Buchanan

[KaiserDave]

From his selfish political maneuvering under President Polk, to his so called "presidency" James Buchanan is our worst President.

[Former President tack50]

Andrew Johnson actually. Buchanan had to deal with a harder time to be president.

[Mr. Smith]

Buchanan.

Johnson. Buchanan may well have been more incompetent, but, from my perspective, his intentions weren't quite as malicious as Johnson's.

It's gotta be Buchanan.

Johnson was an active alcoholic known as Andy The Sot.

Buchanan was an awful President, but he might have been a better President if he had come to the office earlier in his career, which was "distinguished" in terms of the offices he had held.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

At the center of the intrigue was an urbane Charlestonian named William Henry Trescot, who had been serving for the past six months as assistant secretary of state. During most of that time, he had more or less run the State Department. The venerable secretary himself, Lewis Cass, was a crumbling monument to another age whom Buchanan had appointed as a sop to the North, which considered Cass a hero for his gallantry in the Michigan Territory during the War of 1812. Trescot was the administration's only high-ranking South Carolinian; he was also perhaps its only truly industrious and enterprising member. Two days after the presidential results came in, he called on Secretary Floyd at the War Department, bearing a purchase order for ten thousand muskets to be sent to his native state, which Floyd was happy to execute. As the Fort Moultrie confrontation began to take shape, Trescot took it upon himself to open a channel of private communication with South Carolina's governor, William Henry Gist, whom he kept apprised of the Buchanan administration's plans. ...

Floyd himself, while believing in the justice of slavery and loathing the Black Republicans, may not yet have been fully convinced that secession was in the South's best interests. Still, if hostilities did break out, he was in little doubt as to which side he would support. It was not difficult for the glib Trescot to maneuver him—and, through him, the president.

Buchanan.

Johnson was a poor President, but he gets too much grief because of the delusion that Reconstruction could've worked better had he not been President.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

welp, Buchanan sure won this handily.
