The Worst President in History?
Rolling StoneOne of America's leading historians assesses George W. Bush George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace. Barring a cataclysmic event on the order of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, after which the public might rally around the White House once again, there seems to be little the administration can do to avoid being ranked on the lowest tier of U.S. presidents. And that may be the best-case scenario. Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.
..........
Calamitous presidents, faced with enormous difficulties -- Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Hoover and now Bush -- have divided the nation, governed erratically and left the nation worse off. In each case, different factors contributed to the failure: disastrous domestic policies, foreign-policy blunders and military setbacks, executive misconduct, crises of credibility and public trust. Bush, however, is one of the rarities in presidential history: He has not only stumbled badly in every one of these key areas, he has also displayed a weakness common among the greatest presidential failures -- an unswerving adherence to a simplistic ideology that abjures deviation from dogma as heresy, thus preventing any pragmatic adjustment to changing realities. Repeatedly, Bush has undone himself, a failing revealed in each major area of presidential performance.

this just shows how liberal biweekly music magazines are
it is actually good news for republicans
Rolling Stone actually is extremely left-wing when it opines on politics.
yet quite conservative when it comes to rock and/or roll. Go figure
Bush is not a good President. But worst ever? Hardly.
Carter, Ford, Nixon, Hoover, Harding, Wilson, Grant, A. Johnson, and Buchanan were worse. I rank Bush 34th.
History will make this determination.
Just as we're finding out what a sorry-assed excuse for a President FDR was, future generations will learn how GWB freed two nations (probably more by the time this is over) and, in doing so, stopped a cancerous ideology that threatened the security of the entire planet...all while fostering an economic recovery and weathering the most partisan hack job of any Commander in Chief in history.
I'm tellin' ya, he's Rushmore bound.
wishful think redux
I guess it all depends on the story-teller, doesn't it?
The US Embasssy just got blown up in Kabul, in "dubya liberated" Afghanistan.
The bogus Repug Iraq war is an unqualified disaster, outside of the WHIG and the generals sucking off Rummy for brownie/career points.
No country liberated, the Muslim radicals are more inflamed and supported than ever.
The Federal govt spent into historic debts by tax cuts for the rich + corps the interest which, never mind the capital, will cripple federal govt for decades.
"you're doing a heckuva job, shrubbie"
Who really cares what they think about anything?

he knows what hes talking about
So a liberal rag cuts down Bush...
What's ing new about this??
Okay, does anyone remember this Sean Wilentz? He's the Princeton historian who made his last national appearance in November 2000, when he organized something called the Emergency Committee of Concerned Citizens 2000, which spent more than $125,000 buying ads in the New York Times urging a "revote" in heavily Democratic Palm Beach County, Fla., in the hope of installing Al Gore in the White House.
As it turned out, several of the "signatories" of the ad said that they never saw the final text and that they disagreed with it. And of course, the "revote" idea was preposterous. No one, not even the Florida Supreme Court, considered it seriously.
So in the current issue of a prestigious academic journal, Wilentz, described by the journal as "one of America's leading historians," takes the measure of President Bush. According to the Drudge Report, Wilentz's article declares that "George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace." The journal's cover carries the blurb "The Worst President in History?" and has a caricature of the president sitting in a corner wearing a dunce cap.
Oh wait a second. Rolling Stone isn't exactly an academic journal, is it? Wilentz, however, is a historian, and he has strong ideas about historians weighing in on current politics, as he explains on Princeton's Web site:
Now, one might argue that speculation about where the Bush presidency "appears headed" isn't history writing at all, and thus it is a completely extracurricular activity that has no bearing on Wilentz's reputation as a historian. But the magazine is trading on that reputation to peddle his piece of partisan punditry.
One would think that professional pride would restrain Wilentz from participating in such an exercise. But perhaps the academy is so politicized these days that such foolishness will only end up enhancing his reputation among his colleagues.
I'm listening.......I'm listening. What did he say that was different from
all his other postings. Have I missed something.
Generals are not in charge. Civilians are dumbass. Go back and get a GED.
Just 'cause he's dumb as a rock doesn't mean he belongs on Rushmore.
Bush went to Yale Chalupa.
This is not the same thing as "Jail" with a spanish accent.

"went to Yale"
He wasn't a "merit" acceptee at Yale or Harvard, he was a legacy student (family history), aka "affirmative action"
Brahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!Whoooooooo!!!! Yeeeehhaaaawww!!
Of course he'll be at Rushmore. They need someone to run concession.
Worst ever? I have absolutely no- ing-idea.
Worst in my lifetime? No- ing doubt.
Liberated countries....youre such a jackass...how liberated are they going to be when America finally pulls out? It will be a Civil War the likes of which the world has never seen (new killing technologies for the heathens to wipe themselves from the world more efficiently).
Ever seen.
Blood. Body parts. Be-headings. Kidnappings. Total and utter genocide. Daily.
That is the future of Iraq and Afghanistan. You dont need to be a geo-sociologist to see that.
ing book it, man. Book it. Sounds reeeeeeeal liberated and awfully Democratic to me.
My God, when in our puny, insignificant lives will be FINALLY agree that EVERY leader of people SHALL BE scrutinized and questioned EVERY day of EVERY year for as long as they hold court?
This blind loyalty by neo-cons is ing scary. You are all so easily led and unabashed in your cult-like worship!
Dont you realize some of your stances and opinions and adamant defense of even the most obvious abuses of power, when viewed objectively, could be more likened to a cult than a political party?
But I am sure you dont care. Youre a drone. A ing spoke in a giant wheel. You belong. Youre accepted. You have other sheeple like yourself to espouse concurrence and approval. Youre content in the knowledge that your blind loyalty is what is asked and you shall give it without question.
Youre a danger. Democrat / Republican / Green Party or otherwise. The herd being led by a Sheppard.
You people make any free-thinking individual disgusted in humanity. No voice, no thought, just more rhetoric readily prepared by (gasp*) people like yourselves.
Im not one for conspiracies, but this is ridiculously coincidental. You make me ill with fear of November. More like you will come and reproduce to create even more sheep waiting for instruction from “what-the- -ever-party/church/ideology” seems to align most closely with your narrow view of the world where violence is an answer and questions are unpatriotic.
Im a pretty level-headed person (if I do say so myself). I want to wipe these ers off the face of the earth as much as anyone else.
But that DOES NOT mean I support Bush. Conversely, if someone doesn’t agree with me on the whole “extinction of the middle east”, I dont immediately start attacking them as liberals or Clinton-ites.
The two are NOT linked…in any way shape or form. Some people, unlike you neo-cons, take issues as they come, one at a time.
Amazing. Simply amazing. The worst part?
You may very well be setting in motion the demise of this country, the greatest country to ever exist, by refusing to question ALL those men in power.
Sheeple are beginning to outnumber Normals. I fear this, but I find great interest in the direction you sheeple choose for us. At least I will be around to see the demise and maybe even die defending my position.
I long for that day. The day when there is Us and there is Them. May the best man win.
