He is not just the worst President but the man is a monster. In 2011, the Pentagon and the US diplomats in Iraq told him unequivocally that if he withdrew all the troops from Iraq, al Qaeda would reassert itself and the country would go up in flames, but Obama decided it would be bad for his reelection campaign not to keep his 2008 promise to withdraw the troops, so he did knowing full well the disaster he was creating.Obamacare certainly makes him a finalist, but I don't see how he cracks this list:
1) Lincoln eliminated consent of the governed
2) FDR eliminated State rights
3) Woodrow Wilson made us policeman to the world
Then there are honorable mentions he's got to compete with like LBJ making war an economic policy, W being his mirror image and Buchanan setting up the Civil War before bolting
Judging his worth by the amount of damage this decision has caused - the carnage in Iraq which spread to Syria, killing hundreds of thousands of people, turning millions in homeless refugees who die by the thousands or tens of thousands trying to escape to Europe - puts Obama in the same class of monster as Saddam. I can't think of another president who would have chosen to create this disaster just to increase his chances of winning a second term.
