Clinton should die!!!! Kill Clinton!!!!!!! Hillary is the Anti-Christ!!!!!
I think I summed up the Neo-con answer to your question. Avoid giving a legitimate answer, but go for Clinton.
Bush would be the worst, but he was never elected president in the first place. First election was stolen and all indications were that the second was as well, but Kerry conceded rather than go through a whole series of kangaroo courts staffed by Bush appointees like they did in 2000. (Yes, I did say in 2000 they were Bush appointees, remember they were in Florida, as Bubba Jeb had his back). So is he the worst 'elected' president, probably not. Worst 'sitting' president.......hands down. At least the others could read with out 'Uncle Dick' spelling out the big words for them.

Yes he was. After President Clinton left, there was a surplus, after 2 yrs. of Bush, we were in a deficiet. The price of Oil per barrel on the day of his first inauguration, $40 a barrel, today $86. He signed the Perscription Drug bill that has hurt Americans nationwide. A bill for benchmarks for Iraq, and a plan for the troops, signed by both parties, was vetoed. A bill for childrens healthcare, also signed by both parties, again vetoed. So if he dosen't agree with democrats, republicans, or the people (check out a poll to see what americans think we should do), and were still over there this isn't a democracy, his administration is the only ones that desire to be there. So the President daily takes all of our rights and puts them to the side, like a Dictator. After the terrorist acts of 9/11, he didn't follow any of their recommendations, and the lead terrorist Osama Bin Ladin has been at large for 5 plus years. His first Secretary, Rumsfeld, didn't feel so bad about torturing detainnees, and the Attorney General ran his office the same way. President Bush has retired more Generals, and Admirals, in his OWN military than any other President in history. If these credentials were on anyone's else resume, I promise they would have been fired. But thats the difference between the U.S. and other countries, the gov't and the media tells us what THEY want, and for most of us, thats good enough. In other countries, they riot, they pickett, they care, we just chase money in our country, thats our lifes goal here unfortuantely.

That's really a hard one to judge. He surely isn't one of the best leaders we have had. But, while Harry Truman was in office, he was considered by everyone in the country as the worse president ever. That viewpoint didn't change until years after he left office. Today, he is thought of as one of America's finest presidents.
I don't see a Truman bounce in Bush's future. But then again, my crystal ball hasn't worked in years.

I don't know. Coolidge, Hoover... both terrible presidents. Nixon was a bigger criminal. Regan lost his mind during his 2nd term because of his brain disease. So, when Iran-Contra and giving WMDs to Sadam Husshein was pulled off behind his back, that was pretty seriously bad too. But, Bush has to be up there. I think the best he can be known as is Harry Truman. One that's hardly remembered.

No. I have come to the logical conclusion that he is possibly the dumbest president ever.

No. Best look at some history books? Google. We had several others who have left and time has proven them to be one or the other. The man is still in office? Not running for another term? Try clinton-selling weapons to China
clinton-executive orders
anything Clinton... try back a bit b4 you condemn GW. Or if you prefer stay with the pack of sheep ... I would try education first if it was me. Thanks.

Absolutely. Worst disaster that has ever befallen this country. Like the Orwell quote...I'd never heard that before.
