I chose Carter. I think it's unfair to compare 19th century presidents with those in the modern era. For that matter, the early 20th century you could say the same thing. Also, when you go back beyond your own lifetime, you're relying on historians vs. your own living through the times. So that is a tough comparison too. In my lifetime, it's Carter no question. And based on what I know of history, I'd include the rest of the 20th century in that. Beyond that who knows. |

This is a hard poll to make because except Nixon the bad ones aren't very interesting.

You're just myopic in your hatred for Bush. We've had plenty of horrible Presidents. In fact, we've have more horrible presidents than good ones, and very few average presidents. We really haven't had very many good ones. As I survey the field, I doubt we've had more than five good ones.

How can you list James Polk? If not for he the Portland Trailblazers would all be speaking Spanish.

Tonya is a descendant? I'll give her credit for making ice skating marginally interesting for one year.
