        At the time Nixon was the worst president ever. There hasn't been a better one since. They don't even come close.

        In 1973 were you saying "Nixon sucks but Fillmore was still worse"? Carter came after anyway. Just saying...

        Upon a second look, I now understand your timeline. Still, my earlier three picks were bigger dicks than @dick_nixon

        and...Regan, Clinton, Bush Jr and Obama are bigger dicks than Nixon. I like Ford & Bush Sr.

        43 deserves some credit for his classy handling of receiving the news about 9/11. At the same time 9/11 ruined his potential.

        43 is a much better person at his core than he is given credit. Prime Presidential timber is whole other discussion.
