Probably the worst president in nearly a century and a half. Led us into two failed, costly and pointless wars that disgraced America's global reputation, grossly violated the Geneva Conventions through torture, set up a massive Orwellian surveillance apparatus, was totally incompetent and lost control of his administration to the empire-building neocon lunatics be surrounded himself with, pandered to the Religious Right like no other president, implemented voodoo economics and presided over the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Easy 1 star.
You think he was worse then Hoover
Certainly.
At least Hoover worked his way up to become President.
What does that have to do with being president . Hoover created the worst economic crises in the nation history and did nothing about it, which could have knocked the country out and let to a Communist or Fascist Revolution .
Not to defend Hoover or anything, but he didn't create the Great Depression. Harding and Coolidge deserve more credit for that, at least as far as which presidents ought to foot the blame. Additionally many of the actions he took helped inspire the New Deal, so he at least gets a few points there. He certainly is not responsible for anything resembling the kind of destruction - both domestic and internationally - wrought by Dubya's presidency.
