Who was your first-worst president?

In my very own personal humble individual opinion, compared to George W (Dubya) Bush, Nixon was the best president in the history of the universe. But Nixon was second-worst. (In my pointy little head, Dubya is what statisticians refer to as an "outlier" .... waaaaaay off the charts.)

Nixon was a crook who used the power of his office to lie and keep himself in power, but he was a competent President who did some great things in foreign policy (the SALT talks, normalizing relations with Communist China) and one or two good ones domestically (EPA! EPA!). The President whose name rhymes with "tush"--and I'd dearly love to kick him in it a few dozen times--lied and schemed to keep himself in power, but also to start a pointless and expensive war which killed thousands. He also was the most incompetent executive since Ulysses S. Grant.

@Annette: I was too young to vote in '68 or '72, but given the choices, I might well have voted for Nixon myself. :(

@Neurohart: Could you change the thread title to "Holy , Tricky *!", or would that be too naughty? It's a joke referring back to the infamous White House transcripts.
