I hate LBJ, but I wasn't alive during his presidency.
Warren G. Harding really pisses me off too (obviously I hate corrupt elites), Nixon ironically is a mixed bag... an evil minded guy who did the right thing brilliantly once in a while (from a game theory sense at least). I still vote negatively on him.
Carter I think was a crappy president, but a good guy, who unfairly gets blame for more than he deserves (those deserving of some blame), while Reagan unfairly gets praise for more than he deserves (but deserves some praise).
It gets difficult for me to grade presidents, since I try to judge based on particular issues, and most presidencies have a mix. W pretty much across the board seemed to always take the self-serving and evil option... so he's my worst in my lifetime.
