The Worst President in History, by Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan

Was Barack Obama the worst president in history?  Obviously, that's quite a subjective stance, and opinions on Obama range from best to worst president.  Whichever end of the spectrum you're on, spend a few minutes with Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan's The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama.  They will give you 200 reasons why they think he's the worst.  Even if you quibble with some of them, even if you object to their reasoning on a majority of them, you'll have to agree that if Obama's presidency isn't the worst, it was certainly problematic.

I see Obama interviewed or giving speeches and get so sick of his self-righteousness.  He repeats ad nauseum that there were no scandals in his administration, that they were clean and pure and unbleminsed by any ulterior motives and, of course no one was indicted in his administration.  Open up The Worst President in History to any spot, read a few pages, and that position falls apart.  Scandals and corruption fill every page.

The mainstream media laps up anything Obama says uncritically.  Margolis and Noonan give names and dates and numbers to dispel the myth of a pristine Obama presidency.  Fortunately for Obama, most of the writers of history are only interested in Obama hagiography.  Fortunately for reality, Margolis and Noonan have an interest in the truth.
