George W. Bush is a war criminal, a mass murderer and a barefaced liar. He can't be charged since he is still in power. "Diplomatic Immunity".  Because he lied, our troops died. Because of his arrogance and his favoritism between Shiites and Sunnis, a civil war occurred in Iraq and death among innocent people multiplied. So who is responsible for all this fiasco and death in Iraq? Bush and his Evil Team are responsible.

he's made choices people don't neccesarrily agree with.  He's passed laws and made moves and stuff that weren't in the best interests of American people.  Spending $400 billion on iraq, giving tax breaks to rich people, choking on pretzels, not acting fast in the wake of Katrina, just to name a few.  i really don't know how he won a second term.

I think I will remember him for being the head of the most inept, corrupt administration ever. His taking a budget surplus and making it the hugest deficit in history, and his tax cuts to the very rich while cutting programs for the poor. I will remember him for being the shame of America for starting a war for little or no reason. Every thing I will remember him for will be cast in a negative light.

Lee was the general. Davis was president when Lee joined up with the confeds.\n\nDouglas was a runaway slave. Not a president.\n\nClay died before the start of the war.\n\nDavis was it, then.

Assuming you are refering to conflicts that are universally referred to by Americans as wars, the answer is  7 1/2.\n\nWar against the Barbary Pirates - Thomas Jefferson*\nWar of 1812 - James Madison*\nMexican American War - James Polk\nWorld War I - Woodrow Wilson\nWorld War II - Franklin Roosevelt\nKorean War - Harry Truman\nVietnam - Lyndon Johnson\n\nThe 1/2 comes from Jefferson Davis the Presdient of the Confederate States during the Civil War who was a Democrat. Since the South triggered the war by firing on Ft. Sumnter it can be said that he was responsible for declaring war.\n\n*Jefferson and Madison were actually members of the Democratic Republican party but that party is generally regarding as the forerunner of the modern Democratic party.

History and time will tell.  It's too early to answer that question.  It's hard to point to one President who was the worst - there were many rather insignificant Presidents.  Ulysses Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and Cleveland all served during one of the most corrupt eras in U.S. history - I would probably start with one of these men.

If you ask Bush he will say "Because God wants me to be president."  If you ask me, I think people were afraid to change the guard because of the war.  Basically, the American public said: hey, you guys messed up with this war thing but why don't you try and finish it anyway.  I am still shocked.

He is guilty of mass murders.  He has lived the life of 10 rich men. He is an arrogant ass hole, he should be put down for the crimes against the Iraqi people.

U.S. Grant, what did you expect from a Civil War General/ US President who drank whiskey, smoked cigars (lots of them) and was a fearless horseman. He was a very colorful figure and almost of legendary status. He graduated from West Point, like Patton and other legendary war generals. Most of them having pretty much the same attitude. War is Hell...Fight the Battle, Win the War, get it over with and go home.

Demnark Vessey (free born black man) was the orcestrator of what would have been the largest slave revolt on the history of the US.  but someone told and he was excecuted along with many others\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part3/3p2976.html

He had to power to do it.  He just withdrew Federal Funds and vetoed the act renewing their charter.  After he was out of office the economy collapsed, and he escaped blame.\n\nHe was one of the most evil Presidents.  He also deported the Cherokees from their lands.  When the court ruled against him, he said "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!"

Kudo's for some good work, although I doubt that many liberals will buy into these facts.  I would like to take issue with one area of contention and that is the Viet Nam war.  It is true that JFK sent in advisors to contain the communists, but it was the old hawk Lydon Baines Johnson that escalated the war and sent in troops.  I believe that Viet Nam was Johnson's war.  After he lost the stomach to continue, when he had Charlie on his knees following the Tet offensive, the old fool announced that he was hanging up his spurs.  Johnson too, was a democrat and a shameless coward.  The loss of that war should  be credited solely to LBJ.

Actually,  I think you're totally right.  Have you noticed how stressed out the man has looked lately?  He has really aged over the past 2 or 3 years.  He is stuck in an unwinnable war, and he doesn't know how to get out of it.  Now that his party doesn't control congress, he can blame all his troubles on that.  He can ask congress for all kinds of wacky nutjob laws, and when they refuse to pass them, he can say, "Look, everything would be better if congress had passed the Give a Range Rover to Every Iraqi bill, but they rejected it, so you can't blame me!"

False!  He was not the first president of the United States.  There was someone else, although I'm not sure of his name.  The inaguration I beleive was either in Philadelphia or New York.

Many of the answers listed here are incorrect.  Jefferson was the ambassador to France at the time and was living in Paris.  It would have been interesting to see how the constitution would have come out if he had been involved.  \n\nHe was very influencial at the time.  If it had been publicly known that they were going to completely redesign the government he might have been involved.  At the time it was expected that they would just "fix" the articles of confederation.\n\nJefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence, and important document but not one with any actual legal weight.\n\nHope this helps.

I must have missed the war vote on my ballot. People voted for change because they were not very happy with Mr. Bush's and his congress's policies. The war was the main policy people were voting against, there were many others. His spending for one. Corruption was another, four republican congressmen resigned in less than a year. The shadow of Jack Abramoff was everywhere. Gasoline hitting three bucks. Illegal immigration into our country. His dismissal of the constitution. Torture, and on and on. There were many reasons, the war was the big one.
