Someone mentioned Carter as one of the worst - I rather think he was grossly ineffective.

I agree that LBJ and W were very bad. But W wasn't just bad because of Iraq. He bears some of the responsibility for the current mess of the welfare state, but liberals don't like to talk about that. I also don't think Reagan was nearly as great as people want to believe - he benefited from the sequence of events in the world in the early 1980's.

I think it's important to rate the administration as a whole. For as much corruption that occurred in the 8 years under George Bush, I would say the current administration is the most incompetent and the most dishonest (least transparent) that we have seen. At a time where they are trying to expand the role of the federal government, that's bad. Even the Washington Post is now focusing on the current administration regarding the border crisis.
