People Who Call Obama Worst President Since Second World War Also Blame Him for Starting ItWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) A new poll released Wednesday revealed that people rank President Barack Obama as the worst President since the Second World War, and also blame him for starting the Second World War.
While the respondents slammed the President for his handling of the economy, Iraq, and a host of other issues, his perceived role as the primary cause of the Second World War was the biggest drag on his numbers.
Even more troubling, when compared to the three leaders of the Axis powers during that war, President Obama polled at the bottom of the list, finishing far behind Emperor Hirohito of Japan.
Fair or not, the American people hold the President responsible for starting the Second World War, Davis Logsdon, a political-science professor at the University of Minnesota, said. If the President hasnt gotten his version of the story out, theres only one person to blame for that: Barack Obama.
In other poll results, the most popular President in the survey was Ronald Reagan, widely credited with ending the Second World War.
