CDZ Who Is Better: Bush or Obama?

The posts here indicate a strong partisan and biased attitude on the part of most posters.

According to this, they, Bush & Obama, come out about even.

Measuring Obama against the great presidents Brookings Institution

But, an important point made in the article is that Bush has risen in respect to a survey like this during his post-presidential years. He was much lower at the end of his tenure as president and right after his tenure as president. That would probably happen to Obama's ratings too, which indicates that a few years after he has left office, he will be more appreciated than he is now.

This kind of survey is, IMO, far more reliable as an understanding of either president because the people participating in the survey are "several hundred members of the American Political Science Association," experts in this area.

Basically it's a waste of time comparing failed administrations especially at the level they failed the American people.

And while we're at it we might as well add Clinton to the mix because his deeply flawed foreign policy lead directly to the troubles that tripped up the next two administrations so badly.

So in the end, based on failed foreign policy, we've had three failed administrations in a row.

Hopefully we'll get a winner on the next go round
