Reagan probably had more negative impact than any of them, but he did some good too.   Bush didn't really do anything helpful, so it's a toss-up I guess.

Note: I know pretty much nothing about presidents before I was born, and don't really care either.

Aside from Vietnam (lol), he is probably one of the greatest.  Also Nixon committed treason to keep the war going under his watch, so I almost give him a pass in a weird way. 


Maybe Hayes because his election is rumored to have been leveraged with the removal of Federal troops from the south.  I'd also have to put Andrew Jackson in the running because of his all out illegal assault on Native Americans in Georgia as President.

Explain.

Remember, I was old enough to watch and understand when what was happening when the helicopters were taking off and landing on the roof of the embassy in Saigon.    One of the reasons that was happening in 1975 and not earlier was Nixon.   The reason it was happening at all was LBJ.
Look at the picture. Tapatalk attributed the quote to the wrong person, so it looks like you are having a major disagreement with yourself.

So because you think Nixon committed treason to "keep the war going" you'd almost give LBJ a pass.   Yet it was LBJ who rolled a half a million troops into Vietnam based upon a false flag incident, and then handed over what would be billions of dollars worth of contracts today to his political creators who would eventually become part of Halliburton (sound familiar?).   A war that nearly started a civil war in the United States, ripped the country to shreds politically and killed over 50K Americans and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, and destabilized the region for years upon years to come killing millions more.   Fascinating. 

There are also some who would argue Nixon was one of our greatest presidents except for,  you know, that whole secret bombing and break-in issue.
I said I would almost give him a pass, not that I would, ultimately he made the decisions as C&C.  Its an interesting counterfactual to contemplate how the war would have run, and ultimately how it would be viewed if we actually had 'peace with honor' and 20k more service people coming home whole.

Also it really makes you look silly when you call the Tonkin incident a false flag operation.  For starters its not a false flag operation because US forces did not act or impersonate NVA forces in the 2nd attack on the Maddox.  So just by the basic operation of the phrase you're off.  In reality though there was an attack on the first day, that is pretty much without dispute. Now the 'good' history now points to a failure of systems and a political machine chomping at the bit to exploit those failures into their own justification for armed conflict.

You make an interesting point about the expansion of the military industrial complex.  I don't remember if it was NPR or BBC had piece some months back about the history of the MIC, where they did a great job of explaining that the military wasn't necessarily the driver of the system but rather politicians in congress looking for every kind of program for defense contractors in their home districts and bases to be opened which really caused a lot of bloating in the armed forces.

I love "________________ happened to be president when . . ."  statements.

Richard Nixon happened to be president when some people broke in to Watergate Hotel.

Bill Clinton happened to be president when according to Ms. Lewinsky, she performed oral sex on the President on nine occasions. On all nine of those occasions, the President fondled and kissed her bare breasts. He touched her genitals, both through her underwear and directly, bringing her to orgasm on two occasions.

George W. Bush happened to be president when the United States suffered the worst attack on American soil since Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

I think it's funny that when you ask your average "patriotic" American who the best president is, they always go with the guy that was also an actor.


Would Ron Prince be one of the most loved presidents?  Probably loved no more or less than the president that kills millions of brown people with foreign policy, destroys civil rights through spying on citizens, dumps billions of dollars on big business while simultaneously raping medium and lower class citizens with hidden taxes,  incarcerated more non-violent criminals than any president in history, but makes up for it with liberals by getting teary eyed over Trayvon Martin or publicly stating he supports same sex marriage.

you are off your rocker if you think John Adams is the worst president.  he wasn't perfect - the Alien and Sedition Acts were certainly constitutionally suspect (although we didn't have judicial review yet so "constitutionally suspect" didn't mean a whole lot).

Also - he was a one term president because he lost to Thomas Jefferson.  It's not like he got beat by Rick Perry or something.
