Barack Obama may have been out of office for two years but he’s still bringing home the accolades and awards. He just landed the coveted spot as the worst president since WWII, blowing away the competition. For a guy whose sad legacy has all but been erased by President Trump, it has to feel pretty good that the history books will remember him after all. If he really puts in the work, he may be able to claim worst president in United States history, period. I know he’s really lazy and all, but that might help cement his place at the top of the heap.
Quinnipiac University conducted a national poll recently and for some reason it was all about Obama. People were asked to rate all of the presidents since WWII and Obama didn’t fair so well.
Which of these twelve presidents we have had since World War II would you consider the worst president: Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Senior, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or Barack Obama?
Barack Obama – 33%
George W. Bush – 28%
Richard Nixon – 13%
Jimmy Carter – 8%
Lyndon Johnson – 3%
Ronald Reagan – 3%
Bill Clinton – 3%
Gerald Ford – 2%
George Bush Senior – 2%
Dwight Eisenhower – 1%
Harry Truman – 0%
John Kennedy – 0%
Bill Clinton sexually assaulted numerous women and was impeached, yet Obama beat him by 30 points. Obama even topped Bush Jr. which I’m sure Obama will blame on Bush, like he did for all of his presidency.
Then there was this slap in the face:
Do you think Barack Obama has been a better President than George W. Bush, worse, or about the same as President Bush?
Better – 39%
Worse – 40%
And this kick in the nuts:
In the Presidential election of 2012, if Mitt Romney had become President instead of Barack Obama, do you think that, in general, the nation would be better off than it is today or worse off than it is today?
Better off – 45%
Worse off – 38%
On the flip-side of that coin, very few people thought that Obama was the best president since WWII:
Thinking about the United States Presidents we have had since World War II: Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Senior, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, which one would you consider the best president?
Ronald Reagan – 35%
Bill Clinton – 18%
John Kennedy – 15%
Barack Obama – 8%
Dwight Eisenhower – 5%
Harry Truman – 4%
Lyndon Johnson – 3%
George Bush Senior – 3%
Jimmy Carter – 2%
Richard Nixon – 1%
Gerald Ford – 1%
George W. Bush – 1%
Here Obama comes in forth, but with only 8% of the people thinking he was the best, it’s still mighty sad. Ronald Reagan takes the top honors because…f*ck yeah, he was the best. The only thing that doesn’t make any sense is Bill Clinton’s ranking. The dude is a rapemonster!
The poll also asked respondents to rate Obama’s qualities and he still came up smelling like a turd:
Would you say that Barack Obama – is honest and trustworthy or not?
Yes – 48%
No – 48%Would you say that Barack Obama – has strong leadership qualities or not?
Yes – 47%
No-51%
The exciting thing here is Obama has finally achieved something. For guy that’s been subpar his entire life, it turns out he’s really good at being horrible. Even better, he made being the worst president in the modern era look effortless. All he had to do was nothing to beat out liars, crooks, racists, and sexual predators to get the top (bottom) spot. Imagine where he’d be if actually tried.
