Obama was the last worst president. All I have to do is look up "Obama worst president ever" to find several pages of articles on that subject. And before him certainly of course Bush and Bush derangement syndrome. See I think part of forgetting the past and being doomed to repeat it, is to keep getting apoplectic over each rehashed event in history.


Being that Obama had brought the economy back from the edge caused the Bush years, and giving healthcare to millions of Americans who had never had it before, I have to ask what you have against Obama.
I might add, the Obama administration had never had so many resignations and criminal indictments and convictions among his people as Trump has had. And it'll only get worse when the Mueller report comes out.


And yet there are many articles citing that he was a bad president. The worst president ever. The point of what I'm saying is the pattern of reputation. My guess is you were just as upset over Bush. Although it probably doesn't seem like it to you now since it's water under the bridge.

Articles in what periodicals? If they have a political slant to the far right, I hardly think the conclusions they draw are hardly unbiased.
As far as Bush is concerned, he had left the economy in the toilet by letting the financial giants get away with murder. I think my judgement of Bush is justified, though if I had to choose between him and Trump, I'd definitely choose Bush. And if the truth be told, as the Obamas have developed a close friendship with Bush and his family, my feelings toward Bush have softened.
Incidentally, Trump had been bashing Bush even longer than he's been bashing Obama.

The point is whoever is the current president is the worst president according to many. And also current events are the worst ever. Then we get a new president and a new set of current events to be the worst ever.

I'm willing to accept that who is the worst President is a matter of opinion. But some opinions are more dependent on facts than others.

Seems more like there's preference for bias and sensationalism rather than facts.

Most Americans are getting rich.

All you have to do is own a home.

A home is not meant to make you rich, it's meant simply to live in; a new estate bubble, maybe?

I think so.

Yes, very often. But there are also indisputable facts. There are no such things alternative facts.

Headlines are always 'The Worst Storm Ever is due to Strike Britain' then it's three snow flakes and one dustbin
