Worst 5 Presidents in U.S History?

I believe the worst was Bush. lol. no, but seriously. i believe the worst was James K Polk. What kind of man does it make you if you bully another country for its land, when it is weak? we teach our kids to not bully others, and there the u.s was, bullying weak countries into giving up land. They challenged everyone to war because we have the strongest military. What do you think? I also believe Andrew Jackson was a bad president for forcing the natives out of their land, THEIR HOMELAND. So what do you think are are the 5 worst presidents in U.S history

Worst five in my view (and in this order to me):

1. Carter (for the way he screwed the U.S. Military and he himself was Navy Academy graduate...another peaceful person with a two sided mouth piece)
2. Obama (Carter's second term and the economy is ruined - runs a "new energy" mouth piece while we still have a gas economy - "...it's the economy stupid"...)
3. Wilson (he brought a bible to a card game and lost the bet with the idiot 14 points)
4. Taft
5. Grant (corruption much worse than anything Nixon did)

My list important only to me,
Gerry

First, he grow to be stricken by Alzheimer's ailment so the question is extra precise to ask 5 motives Nancy Reagan grow to be the worst president in historic previous. 2d, he extremely wasn't surely the worst president in US historic previous. i imagine Andrew Johnson grow to be some distance worse. Reagan might want to of been extra effective with the monetary device on the time yet he grow to be an actor, and apparently did not receive any preparation in Economics. He did act like he recognize what he grow to be doing o.k..

Not sure about the bottom five but Bush 2 certainly is at the top (bottom?) of the list. I'd include Nixon on the list as well.

It's unfair to include Obama in any list of bad presidents as he's still in office. His legacy will be decided after he leaves office, not while he's in.

I'm with you on Polk, but I'd add Tyler; it was he who started the Texas annexation business, in a futile attempt to save his presidency.
Tyler, Polk, Buchanan, Bush II; I'm not sure who should be fifth.
(BTW, I also consider Tyler our worst _ex-President_: he ended his days as a Congressman-elect... of the Confederacy!)

Two of the worse that come to mind are Obama and Carter. Although, Carter is a very likable and honest man.
