A close run thing between Bush Jr. and Wilson, imo.

Wilson by a hundred miles. Reagan shouldn't be on this list.

The deficit? The War on Drugs? Social collectivism? Foreign interventionism on a scale greater than Vietnam? How utterly libertarian!

You know....just because the Left hates him, doesn't make it true necessarily. I can't recall Dubya putting political opponents in jail, for example.

Which political opponents were put there? Roll Eyes

^^^^

Obamaisdabest is insulting actual political opponents there. But I suppose he considers terrorists to be "political opponents" when a Republican is president...Roll Eyes

And when a Democrat is President.
