Have there been any presidents worse than Obama?
Don't just say "NO" because everyone hates Obama...have there actually been any presidents that put the country in a worse place than Obama has?

Bush comes close with his costly wars and out of control spending (the same spending Obama chastised him about in the campaign). But, considering that Obama has added $10T in debt and proposes budgets that are so bad that his own party won't pass them AND hasn't had a budget since 2010, I'd say Obama may be the worst.

I believe that although I don't care for Obama you have to think of things through the presidents perspective. Imagine being in
charge of the entire united states which is filled with a variety of different people that all want and need different things so tell me how one person can make millions happy it doesn't make sense and come on its not like we're in other countries afraid for our lives in a day to day basis majority of us are fed clothed clean and healthy what else do we need

Well I admit I didn't know ALL the presidents but I do know a lot about the Founding Fathers that wrote our Constitution and I know their intent was to make and keep this Nation Free and free from tyranny. I know they were opposed to a monarchy and I know we fought England to preserve the right to worship or not worship as we choose. I know they gave us the right to Freedom of Religion, no freedom from religion. I know that this Nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and that there was very little crime, families stayed together and raised good families, families who worked to build a better life because the government was not imposing impossible obligations on them or demeaning them by saying they 'did not build the businesses' that they did build from blood, sweat and tears. I know that our children learned our Constitution and that our children prayed in school and pledged allegiance to the United States of America. I know that people immigrated to the U.S. legally to free themselves from overbearing and freedom stealing governments, that they came here to work hard and build a better life for themselves and their families.
I believe there were incompetent presidents but Obama is the first president who wants to deprive it's citizens of their freedoms, who based their entire presidency AWOL campaigning, golfing, playing basketball and vacationing. In my lifetime there has never been such a corrupt administration. The blatant lies, slander, hateful and divisive language that come from Obama and the Progressives and media are a National disgrace.

I don't think so. Carter was ALSO not qualified. Left our people hostage in Tehran, Reagan took care of that RIGHT AWAY! Carter also left Reagan ("80") with a recession. It took Reagan two years, but in the first quarter of his third year the GDP hit 6 percent! The next six years were very good economically. However, although I did not vote for Carter, I liked him as he was honest. In recent months, Obama has lost my respect.

Yes, bush. I think regan banned marijuana so him too. Not because I'm a pot head but hemp ( made from weed ) is a more environmental and cheaper product for paper and other materials. Obama is a considerably awful president but he supports gay rights and is helping legalize marijuana, he could be better, but he could be worse. Him compared to our current presidential candidates then Obama has my vote.

George W. Bush. George Washington left office right as the country hit its major speed bumps in development. If you want to count that.

I'd say start with the last guy who screwed up so bad that we went out and voted for the current president. There's your answer right there buddy.

There have been several. One in particular was the former President. Before him we had the joke pf a President, Ronald Reagan. Grant was not particularly good, and Hoover was kind of a wash.

Carter, Ford, LBJ, Hoover. I would say Nixon for being a crook but his foreign policy was awesome.

No everyone does not hate the President.
