Edit: Okay, you've given good reasons.
Yes, and Wilson is always in the top 10, and he suspended habeus corpus and took political prisoners (mostly socialists and feminists).
If you look at the list, you can see that historians tend to favor the politicians that took big dramatic actions, started wars, led imperially, etc. Theodore Roosevelt is also always near the top, and he basically advocated empire building and racist immigration policies. Historians are just awful drama queens mostly.
There's a pretty good argument to make for Lincoln as our worst President, too. He's the only President under which we had a civil war!
