Hmm, tough decisions, lets eliminate them:
Gerald Ford (1974-1977)
Only beef I really have against this guy would be the pardoning of Nixon before he went to trial after his impeachment. Although I wasn't around for that, he should've let the courts do their duty instead of giving preferential treatment to celebrities.
Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)
Pardoned "Slick Willy" for being a draft dodger/felon.
Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
The Iran-Contra scandal, but it was meant for the intent of indirectly freeing hostages. Albeit, inexcusable, the man actually had quite a successful term as president.
George H. W. Bush (1989-1993)
Signed the documents banning imports of foreign arms (ironically at the request of OUR firearms industry due to the threat of cheaper made firearms undermining the U.S. market). Not to mention his total screwing up with the Gulf War (which we are now cleaning up after his mess). NAFTA (he drafted it, and Bill Clinton signed it)
Bill Clinton (1993-2001)
Failed to take out Osama when he ahad the chance to do so (read Dereliction of Duty by Robert Patterson). Pardoned HUNDREDS of Convicted felons and Death-row inmates upon his departure from office. And he enacted the AWB (which nearly destroyed our domestic firearms industry).
George W. Bush (2001-200[9])
I don't think I have to elaborate on this one. The man may mean to do well, but for god sakes he's a businessman NOT a politician.

And the winner is (drumroll) Ronald Reagan!!!
