I don't know about that
Remember that failed helicopter raid in 1980 to free the American hostages from Iran? That made the US look extremely foolish in the international eye, and happened under Jimmy Carter's watch. At least under the Obama administration, we went after, and eliminated, many top Taliban leaders, including Bin Laden. No, I don't think Obama's image will be immortalized on Mount Rushmore any time soon, but I also don't think he is the worst president in our nation's history either. Look up the history of Nixon, LBJ, Buchanan, Taft, Fillmore, Johnson . . . and you'll find many items that might have made the citizens of that time period exclaim that they were the worst president in history. It's all relative. And as for the current field of candidates, NONE OF THE ABOVE is looking better and better!
