Is bush the worst president in US history?

Question

Our fearless leader has accomplished some neat things here are just a few:
1) allowed an attack on US soil to occur
2) blamed an uninvolved nation for the attack and then invaded them
3) allowed illegal immigration to flourish, while violating US citizens personal rights via 'the patriot act'
4) blocked all attempts at universal healthcare for children
5) refuses to admit he lied to invade Iraq
6) Rigged 2000 election
7) Defends torture of US citizens held in prison on minute evidence of terror ties


This makes me think he is the worst president in history... bar none.

Republicans: Spare me your 'liberal commie liar' routine please!
Bush supporters who deny republican affiliation: I don't want to hear you blame clinton for 9/11 or say hussein caused 9/11 or had WMD's...
Everyone else I anticipate your responses...thank you for your time

I already said anyone proclaiming non-provable opinions on bush need not respond. I think BUSH HAS PROTECTED THE US is one of the most flawed statements in history...but thanks for posting

LAST TIME I SAY THIS: ANYONE WHO HAS NO TRUE FACTS ON THE SITUATION RELEVANT TO MY QUESTION....DON'T RESPOND. ANYONE WHO THINKS A BJ IS WORSE THEN A FALSE WAR.... DON'T RESPOND! Thank you

Comment for Shirley A: You are the one who has listened to too much propeganda. No wmds is still no WMDs whether you want to admit it or not. Also the fact that Jeb bush is in control of the state whose votes were wrongly tallied isn't a sign of a rigged election? I suppose you also believe bush fairly supports Black voters and that the katrina debacle doesn't prove he is an intolerant rascist egotistical rat?

One last remark:
Anyone who feels bush is the lord god and can do no wrong.....DON'T POST!
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WORSHIP THE GROUND G.W. WALKS ON.. BUT YOU CAN'T FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS!!

I see only the top 5% of Yahoo answerers answered my question. Those top 5% being the ones who did not misuse common terminology (Liberal isn't a curse word...look it up!) or resort to bashing my credibility. Any bush supporter who wishes to sway me may want to resort to non-childish statements to get thir point across. I admit i don't know everything but i know a Fascist coniving and lying murderer when i see one.

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

I think it's ridiculous to say Bush was the worst or Obama was the worst. People are just saying that because they hardly remember more than 3-5 presidents because they're so young. Before saying who's the all time worst or the best, you should actually read about all the presidents USA has had. What did they do, what happened during their presidency, how much the people loved/hated him....if you just do a survey and ask people "who do you think is the worst US president ever"? People will say Bush, Obama, Reagan, Carter, Bush sr.....you know the most recent ones.

Answer 3

If true facts is a requirement you should pull your question. You have not one true fact. But to answer your question Bush is not even in the top 10. You have Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, LBJ, Grant, Jackson, Buchannan, Coolidge, Hoover, Harding just off the top of my head. Others that some may add, I would not without more review, are FDR, Truman, JFK, Pierce, A. Johnson, Lincoln.
I personally likeTruman, JFK and think Pierce's veto message of May 3, 1854 should be read by everyone.
I also feel that history does not really understand Lincoln or A. Johnson and those who give them negative marks are just picking out 1 or 2 items and are not looking at the whole picture.
I also feel you are letting CBS, CNN, NPR and the New York Time do your thinking for you. You want to place blame where there is none and like most on the Left you do not want the facts. You can not win on facts so you just refuse to hear them If anyone is to blame for the war it is Jimmy Carter and Clinton.
They stop the recout because every Left wing group that did a recount would come up with more votes for Bush (see USA Today a very Left wing paper). Per war and torture you don't understand either and you lack a back ground in history. Per the lies, he did not say anything that every major Dem said in the 1990s. And calling something a lie does not make it a lie. Universal health care has not worked anywhere it has been try.
I give you the illegal immigration but the Left is as bad or worst.

Answer 4

On the contrary, He is the GREATEST President the USA has had in years! Especially what we had to endure during the Clinton Adminstration!

Thank GOODNESS!!!! Real Politicians RULE!!!!! Thank you, President Bush and V. President, Dick Cheney!!!

Take a chill pill...everyone is entitled to their opinion...you can't stop people from answering questions...hence the name: Yahoo ! Answers....

Answer 5

i absolutely agree that bush is a jackass, but i think that other presidents have done worse.
for example andrew johnson being lenient on the south and causing social inequality for another 100 years is ranked the #2 worst presidential mistake in history (http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/nation/02/20presidential.html)

so my answer is no, but he is complete bullshit

please excuse my language ;)

Answer 6

For the LAST time -NO- King George is not the worst. Many of you were either not born yet or are too young to remember Jimmy Carter. It's OK, you can recover from your ignorance.

Is the war wrong? Of course.
Has W increased our national debt? Without doubt.
But has he sucked up to terrorists and Marxist dictators? NO.

I rest my case.

Answer 7

1.Hmmm, so I guess the bombing of the World Trade Center was a figment of my imagination? I think not, get a clue dude.

2.The very people you support agreed with the President, they just flip flopped on their views.

3.Illegal immigration has been a major problem for years and it's not just the lame president but your goony democrats that continue to bring up for vote.
http://www.opencongress.org/articles/view/215-Reid-s-Secret-Immigration-Deal

4.There was a reason he vetoed that bill
""Congress made a decision to expand eligibility up to $80,000 (family income). That's not the intent of the program," President Bush said last week. "I believe this is a step towards federalization of healthcare... That's why I'm going to veto the bill."

5.Once again, the very people you support lied when they agreed to go to war, something that people like you cannot sweep under the rug anymore.

6.Ha, that many people slighted? I highly doubt that. Gore Bore LOST and dems just can't accept that.

7.Now I don't know where you came up with that but if you are talking about Jose Padilla, he is guilty and you want to know what torture is???

If you look in the background in this last link, please take note of the burned American hanging by his feet and terrorists cheering on.

Answer 8

No...that was between either Jimmy Carter or Warren G. Harding.

They really sucked!

.

EDIT NOTE: upon reading your numbered points I find most to be untrue.
1. the terrorists were in this country over a year before the attack, came in and trained under Clinton, no matter if you want to "hear it" or not it is a fact.

2.He invaded Iraq for other reasons, 5 were given of which WMD was only one.

3. I agree, he was not tough enough on boarder security. BUT...no U.S. Citizen has been "violated" by the Patriot Act, that was voted on twice, by congress Not done by GW.

4. Not only is this a complete lie by the liberal media, you fell for it. He actuall signed an INCREASE in the Chips program funding. What he refused to do was expand the program to cover familys that make as much as 80 thousand dollars a year.

5. He did not "lie", the whole world believed Iraq had WMD, in fact they used them against the Kurds and Iran. They were moved in the 6 months before we invaded. They are in Syria.

6. Yeah...I saw him gluing chads back into the vote cards...How insane.

7. Where did you dream up this one? We are holding NON Citizens , captured on the field of battle, out of uniform , with no identification. According to the rules of war, they are spies and we could shoot them, summary exicution is allowed by the Geniva convention. We chose to imprison them at Gitmo, so they would not have to pay for lawyers for all of them with US tax dollars, as the bleeding Liberals and ACLU would insist on if we brought them into the US.
.

EDIT 2: You are a typical liberal. Demanding no one speak that doesn't agree with your totally biased , false statements.

Just like the others, trying to silence talk radio with the " fairness doctrine" and trying to refuse freedom of speech if that speech doesn't agree with you. When are you going to have the book burnings?

Answer 9

I believe history will show Bush to be the worst and most corrupt president we have ever had. That is why we need to get Hillary elected so he does not have to carry that monkey on his back too long. Bush would like to see Hillary replace him as he knows, as poor a job as he did, she will do worse!

Answer 10

No, that would be Jimmy Carter followed by Bill Clinton. The first totally screwed up the country, and the second depleted the military and was impeached. Also, Clinton had the opportunity to oust Bin Laden and did nothing. And, by the way, all seven of your statements are pure garbage. You obviously are not even remotely informed and are more supportive of our enemies than our country.

Answer 11

One; two; the latter half of three; four; five; six and seven are flimsy opinions at best. Otherwise, a case could be made for the remainder of the charges.
