Historians have labeled him the \"Worst President Ever,\" \"Dead Last,\" \"Unfit,\" and \"Incompetent,\" to name but a few. Many contemporaries were equally cruel. H. L. Mencken called him a \"nitwit.\" To Alice Roosevelt Longworth, he was a \"slob.\" Such is the current reputation of our 29th President, Warren Gamaliel Harding.
