Of course Bush is one of the worst. What... in nearly eight years... has he accomplished? And that was with a friendly Congress for most of the time. (I know, I know, 2 Supreme Court Justices.)
Goodie for him. But other than that??
Other than the Iraq fiasco... what will his legacy be?
Well Billy, he did almost choke on some Pretzels, are you forgetting the peak in his career ? what a missed opportunity this was !
I think the word "failure" is being much too kind. That word connotates that he actually tried to make this country a better place. But, on the flip side, it has been a definate success for him and his cronies. Maybe that is what he meant by "Mission Accomplished"?
But anyway, who needs a Historian to tell us the Bush Administration is a failure for America as a whole?
Most people, aside from the remaining shameless Bush apologists, don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows...

You are stating that you wished our President died from choking? I find that in extremely poor taste, and offensive even if you put a smerky smile at the end.
I also see you are not from the U.S. If someone from the U.S stated the same sentiment regarding the leader of another country they would be considered uncouth.

An excellent question, and I agree. I suspect that they have their own agenda, which has absolutely nothing to do with history.
Ahh, and what might you suspect the secret agenda of these Presidential Historians is, Glitch. Do you think the historians have never speculated about current Presidents before? That is their job...that is all they do.

I guess there are a lot of uncouth people on the political forum then. Because I have seen a lot of pretty extreme sentiment regarding Chavez , Castro, Ahmadinejad, and many more besides. It was a joke anyway though I can't say I would weep for someone I ( and most of the world) consider a war criminal. Take a chill pill .
I couldn't agree more. This is just another form of indoctrination by the fanatical left. A bunch of left-wing academics get together to assess the current right-wing President, and we should be surprised by their partisanship? All too predictable, and all too meaningless.
They may be liberal, that does not mean they can't point out a stinker when they see one.
From the article.
Yet it seems clear that a similar survey taken during the presidency of Bush’s father would not have yielded results nearly as condemnatory. And, for all the distaste liberal historians had for Ronald Reagan, relatively few would have rated his administration as worse than that of Richard Nixon. Yet today 57 percent of all the historians who participated in the survey (and 70 percent of those who see the Bush presidency as a failure) either name someone prior to Nixon or say that Bush’s presidency is the worst ever, meaning that they rate it as worse than the two presidencies in the past half century that liberals have most loved to hate, those of Nixon and Reagan.
