[Vision2020] Narcissist Nader May Run Attention

[Carl Westberg]

Since these things are entirely subjective, I'd posit that the 5 worst Presidents in U.S. history are #1 George W. Bush, followed by #2 George W. Bush, #3 George W. Bush, #4 George W. Bush, and finally, at #5, George W. Bush.  But that's just me.  Carl Westberg Jr.
