Will someone research which party controlled Congress during the tenure of your worst presidents list.

I enjoy political discussion like this.   One minute "Its all the Presidents fault"!!  The next "Well you see the President doesn't have much control over that."

I tried to limit my criticisms to policy decisions that were actually a direct result of the sitting president rather than things like the economy as a whole, though I was probably slightly unfair to Coolidge in that respect. Hoover deserves all the criticism he gets because he just lacked the leadership to do anything at all to help this country through a very dark period.

I thought I would take Dlews idea and make it only since 1900 since no one really cares or knows about the presidents before then.(other than Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson)

My list
1. George W. Bush-Created the budget mess we are currently in, presided over a war that was started on false pretenses, caused the worst recession since the great depression.
2. Calvin Cooledge-caused the great depression
3. Jimmy Carter-terrible leader, the country lost faith while he was in office.
4 Richard Nixon-anytime you have to resign you make the top 5
5. George H. W. Bush-he really wasnt that bad but i needed someone to be 5 and he obviously sucked if he was voted out after only 4 years.

hey you idiot, poor people torpedoed our economy by taking out loans they couldn't pay back.  goodness, get a clue before posting

Here is a that proves who is truly responsible for the collapse.

.

I didn't watch your video.  Did it talk about Clinton and the Glass Steagall repeal?

No, but that was certainly part of the problem. Barney Frank is the central figure with lots of quotes claiming fannie and freddie are fine and need to buy up more bad loans so his constituents can get more home loans they can't afford.
