I voted for Dubya in 2000 and 2004. Not because he was an awesome candidate, but because he was the lesser of two great evils. We keep choosing between lesser evils and that just gets us more and more evil choices, see.
I mean, just when you thought we could not possibly do worse than Bush, along comes Obama!
By 2006 I had decided the GOP was so far around the bend that I was just going to quit voting until the party got its shit back together.
I'm still waiting. In fact, the GOP has accomplished the fantastic feat of doubling down on its insanity since 2006.
Now...to be honest, at first I thought Bush's big rube act was just that, an act. But as time went by, I was finally shaken from my delusion and as much as it pained me, I had to admit to myself he really was that stupid. While I did not disagree with him over the need to invade Iraq, I had serious problems (and still have) with his prosecution of that war. And then his idiotic idea to privatize Social Security really knocked me back. Can you imagine the losses Social Security would have suffered in 2007-2009?
Quite possibly the dumbest President who ever lived. I cannot say that definitively because I have only studied most of the Presidents, not all of them. But he's got a good chance of taking the big prize.
I say dumbest, not the worst, though he is certainly in the top five of the worst.
I can only WISH he was a figment of our collective imaginations. Unfortunately, the reality of his fuckups is staring us in the face every day. The economic crash and the election of Obama would not have been possible were it not for the existence of President George Bush, Junior.
