Bottom of the Barrel
28th December 2010
We can make our own Top Ten list of presidents, but let’s start at the bottom, since we live in an upside-down world. Personally, I don’t think Obama is the worst president in history. So far, he’s about average, in terms of badness. In choosing the worst, there are many good candidates, but I vote for Woodrow Wilson. Betrayer of the Jefferson-Jackson-Bryan tradition in the Democratic Party. Enemy of racial equality. Opponent of woman suffrage. Architect of centralized government. Bellhop of Wall Street. Father of the Federal Reserve. Enthusiast of World War I. Violator of civil liberties. Champion of the League of Nations. Mentor of Franklin Roosevelt. The damage he did to the nation and the world was immense.
