Worst Presidential Errors



This is a twist on honoring Presidents on President's Day...pointing out what they did wrong. Scholars rated worst Presidential errors in a survey of the top 10 presidential blunders, which were announced Saturday during a President's Day weekend conference called "Presidential Moments."

The conference was held at the McConnell Center, University of Louisville, "for teachers, students, and citizens to explore some major decisions presidents have made...Bringing together some of today’s leading experts on the field of the presidency...and helping us all use them to understand American history..."

Political scientist and McConnell Center Director Gary Gregg said,
"We can probably learn just as much — or maybe even more — by looking at the mistakes rather than looking at why they were great."

Who do you think made the top ten? Clinton? Bush? Reagan? Find out here.

What a way to honor Presidents. Just think what would happen if the same thing was done for Black History Month...having a conference on what black leaders did wrong...or during Gay Pride month...the 10 top errors of the gay community...et al!
