  You want history?

  The biggest failure as President was Jefferson Davis, but it wasn't his fault.

  In U.S. history, James Buchanan...

  During my lifetime, Jimmy Carter...

  Both were wishy-washy and passive in the face of challenge (Buchanan in the face of slavery and the rising Confederacy and Carter on galloping inflation and an emerging radical Iran)

  May you all have peace!

  In light of the words of the Declaration of Independence (i.e., "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...") and various amendments of the Bill of Rights (to the U.S. Constitution), I would say, IMHO:

  WORST:

  1. Any U.S. President, from George Washington to James Buchanan... who allowed/perpetuated African slavery, in light of the purpose, spirit, and words set forth in the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights; and

  2. Any U.S. President from Rutherford B. Hayes... who started Jim Crow... and all those who came after him who allowed/further perpetuated it... in light of the purpose, spirit, and words of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.

  BEST:

  1. Ulysses S. Grant, who fought, literally, to end slavery; and

  2. Lyndon B. Johnson, who eliminated Jim Crow, literally, with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

  For those who would disagree, I would argue... without regard to any spiritual or religious realization... that "when one member of the body suffers, the entire body suffers." This entire country has suffered as a result of that institution and its aftermath... and in some ways suffers yet today. And in addition to the domestic problems that are a result, we don't have the full respect of the world that we could have had we done "right" toward our own. We showed ourselves as hypocrites and not even discreetly. And still do, today. We may not all want to acknowledge and admit this truth but it's evident: this country's "sons" have paid dearly... and are yet paying... for the "sins" of its "fathers."

  Okay, those who don't like having a light beamed on this particular piece of truth can turn of your lamps and go back into the dark, now. But someone did ask.

  A slave of Christ,
