PS, this picture was posted before Obama was elected, moron.

Guess he really is human.

And if you’re an American there’s about a 90% chance you’re anti-bush. If you extend that to all people, there’s about a 99% chance of you being anti-Bush. If you’re a person who is able to operate a computer, it moves to about 99.9999%. The maths for why there are so many anti-Bush lols is not that hard to grasp.

In bed

It just ain’t funny no more, McGee.

Meh.

Good show, anyway! *claps for DWN and myself*

I don’t buy into conspiracy theories, I prefer facts.

And I’m not American so I haven’t studied US History, but I do have a passion for the USA, having lived and worked there in the past (in fact I was there when 9/11 happened), and I want the best for the US. It’s a spectacular country.

Which I guess is why I don’t like George Bush much. I think you guys deserve a better leader and a better administration.

I feel bad for him too, I really believe he’s a good guy who’s just been led horribly astray.

I agree that our opinions of people change over time, so perhaps he won’t be considered the worst president ever after some time has past, but I still think he will be one of the worst. Of all the things he’s done, “No Child Left Behind” is probably the only successful policy he promoted and even that is highly controversial and hated by a lot of education experts. On everything else he has either promoted a failing policy or failed to act at all.

Am I wrong here?

And I wouldn’t for a second suggest anyone masterminded the 9/11 attacks other than Al Qaeda. THAT is a conspiracy theory.

Have you even taken a US History course?

I think even in light of previous Presidents, he still ranks as the worst. For so many reasons that we all know about already, and have been written about a thousand times already. Starting with the fact that he stole the first election….and it just got worse and worse from there….what other President stole the election with the help of his friends and family??

Flew all of the Bin Laden family out of the US in the hours after 9/11. Never questioned any of them. Invaded Afghanistan and still haven’t found Osama. Invaded Iraq illegally on the basis of looking for WMDs (NOT to bring down Saddam)…and we know the rest where Iraq is concerned….

Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld…..

Does an inability to speak coherently without scripted notes at every opportunity count?

The world views the USA with contempt rather than respect. This has happened largely in the last 8 years due to Bush foreign policy.

And W’s final present to the world….a crumbling economy.

Bush Jr should have been impeached or stepped down a long ago. But the era of accountability has gone. Nixon stood accountable and stepped down.

I don’t think for a second he’ll be “miles ahead of Nixon, Carter, Tyler, Hoover”, or anyone else.

He will be judged the worst, and he will deserve it.

Hard to be sad about that, I imagine. Think of all the countries he has been able to visit, important people he got to meet, the challenges he has faced. It probably makes for the most interesting and exciting 8 years of his life. I’d rather be the worst President than the best burger flipper at McDonalds.

But as I’ve said before when this subject has come up, there are many unpopular Presidents who went on to be considered average in the long run. No offense Seth, but Presidents are almost always viewed radically different in hind sight by scholars than they are by their contemporary opponents, and an approval rating plummet in the back half of a second term doesn’t mean much in the long run.

Worst President ever? Maybe to his contemporary critics such as you or I, but when he ends up in the mix with all the other previous Presidents, I imagine he’ll be middle of the pack. Which is low for a two-term President since they tend to rank highly. He’ll still be miles ahead of Nixon, Carter, Tyler, Hoover, etc.
