Shall I explain why Bush will not "eventually" be remembered as a great president?

Question

On online discussion boards, whenever someone says Bush is the worst US president ever, one of his very few remaining supporters says something like, "That's what they said about Abraham Lincoln."

Indeed, Lincoln went through a period of unpopularity, however there's a few key differences between him and Bush.

1. Lincoln's foreign policies didn't suck. Lincoln managed to maintain decent relations with other countries, unlike Bush who has turned most of the world against us.

2. Lincoln won his war in four years. Bush's war has passed the four year mark, with no end in sight. Even Bush has stated that the war will go past his presidency.

3. Lincoln tried to avoid his war. He waited until the other side threw the first punch at Ft. Sumter. (I'm referring to Iraq BTW, NOT Afghanistan. )

4. Lincoln made it very clear he disapproved of the fact that he had to go to war, and several great anti-war quotes were made by him. Bush has had nothing but good to say about Iraq.

Katja, well of course you wouldn't have wanted me to explain. I might have made too much sense.

Answer 1

The far right won't stop their metronome like droning for something so rational as this.

There were moonbat supporters of Nixon too.

Answer 2

No. All 4 of your factors are fake: a million) White abode staffers have been arrested indicted and found accountable or plead accountable to variety of crimes. Male Prostitute Jeff Gannon Guckert visited the White abode over a hundred circumstances. The legal expert time-honored is a liar, Bush and Cheney violated the form and could be impeached. Bush administration is morally bankrupt. 2) A doubtful fact at ultimate 3) the middle classification has decreased in length under Bush and extra wealth is concentrated interior the palms of fewer human beings interior the U. S. than any time through fact the 1890's. 4) "No baby left at the back of" has had no important effect on practise interior the U. S. and the rustic lags at the back of Europe, Japan and Korea interior the huge-unfold of practise. No political student i understand of may cost Bush as a great president, maximum cost him the the worst ever.

Answer 3

Well, if the worldwide war by Islamic fanatics against non-believers magically goes away once Bush leaves office, I guess you will be right.

But if it continues and escalates, Bush will be recognized as the only world leader who saw it coming, tried to rally the world, and was vilified for it. Like Winston Churchill was in the 30s.

My money is on the second scenario.

Answer 4

So basically you didn't even give a chance to answer your question and started going of on Bush although my answer would have been..."No, i don't want you to explain!!!"

Edit: 9/18....
I never said i am a Bush-supporter, its just the fact, that you basically made a statement here instead of really asking something, like you are supposed to do here on Yahoo Answers...!
