"Since when does fighting terrorism and removing a tyrannous dictator from oppressing his country get you ranked as a worst president? i think he is one of the best presidents we've ever had."
I believe you need a little less Fox News.
I wouldn't say Bush is the ABSOLUTE WORSE president...then again, I can't think of worse off the top of my head. 50 years from now, though, it probably won't seem as bad. We might be exaggerating it JUST a bit because we're just coming out of his final term.

no longer even close. Worst in contemporary historic past is Carter. checklist extreme inflation, gasoline strains, checklist extreme rates of activity, led to the Iran/Iraq situation, bought the Panama Canal, hostage disaster etc etc. and that's in straightforward terms a initiate. Ask everyone who lived for the duration of that era. under Bush we've been risk-free provided that 2001 and we've seen the inventory marketplace hit an all time top of 14,000. No president has accomplished this. i do unlike an excellent number of the Bush rules, yet by staying out of the financial device we observed impressive strengthen. it incredibly is, till the democrats won congress. Now the marketplace is somewhat over 8,000. those contemporary scandals by senate democrats has incredibly harm the financial device. yet liberals write the historic past books, so do no longer anticipate the fact to be hassle-free to locate.

He sealed his fate with this last gasp for his side, the $700 bailout. The stupid "economic stimulus plan" was for about $155 billion an a total waste.
I feel sorry for him in a strange way. He was just letting the big boys pull his strings. He has been a puppet from the time they created him and made him Gov. ot Texas. That is how they do it. People must prove their absolute loyalty and willingness to obey before either party will work in earnest to get them elect. Obama is owned and McCain was promised. We are suckers to let the two parties do this any longer.

Historically he won't do well. We went from a balanced budget to in debt again. We ignored the important war and invaded a sovereign country for his own personal reasons. He surrounded himself with people who nodded their heads and said, "You are right Mr. President" whether he was right or not He couldn't figure out the economy was in trouble until it was in the toilet. He ignored the constitution with aspects of the Patriot Act. He partitioned protesters away from where he was located, that way he could pretend the country loved him.

I think that in 30 years people will look back on his presidency as "that time a chimp fooled everyone into thinking he was a human"
Oh yeah, and I think he'll be in last place?

I think Bush will rank as the absolute worst US president because he ultimately really did not care at all for the American people -- he only cared for the big money -- and that's why we are in the trouble we are in now with the economy. He is a disgrace.

If Obama gets in it won't matter. More companies will leave the US and our finances will be being spent on sending toddlers with sippy cups to school. We will be ignoring opposing military threats. It won't matterabout Washington, Lincoln, etc... We will be part of the European nations and lose any power or authority we have as a nation.
But Bush will be middle to lower end just to clarify.

Bottom 3 without a shadow of a doubt. Right down there with Richard Nixon and William Harrison (only because he only served like a month or something).
