Most over-rated president

[Institutional Control]

We can do a poll but it's got to be Reagan, right?

Probably if you're liberal. But if you're conservative it's probably someone liberal.

I'm liberal but I think JFK would be a close second.

Has to be FDR. His policies are destroying the country.

It's James Buchanan and it's not even close.

I don't think he was ever highly rated.

I'd say FDR as well but mainly because his whole court packing ordeal.

Think if the supreme court overturned obamacare and then Obama was all like "Welp, I'm going to add 6 new justices and have them vote again"

JFK is over-rated. So is Reagan.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

Not sure what's behind the Reagan hate, but he did what Obama can't or won't do.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here.

Raise taxes?

All partisanship aside,  I could totally see Obama doing that.

Let me guess... you think Palin is really super smart and would have made a great vice-president

No, compromise and work with the other party to pass bills he may not like for the good of the country.

I think a rock would make a great vice president. They do nothing. Ever.

Has to generally avoid being in the same place as the President.  I think a 5 year old that is good at hide and seek would rock the position.

JFK was pretty bad. I guess he avoided war w/ the Cuba thing, but he also started the Vietnam war.

FDR:

-Set up the WPA after the great depression
-Established the SEC
-Established the FDIC
-Repealed Alcohol prohibition
-Established the minimum wage
-Social Security Act
-Oversaw defeat of Nazi Germany

So to sum up, he got us out of the great depression and through most of world war II.

Overall I would say pretty successful and rated right where he should be.

Yeah, but he was young, cool, good looking, and boned lots of hot chicks.

Has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative, has everything to do with a remarkable record... JFK was "liberal" and his only real accomplishment was to be elected as a catholic, he is largely overrated by historical standards. Open for retort and would love to hear the list of Reagan's astounding accomplishments.
