Jimmy Carter. A great great human being but most would like to forget his term


Agreed Jimmy Carter was totally overwhelmed Ty the presidency. He became a world-class ambassador for the US after he left office.

Morgan Freeman on Deep Impact.

It really wasn't a good movie.

Surprised no one has mentioned William Henry Harrison. Poor guy never even had a chance to really make an impact, as he was only in office 31 days before his death from pneumonia.


Yep, I can’t remember most of them. My first president was Eisenhower but Kennedy was the one I remember the most.

Tippecanoe and Tyler too.

WH Harrison was the hero of the battle of Tippecanoe and grandfather to a later president, Benjamin Harrison. Tyler (His Accidency) took over and cemented the president that the VP takes the oath of office if the President dies. Tyler then brought Texas into the union, and settled a border dispute with Britain.

George HW Bush is pretty forgettable too. And he actually served a full term.

Even people who lived through his term can hardly say anything that Bush I did as president. And people who aren’t old enough to remember Bush I usually mix him up with Bush II.


Disagree with this. Ending the Cold War was a pretty big deal. He'll be remembered along with the Bush name as one of the few American political dynasties.

You wouldn't be saying that he was forgettable if you ever had a run with with one of his boys.

Damn! Good call! He was president for what? A day? I had definitely forgotten about him.

You win the flag for that one.

He's memorable for that though, imo. Taylor was president for like 9 months, didn't want to be president, didn't do shite in office, then died.

He might be the worst, but your history on him is the opposite of reality. He was impeached by republicans though because they thought he was way too soft on the South.


He hated the planter class, not the South as a whole.
