There's nothing racist about your statement. I have said the very same thing hundreds of times on this forum. Bush IS, by far, the WORST U.S. President in the history of the United States, to date. History will concur.
My "Top Ten" BEST U.S. Presidents:
10. Franklin D. Roosevelt
9. Harry Truman
8. Theodore Roosevelt
7. John F. Kennedy
6. Dwight D. Eisenhower
5. George Washington
4. Jimmy Carter
3. William Jefferson Clinton
2. Thomas Jefferson
1. Abraham Lincoln
My "Top Five" list of the WORST U.S. Presidents:
5. Herbert Hoover
4. George H.W. Bush
3. Lyndon B. Johnson
2. Ronald Reagan
1. George W. Bush

First, as much as YOU may like your opinion, it does not make it a "factual statement." Generally, factual statements are backed up by scholary FACTS that can be proven and demostrated.
Secondly, while I disagree with your opinion (I say that distinction goes to Jimmy Carter, followed closely by Bill Clinton) you are correct in your assesment that it is not a racist comment, albeit ignorant.

No, it is not racist. But it may be narrow minded depending on how many presidents you have actually known. It sounds like an inflammatory statement.

It shouldn't have been interpreted as racist, merely as unbelievably ignorant.
