[QUOTE="fidosim"] [QUOTE="plague32390"]I wonder if any Bush supporter can logically defend him and why they think he is a good president other then he "rocks" without being shot down by 10 different reasons why he has been named the worst president in history. Im curious as to how he has helped the country out one bit.PannicAtack
I think that honor goes to Abe Lincoln or FDR.
No, Buchanan. Lincoln and the Roosevelts areamoung the nation's best. >_>Both Lincoln and Roosevelt are notorious for vastly expanding the power of the federal government, and getting the credit for successes they really had nothing to do with. Lincoln drove the south to rebellion with his philosophy of an all-power federal government and undermining state rights. When the south got so fed up with him that they seceeded, Lincoln aggresively attacked and conquered them, and suspended Habias Corpus. He killed state rights and moved America toward authoritarianism. Roosevelt is credited with ending the depression and winning world war 2, while in reality he had very little to do with either. His "New Deal" didn't have much success until the US entered the war, and many of the acts that came with the new deal were deemed unconstitutional. He created Social security, was was ok at the time, but he is largely responsible for the disaster we are going through now. All of his long term government programs are crapping out and screwing our current generation over.
I don't buy into the idea of him winning the war either. He tried to avoid entering the war (which is a good thing, in my opinion), but it was the Japanese attackthat inspired the surge in military recruitment and industry and gave America the resolve to achieve success.
Both of these men favored short term glory over long term benefits. Both of them expanded big government and made policy decisions that hurt us in the long run.
