Bush is the worst
For this article, the authors took the results of 5 polls, 3 of which were taken before Bush "took" office. No wonder he doesn't make the list.
Just give it a little more time. As far as I know, Bush is the only president to sanction torture. That alone seals the deal.
But, wait, there's more!
Iraq, Abramoff, Blackwater, Hurricane Katrina, Terry Schiavo, Valerie Plame, Jeff Gannon, politicizing the Justice Dept, warrantless wiretapping, Abu Ghraib, the Great Recession, what am I forgetting?
Oh yeah, 9/11! He was warned by the Russians, he was warned by the Israelis, he was warned by the Germans. He was warned by his own National Security Advisor and by Richard Clarke. Still the towers fell, the worst attack on U.S. soil.
No way Bush gets excluded from this list. He worked hard to earn it.
Geez - This website is Fox News for liberals
LOL, these liberals crack me up. They try to write with such panache and as if they are completely unbiased. In the end, they forgive the sins of their liberal gods; then proceed to point out the flaws of conservative leaders and call them the worst presidents of all time. Come to grips with your crappy personalities you arrogant elitists. (Probably all school teachers and university staff making posts in here.)
bush sucks
Bush sucks. he didnt help the nation at all.
Welcome back to the discussion, America
I give many blessings and thanks to George W. Bush -- but not the reason you may think!
He was so unpopular, and angered so many Americans, that many who had been politically complacent became alive for the first time in their lives. This created a surge of polital interest among the public at large.
That resulted in the election of Barach Obama, which has now in turn also ingnited the political indignation of many who sat by complacently during the Bush years. Their status-quo has been threatened by the changes the Obama administration has proposed.
The net result is a fired-up America! Hoo-ya! This hands-on political activism is what our Forefathers (and foremothers) envisioned for us. So, again I say, thank you Jee Dub-yah (GW). We couldn't have done it without you.
Bush's Effect on the National Debt
The impact of the Bush Administration on the National Debt can not be disregarded. Two massive tax cut, 2 wars, Medicare D (Prescription Drug Benefit), and the fact that America is aging (73M @ 62 years or older) will in all likelihood bankrupt America. The inevitable increase in expenditure for Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will force America to increase taxes while cutting benefits in the near future. It is highly likely that foreign countries will no fund America's increasing budget deficit. This burden is not completely the Bush Administration's responsibility; the aging American population is inevitable. A tremendous amount of pain and suffering both now and in the future can be directly linked to the Bush Administration. This in no way is the extent, in both depth and breath, of the failures of W's administration.
We as collective American's can not and should not allow this issue to become blurred by rhetoric from either of the so call political parties.
Unbelievable
I cannot believe that George W. Bush could be considered one of the worst Presidents. What type bias Historians determined this.
History will prove he was the right man for the times and met the challenges he faced head on without wavering.
As for as the person who commented above regarding the Katrina fiasco you need to understand the fact. That fiasco lay solely in the hands of the incapable New Orleans and Louisiana Government. Law should be changed due to their failure to act to give the Federal Government authority to take over under similar situations before they get out of hand as this did. I live in Mississippi where this storm came ashore and we did not have these problems since our State Government had a plan and acted properly.
The people making these judgments need to open their eyes and see the world and our leaders for what is really going on instead of looking though some partisan lens.
Do I agree with G.W. Bush on everything he did absolutely not however I am thankful he was the President during challenges we faced after the turn of the century.
BUSH??
Georgia Bush was the WORST president we could've ever have!!

FDR has my vote
FDR has my vote for one of the "worse." Thanks to his policies the depression grew worse, he gave us income tax, and was a bully to the Court..
