Polarizing?
February 2, 2010I spoke with someone who said they saw Frank Luntz on TV saying that his polling has shown Obama to be more polarizing than either George W. Bush or Bill Clinton. He said that as a result of this, the magnitude of the GOP sweep could be greater than it was in 1994. I’d like to ask conservatives on here which President they dislike more, Barack Obama or Bill Clinton. My response would be that I dislike Obama’s policies more but dislike Clinton more as a person. I’d like to hear what all of you have to say.

If you’re only including the three Presidents you mentioned, I would rate Obama the worst, Clinton the best, and George W somewhere in the middle. Probably not the response you expected :-)

I dislike everything about Obama. Clinton, on the other hand isn’t as dispicable…then again, he is. Neither has a thread of moral fabric.

Let there never be any doubt, on so many levels, Woodrow Wilson is the worst president ever; from getting us into a war he promised not to; to ruining things at Versilles and causing subsequent worldwide problems in the 20th century; to taking away civil liberties at home; to beng closet sociast; not to mention that he was a racist of the worst sort.
In the book Recarving Rushmore (a Liberatrian assessment) Clinton actually does rather well, much better than both Bushes and Reagan. (Doesn’t take “sex with that woman” into account, but does give him credit for balancing the budget–with Republican help of course).
My top five are Washington, Cleveland, Eisenhower, Coolidge and–here’s a surprise–John Tyler, the first veep to become pres and a limited govt advocate whose efforts to control spending caused him to be virtually be ostracized by his own party (Whigs).
My five worst are Wilson, FDR, LBJ, W, and probably Buchanan.

Obama and Clinton are both despicable UN suck-ups and amoral curs. They have both contributed to the decline of this sovereign nation, Obama being the worst.
