That's insane. No president from the past 50-odd years (including Nixon) should even rank before people like Buchanan, Pierce, Harding or (Andrew) Johnson.
Edited, Sep 3rd 2010 9:07pm by Jophiel Sorry, I was only ranking the last hundred years at the time.
Aside from Kennedy, who fits in quite nicely with the four you gave also.
(Nixon wasn't a bad president, just completely without any sense of ethics whatsoever. But at least you
knew he was going to ***** you over.)

Seriously, the country probably would be recovering from WW3 had Kennedy not been assassinated - he was
that bad.
LBJ/JFK primarily because of Vietnam I'm assuming, so why not Bush/Bush for Iraq/Afganistan/etc?
I'm still not convinced those are going to come out as screwed up in the end as is being assumed. Get back to me in about thirty-five years (that being about how long it's taken for Vietnam to get out of the hole that it's been in).
And JFK
not because of Vietnam, but because of his complete ineptitude in handling things prior to that. If he hadn't been assassinated, there would have been a pretty good chance of full-on war against the USSR by 1980 (well, better than there was at the time).
