re: #6 lawhawk

I grow really tired of the GOP nonsense that Obama is the “worst president ever”. GW Bush is a far stronger contender for that title, although GW Bush actually doesn’t even come close.

President James Buchanan is the worst president ever, and is most unlikely to ever lose this position. Dithering while the country descended into civil war is a tough act to beat.

For extra special idiocy points, Buchanan was apparently in improper correspondence with SCOTUS justices as they were considering the Dred Scott case. Not only did Buchanan pressure a Northern judge to join with the majority to avoid a 5-4 decision split exactly along sectional lines, Buchanan also had the nerve to express in his inaugural speech the fatuous hope that the Supreme Court decision would settle the slavery issue.

So GOPers and GOP apologists, exactly how in all the flaming hells is Obama supposed to be worse than this?
