Obviously, Bush is the worst president in US history, but answer me this?

Question

what do you think will be the epitome of his mountain of failure?
If you are a right wing bushbot, please feel free to respond. You guys are hilarious.

See what I mean? These guys are clueless.
Hyperbole over facts, every time.

Wow, listen to these little female bushmonkeys shriek. They're gonna start flinging their own poop here in a minute...

Lee - it doesn't get a lot of nonsense shrieks from the drama queen bushmonkeys. They always act that way.

Answer 1

Bush isn't just a bad president, he makes God feel like a failure for creating him.

Answer 2

Your attitude isn't exactly open-minded. I'm not a Bush fan, but this:

"If you are a right wing bushbot, please feel free to respond. You guys are hilarious."

Not constructive.

And this:

"Wow, listen to these little female bushmonkeys shriek. They're gonna start flinging their own poop here in a minute..."

Really childish. If that isn't "hyperbole over facts," I don't know what is.

In my opinion, Andrew Jackson was the nation's worst president. Go look up the Trail of Tears and see why I think so.

Answer 3

Everyone has jumped on the band wagon to bash Bush.
It is the current popular topic for people to express their views.
Even if they have to make up something to express. Just so they can stay in the main stream of popularity.

Sounds like the old story "Monkey See Monkey do".

Just fall in with the rest of the sheep and express your views. Whatever these folks do they encourage each other not to think out of the box.

Answer 4

Well, where to start? :)

Seriously--as a historian, I'll give you my guess based on how historians generally evaluate presidents. That tends to be based on two criteria: was the administration in getting his agenda implemented? Second, did the adminstration succeed with its policies in achieving its objectives? I'll leave aside evaluations of wwhether the philosophy/political stance was "good" or "bad" till the end--the first two tend to gain cnsensus from historians regardless of their personal politics, though obviously not the latter.

Implementing poicy--first term. Except for getting the Iraq war resolution and the tax cuts, no real accomplishments. Bush failed to get his Social Secruity or any other major legislation through.
Secod term--possibly the least effective in US history. Bush, especially for the last year, has no agenda except to continue the war. But even with bipartisan support, he's been unable to even get an immigration bill passed.

Results: bush has possibly the worst record of outcomes of any president. The economy is tanking, his anti-environmentalefforts have been reduced to mere fodder for ridicule. His" pro-business" policy is running aground on scandles like the contaminated toys, the mine safetyscandel, etc. On foreign policy--it's a complete disaster. And the current lull in Iraq isn't going to help--it can be maintained only with a higher troop presence than we can keep there-and even his most ardent supporters have got to see that the curent situation is going to demad redployemnt of Us force, and soon.
Enrgy prices are through the roof, the housing market has crashed, inflation is up, the dollar is at historic lows. . .

Evaluation--and yes, I do tend to take a liberal view. From that perspective, a lot of historians are going to view Bush very harshly. They will point not only to the mess his adminstration has created, but to his disregard of both Constitutional law, international law, and the will of the Amrican people. He will be seen as on a footing with the likes of Joeseph McCarthy.

IF he's lucky. Now this is admittedly personal opinion--but there is a lot that has gone on behind the scenes that we do not know about. Depending on what surfaces over the next few decades, Bush could end up condemed by conservatives and liberalsalike. I don't think anything will surface to improve his image.

A final note--in my estimation, Bush will eventually be seen as something of a puppet whose strings are being pulled by Cheney --who will, in all liklihood, be judged even more negatively by historians.

All this is contingent on how Bush handles the current crisis in Pakistan (if it blows up). If he mishandles this one, he'll be lucky if he's not forced to resign along with Cheney. The consequences of another failure there are far greater than most people realize. Either this spreading conflict stops there--now--or we are in for a third world war.

Answer 5

The quagmire of Iraq probably best epitomizes his presidency. No-bid contracts for contracts that haven't been done or done haphazardly. Mercenaries like Blackwater running around willy-nilly shooting up Iraqi civilians. Our soldiers having to find their own armor to uparmor their humvees, a military-industrial complex that was already too powerful and influential becoming all powerful and influential. The terrible treatment of our wounded soldiers at Walter Reed. The fact that there weren't weapons of mass destruction. The embarassment of having it pointed out to us that we gave Saddam weapons to kill his own people and Iranians. But most importantly, the fact that invading Iraq hasn't made us safer, in fact, it's made the world even more dangerous for us and has completely shredded our international credibility.

Answer 6

Actually the worse president was Franklin Pierce. I like how you parrot the same things every other lib clone says, you guys are actually getting boring.

Answer 7

Two Presidents were impeached - one President was forced to resign! Some historians consider Warren G. Harding to have been the worst President. Jimmy Carter gave the US-owned Panama Canal (which was built at the cost of *much* US money, toil, sweat *and* lives) away to Panama (said transfer to take place *after* his presidency ended!)! The country of Panama, which the United States help to be established as a separate country (no longer part of Columbia), then turned the Canal over to the Chi-Comms, who now control both ends of this *very* strategic water-way! Plus the Carter Administration was responsible for double-digit inflation *and* double-digit home mortgage rates! And you say President George W. Bush is the worst President in U. S. history? Get real!

Answer 8

There you go, stating opinion as fact. I don't feel that President Bush is the worst President in the last decade, let alone history.

I would personally say the worst thing he did was sending us back to Iraq without a declaration of war. As a nation, we're very good at fighting wars, but not so much at fighting non-wars.

Answer 9

Obviously, there are some unintelligent people in here...Come on, Right-wing nuts and Libtards? Grow up a bit, please.

George Bush will undoubtedly be remembered for the Iraq war. Unless there is a major turnaround within the next year with the status of the war, it will not be a positive mark on his presidency.

Answer 10

you need to take a nice long puff on the PEACE pipe. you're trying to pick a fight. what is the point? to raise people's blood pressure? take it easy, brother. we're all on the same side. Life is good, but only if you are optimistic. I hope you have a great day!!!

Answer 11

Sheesh... feel the love here. Bush will not even be remembered 100 years from now. Kind of like William McKinley - you know...the guy who was president during the Spanish American War.
