realm of foreign policy.

His human rights policy led to human rights disasters in Nicaragua and Iran, where he facilitated the rise to power of Marxists and Islamist despots, respectively. Both of those new tyrannies far surpassed the brutality of their predecessors. T

he fruits of the Iran disaster are still very much with the United States today. If the U.S. would have supported the Shah or his successors, the history of the past 25 years in the Middle East would have been very different, and the Iranian people would have fared much better.

Moreover, the Soviet Union would have hesitated greatly over invading Afghanistan in 1979.

Carter's timid approach to international conflicts emboldened the USSR to extend its reach further into the Third World. By letting the Soviets know he would not respond if they invaded Afghanistan, Carter spawned a war that ultimately saw one million dead Afghans, five million displaced, and a situation of evil that nurtured the Islamic hatred and militancy that ultimately turned on the West and brought about 9/11.
