    The most ignorant & hated thug ever to be President.He is also a yellow-bellied coward who dodged the Vietnam war,not because he was an objector,but he was scared.

    Actually, President Harding was the worst. While President Bush has made, and is making, some bad mistakes, many of them were perpetuated by hardcore liberals and a few media outlets. The others quickly followed, making it "hip" to hate the president. Many people who "hate" President Bush really only mention one problem of the presidency, while failing to cite anything else. The reason being, most people don't know much of what they are talking about. Is President Bush the worst president of all time? Or did he just get hit with some of the worst circumstances of any presidency? Maybe a little of both.

    Mr. Bush is hated by the liberal nut jobs on the far left who see conspiracies where none exist. Lincoln was hated, too, for trying to keep the Union together and to free the slaves. Harding, I believe, had the Teapot scandal, and Hoover was in office when the Depression hit. Roosevelt made no friends when he sent Japanese Americans to internment camps during the second world war. But the most milquetoast of Presidents was good ol' Jimmy Carter. High inflation, stagflation it was called, the first oil crisis, the hostage crisis in Iran, keeping the US out of the 1980 Olympics, etc., etc., etc. Not the most hated, but history will have him as the most ineffective US President.

    No. I think already some of the lies and exaggerations about him are starting to come out. George Bush's problem was in shrugging them off as "just politics"...being from a political family....but they have been much more damaging. The lies about him and total misrepresentations have been just incredible....as well as gullible listeners who don't bother to check the facts at all. He should have had people out correcting them all along....but he just didn't think it was that important.

    If you were a person who followed closely, you could pick up the lies from the truth...but many people don't want to take the time....and just accept what they hear. A mistake these days!

    Right now, the media is hammering Hillary for lying, and ignoring a whole lot of them that Obama has said....and they are many! I wouldn't vote for either one...but we have a biased media....and it is pretty obvious at the moment.

    Not hated, but probably the most inept.

    I love it when he comes on the TV and mispronounces words and makes words up. Without him, a whole generation of comedians wouldn't have had such great material to work with!

    Yes

    No. We've had worse and will again. The people vote for them, so a little late to complain now.

    Considering what he had to work with..i.e..congress, the house..he aint done half bad...lol

    I think he already has that title. In Europe he has been voted the worst US president.

    Source(s): I have a lot of time on my hands so I researched it.
