My bad, the Teapot Dome was Harding.
For Grant, I think it was the Gold Panic, the Whiskey Ring and Credit Mobilier.

Incorrect. I would have voted for Hillary and if she runs in 2012, I might just vote for her if the Repubs got no one good.

Oh come on, we have had so many morally degenerate Presidents whose legacy is compromised by some positive achievements, that choosing just one all time un favorite President becomes very hard. And by what criteria do we choose? Pick your favorite sin, be it corruption, human cruelty, or maybe just an unwillingness to act when the need is manifest, and we can get different answers.
In my mind, GWB almost has to be the hands down winner, with Nixon coming close.
But when Nixon had some redeeming virtues and GWB&co lacked any redeeming virtues, some recent Presidential judgments become easier. And the damn hell of it is, none of us get a free T-shirt saying we survived the the era of GWB, Nixon, Carter, LBJ, or whomever.
But chewie_77 has ignited doubts in my mind, the prospect of Obama corrupted by KFC has blown my mind. To some, Colonel Sanders may be a kindly restaurateur, but to chickens, we are talking Adolph Eichmann.

Sadly, there are many reasons not to like Ike. A very good general but not a very good President. When Ike did not stand up to McCarthy when he attacked George C. Marshall, we can understand why he was a piss poor human being.
really ?

Nixon, Cheney, and Reagan for modern presidents, in that order.
Hard to pick one out of those. Reagan and his handlers may have committed a greater amount of offenses, but the repercussions of the Nixon and Cheney admins were arguably more severe an affront to law and morals. At least Reagan didn't exhibit the imperialistic "my-way-or-the-highway, you're traitors for disagreeing with me" MO. He was a prop cut from the same cloth as Cheney's hand puppet, so I suppose a little sympathy is in order.

Damn, that's a tough one. I'd have to say its a tie between LBJ and McKinley since they used false flag attacks as an excuse to go to war and since they were in bed with the banksters.
Harding didn't actually know about the Teapot Dome Scandal and I can't say Grant was too bad considering that LBJ and McKinley were far more corrupt.
I just noticed that the Republican Party has tended to be more corrupt than the Democratic Party especially in the early days of the Republican Party, definitely with big business they were in bed with.
