Bush pulled some boners, but this one has him beat...by a long shot! So yes, Bush is looking better and better with every passing day.

I do think Bush was a horrible president.

He started a war with a country that was not involved with 9/11 attacks. Based on LIES.

He refused to allow a full investigation of 9/11 for over a full YEAR. The worst crime in U.S. history and he would not allow it to be investigated (until the evidence was cold.)

He did an absolutely rotten job on the New Orleans flood disaster. Just showed up for a photo op.

He took a country in good financial shape and ran it into the ground.

I judge Bush to be the worst president.

If only we could re-elect a past two-term president, I would certainly vote for him again!
There were 3000 people in NYC on 9/11 tha he did not manage to keep safe. I don't think that their family members will agree with you. Bush did not take office on 9/12/01. IT HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH!!!!!

It never fails...every now and then somebody makes the sltupid remark that Bush kept us safe. What universe are you living in?

Lying a nation into a war is a boner that cost over 40000 American soldiers lives and the lives of over one million Iraqis...I see. Wheres Osama bin Laden BTW? Tax breaks for the rich during a war while Haliburton and various other corrupt entities are war pofiteering with no bid contracts. Is that a boner too? Katrina was quite a boner, wasn't it?

Bush, unlike Obama has also had a proven track record of success running a government (Texas in this case). From a macro point of view, myself family, and friends were safe, and well off financially under his leadership during both terms.

The GOP got a bad name because of the media gave it a bad name. The news organizations hate GW Bush. It's evident in everything they publish. They hassled him and his entire administration like their was no tomorrow... and many of the accusations were speculatory. The American people soaked it up and continue to this day regirgitating what they heard, read, or watched on the news, even though many don't truly understand the full story behind everything.

These are terrible arguements copy and pasted off Bill Mahr.

We went to war with Iraq with large public support based on information given to us (public and President) by our Intelligence sector. Bush did not hatch a plan with Cheney in the Oval Office about how to trick the public into wanting to go so they could get oil contracts.

If your implying Bush was behind 9/11.....I don't know what to do.

You can find more info about NO online, Bush had to wait for the Governor to call in national relief. Bush was not in charge of FEMA when they did a crappy job.

He did not drive a car name "Economy" and wreck it. Policies Bush tried to reform 17 TIMES regarding Freddie and Fannie were blocked by top Dems help lead to the housing bubble, and what do all bubbles do?

I don't see how anyone that has listened to Bush, Kerry and Gore speak could POSSIBLY think that Kerry and Gore are as big of a baffoon as Bush, sorry.....

You don't have to like Kerry or Gore's policies, but there's no way in Hades anyone can ever convince me that Bush is as intelligent, or moreso than either of them....

The handwriting on the wall concerning Obama means utter catastrophe for us. It remains to be seen the level of devastation and fallout we will incur with this Boob in Chief and his hacks. But suspect it will make BushBoy's foibles look like small potatoes.

Bush's IQ = 123
Kerry's IQ = 120

Public speaking is not indicitive of intelligence, and if you think so then you are obviously in the lower bracket yourself "awed" by the man with the pretty mouth.

Bush will always be remembered as "The Worst President Ever." He will never be able to shake that title. With damn good reason too. You can defend him until you are blue in the face, but his actions attitudes and policies were indefensible. Look at where this nation was after the atrocious years of his Presidency. To judge the current POTUS against idiot boy after only eight months is ludicrous and reveals utter supidity.
