Do you think that shrubby (pres bush) is the worst president in our history??

Question

I think it's obvious, but that's just me.

Answer 1

lol, I just don't see Bush as #1 at anything, not even that. He's a mediocre little man, trying to strive for greatness, he can't even fill his daddy's shoes much less that of truly great men. as for being the worst, he's got nothing on Ford.

Answer 2

What is obvious is that you are a punk nosed kid with a brain the size of a pea! Shrubby! What the hell kind of word is that?

I think that history will determine the value of George Bush's presidency. For now though, he gets some pretty high marks for his response to 9/11. He may not do so well regarding Iraq and the economy. He is trying to improve foreign affairs however, there are adversaries out there that won't let that happen.

All in all, given the hugh problems that George Bush has faced, he will still get passing grades.

Answer 3

George W. Bush is, indisputably, the best president in the history of the United States. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that he's the best leader EVER, trumping everyone from Winston Churchill (a drunk) to King David (a pretty-boy shepherd according to the prophet Samuel and a girlie man according to Gov. Schwarzenegger). His notion of preemption would've worked wonders for Lincoln, Roosevelt, and the guy in Independence Day.

No more attacks since 9-11. Bush has fulfilled the most basic obligation he has as President: to protect and preserve the Union against attack.

He has vision. While other politicians would only see in alterable chaos in the Middle East, Bush saw a region ripe for change. He understands that everyone years to be free. Now, people all over the Middle East are clamouring for their chance at democracy. They've seen it, they want it.

You can trust him. Whether you like or dislike Bush, practically anyone will agree that he does what he says. He is very plain spoken. With other politicians like Kerry, you would get a different speech depending on what state you were in.

Answer 4

Yes.

1. He's violated more federal laws than any other president in history. (Tapping US phones, leaking CIA names, money laundering with Texas, lying about Iraq under oath, etc)
2. He's ran up a larger deficit than any other president in history.
3. He's violated more international laws that any other president in history (Guantanamo Bay, Abu Graibe). So Geneva conventions don't apply? Do we really think China or other countries will stand by Geneva conventions when we won't?
4. He's gotten all of our allies mad at us (France, Spain, Britain, Germany, Japan, China, Russia, etc).
5. He led us into a war in Iraq where more soldiers have died than in 9/11 and where the intelligence was intentionally altered to go in
6. It is harder for college students to find a job. There has been a 260% increase in the number of students that take 6 months or longer to find a job after graduation.
7. We have lost more jobs to overseas countries than with any other president.
8. The cost of living has dramatically risen.
9. The number of house foreclosures is at an all-time high.
10. The economy is dramatically slowing.
11. The housing market is dramatically slowing.
12. Gas prices have doubled in a little over 2 years.
13. His response to Katrina was dramatically slow, people were rotting in the streets and still no help was sent. It shouldn't take 10 days to respond.
14. He thinks he can violate even laws that he signs into effect by putting a signed statement on there stating he doesn't have to abide by it if he doesn't want to. He's put those on basically every bill he has signed into law (over 400), basically attempting to make himself above the law.
15. If the cost of the Iraq war were figured per household, it would cost each household at least $19,600.
16. Donald Rumsfeld knew about the attrocities at Abu Graibe and never did anything about it till the pictures were leaked because he thought "it wasn't of any importance." Afterwards, he gave his resignation to Bush 3-4 times and each time Bush rejected his resignation.

Need I keep going!

I was born and raised a Republican. I've voted Republican almost explicitly until the last election, but even an idiot should be able to realize that Bush isn't doing a good job. Go Democrats in 2006!

Answer 5

Well, I think he is the worst in international relations, but he is not necessarily the worst in National issues. I don't agree with him very often at all (almost never), but he seems to have been able to do some (and I stress some) good things for the US nationally. His international relations is atrocious, to the point of a bull in a china shop. He has the charisma of a skunk and the speechcraft of Hellen Keller. Bottom line, he isn't someone I would want to represent my country to the world.

Answer 6

Carter allowed Iran to become the threat it is today, and was horrible at domestic policy (highest interest rates in our history, massive unemployment, etc).

FDR kept us in recession for 8 years and instituted the welfare state. Although he did at least fight WW2, so that keeps him off the very bottom.

Wilson sold the governement to the Federal Reserve, leading to our current debt of $9 trillion dollars (owed to the Federal Reserve, not foreign governments, which is owned by private bankers)

Bush is not great, his domestic policies suck, but at least he is fighting the war on terror (more than we can say for the New York Times and the Democrats). So he'll probably end up somewhere in the middle.

Answer 7

No, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is by far the worst. His "New Deal" has become "Persistent Welfare." He could of been one of the greatest, with WWII bringing the nation out of the Depression during his time in office, but he did not put time limits on all his "New Deal" programs. Because of him, taxpayers support people who are not willing to support themselves. I know that in some instances, government assistance is needed, but there must be welfare reform. Too many people abuse the program, and it ends up perpetuating itself on future generations. FDR sucked for that one reason.

Answer 8

No, if you want the worst President, you might take a look at 20th century Democratic Presidents. That list provides several worthy candidates.

Answer 9

what number situations do you human beings ought to keep asking this similar question? you're gonna get a similar solutions from a similar human beings. Drink some Kool-help and also you recognize on your heart that's Jimmy 444 Carter.

Answer 10

NO allthough hes not a good president i can think of three in my lifetime worse than him Nixon, Carter, and REGAN!
