If all this thread is about is popularity, the thread title is obviously wrong. Lincoln holds that title. A president whose election to office caused the entire southern half of the country to rebel and attempt to form a separate country must have been pretty darned unpopular. Seems self-evident that Lincoln is the most unpopular by simple comparison: No other such monumental event had ever occurred before, nor has it ever occurred since.
Jimmy Carter the worst president in my lifetime.
Yep, And Jimmy Carter was a much worse president than W., I remember my first mortgage 15% fixed thanks to Jimmy's great management of the economy. Under W. I refinanced at 5% fixed for 15 years (not the same house).
Jimmy invented Stag Flation, thats inflation and a recession at the same time!!! Jimmy also HELPED the Ayatollah take over Iran which is the source of many problems we have today. Jimmy let the Jihadis know that we were a paper tiger a JOKE when they invaded our embassy and held our citizens hostage for the whole world to see, and he did nothing but roll over and cry. Jimmy was also the source of many of our prblems with Iraq, Sadaam was our friend prior to Jimmy's administration.
Jimmy deregulated the Savings and Loans with no govt oversite, opening the way for the S&L disaster. Do you remember standing in line for An hour on the odd/even (based on license plate numbers) day for Gasoline and finding when you got to the pump that they were out of Gasoline? I do that was 1979. Also 8% unemployment. Its why we only elected him for one term. People get really pissed when they get laid off, the price of everything doubles, interest rates make it impossible to afford a home, and there is no gasoline to fill your car with.
Jimmy was so bad he only held office for one term, and even after Nixon this country was ready to elect a Republican for the next 12 years after that.
Many of you folks posting here were in diapers then but ask your parents they remember.
When I look at Barrak Obama I see another Jimmy Carter.
A very smart likeable guy, who is an unrepenatant socialist, and doesn't have a clue about how to run this country. His answer for the mortgage crisis ( which is more of an adjustment) is to freeze interest rates, the worst thing you could possibly do unless you want to cause a major recession and a huge liquidity crisis.
Its shows he has no understanding of economics finance and the banking system at all.
He also wanted to invade Pakistan to get Bin Laden, wow destabilizing a friendly country with 100 working nuclear warheads and missiles to deliver them, and giving it to Islaamic radicals sounds like a great idea to me if you are looking to alienate, India, and the rest of the Muslum world more than we have already and possibly start WWIII.
