Bush and obama will go down in as the two worst presidents in American history, unless the obama spin machine starts working at rewriting history to reflect more favorable towards the bamster.I'm not sure who is considered such as of now, Ronnie (laughably), FDR maybe? Washington? Lincoln?
I think their long term fate in history will be very closely tied together. Obama ended up doubling down on a lot of Bush's policies, and has been very slow about reversing other Bush policies. In some ways Obama has become the caretaker of the Bush legacy.
That said, I suspect neither will go down as the worst in history. There have been far worse failures in US history. They won't even be in the bottorm 5. I suspect with some distance they'll fit squarely in the mid range to lower mid range in the rankings.
