Historians Rank George W. Bush Among Worst Presidents

Lincoln and Washington were rated as the best

By KENNETH T. WALSH



President George W. Bush is near the bottom of the heap in the latest survey of historians on presidential leadership.

Bush received an overall ranking of 36 out of 42 former presidents—in the bottom 10.

NONE of you that have answered though have refuted these fundamental EVENTS happened!!

AND NONE of those historians have ALSO acknowledged these Fundamental events occurred evidently!!!

A) Didn't the marvelous dot.com ( that Clinton phony surplus bubble)* bust occur? YES! What did it cost?

1) $5 trillion in market losses which meant the taxpayers who had tax liabilities of $166 billion from 2002 and beyond GONE!
2) 300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts....billions in payroll taxes!!!

B) Did 9/11 happen??? YES what did that cost?
1) $2 trillion in losses meant $66 billion a year in reduced TAX payments from 2003 and beyond GONE!
2 145,00 jobs lost in NYC alone due to 9/11... what did that cost? Billions in payroll taxes!

C) DID the worst hurricane SEASONS not hurricanes SEASONS occur? YES what did that cost?
1) $1 trillion in losses meaning $33 billion a year in reduced tax revenues!
2) 400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita

NO president IN HISTORY has every had such monumental shocks to the economy, the mental psyche of the nation AND after 2004 the MSM so vehemently biased in news reporting that historians WILL mark that period as the demise of the MSM as a profession that provided objective reporting!

As we get further from the years of the Bush admin, I am sure that the documents revealed will drop Bush even further down the scale. A mismanaged war in Afghanistan, an unneccessary war in Iraq, and a recession that was a hair from becoming the Second Great Republican Depression. Bush's mismanagement of the results of the natural disasters contributes to the already horrid record he was establishing as a President.

and if Obama grabs another 4 years and things just get worse he and Bush may be fighting for one of those bottom rungs....Obama should not even be considered in these rankings UNTIL he is done being President.....

FDR had it much worse and he used it as an opportunity to excel. Bush used the opportunity to FAIL

That is why FDR is considered our greatest modern president and Bush is considered the worst

thats all a matter of opinion RW.....they could have 10 of these President polls and have ten different results....

It is the opinion of an overwhelming number of historians. They have had more than 10 Presidential ranking polls and FDR consistently ranks in the top 4. No credible poll has ranked any modern president above FDR
Bush has consistently ranked in the bottom 5. There is little reason to rank him higher

I think the fact that Bush compromised American ideals to openly embrace torture will also ensure his poor presidential ratings

its still all opinions....and yes Bush should be at the bottom.....he sucked.....but Obama should not be included until he is done.....if they took a poll a few weeks after 9/11 Bush may have been top 10 for all we know....

 

[amrchaos]

Ummmmm, Mexico?

Really?

Actually, the list of nations that did not support the war is more telling than the list of nations that did support the war.


The only gravitas I see to that list is that the U.K and Australia sending a couple of thousand. Even the request of troops from Japan and SK seems a bit like a desperate bid for support.

Even so, we are off main op. Boooooosh did have the highest approval rating in US history. Even more so than FDR during WWII!

So what--I thought conservatives were tired of hearing "Boooosh this" and "Boooooosh that"?

I think that after 9-11 there was an opportunity for Bush to be an all time great President.....he blew it

 

[Unkotare]

FDR had it much worse and he used it as an opportunity to excel.

No, he used it as an opportunity to gather power to himself and threaten our very Republic.

 

[Warrior102]

When President Romney is elected, it will be Bush's fault, right Libberhoids?

Our Republic emerged stronger than it was before FDR was elected

AGAIN...
FDR NEVER had an attack on the nation until several years into his administration.
The major depth of Depression was almost over by the time he took office in 1932.
What weather issues did FDR have?

BUT again... you all have NOT recognized AT ALL

1) the supposed dot.com bubble that created Clinton surplus..POOF!!! gone in $5 trillion losses and 300,000 jobs POOF! NONE of you seem to "remember that"!!!
2) Then 9/11 and anthrax attacks all costing $2 trillion, 145,000 jobs in NYC alone! and NO one seems to think that had ANY affect??
3) From 2003 to 2008 WORST HURRICANE SEASONS in history with 7 of the worst 10 hurricanes rom 2004 through 2008 $1 trillion and 400,000 jobs..

WHY are YOU Bush haters who claim he was such a BAD President NOT taking those factors in consideration?
Especially when from 2008 Bush had 5 million more people working then Clinton in 2000!
Especially when GDP grew in the last 50 years under Bush holds record for Greatest dollar increase in a year

Year of increase Amount RANK
2005 $769 billion 1 (largest growth in 50 years)
2006 759 2
2004 711 3
2007 651 4
2003 499 8
2002 356 16
2008 340 18
2001 334 20 Remember 9/11 occurred???

Clinton???
Best year was 1999 $560 billion growth in GDP 7th best!

What? You can't be that ignorant of our own history

1. Pearl Harbor was a major attack that led our country to war. He was attacked by a major military power with a Navy...not some ragtag terrorists with boxcutters
2. The Depression was no where near being over when FDR took office in 1933
3. Major weather issues? You never heard of the Dust Bowl? It was an ecologic disaster larger than anything this nation has faced before or after
