Well?
Looking Back Is George W Bush the Worst President Over The Last 50 Years?
- Thread starter thoughtone
- Start date
Nixon was the worst. He didn't like minorities and felt he was above the law.
Reagan's up there to but let some people tell it, he was the best we ever had.
W was just hokey... a puppet president. His VP and advisers ran the country for 8 years.

Over Two Hundred presidential scholars ranked the 43 U.S. Presidents on six personal attributes (background, imagination, integrity, intelligence, luck and willingness to take risks), five forms of ability (compromising, executive, leadership, communication and overall) and eight areas of accomplishment including economic, other domestic affairs, working with Congress and their party, appointing supreme court justices and members of the executive branch, avoiding mistakes and foreign policy.

The American people are worst for electing him twice, it isn't a bad president under a democracy, it is the people that put somebody like that in power. President Obama is a little better but there are too many people unemployed or on food stamps, I don't know if it is Republicans behind it, some of it might be bad policy decisions.
Capitalism is similar to what animals do, instead of going out and planting the food or having livestock they need to survive, they rely on the 'market' which is nature to provide for them.
More intelligent economic systems plan out what people need unlike animals, they aggressively go out and do the things they need to survive instead of relying on Nature to provide for them. I hope that herd of animals come my way so I can shoot my arrow at them versus just raising livestock that will be killed later for dinner. It is a primitive system, as compared to others.

I think LBJ, and Gerald Ford has Bush beat.
On what basis do you compare Ford's few years with Bush's 8 years???
I know that they call it the windy city, but it must have been a very strong gust that blew you in ?

Americans Still Blame Bush More Than Obama for Bad Economy
About half of Republicans blame Bush
by Frank Newport
PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans continue to place more blame for the nation's economic problems on George W. Bush than on Barack Obama, even though Bush left office more than three years ago. The relative economic blame given to Bush versus Obama today is virtually the same as it was last September.
Gallup first asked this "blame assessment" question in July 2009, six months after Obama became president. At that point, 80% of Americans gave Bush a great deal or a moderate amount of blame, compared with 32% who ascribed the same level of blame for the bad economy to Obama. The percentage blaming Bush dropped to about 70% in August 2010, and has stayed roughly in that range since. Meanwhile, about half of Americans have blamed Obama since March 2010, with little substantive change from then to the present.
Americans continue to name the economy as the most important problem facing the country, and in an election that likely will be defined by a struggling economy, the question of who is responsible for it will weigh heavily in voters' minds. Both Obama and presumed Republican nominee Mitt Romney as a result have focused heavily on the economy in their campaigns, the most recent example of which is the major economic speech Obama will deliver Thursday in the key swing state of Ohio. Romney has attempted to place blame for the country's continuing economic struggles squarely on Obama's shoulders. At the same time, the Obama campaign is trying to deflect blame away from the president, in part by assigning blame to his predecessor.
The relative amount of blame Americans give to Obama and to Bush has largely stabilized over the last two years. It remains to be seen whether Americans are open to further discussion of those issues in the months remaining before the Nov. 6 election, or whether their minds are made up.
Half of Republicans Blame Bush
Republicans and Democrats distribute economic blame in different ways, as was the case last September. Democrats follow what might be described as a fairly traditional pattern: 90% blame Bush, in contrast to 19% who blame Obama.
Republicans, however, are more ecumenical in their blame, with 83% blaming Obama a great deal or moderate amount and 49% ascribing the same level of blame to Bush. Republicans, in short, are significantly more willing to blame their most recent Republican president than are Democrats willing to blame Obama.
Independents are substantially more likely to blame Bush (67%) than to blame Obama (51%) for the nation's economic problems, a finding that no doubt provides some comfort to the Obama re-election campaign. And fewer independents blame Obama now than did so last September (60%).
Implications
Although the Obama campaign would like to make this election less of a referendum on Obama's performance and more of a choice between two candidates, it is clear that any incumbent's stewardship of the economy is a key factor in his re-election chances. Americans continue to have more negative than positive views of the current economy and the direction in which it is headed, which generally does not bode well for Obama.
Still, 68% of Americans say former President Bush should be given a great deal or a moderate amount of blame for the nation's economic woes -- substantially more than say the same about Obama. This suggests that Obama's argument that he is on the right track and needs more time to turn the economy around could fall on receptive ears, particularly those of independents.
Survey Methods Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted June 7-10, 2012, with a random sample of 1,004 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points.
Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents by region. Landline telephone numbers are chosen at random among listed telephone numbers. Cell phone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.
Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted landline number). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2011 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.
In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

While he got us completely into Vietnam, LBJ is the greatest President in terms of civil and human rights.
I don't think it's Bush either (Nixon) but it's definitely not Johnsonn and to see a Black man say that is something else.

But, did he actually read it
He will and we won't see a response on this topic anymore. He might post something random but not on this topic.
PoliticFact ain't what it used to be but they nailed this one.
Drive by poster!
Well, Gerald probably had one of the most boring runs as president in modern history. At least President Bush had times of leadership his base can support *9-11*. Gerald had a very forgettable presidency.
Talking about who was a worst president is all subjective anyway. There's a lot of good things that happened in every administration.
I mean think about it, Thought could easily say that he thinks Reagan was the worst president. Even if he won in two landslides.
Hardly! He did serve the shortest time of any president and was the only president never voted in. Kind of like GW's first illegal term.
But his pardon of Tricky Dick was an all time low in American politics.
Reagan winning two elections doesn't mean he was a good President, just a good campaigner with weak opposition. He was in fact a really bad President that somehow didn't know his Administration was involved in a little mess called "Iran-Contra" and set this country on the wasteful, selfish path we've been on for over 30 yrs.
Still not worse than Nixon but right up there.
Hardly! He did serve the shortest time of any president and was the only president never voted in. Kind of like GW's first illegal term.
But his pardon of Tricky Dick was an all time low in American politics.
Setting the precedent that Presidents can get away with anything ultimately leading to George W Bush and Richard Cheney admitting to authorizing torture with no repercussions.
Indeed, clean up the mess Look at the precipitous descent — akin to falling-of-a-cliff — in U.S. manufacturing jobs, literally the first month Supreme Court appointed BuShit moved into the White House.
Now consider where the line in the chart would be if Obama had followed RMoney & the RepubliKlans plan to just let the auto industry go bankrupt???

Man y'all going in up in this thread
I met a lot of old school militant brothers who said Tricky Dick (Nixon) was a racist bastard, but they liked him because he kept the money in the streets.
You do know that Nixon launched the war on drugs don't you?
