Who do you think is the most overrated / underrated president?

[hayesc0]

First off the question was overrated/underrated not who was the best/worst president. I'm posting under the assumption that people think Nixon was a pile of dog turd and FDR is top 3 DOA.

Y'all don't even know anything about Nixon. You just hear his name go "lol Nixon cac rethug"

- Ended Vietnam War (please note we haven't even ended Iraq/Afghan Wars yet)
- Thawed relation with China
- Established the EPA
- Desegregated Schools
- Presided over the moon landing
- Implemented the "Philadephia Plan" (the first major federal affirmative action plan)
- Clean Air Act
- Formed OSHA

He has negatives too of course, but that's a pretty solid list of accomplishments for 5.5 years.

I dont give a fukk about fdr lol im laughing because its no surprise you would pick the most racist of the modern presidents as underrated.

You cac he ended vietnam by force... He had to. He escalated the bombings and the entire war in general. He didnt desegregate schools that was court ordered and mandated since the 50s. This is so mind bogglingly misleading.

Who cares how, he ended the war.

The court order in the 50's had hardly been implemented. He did it.

Since you told me to do a wiki search. Here you go:

Ronald Reagan is the most overrated president and it aint close.

This. It's crazy how the GOP has blown him up into a Messiah type of figure to give themselves something to point to to show their system works when he consistently dropped the ball on the most important issues of his time. From his handling of the Aids epidemic, to tripling the federal debt, to selling weapons to Iran. Dude was a colossal fukk up and yet you can't listen to a speech from any Republican today without hearing him get name dropped multiple times.

That said the only other Republican Presidents in recent times are the Bush's, Ford, and Nixon so it's easy to see why they'd have to resort to padding his record.

You guys clearly don't know what you are talking about

Woodrow Wilson is the most underrated president of all time.

He was the leader in the Progressive movement and his policies changes continue to have major effects to this day. I don't think he even thought that Progressivism would somehow become the most powerful force in the United States 100 years later. to put icing on the cake, nearly every minority group in America largely identifies themselves as progressives. These are the same minority groups that the progressives thought were inferior, and wanted to wipe out through breeding programs.
