How can a person not add Bush into this race? Especially since he is directly the reason we got Obama and since Biden was his VP you can lay Biden at Bush's feet. Add in the housing/banking crash. The trillion in a needless war along with the loss of life. Over a trillion (1.4) spent and over 115 billion yearly along with government police....homeland security. Maybe the worse of all the Patriot Act
To me in damage to this country over the long haul Bush is easily the worse in my lifetime
The housing bubble and bank crash happened while Bush was there, but the practices that led to it dated back 20+ years with both banks and govt encouraging sub prime loan making things worse, Prez Carter spoke of more subprime loans when he was president. The first crash happened under Carter which was housing/savings n loan.
Carter, Bush 1, and Clinton share the blame with W.
Reagan, and Obama were left with the 2 disasters.
As for the worse in my lifetime
I will rank them worse to better.
LBJ, Biden, Carter, HW Bush, Obama, W Bush, Clinton, Trump, Reagan.
Clinton actually turned out to be good because of conservative house and senate, who's spending restraints along with selling homes bought under Reagan (savings n loan mess left from carter) I remember Kennedy being killed, but not him as prez.
From what I do know, I would put him in top 3 or 4 on my list.
