What You Get When You Elect an Extremist: Obama Fourth Worst President

The recent turmoil in Libya and consequent upswing of oil prices have serious ramifications for the US economy. Obama has either fumbled his way to an attack on the oil industry, or he and the oil industry are working together to push up prices.  Either way, Obama's performance has been so bad that it is worse than Bush's.  As someone interested in reforming the GOP, Obama's performance is discouraging.  The public is going to take any Republican, even George W. Bush, over the president who is single handedly destroying the American way of life and the American economy.

One would think that while Obama's policies have harmed global oil supply, he would raise exploration and development of domestic sources. But he has done the reverse. He has cut back on domestic supply while his incompetent foreign policy decisions have reduced global supply.  The failure of Obama's energy and Middle East policies directly follow two years of incompetent handling of the US economy, massive monetary expansion and passage of a destructive health care law.

The eight worst presidents in American history, starting with the worst, are:

(1) Lyndon Baynes Johnson
(2) Abraham Lincoln
(3) Woodrow Wilson
(4) Barack Obama
(5) Theodore Roosevelt
(6) Franklin D. Roosevelt
(7) George W. Bush
(8) Richard M. Nixon

Of course, Obama has two years to go. What new incompetent steps will O bring to bear on American society? Time will tell.
