Is Obama the worst president ever?

Shame and embarrassment have nothing to do with it. I don't take unnecessary risks to glorify my ego and indulge in vanity. Something you said you didn't need to satisfy either.

"How did this thread go from Obama to charity to identity theft?"
"First it derailed to Jimmy Carter, then to Jimmy Carter's charitable works, and then someone brought up their confidence in the weight of their own charitable works, and then a personal challenge, and then I brought up identity theft."
Since the topic was about the worst president, not bringing Jimmy Carter in the picture would have been a dereliction of duty.
If it deteriorated after that, blame the usual suspects. Perhaps myself included.
But, as a rule any and all threads are hi-jacked by the same people, sooner or later.

Sorry, YJ. I am sure moderators have their hands full without getting involved into the disputes between individual posters. Controlling the misbehavior by the posters is as much as they can handle.
Quite so. Plus, I am sure they have better things to do than get involved in petty disputes. I know if I am a moderator and somebody came to me with such an asinine request, I would tell him to get lost, in a pretty rude manner.
I didn't get it now, ironsides. I knew it all along, that is the official Republican line. The best presidents were Reagan, Bush, 2nd Bush etc.. The worst presidents have been Obama, Carter, Clinton, Kennedy, Johnson, FDR etc.

Right on!
That's why Candians get to be 2 years older... America's diet is garbage. Drug and alcohol use is abused too.
Not me though. I'm not going down that road. P90X! That is what I live by.
As far as privacy goes I have some personal pictures go, I have a bunch in my album that can be seen by at about 18 members of this forum and moderators...There might not be pictures of me because I'm usually holding the camera...but I don't hide who I am and the picture are not generics that can be found in travel magazines;-):lol:
"They said that about Harry Truman also. He turned out ok in the history books."
But he didn't start a war - he ended one.
Now, as for Bush ... well ...

As for Ford, he made the economy worse and supported Suharto who killed three times more people than did Saddam.
Right, Obama is the risk taker.
Do a little examination of the last decade and the amazing thing is America is still in one piece.
Obama is trying to put out the fires that the Bush adiminstration started all over the world while trying to deal with the social and economic devastation left behind in America itself after eight years of incompetence and corruption. He's made a sincere effort to meet the republicans halfway but has been almost entirely rejected. Wall Street clearly needs reigning in but the republicans are trying to block him there too.
As far as I'm concerned many republicans have come to the point where they think their party is far more important than the nation.

Barack Obama’s deep bow to the emperor of Japan and earlier bow to the Saudi Arabian king is so deeply offensive to America’s history and traditions that it cannot and must not be explained away in any fashion.
The framers of the U.S. Constitution were particularly sensitive to the conditions under which a President could serve or any hint that a privileged, monarchal class might emerge.
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States. And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of Congress, accept any present, Emolument, Office or Title, of any kind whatever from any King, Prince, or foreign state.”
It follows that no U.S. President or office holder shall ever bow to a king, prince or foreign state. Obama has done this twice now in less than a year of taking the oath of office. Stated or unstated, the protocol of such matters precludes bowing.
This protocol is reflected in flag etiquette that prohibits it from being “dipped to any person or thing.”
For a man who allegedly taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago, it is doubtful that Obama does not know this. It is doubtful that he cares. His first instinct with foreign leaders and foreign nations is to toady to their perceptions in the belief that America will gain their acceptance.
Any leader, however, knows that it is wiser to be feared than loved. It is the reason the U.S. maintains a powerful military. It is well to remember that our present Department of Defense used to be known as the Department of War.
That is why Ovbama’s decision to bring the 9/11 perpetrators to the United States and accord them all the rights of the Constitution in a trial for acts of war is a further abomination. This was not Eric Holder’s decision as Attorney General. This was Barack Obama’s decision, completely in line with his continued obeisance to Middle Eastern and Muslim sensibilities.
