Top 5 worst U.S. Presidents.

[Rooney]

I do not rank presidents. I have one or two whom I find to be effective but as a libertarian I find that all have transgressed. Furthermore, lists of "good" or "bad" presidents are rarely based off of something of fact that can be measured (such as GDP, production rates, strength of the dollar, inflationary rates) because history is not a fact based study most of the time. History is strongly influenced by personal opinions and personal favorites. My own list of the 5 worst presidents would be mocked by all and so I will not show it. Furthermore, my own list could probably be critiqued to hell and I see no reason to argue it.

I truly wish historians would stop the needless exorcise of listing presidents. Their lists reflect nothing but personal opinion and thus they are useless to any academic study of the presidency.
