20th Century Presidents hurt or heal

[Guynemer]

I'm not a Reagan fan, but there is no way he deserves to be the second out. (Nor Carter the first. Partisan jackasses, the lot of you.)

Clinton 13
Bush Sr. 10
Reagan 1
Ford 10
Nixon 10
Johnson 10
Kennedy 8
Eisenhower 11
Truman 10
F. Roosevelt 14
Hoover 8 --
Coolidge 10
Harding 10
Wilson 10
Taft 10
T. Roosevelt 11 +
McKinley 10

OUT:
#1 Carter
#2

Due to the xpost, Reagan really has 2, not that it's going to make much difference. I'm also surprised how much Reagan hate there is. And Carter hate for that matter. There were many more qualified candidates to be put out early.

Carter & Reagan

I'm also puzzled by the Harding love.

[Kontiki]

Harding had the decency to die two years into his term.

[Guynemer]

So did Kennedy, it ain't helping him any.

ok, since the point is to get rid of the guys who turned USA into the #1 superpower in the world it is now, our next target is clinton

seriously guys, this is partisan hackery on ridiculous levels. take a look at how USA was doing in 1981, then take a look at it in 1989. can anyone honestly say it was worse off in 1989?

reagan changed the trajectory of America, he turned it from slow (and inevitable-looking, google carter's malaise speech to have a feeling of the zeitgeist, 90%+ thought that the future would be worse) decline into a new renaissance of prosperity

big for anyone who thought reagan was the 2nd worse president for America and downvoted him.

I love how you think you know anything about the subject.

He deserves it for Reagonomics alone. Massive increase on public debt. He tripled the national debt in his tenure. A recession started in his 2nd year in office.
Also:

The job growth under the Reagan administration was an average of 2.1% per year, which is in the middle of the pack of twentieth-century Presidents.[citation needed] Comparing the recovery from the 1981-82 recession (1983-1990) with the years between 1971 (end of a recession) and 1980 shows that the rate of growth of real GDP per capita averaged 2.77 under Reagan and 2.50% under Nixon, Ford and Carter. However, the unemployment rate averaged higher under Reagan (6.75% vs. 6.35%), average productivity growth was slower under Reagan (1.38% vs. 1.92%) and private investment as a percentage of GDP also averaged lower under Reagan (16.08% vs. 16.86%). Furthermore, real wages declined during the Reagan Presidency.[37] What makes this comparison so significant is that between 1971 and 1980 the economy suffered a severe recession in 1975 whereas during the Reagan recovery there was no such interruption.[38]

@ VJ for taking a Hurt or Heal thread seriously. Get the sand out of your vagina.

I had to fix Kennedy again:

Clinton 14
Bush Sr. 10
Ford 10
Nixon 6 --
Johnson 10
Kennedy 7
Eisenhower 11
Truman 11
F. Roosevelt 15+
Hoover 8
Coolidge 10
Harding 8
Wilson 10
Taft 10
T. Roosevelt 11
McKinley 10

[Guynemer]

No, Kennedy is 5. It's just that Jon Miller didn't delete the previous pluses and minuses, nor the colors that Ozzy used.

Fixed.

As I said, not a Reagan fan--like, at all--but VJ is right, this is partisan hackery. There is no way on God's green earth that either Carter or Reagan should be gone before guys like Hoover or Harding.
