My favorite is Abraham Lincon, closely followed by FDR. Whats yours?
Lincons legacy is approaching 150 years now. Divisiveness without bounds, hundreds of thousdands of americans killed for absolutely NO reason, whatsoever. Bitterness still remaining to this day. A nations laws and constitution totally fuked up beyond all beleif. And no it had absolutely NOTHING to do with slavery, just Lincons ineptness. Grant once said" if the civil war was about slavery, he would have had nothing to do with it".

Abraham Lincoln was easily the worst US president ever. The monster initiated a war, which killed nearly one million Americans, for merchantilism and essentially staged what amounted to a coup d'etat via waging his unecessary war, and again in the 1864 election. Lincoln set the stage for the leviathan state we deal with today.

Your second choice is accurate as well, Franklin Roosevelt, was easily the worst president in the 20th century; Clinton isn't even in the running when you consider FDR, Wilson, or Johnson all of whom were much worse. F.D. Roosevelt magnified what Lincoln began by several magnitudes; giving us the grossly unConstitutional Social Security ponzi scheme, and other modern problems almost too numerous to list here. See
The Roosevelt Myth by genuine conservative and America First Committee founding member John T. Flynn. Note that this book was written in 1949 by a man that opposed Roosevelt throughout the 1930's. Also take a look at
The New Dealers War: FDR and the War Within World War II by hard core genuine conservative Dr. Thomas Fleming of the Rockford Institute. For a broader overview of American history, see
The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History by Dr. Thomas E. Woods Jr..
Best presidents? Though far from perfect, that would go to
Martin van Buren and
Calvin Coolidge.
I look forward to the day that a US president manages to be better than my two choices above.
