Republican leaders from Illinois tried to convince Chicago football legend Mike Ditka to run for Senate in 2004, and Ditka said a few years ago that his decision not to run against Barack Obama was the "biggest mistake" he's ever made.





In a radio interview Thursday on WABC with Sid Rosenberg and Bernard McGuirk, Ditka reviewed Obama's presidency and said that the nation's 44th president has been the worst of all time.





"Obama's the worst president we've ever had.... Barack Obama's a fine man. I mean, he's pleasant. He would be great to play golf with. He's not a leader. This country needs leadership. It needs direction. It needs somebody that steps up front. We need somebody like Ronald Reagan."

Ditka said he believes there are a number of qualified presidential candidates currently running, but that he's leaning toward voting for Donald Trump.





"There's a lot of qualified people that are better than [Hillary Clinton]. That's what I'm trying to say. You know, you've got to pick your poison. Does Donald do everything right? No. The people that hate him, hate him, but people like him because he says things that resonate with what they think.... If I were to vote tomorrow, I'd probably vote for Trump."

Look at the demographic of the country. Ditka probably feels like Trump is speaking to/for him. And based on polls, so do a lot of other people who are in the majority of the population. Very interesting to watch play out.

that umemployment number is when you don't count people that "dropped out" the workforce
Gas has nothing to do with anything Obama did, if anything it dropped in spite of him stalling domestic drilling.

S&P also has nothing to do with the president.

Everything else is something you can legit give Obama credit for.

They're all things that people blame the president for when it's bad. So right or not I'm crediting him for it.
And I could go on
