Lincoln. In 1862 he signed an income tax law and gave us the IRS.

Jimmy Carter, he was a pussy in office and out of office. His problem was that he was NOT a leader but a pacifier.

No sorry. There should have never been slaves.
There also should never have been an income tax. That was the Fed's first big power grab and it opened the door to so many things that we all hate.

A pacifier is one who makes peace, right? So if a pacifier is not a leader (  ), I guess you must think Bush is a true leader! 
Or am I misunderstanding what you meant???
Edit: I think Gazzbut might have explained it, perhaps you meant "warmonger", not "leader".

A pacifier isn't neccessary someone who makes peace, sometimes they can be more like appeasers. A leader is someone who can stand strong in the face of adversity and stand up for what they believe is right.
And strangely enough, Bush does meet these criteria, he faced the September 11th tragedy (I dont mean on the day but as a whole) and he is fighting for a cause he believes to be right.

no, a pacifier is someone who tries to make everyone happy without actually making any tough decision on his own. Carter was a nice guy but was NO leader.

it really wouldn't matter what i said, the responses would have been the same. To say that carter was effective in any part of his presidency would be a joke. Compare his leadership ability with ANY of those listed above and the result would be the same. I would change my vote if the poll was switched to "who is the most dangerous to our rights", but even then he would be near the bottom.

Then you've not learned the true lesson which would be that he says what he means the first time, even if he then has to rephrase it several times for the slower among us.

I hate polls like these because they are too lopsided. A good poll would include ALL the presidents and to be of value should only be taken by those familliar with all the presidents down to the size of their underwear.
Unfortunately neither the poll nor this forum meets those criteria.
If I had to pick our worst president out of my limited knowledge (read "my ass) I would agree with Luv.
Interestingly enough some of the same insults in the way of epithets used to characterize Lincoln are used to characterize our current president.
