I hear this from so many Rethugs, "Obama is the worst President in history" [View all]

But none of them give any concrete or factual proof that he is. What makes someone the worst President in US history?
I can think of a million things but nothing I saw Obama do or say makes him that. He's not perfect but who the hell is?
