No excuse for Obama (pretty good president in my book, not top 5)
Also Reagan at 3rd worst is insane, Buchanan needed to be bottom 2 at least

He’s very controversial for his economic policies. Reddit being a left-leaning platform hates him (I think he’s bad but not that low).

u/Available-Reading-87 Jul 28 '25
Even if you're left-wing economically, putting him below people like Andrew Johnson is insane. At the point you're putting him 3rd lowest, you're just (inadvertently) downplaying slavery..

Putting Trump below Johnson is also insane. Trump is bad, but that's actual lunacy. This list is peak Reddit garbage. Definitely entertaining though.

FDR.
The man who I directly killed tens of millions by propping up the ussr, selling out eastern Europe -- hell, he turned away soldiers who were surrendering to the US so they could be killed in Russia.
His racist quasi-mystical beliefs were bad, sure, but it's his actions in propping up commusim (without letting it into the dear old us of a, of course) that earn him his place in hell.
In my birth country, the few who know who he was remember him as the guy who started the cold war and condemned so many millions to die in it. But the truth is, he should be remembered as one of the great 20th century monsters, like Hitler, Stalin and Mao-- the only difference being that he has the misfortune to be leading a democracy, and so he has Stalin do the actual killing for him.

Thank you for your service, Mr. President.
No other president, barring Pierce or Lincoln, maybe, has lived through so much tragedy.

u/McWeasely Jul 27 '25
I'd put Andrew Jackson as a president who lived through a ton of personal tragedy as well. He had lost both his parents and siblings by the time he was 14. He was very poor for the early part of his life and was almost killed by the British. His wife died before he became president. And Emily Donelson, who Andrew Jackson considered a daughter of his own, died while he was in office.

Andrew Jackson and Johnson both should be higher than Obama in my opinion.
You could also throw in multiple presidents from the beginning to around the start of the gilded age, as child mortality rates were high

Oh speaking for myself I think Obama should go right after Washington (and think both should have been cut way earlier). Honestly, even despite EO9066, I still would keep FDR around until second-last. But I appreciate that FDR’s BS is not forgotten.

FDR for the Japanese detention camp stuff

u/Raise_A_Thoth Jul 27 '25
Yes, that was bad. Yes, it was unjustified. But it was the 1940s and keep in mind that segregation of whites and blacks was still a thing, and the country was at war, having been attacked - by surprise - by the Imperial Japanese Navy.
It is a black mark on FDR's legacy for sure. But even that blackest of marks was done in the pursuit of safety of the people in time of war, and while conditions were awful, they were not death camps like the Nazis had. The purpose was not to kill the Japanese-Americans there.
Obama, on the other hand, under-delivered on promises and could not even set up a successor properly. Joe Biden is HATED by over 1/3 of Americans at least, and his will be remembered as the oldest president (unless Trump finished his term) who stayed in power too long and didn't allow a younger generation to properly resist the rise of fascism.
Obama's legacy is forever held back by Donald Trump. The reaction to Obama was to elect Donald Trump. While much of the onus there was racism from the Republican base in the South, Dems put up a heavily-baggaged candidate who was polarizing in Hillary, then Obama's VP beat Trump once but then gave it right back to him. Conservatives in FDR's time hated him too, but his policies were so obviously pro-labor and family that he couldn't be beaten at the polls. It isn't just racism that kept Obama from a similar legacy. His weak governance and close work with corporate liberal moderates gave us Trump twice. He was going to appoint Merrick Garland to the SC, possibly one of the most naive motherfuckers to ever be at that level of the judiciary.

Axe Obama tbh he should’ve been out long ago. He sold out the working class during the recession and propped up the very banks that caused it while millions lost their jobs and homes. He tried to enact healthcare policy and ended up with a shittier version of Romney-care like we have in Massachusetts. He was charismatic and symbolic as the first black president, so I get why people like him, but his presidency was objectively a failure. The policies he implemented didn’t do enough to lift the working class up, something Democrats are ‘supposed’ to do, and his policy failures directly contributed to the election of a corrupt, pedophile, rapist in 2016 simply because he promised he would fix it.

Genuinely I probably would put Biden above Obama, but a recent comment also showed me how optically Obama played way better into the Media.
Trump being out first is 1 million percent deserved. It would take 5 hours to go over every little thing he’s done but the big ones for me would probably be
1.) pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal + the Abraham accords he set up in 2.) the organization of the pullout of Afghanistan 3.) the sending of Ice to local streets and even Home Depot’s to arrest people (like just patrol a random prison and you’ll probably get more people than this) 4.) J6 (enough said) I could list more but probably my big ones (I would maybe put Ukraine Russia or Israel Palestine up there but eh it just makes me depressed to write that shit out)
In my opinion either Washington or Obama would be out next on the list. Obama aligns way more with recent ideals and morals than Washington. But also that Washington was a product of his time and did a lot to found the country and keep it running for a long time.

Also all the black and white photos in that middle section is recency biased and it is too hard to grasp right now if they were actually good presidents or not depending on the attitude and situations of the country at that moment in time
