Why? Wilson was just a reflection of his time. People seem to think that racism was solely a Southern problem. We just didn't hide ours like the rest of the country did. Also.

To be fair to Wilson (whoa guys, settle down), he was elected in November of 1916, the Zimmerman Telegram was January 1917, Inauguration was March 4, 1917, and Wilson called for war before Congress on April 2, 1917 (and they agreed 82-6). FDR asked Congress to declare war against Japan the same year he was re-inaugurated after campaigning that "The nation will remain a neutral nation, as long as it remains within my power to prevent, there will be no blackout of peace in the United States" The way you said it made it sound like you thought it was an unfounded about-face... tho I'm pretty sure that's *not* how you actually see it.

[@a.grimes4202]

You forgot the Black Tom explosions that happened July 30, 1916 due to agents of the then German Empire.

What Harding did is an example of the recent decision by the Supreme Court can have drastic consequence no matter what party or ideology no one should be held unaccountable for there actions.

[@Kayvel54]

That's incorrect. There is accountability. There always was, and there still is. What the recent SCOTUS decision did was put on paper to limit the power of courts of states and the DoJ. To prosecute a President they need to be impeached and convicted by the senate then the DoJ/State courts can go after him for that crime since Conviction just removes him from office. Without that decision in place, A Republican or any party leader that gets into office could go after and prosecute any former or would be future president. A prime example of this would be Trump getting into office and having his DoJ go after Obama, or the state of Texas, on the grounds of murder (he did drone strike US citizens). With the decision that was released they can't do that without congress impeaching and convicting Obama. Without that protection we'll see a back and forth of prosecution of political rivals across the political spectrum. It would undermined the checks and balances that were set in place by the founding fathers.

Great video as always Chris! One nitpick I have is that if you look at the 92 election, after Perot's campaign initally tanked and he dropped out, and after the Democratic convention, Clinton was leading by around 55 to 31 percent. Perot got back in and won the first debate, which boosted his numbers to 19%, but ultimately, it was the economy and the broken pledge that cost Bush the election. If it was a two-way race, Clinton still would have won comfortably (would have been best for the country if Perot won, though).

[@rohan1970b]

In reference to George Bush (sr). I voted for him the 1st time. I specifically remember he also indicated he would veto if congress passed any. When he didn't keep this promise, I didn't vote for him. I didn't vote for Perot either I voted for another independent candidate.

[@corey2232]

Another thing people rarely mention about the Bush & Iraq thing - Saddam was being very intentionally uncooperative & threw out UN weapons inspectors. I know it's easily ignored or forgotten now, but Iraq HAD WMDs in the recent past & had even used them against its own people. They finally agreed to cooperate with UN laws & inspections to show they were on the up & up, only to then abruptly stop. Even before the actual invasion, Bush & US officials all but said they will invade if they don't address this & begin cooperation again, but Saddam was defiant & refused. So along with the inaccurate intelligence being provided to Bush & the UN, satellite images showing these mobile sites, and Saddam's refusal to continue cooperating with the UN, it made people on both sides convinced there was something bad they were hiding. I'm seriously not trying to justify anything, the war was definitely a huge mistake, only providing context for those who think it was solely a Bush thing when in reality, 90% of congress agreed & voted for war.

[@davidreece5867]

Actually, the inspectors were allowed back in and were within weeks of a formal report declaring that Iraq had complied with UN resolutions. Iraq had used chemical weapons 15 years before in the Iran-Iraq War and against Kurds and Shi’ite Muslims who were supportive of Iran. So it wasn’t recently. Saddam didn’t want it known by his enemies within and without Iraq because he was afraid of invasion.

[@stephengray1344]

It's worth noting that public opinion in other countries who joined the war was very different from public opinion in the US. In the UK there was huge opposition to the Iraq war among the public (though the two main parties did support the war). It was widely known here that the UN weapons inspectors were close to declaring that Iraq didn't actually have WMDs anymore.

12:36 I think you are forgetting some other recent one term president that wasn‘t reelected in the next election. 😅

[@Spartacus-us1eo]

As interesting as it is that Trump is the first former president to be convicted, it's the only event on their list that happened outside the time the individual served as President. I think they should've kept it to the confines of their presidency, then maybe do a video about most embarrassing moments during the life of a president, haha.

[@shawnhirsch4667]

The grover cleveland thing also happened outside his presidency I believe.

[@derekhiemforth]

It happened literally within days of the election, for the purpose of influencing the election. I think it's splitting hairs to look that as being outside of his presidency. It's not like this happened back in the 1990s when he was just a real estate guy.

[@langdonledwig3734]

Which if they go after him for things he did they have to go after every living president except maybe Carter for awful shit they did in their lifes

[@xellos5262]

Well they could have gone with the "injecting bleach" and "exposing your blood to UV light" thing. Or his perfect phone call. Or the image where world leaders lean in on him, while he sits there arms crossed like a child. There are so many moments during his time in office, that I think it is okay to have him on the list :D

[@fusel5883]

honestly, the time the entire UN laughed at him would have fit better

[@lmike19liberty69]

Why would Andrew Johnson have signed the tenure of office act into law? You would think he would have just vetoed it

[@Zitsanrael1117]

He did. Congress overrode his veto, which they did to a lot of legislation he vetoed.

[@derekhiemforth]

I'm honestly surprised that Carter's handling of the Iran hostage crisis wasn't on the list. When Chris was wondering aloud which would be number 1, I assumed it would be this...

[@GeneralZodFDNY77]

I was with you when Watergate was named #3. Like what the heck could be worse. Then the drop the Top 2. And I was like "Oh. Yeah."

[@smittydog164]

34:06 woahhh Chris saying things like that might get you end up drowning in a puddle or commit self harm with 2 broken arms and a broken leg

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

Hey Chris, you should react to a video called "Stopping at McDonald's in 1989", where the guy is vlogging at a McDonalds, in 1989. Seems more like 1983 to me though. It would be nice to get someone who was around at the time to do a commentary about it. There's another similar cool video by a Spanish vlogger who vlogged himself on top of the World Trade Center before it was destroyed. Super HD footage. That one's called "SUBIMOS a las TORRES GEMELAS 3 meses antes del 11 SEPT"

[@santiagoagustinalvarez3728]

I agree with you about this top being more about bad decisions rather than embarrassing moments. In my opinion, a top of shameful moments would be things presidents did or said while in office or former presidents, since not everything they do affects the country. In this top, most positions are bad decisions, the first thing you would feel is not shame, as they are things that were approved and were effected, having hindsight also adds up to having a wide range on what to feel about those decisions. I also agree with your opinion that the impeachment of a president will unfortunately from now on have to do with personal things instead of things that have to do with his administration. Greetings from Argentina!

[@James-bd1ew]

Thought they would have Ford saying “there’s no soviet domination over Eastern Europe…” etc on the list

[@jerseyjon73]

For LBJ, the embarrassing thing is how he reacted to contrary views on Vietnam. When House Minority Leader Gerald Ford criticized LBJ’s handling of the Vietnam War. Ford questioned whether the White House had a clear plan to bring the war to a successful conclusion.The speech angered LBJ, who responded like an infant by accusing Ford of playing “too much football without a helmet.” But you can also go him pushing for the Kerner Commission and then ignoring all the conclusions.

[@PhantomOfDarkness]

oh no, that must've been a nightmare losing your laptop. hope it comes back to you safely. can't beat Scotland though, good place to be.

[@tribuneoftheplebes7345]

My guy looks so beyond stoned…but who am I to judge lol

[@calebkeane7605]

Did anyone see him roll his eyes when Bush said “Saddam was a threat weapons or no weapons” lol

[@lxUn1c0]

I was also in D.C. when the U.S. invaded Iraq, attending the National Youth Leadership Forum on Law as a sophomore in high school. I distinctly remember watching the news on CNN and seeing a TV ad announcing the release of Linkin Park's second studio album in under a week. I also remember visiting both sides of the Capitol building and talking to protestors on the Mall, trying to understand why there was such rabid opposition to what seemed like the obvious next step in the Global War on Terror. There was a lot the average American didn't know and couldn't see coming as a result of that decision.

[@DreamcastFarm]

No shot the whiskey rebellion was worse than the mission accomplished thing 💀💀

[@Oleksandr.Derkach]

I loved your reaction to number one. You were like: Oh... yeah, that

[@daviddavenport9350]

I believe I read that the military staff on the Pacific coast pushed Roosevelt for this internment....

[@Vermilion73]

I would love to know what GBJr's IQ was.

[@jdotoz]

A 2006 study estimated him as between 111 and 139.

[@MalikF15]

Man I never thought I’d live to see the day that you have of All people would use the what about ism as an argument defending Woodrow Wilson 😂. Happy fourth of July.

[@Letterman0412]

Speaking of the CIA, my understanding is that a big reason we were willing to escalate our involvement in Vietnam was because of a incredibly favorable and incredibly inaccurate estimate the CIA had made of Viet Cong manpower. Sam Adam's "War of Numbers" goes into more detail but essentially the US strategists were giving the false belief that the Viet Cong weren't replacing men killed or who deserted at a rate high enough to sustain their numbers and that the organization was headed towards collapse, when this couldn't have been farther from the truth.
