Obama

In my 64 years obama is hands down the most ineffective anti american president in my life time.
Rudi Guliani summed obama up perfectly "The man has no practical intelligence".

Judging from the trends in today's auto industry and legislation, I'd say Obama is all about turbo 4 bangers and hybrids... which this forum has no section for.

There hasn't been a credible president in 26 years... He's the first Anti-American president though... Good thing terms are only 4 years... The next guy will probably be just as bad... I think General David Petraeus would be a good prospect.. Over 37yrs in the military.. He's been in politics for a while and has baseline common sense.... That's what we've been lacking...

Obama's energy policy is the chevy Volt. With Bush the media slammed him for high gas prices everyday, but with Obama not a peep. The Volt is one hot ride though,
mainly because of battery fires.

I think the Volt is a pretty cool car. With the energy density of batteries going up, the risk of fire goes with it, but it's no more dangerous than a tank of flammable carcinogenic gasoline.

Except a tank of flammable carcinogenic gasoline, needs to be broken open and a spark applied to catch fire and the Volt just needs to be used in the manner it was designed to be used.

Please notice the phrase: "most ineffective anti-American president" (I DO capitalize "American", by the way).

So he's ineffective at being anti-American? Isn't that a good thing? So, to the OP, which President was the best at being anti-American?

Give the placement of the comma in this sentence is critical but with the remainder of the post, it was easy to figure out it was a list not an emphatic.

Rudi Guliani could have been a bit more direct on his comment.
He has no experience that qualifies him to be POTUS.
He has tons of experience in campaigning, as for the 10 years prior to starting the campaign for POTUS, that is all he really did.
Prior to that he dabbled in teaching and law, but all in all, he has been campaigning for most of his vocation.
IL state senate positions, so that was 3 sessions ( 2 yrs ), and he left the last one early with him getting elected to US Senate.
US Senate, 05-08, so that was 2 sessions, again leaving the last one early for the POTUS.
Obama has a lot of experience in campaigning, but no real leadership experience.
This was highlighted in the recent Super Committee work, where his idea of leadership was to come in day one, and present his plan that should be passed.
His advisers on TV will say this multiple times in a row as signs of leadership. Really that sounds like pass what I want, not showing leadership in what the Super Committee was to be about ( i.e. not doing the rubber stamp routine ).

Too bad most voters will not realize that leadership is what is missing in the 112th congressional session.
It was easy in the 111th session, but with the shift in control, the type of leadership that Ronnie had is not here.
The 111th congressional session and leadership looked very similar to Carter' term in office and the results are looking to be close to the same ( alternative energy spending that was a money pit, spending a lot more than you have in income are two that come to mind ).
Even Clinton had the appearance of leading ( even if it was not his original idea ) when faced with contra-party leads in the upper and lower houses.

I was, of course, having a bit of fun. It reminded me of a Senator (Republican I think, during Eisenhower's term in office) who once received a letter calling him an "incompetent fool". He wrote back thanking the letter writer for not thinking he was competent at being a fool!

I regret that I cannot recall his name, but he was a firm believer in the Constitution and understood it far better than most.
