In summary: Are you interested in debating whether or not the U.S. should implement Sharia law? Whether your friend is an idiot? Whether Obama is a Muslim? What Glenn Beck's motives are?

Yeah, that was my point. FDR, for example, probably had more influence on the size and type of government we have today, both by his actions, and his influence over the judicial branch, than any other President this century. That should put him on everyone's short list for either "best" or "worst".

FWIW he does make my list (thought I respectfully decline to state which!). For the purpose of this thread I chose less-contentious ones.

And while I do care about the corruption of other administrations, it pales in comparison, IMHO.

What pales in comparison to what? What administrations are you saying were more corrupt than the two I gave?

Pales in comparison to the damage done by more influential and powerful Presidents, regardless of how corrupt or honest they were. As an example, FDR's legacy, to those that oppose his agenda, far outweighs the examples you gave. And while FDR's administration was certainly corrupt, his legacy stems mainly from things he sincerely believed in.
