I don't get it. The economy was terrible under FDR but he gets a "hey at least you tried" award but Ronald Reagan was president over a good economy. He gets called the worst ever? Makes no sense at all.
There are other measures of ability of a president than the economy. Reagan grew the deficit at an unheard of rate, and then of course there is Iran-Contra. I do not think that is enough to make him worst, but I think that makes the point clear.
I think my pick would have to be Carter, if just because he was such a disappointment. He was of my party, and we had high hopes for him, but ended up being incredibly ineffective.
