In Hoover’s case, the economy went from good to bad during his presidency. Re Buchanan, he took a bad situation and made it much worse. I think it’s unlikely that Obama will actually make the economy worse than what he started with, although the possibility surely exists…

James Buchanan and Herbert Hoover only wish they could be ranked so high.

Visited the FDR Memorial in DC. Preferred it to the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Gorgeous.
