The names that come to mind for me are James Buchanan (probably #1), Herbert Hoover, Millard Fillmore, Jimmy Carter, Warren G. Harding, Harry Truman, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, Calvin Coolidge, Richard Nixon
If I had to give a top 5 it would be
1. Buchanan 2. Pierce 3. Coolidge 4. Truman 5. Carter |

| The main reason I have Truman on here is because he's entirely at fault for the Cold War |

the cold war was inevitable. the US had been at odds with communism since the russian revolution, and the russians likewise
see: arkangel raid, red summer 1919
truman sucks because he committed genocide and war crimes |

The Cold War would have never been as influential as it was if Truman wasn't hard headed and could compromise, and if he didn't basically gave a big "F U" to the Soviet Union
Truman also f**ked up in handling the distribution of Germany's zones, and Soviet aggression, which obviously escalated into a much larger problem later |

"The Cold War would have never been as influential as it was if Truman wasn't hard headed and could compromise,"
what would they compromise about?
"and if he didn't basically gave a big "F U" to the Soviet Union"
i'm not sure what you're referring to
"Truman also f**ked up in handling the distribution of Germany's zones,"
the distribution was decided at the yalta conference, under FDR
"and Soviet aggression,"
the major act was the blockade of berlin for allied forces, which lead to the marshall plan, which was regarded as a success by historians
"which obviously escalated into a much larger problem later"

Also, just a note before I leave that on polls taken from C-SPAN, ABC, Washington College, Gallup, Rassmussen, and from notable historians all combined
JFK and Reagan never drop farther than 4th as the greatest presidents in U.S. history, and both have the highest favorability to unfavorability ratio of any other presidents |

"JFK and Reagan never drop farther than 4th as the greatest presidents in U.S. history, and both have the highest favorability to unfavorability ratio of any other presidents"
that's an opinion poll, it's pretty much the amount of people who agree with them rather than those who stand back and criticize them
JFK escalated the vietnam war from intervention to war |

Reagan didn't "invade" Grenada. I would know since my dad is Grenadian and some of his friends were actually put in jail for publicly undermining the rule of Maurice Bishop. Nobody in Grenada wanted a communist government. He seized power from the Prime Minister, tortured and abused Grenadian citizens, and was a tool in general. Grenadians were thankful to Reagan for overthrowing Bishop. Only recently did his daughter seek forgiveness and issue an apology for her father's atrocious behavior.
If Reagan didn't overthrow Bishop I wouldn't even be alive today |

"Reagan didn't "invade" Grenada."
strange, because every history book refers to it as "the invasion of grenada"
"I would know since my dad is Grenadian and some of his friends were actually put in jail for publicly undermining the rule of Maurice Bishop."
except maurice bishop was already dead before the USA invaded
"Nobody in Grenada wanted a communist government."
actually, they did. he increased women's and worker's rights, and fought against apartheid. they didn't want hudson austin's military government
"He seized power from the Prime Minister, tortured and abused Grenadian citizens, and was a tool in general."
as did hudson austin and bernard hoard, who are the real reason the USA invaded
"Grenadians were thankful to Reagan for overthrowing Bishop."
austin*
"Only recently did his daughter seek forgiveness and issue an apology for her father's atrocious behavior."
have you read her apology, or are you just saying things?
http://www.belgrafix.com/gtoday/2008news/Jan/Jan12/Nadia-Bishop-speaks-of-forgiveness-and-reconciliation.htm
she's asking the grenadan people to forgive those who killed bishop and austin
" truman had the guts to drop the bombs"
it's cowardice to commit genocide
"he took out macarthur which was a smart move"
he took out macarthur because macarthur was going to drag the USA into a nuclear war without truman's permission |

just so you know, 83 out of 109 UN countries voted that the invasion of grenada violated international law. the USA vetoed it
"it ended the war but he could've just dropped it on bases"
1. if he had to use them, he should've dropped them on bases. he chose civilians 2. the US strategic bombing survey 1945 concluded that dropping the bombs was unnescessary for victory against japan |
