Since I have to observe the thirty-year rule (it takes thirty years or so after a president has left office to judge his performance fairly), I'd have to pick Harding. Although McKinley, Taft, Coolidge, Hoover, Nixon, and Ford were pretty bad too.

Harding.  What the heck's wrong w/ Reagan?
He set up the final end of the Soviet Union, reinvigorated capitalism, reestablished the US military and lowered taxes.  In Opebo land, those are all bad things.

Translations:

Set up the final end of the Soviet Union- talked a lot about how bad they were without actually doing much about it, then grabbed the credit (ask Lech Walesa how he feels about that);
Reinvigorated capitalism- let monopoly capitalists run wild and destroy the free-enterprise system;
Reestablished the U.S. military- ballooned military spending to irresponsibly high levels, much of it on unnecessary weapons systems;
Lowered taxes- he certainly did that, but while simultaneously increasing spending, thereby creating huge budget deficits.

Responding to liberalPA's post, I highly doubt that George W. Bush himself was responsible for the attacks.  It was probably the CIA and/or the banking interests that planned and carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.  Those groups have much more power than the President, in fact the President is a mere puppet to them.  This especially goes for the people who run the banking interests of this country (Rockefellers, Rothschilds, probably others).  The government carrying out the attacks does not mean that the responsibility falls on the President.  He for sure knew about it, but I would not say that he was completely and directly responsible.  Bush went along with it because he is only a puppet.  The real elite would have likely had him assassinated if he would not have gone along with it.

The CIA propped up al-Qaeda in the the 1980s during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.  Whether the government carried them out, or al-Qaeda, the US government is at least indirectly responsible for the attacks.

Your second paragraph makes a good point. Your first paragraph is ridiculous.
