The Quinnipiac poll showing that Obama is now considered the worst president since World War II offers him no silver lining. There were 12 choices and the voting wasn’t close — he got the highest “worst” vote, 33 percent, with George W. Bush the next worst, at 28 percent.
Jimmy Carter, routinely mocked as a disaster, drew only 8 percent. Even Richard Nixon did better, seen as the bottom of the barrel by only 13 percent of those surveyed. And we know how Nixon’s tenure ended.
Too bad America didn’t come to its senses sooner. Indeed, the Q poll shows a huge amount of buyers’ remorse, with 45 percent saying Mitt Romney would have been a better president, while only 38 percent think Obama was the right choice in 2012. Mulligan, anyone?
And half of those work in media.

What makes it worse is that many people don’t even remember how bad Carter was. I do and he and Obama are neck to neck as easily the worst presidents ever. Bush’s numbers come from the Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) that the media and hollywood participated in for so many years regardless of facts. Obama probably should be regarded as the worst as he has done absolutely nothing while the world burns (remember Nero). Yet he has this unfounded arrogance that belies reality. Nobody can be this stupid and incompetent can they. Yet he does it day by day by day…
He deserves the accolade as worst ever but I think the percentage should upwards of 90%, IMHO.
I have been saying for years that Obama is the worst president ever. Nice to see my assertion confirmed.
If it any consolation to our AMERICAN SDA readers, Canada made a huge blunder many years ago by democratically electing Pierre Trudeau, a Liberal and closet communist as our Prime Minister.
It has taken years for Canada to recover TO BECOME THE BEST COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET in which to live under CONSERVATIVE rule with STEPHEN HARPER as our current Prime Minister!
We Canadians watch in horror as the UNITED STATES endures the exact same scenario now, while your current PRESIDENT OBAMA, leads the USA down the same path Canada trod under Pierre Trudeau years ago.
OBAMA, narcissist, socialist or worse, community organizing closet communist leading A GREAT free country down a path of sorrow!
I AM JOE MOLNAR IN CANADA AND I WISH OUR AMERICAN NEIGHBOURS THE BEST, despite your current path to DISMAY & SORROW AS A COUNTRY!!
David, Bush is a nice guy personally I presume, but as a leader of a nation he is not that great because he allows his religious beliefs (kompationate kristian) get in the way. He was elected to serve the people, not his “god”, end of story!!!!
Joe Molnar, the fact that Obumbles is a pathological narcissist should scare any one who is familiar with this type of personality disorder. (my one SIL is one)Ppl is here who quack about alinsky, communism, yada yada yada when discussing Obumbles don’t realize that being a pathological narcissist is the worst of the lot, they do not listen nor process any information that does not agree with their predetermined mind set.
“Obama is now considered the worst president since World War II….”
Whoopee, he’s black, so there will be airports, museums, and libraries named after him, along with very expensive statues in most university campuses across the US.
Grade school books heralding his brilliance will be mandatory in every classroom and he will be hailed as the best most influential president in global history – Short of Mao of course.
The democratic process in the US has been hijacked with only the delusion of a democracy. Yes Obama is bad but the policies are directed by higher powers now. Politicians are bought and paid for from both sides and the red vs blue debate is now just an illusion to pacify the masses in crony capitalist America.
George Bush was not a very good president when it
came to the political infighting necessary to gain the
respect of his visceral Democ-Rats enemies. He did
not eject all and even allowed many Clinton political
appointees to transfer into permanent slots in the civil
service on his watch. This smoothed the way for his
immediate priorities like Democ-Rat public bipartisan
support for the Gulf War, but at great future disadvantage
to his administration and great advantage for the following
Obama led crowd that took over.
Oh, just get it over with and blame the JOOOOOS.
The post-modern Americans are certainly no students of history.
Carter was impotent during the Iran crisis. Obama didn’t care when the American consulate in Benghazi was attacked.
Whatever faults Bush had, I cannot imagine his not caring about an attacked American mission or sitting idly by.
I suspect that Ontarians will be feeling buyer’s remorse in a year or two.

Just curious, could you please cite who the GREAT atheist leaders in history were/ are?
I predict by the time Obama is done even King George will poll higher.

Stalin comes to mind. Though it depends on your criteria for “Greatness”. It’s unlikely history will forget him.
Unfortunately Canadians seem ready to repeat their mistake and elect Trudeau Jr.

Yes, that is true.
I’m just trying to pick through NME666’s wisdom of the ages.
Seems like he has some sort of answer to replacing a “religious” leader with something else.
I’m guessing atheist, but outside of Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, and a few other mass murdering butchers of their own people, we seem to come up short on Little Bush.
It’s a descending series; overall each is regarded as worse than his predecessor, with only some standing above or below the general downward curve. I confidently predict that whoever gets the job next will during his/her term be tarred as the worst in US history, and at that point GWB will rise to third-worst etc.
People tend to be far more visceral toward history that happened in their own lifetimes, too, and a diminishing fraction of the population remembers Nixon. Ancient history is defined as anything that happened before my date of birth.
When Obumbles and his generalisimo Holder are impeached, CNN and the other MSM which pimped this treasonous constitutional usurper should be indicted as accessories.
US MSM is a bloody disgrace.
