Bush as one of the worst presidents. Want proof? It is generally accepted (even by Obama) that people were NOT voting -for- Obama; rather that they were voting AGAINST Bush -- and Obama won by a landslide. Now try again, and see if that tells you anything about W. Bwahahahahahah There might have been some of the votes that were anti-Bush votes, but you must admit that Obama was very popular. To say that it was, to a large extent, a vote for Obama was a vote against Bush is lessening Obama's real popularity in the election. Its similar to the Dems that voted for Reagan. In one year, Obama is the worst of them all. Again, you seem to overlook a simple fact: Obama INHERITED not just one but TWO expensive so-called wars with no exit strategy and INHERITED a major Depression -- that started on Bush's watch. Bush inherited a military that had been downsized ... the military had to be spooled up because of the war ... remember all the complaints against Bush's not worrying about the troops ... hummers were not properly armored etc ... remember Rumsfeld said you go to war with what you have and not what you wished you had. You also must remember that Bush can only spend the money that is oked by Congress. The economic downturned started in the last year of the Bush administration ... Congress was taken over by the Dem in two years before Bush's term was up. At that time the economy was purring along with an unemployment rate of about 4.6%. True Obama has been in office only one year, but the two previous years there was a Democratic Congress ... are they responsible for any of the economic downturn? Rather than picking on Obama, please realize that even if McCain won, we would still be in exactly the same fix, maybe even worse, due to "Quitter" Palin the Brain. No one, repeat, NO ONE, could clean up in only one year as big of a mess as Bush left. This is an assumption; there is no way of knowing what the outcome would have been if McCain/Palin would have been elected ... we do know that a whole year wouldn't have been wasted trying to fool with the US healthcare system ... there probably wouldn't have been a cap n trade bill ... there wouldn't have been a stimulus (pork) package of this magnitude either. |

I list ONE person that I think should be added to the list of bad presidents and I'm "seriously whacked"? The OP listed FIVE people on his bad president list and apparently you think that's just fine and that he is a fine fellow. And yes, I truly and legitimately feel the OP is being naive at best or a simpleton at worst for not saving a spot on his list for W. How hypocritical of you... |

You're seriously whacked because you seem incapable of expressing a thought without taking on a gratuitous insult. |

Hey, every boy needs a hobby... ....and you don't seem to be doing too badly in the insult department yourself. ;-) But it's not about me. Why don't you try addressing the original contention of G.W. Bush belonging on the list of worst presidents? |

Sure you do!. and INHERITED a major Depression -- that started on Bush's watch. Say, when did the Democrats take over Congress? Oh, right: 2006. Would you care to revise and extend your remarks? And what's this about a "depression"? Not even Krugman goes that far. Go on, do go on. |

Sure you do!. Hey Stevie... Are ya sittin' down? Are ya ready for this? I agree with you; we are on the same side of the fence on this one. Obama was just telling the people what they wanted to hear -- and they -desperately- want to hear that we are going to get out of those two fiasco sink hole 'wars'. A politician that tells the people what they want to hear -- how quaint! I'm sure no Republican politician ever did that. But let's look a little deeper. Poppy (Bush Sr.), in his book, stated that he did not invade Iraq because "there was no exit strategy". W painted us in a corner in both places -- we are screwed if we stay...and we are screwed if we leave. Why? Because there is NO EXIT STRATEGY. Too bad junior didn't listen to Poppy. And no easy solution for Obama, McCain or anyone else. So, Obama said it, people are hoping he's right...but only time will tell. and INHERITED a major Depression -- that started on Bush's watch.

Go on, do go on. It DID start on Bush's watch as stated above, pegged at either 4Q '07 or 1 Q '08 by nothing less than the very right wing Wall Street Journal. As to a "depression", it could be semantics... but it IS the worst economic upset since 1929. You have to realize that the gubermint fudges the figures; for example, once your unemployment benefits run out, the gubermint takes you OFF the list of the unemployed -- even though you still ARE unemployed. inflation...the gubermint jockeys those numbers around too, by either continuously changing the "market basket" of goods they use, or just plain ignoring costs of education, medical care and energy. Believe it or not, many do call this a Depression. Your mileage may vary. |

And no easy solution for Obama, McCain or anyone else. So Muslim jihadists had been attacking the US at least since the taking of hostages in Iran ... bombing of Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia, bombing two US embassies in Africa, Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon, World Trade Center I bombing and then flying planes into the WTC to name a few attacks on the US. Also keep in mind that Saddam had not complied with the agreement for 12 years to account for his WMD. What would be your next move .... to keep talking ... the UN had done this for 12 years ... we got the food for oil scam from the UN. So, Obama said it, people are hoping he's right...but only time will tell. I give Obama credit for going after Muslim jihadists and his stepping up the use of military drones to attack Muslim jihadists around the world. I don't support his handling of the enemy combatants. and INHERITED a major Depression -- that started on Bush's watch. Say, when did the Democrats take over Congress? Oh, right: 2006.

Keeping in mind that Congress was held by the Democrats as the US economy started south ... Congress controls the money and legislation. 4Q '07 or 1st Q '08 there was a Democratic Congress ... what did they do? Unemployment was about 4.6% at that time.
