Ronald Reagan, he started the Americans down the road to destruction.
His trade deals his deregulation and his lack of leadership. He was a
voice and that is it.

Yes... covering up a third rate break in over the NSA, IRS, Benghazi scandals... what a prince our current POTUS is.

Harding is up there as one of the worst. I'd give first place to James Buchanan. Half the country took off while he was in office and he did absolutely nothing. Half the country tried to take off on his watch and he didnt lift a finger. Just passed it off to the next guy. The mess Obama inherited was nothing compared to the one Lincoln got. People can hate Obama or Bush jr all they want - but the country was still in one piece when Bush left and I imagine it will be when Obama steps down.

Indeed, he was a bit of a jerk and covered stuff up but a number of good things happened under his administration too. I would not say he was one of the worst.

Not even close to the worst. He resigned covering up a break in of the DNC at Watergate. That was his black mark. Geez... compared to the current POTUS Nixon is a Saint.

Warren Harding is an 'interesting guy'. Horrible choices for his cabinet and senior bureaucrats,( like Ulysses s Grant before him). Personally flouted Prohibition- but kept the laws in place.

Flashes of brilliance- such as his defiance of the Klan in Atlanta, when he opposed the Jim Crow laws.

Nah, Ronnie was probably the best since Harry Truman or Ike. J.F.K. was probably the most over rated!

The mythos around him is definitely overblown but I dont think he was over rated though. His handling of the Cuban Missile crisis saved us from a nuclear war.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife, Cherie Blair (nee Booth), is the great-great-great-granddaughter of John Wilkes Booth, the guy who assassinated Abraham Lincoln.
