W was the epitome of what happens when the far right get control of the white house.
Insane spending
Insane debt
Their corporate cronies are laughing all the way to the bank
The tax payer gets stiffed paying it.

Bush spent less on Afghanistan because he turned that foray into a virtual afterthought, focusing the U.S. military's efforts on his masterpiece of failure, Iraq.

Osama Bin Laden was an afterthought to Bush. The guy who brought 9/11 to our door! Worst president ever, by a mile.

it's true, both sides of the aisle pretty much suck.

But how do we destroy both parties and get back with people who may actually give a rat's ass about the country?
We agree again!

Nixon, Hoover, Harding, and Buchanan were worse IMO.

Oh, Obama ended the war when he said he would, he's nowhere near as bad as GWB (the worst president ever), and the final cost for the Iraq War is north of a trillion dollars. Bush = shorthand for FAILURE
they seem to be doing a good job actually. Alos seems to be a lot of neutral doig so also.Seems you look at just one which is Bush.

I wouldn't give Johnson and/or MacNamara a pass either.

I would agree, if for no other reason than I always believed Bush truly believed he was doing the right thing for the country, even though I disagreed with him. Nixon on the other hand I believe did what he thought was good for Nixon, the country/people be damned.
