Is George W. Bush the Worst President Ever?

I dont' think it took a rocket scientist to figure out that George W. Bush is the worst president ever.

Quote:

But a Sunday commentary in the Washington Post by Columbia University Professor of History, Eric Foner, brought the point painfully home: "It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history."

"They had a dictator who was brutal but they had their streets, they could go out, their kids
could go to school and come back home without a mother or father worrying. (Under Bush),
the Iraqi government has not been able to bring the violence under control."

Poll: Bush not trustworthy, doesn't share values, no longer inspires confidence

Quote:

President Bush faces some discouraging poll numbers as the year many have called the most challenging of his presidency comes to an end.

A majority of the American people, 55 percent, no longer believe Bush shares their values. They also are not sure if he is honest and trustworthy or if he understands complex issues, a CNN poll released Thursday reports. The poll was conducted for CNN by the Opinion Research Corporation and has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Nearly 53 percent say he is not honest and trustworthy, and the same number believes he does not understand complex issues. Fifty-one percent also say he is not a strong leader.

Tell us something we didn't know already!! :lol:

Yes, he is the worst president ever.

His approval rate is 32% and most of those post on this forum.

The rest of the country can't wait for him to leave.

You can't say Obama will be one of the worst presidents ever if he hasn't even been elected. I don't know you can call Bush the worst, but he certainly isn't too high on the good list, is he?

No, he's not; Reagan and Nixon, at least kept the extreme right in their places, Bush was unable to do the same, hence, HATE RADIO!

Just because you don't agree with right wing radio doesn't make it hate. I could say the same thing about left wing radio, which is failing, btw. I don't call it hate, though. I just decide not to listen to it. It's not like someone is forcing you to listen to Rish Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.

Right, you just decide not to listen to it, 'cause you know in your heart, IT IS hate radio!
