George W. Bush

the whole 1st page of posts concluded that the worst president in history is

"Good president"

"Americal Hero"

"Excellent in bed"

"Sexy middle initial"

and

"He likes taco's" (with an apostrophe?)

Thats what I meant, the 2002. Also averaging the two's votes by their numbers is different from what happened in most of the rest of the polls as far as I can tell and skews the results if the two are (as I expect) statistically lopsided. What you are effectively getting is the same BS we have in voting, those in states with fewer people have more of a vote per person and those in parties with fewer have more of a say as well.

No, it looks like all were treated the same - average the rankings from each poll over the years. Recent Presidents like Bush and Clinton will naturally appear in fewer polls (they're not going to appear in the 1962 rankings). With a few notable exceptions (Reagan in particular), the rankings seem to be fairly consistent over the years.

Anyhoo, I don't want to dwell too much on this article. The original point was simply that historians depict Bush as an average President, a far cry from the bumbling incompetent blockhead we all like to poke fun at.

Hes a great president, but he cant master the english language very well.

Most people think he is stupid. They always say "George Bush is an idiot he should of blah blah terrorist blah blah environment blah blah health care".

I personally like him and I understand that he is very intelligent (maybe not good with words, but grammar doesn't mean political understanding people = / ) and I know that he knows what the heck he's doing.

He doesn't even know what sovereignty means...and he's the president....

Watch...

It has to do with the "blatant liberal background" jab. Most sane people would say an invasion without a real strategy is bad, or that overpaying for shoddy work is bad, or that drastically increasing spending while drastically decreasing income is bad, or that people without a good record hiding things from you is bad, or that explicitly exempting yourself from following the law should be punished, or that taking away rights without any proof of competence or effective increases in security is bad.

All of these things are Republican positions of recent and are considered a positive thing by many Republicans out there, even those who should know better and seeing as Republicans tend to applaud themselves as conservatives..its a fitting response to your attack on the person's character.

That still has nothing to do with my comment about the author concerning the article he composed. My statement has nothing to do with his moral bindings, with who is right or who is wrong, or even liberal v conservative. It has everything to do with someone on one end of an extreme, commenting on something at the other end of thespectrum. Which, typically comes off as biased, which the article is. That is what I was saying.

George W Bush sucks

There is so much evidence

He is probably the worst US President to date

This president...Uh... he's embarrasing. And he's not my President!!

A Little light relief for those who need a joke after the facts.

He has been decent; and has had to make many tough decisions.

What are your thoughts about Madonna?

i agree

the last link is pretty funny

Anybody ever been to the Lincoln museum in Springfield, Illinois? There was a room in the building that showed a bunch of critical paintings of him. There was one where he was depicted as a monkey, another where he was the devil, and even one showing Lincoln as death(the grim reaper) trying to kill a woman(a representation of the U.S.) with a knife. My point is, even our greatest presidents were heavily criticized but look at how we view them now. This may sound crazy to you, but maybe a generation or so later he'll be called one of the greatest presidents our country has ever known. I'm not saying it will happen, I'm just saying it's entirely possible.

For everyone saying George W. Bush is the "worst president ever," Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding and Andrew Johnson disagree with you.

I don't like him, and I don't support the war. But he has not done anything illegal contrary to popular belief, and there is something to be said for respecting the office of the President of the United States, even if you disagree with the administration on every issue. If you dislike him that much, vote in somebody who will turn our nation around, and use your privilege to peacefully and legitimately oppose your government. Resorting to personal attacks and hate spewing don't get anything done. Quit hiding behind your computer screen and comparing him to Hitler and go vote and get involved.Rhythmic_

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Goering at the Nuremberg Trials

An American patriot is NOT somebody who supports his government. If that's what the American definition of a patriot were, we would not have been calling George Washington, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, James Madison, Thomas Payne, John Hancock and all the rest of them "patriots" would we? Those true patriots were all men who openly advocated revolt against THEIR government. That's what made them American patriots in the first place.

THEIR government, the one oppressing them in 1775, was headquartered in London, England.

MY government, the one oppressing me in 200X, happens to be located in Washington D.C.

Sound at all familiar?Are you aware that GW's grandfather, Prescott Bush, ran the bank that funded Hitler The New York Herald-Tribune called him "Hitler's Angel."D9-THC

Not to excuse Prescott Bush for his ties to German banking, but it was Fritz Thyssen that the Herald-Tribune called "Hitler's Angel", not Prescott Bush.

Alright...I stand corrected...

But I will post this picture to further prove a point...

I believe he has commited war crimes, and he's one of the worst presidents ever in American history-Sniper99-

I like how people blurt that out. As if 373 other people didn't agree.

I love him. As a Canadian, I rather enjoyed buying my last vehicle in North Dakota for $9500 less. Thank you, George!Zeke129

.......:roll:

Did you know that if our dollar is so strong, its actually more because of raw materials' prices goin up, because Canada's economy is based upon those??? Try to know more about economics before saying something like "I love him", when theres nearly no correlation between him and our currency's value.

Did you actually knew that International Laws, the kind you find in a treaty, actually have authority over national laws when the said country has ratified the said treaty? Well, you see, USA are part of the UN, and one of the UN's most basic principles is the non-use of violence in international relations and the respect of sovereignty of States on their own territory.

Where Im goin with that? Iraq. USA invaded Iraq without the approval of the UN, goin against the said principles every State part of the UN has to respect. Yes, he did somethin illegal. He even treathened the whole idea of worldwide peace. Do you know why countries accept to work with each other under the UN? Because they got guarantees of certain principles, as the non-use of violence.

What did USA with those principles?Theysh*tted on them

Great for Canada, not so great for those of us in the States.

He's screwed us over in the long run. Clinton finally got us out of debt and then Bush blows it all on Nat'l security...Lord__Darkstorn

Lol, when did Clinton get us out of debt??

He didn't get us out of debt, but he stopped our borrowing habit..for a time.

Select company, indeed. :D

Plus anyone who can make GHW "I barfed and then passed out on the Japanese Prime Minister" Bush look like a seasoned international diplomat deserves some sort of special recognition, right? Right...?

Is overall one of the best comedians in the world today:)-Hells_Gate-

Nearly every American I talk to says 'I hate George W Bush' and then I'm like 'Didn't you people vote him in? Twice!?' and then they are like '...' and then 'I didn't vote' PerilousWolf

George Bush actually lost both races. The first time, he was elected just because of electoral votes while most people voted for Gore....His re-election was bogus because he was proven to have actually lost to Kerry due to voting machines that counted backwards....

He's underrated anyway. It's just become so ridiculous that anyone can just go "I hate Bush" and make friends. Without putting any input into it at all, I don't see how you guys are any smarter than him. What if someone in Kenya said "I hate the French" just because his myspace friends from England said they didn't like them. That's just about as stupid of an arguement you guys are bringing up. Give it a rest.
