I am only 40 years old, so I'll tell you my opinion and the opinion of my parents: for me-- I think Clinton did an okay job, but Reagan is my fav because I'm a conservative and I was young when Reagan served. My parents thought Nixon did a great job until Watergate ruined him.
Warren G. Harding, without a doubt, was the worst president in the 20th century and of all time, barely edging out Andrew Johnson who made a mess of the Reconstruction following the Civil War. He is infamous for the Teapot Dome Scanda" which involved oil lease bribery at the highest (cabinet) levels of the Harding government.

Well I would say jimmy carter. Not too many scandals but he sure messed things up on his "misery scale" he vowed to fix. He almost spent us into oblivion.
S policies were at a very fast pace to lead us to a socialist way of life. He truly believed the government could run my life better than I could.As far as now, barrack hussien obama is a jimmy carter on steroids.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
