That's unfortunate, because the "norm" that you and your fellow Keynesian cultists follow is actually the fringe. Cognitive dissonance doesn't make the truth go away, you know.
It stands to reason if Buchanan is on a list of worst presidents, Pierce would be right there with him. If Pierce had had his way, Cuba would have been part of the USA. JFK never would have had a missile crisis.
Would you give much credibility to a a listing of the best and worst presidents if the poll was handed out at a CPAC convention?

I would give Obama a bit more credit as definitely the most autocratic, dishonest and inept president in US history. The brain-dead liberals who vote for him represent the outcome of non-Darwinian human evolution where the weak and stupid survive.
