Book Description
================
Worst. President. Ever. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening - and highly entertaining - account of poor James Buchanan’s presidency to prove once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse.
But author Robert Strauss does much more, leading listeners out of Buchanan’s terrible term in office - meddling in the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, exacerbating the Panic of 1857, helping foment the John Brown uprisings and “Bloody Kansas”, virtually inviting a half-dozen states to secede from the Union as a lame duck, and on and on - to explore with insight and humor his own obsession with presidents, and ultimately the entire notion of ranking our presidents. He guides us through the POTUS rating game of historians and others who have made their own Mount Rushmores - or Marianas Trenches - of presidential achievement, showing why Buchanan easily loses to any of the others, but also offering insights into presidential history buffs like himself, the forgotten “lesser” presidential sites, sex and the presidency, the presidency itself, and how and why it can often take the best measures out of even the most dedicated men.

Note: please don’t put “(Unabridged)” in the title; it’s long enough already and 99% of books here are unabridged; it’s stated in the specs anyway.
Also, the cover image link is broken, it should just be a simple URL to a jpg file. You have some odd base64 code.
If you join the forum things like this can be discussed by PMs.
I wonder how many how many will comment on this without noticing who it is actually about.
But I think a new edition of this would need an asterisk.

Personally, I always found Martin Van Buren to be a particular disappointment, but it’s all very subjective.

@Gweilo will do. I cant explain the URL. I did the same thing as the first upload. Copied the URL to the Amazon pic. of the book cover. I was disappointed in the result as well. Any way that I can edit it? I dislike the broken link like that and would love to be able to edit it.

@blt502 — yes, you can edit the link and anything in the description, click the “login” link at the top of the page and then you will be at your “user page” https://audiobookbay.lu/member/users/ and see a list of your uploads, you can select the pencil icon next to them to modify them.
I’d advise pasting the info into a text file to review first.
The Amazon link is

But again, please join the forum; I don’t monitor these comments regularly. We have a how to on this and other stuff.
