Hoover, (Depression Austerity),and Truman, (Sent first troops to Vietnam), are up there too.

I would put Nuking Hiroshima and Nagisaki on the list of Truman issues as well.

At the very least Nagisaki. One could argue that the first bomb was necessary after we saw how hard the Japanese fought on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Japan had already surrendered after Hiroshima, and the only condition they asked was that The Emperor not have to step down. I hindsight I don't think that would have been an issue as he apparently wasn't the driving force behind the war.

For the world and Japan certainly. But as things that affected Americans, those advisors were far worse.
