Who do you believe are the worst Americans of all time?

Be prepared to defend your choices! I'm expecting a lot of "George W. Bush for being a stupid dum dum head," so make sure you can stay and defend your choices.

This is not a concrete list (actually, I'm going to pick some controversial figures for the sake of debate) but here, in no particular order:

FDR- For pretty much becoming a dictator during WWII, not to mention mishandling it.
Nathan Bedford Forrest- For starting the KKK.
Joe McCarthy- For his overzealous crusade against Communism.
U.S. Grant- For being a terribly ineffective president, especially after the Civil War.
Robert McNamara- For mishandling the Vietnam War.
Malcolm X- For undoing what MLK JR III did by supporting violent miltantism.

I can't think of any more bad Americans at the moment, but I'll let you guys have a go.

LoL what i mean is depending on the person GW can be bad or good...but you see for those who are more wealthy, GW is the right president because he can secure their wealth: mostly only for the super wealthy though, but most like the middle class such as myself: we get screwed over with everything...

it's also scary since because of him we have soldiers coming to my school to enlist people... which i feel is totally wrong since people are dying for this useless war sad.gif

ah, I was right...i'm not good at this debating thing...i don't like it really... pinch.gif
