Question

You don't have to be a history major.
Any reason to think that President Bush deserves a certain ranking is fine.
Some think that he is a good President! Give reasons!
Some think that he is no good as President! Support your view.
Plz, keep the length reasonable, no screeds! I don't weigh answers!

Answer 1

Dead last, he has lost the popularity that he had with poor decisions all through his term in office with the worst being lying to the American people about his reasons for going to war in Iraq.

Answer 2

Probably as the worst your country has ever had. Hopefully , by then they will have put the Constitution back together and nullified the many facist style laws he has put in place. I'm assuming he will not have changed the Constitution to make him Pres. for life.

By that time, however, the true culprets will have been exposed, Cheney,Bush Sr, WTO, ,and that Georgie will be seen simply as a stooge, more to be pitied than laughed at. How long can you hold a grudge against a turnip.

Answer 3

George W. Bush will pass down in historic previous as between the final maximum achieved Presidents of america. His speech after Sep 11, 2001 Terrorist assaults at america soil is already quoted heavily. I think of that this speech will ring for the era of historic previous. His rules steaming from this destruction would be a commencing place for the rustic from here on out so as that human beings can stay in pursuit of happiness. Immigration has been a platform that Pres. GW Bush has worked on for the era of his administration and he has carried out a sturdy pastime balancing human rights, exertions, company desires, and these days working in direction of imposing rules to quickly create tight boarders. Thank God Pres. GW Bush is working to guard the family contributors. he's done plenty to maintain marriage, and unborn fetus' rights. Marriage is a spiritual sacrament and GW Bush is keeping this ... he's likewise supported many rules against evil abortions, and stem cellular learn. additionally, we can keep in mind how Pres. GW Bush made the 1st actual steps to fixing Social secure practices which has technically been broke on the grounds that FDR created the stupid application. Pres. GW Bush has had the fortune to nominate the Most worthy human beings in our usa ... the ideal Justices (stay appointments), and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (12 3 hundred and sixty 5 days appointment) ... so Pres. GW Bush's legacies will stay invariably by way of them ... and in the process my voice of thank you that he's given plenty.

Answer 4

I think he'll be remembered as one of the best presidents. Time will show that he was right in taking the fight to the terrorists, that his tax cuts worked to save the economy after 9/11, the WMD will have been found somewhere, etc. Unfortunately, I think the reason he's hated so much is that the liberals are taking the impeachment of Clinton personally. In 50 years, that will be long forgotten, and he will be seen as he should be.

Answer 5

Popularity won't matter to historians 50 years from now. Look at Harry Truman; he was absolutely villified when he left office, yet he is ranked in the top 10.

Truthfully, I think he will be ranked in the bottom third of presidents. His exploitation of 9/11 to pass the Patriot Act with all its attendant issues will be a negative. His obvious mishandlilng of both Afghanistan and Iraq will be judged as failures, especially Iraq which historians will point out had numerous justifications for going to war. His handling of Katrina will be harshly judged, especially because his rhetoric doesn't match his actions. He will also be poorly judged for the 2000 elections, even if it wasn't ALL his doing. (His brother Jeb Bush and the U.S. Supreme Court had their respecitive roles.)

He's not as bad as Nixon, who tried to subvert the Constitution for his own benefit.

Answer 6

He will be ranked as the worst president ever in the history of the USA. . To be brief, during his two terms in office our country has gone down the tubes. He operates on the premise that the Government is for the Government, by the Government ignoring the constitution that states the Government is "FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE" and that he was selected to represent us not rule.

Answer 7

the bad, Carter, the worse, Nixon, the WORST BUSH! thats the bottom 3 presidents of the US. If Goofy wins in 2008 that will bush Carter out of the bottom 3 but the other 2 will remain at the bottem

Halliburton

Answer 8

Bush is the best or the worst president because the ranking depends on the discretion of the person or organization if against or pro-Bush.

Answer 9

well truthful his rating will truthful depend on the outcome in Iraq. but he is a president that has lead us from a recession to a great economy, standing strong after 911, for Katrina there is enough blame to go around for every one. the Patriot act has not taking any rights away from any one. that should have been made law after the first world trade center bombing.( the people whom bombed it used the public library to find out the info on the building) to establish a firm government in Iraq would be a great accomplishment. to go after terrorist that attack us.

Answer 10

Probably the worst and least qualified in American history.
Elected under dubious circumstances in 2000
A record number of foreign policy blunders and bad decisions that left us isolated and hated after a terrorist attack that happened on his watch. He has been solidly attacked for poor performance, can't speak publicly and his administration is stripping Americans of their civil rights and constitiutional protection. Also he lies. Due to lies we are mired down in a bugus war based on false pretenses.

Answer 11

Hopefully we can keep this village idiot our dirty little secret and never speak of him again. Let history quote him in a compilation of his usual stammering and hemming and hawing that we have listened to for the past eight years! good riddance to him!
