He is the Worse president ever~! \nHere is 25 reasons for ya. \n\n25 REASONS TO FEEL BAD ABOUT BUSH\n\nEconomic Indicators\n\n1. The unemployment rate averaged 4.1 percent in 2000 and reached a 30 year low of 3.9 percent in October 2000. Today, the unemployment rate has increased to 5.7 percent. There are presently 8.1 million unemployed Americans, an increase of 2.5 million compared to 2000\n\n2. The number of Americans experiencing long-term unemployment-over 27 weeks-has almost doubled in the last year.\n\n3. Job creation has reversed. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the economy created 1.7 million new jobs. This trend has been reversed, and the economy has lost almost 1.5 million jobs since President Bush took office in January 2001.\n\n4. Poverty is increasing. After decreasing for eight straight years and reaching its lowest level in 25 years, the poverty rate increased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 11.7 percent in 2001. In the first year of the Bush administration, 1.3 million Americans slipped back into poverty, with a total of 32.9 million Americans living in poverty in 2001.\n\n5. Incomes are falling. After increasing every year since 1991, and reaching an all time high in 2000, median household income in the United States fell 2.2 percent in 2001. Median incomes fell for households in every income group in the country except for those earning over $150,000.\n\n6. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are filing for bankruptcy. Almost 800,000 Americans filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2002. In the second quarter of 2002, over 400,000 bankruptcies were filed in the United States, an all-time record.\n\n7. Mortgage foreclosures are at record highs. In the second quarter of 2002, 1.23 percent of home loans were in the foreclosure process, a record level. Over this same time period, almost 5 percent of mortgage loans were delinquent, up almost 20 percent from the average delinquency rate in 2000.\n\n8. The federal budget deficit is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, showed a surplus of $86.6 billion. The most recent figures from the Congressional Budget Office indicate that for FY 2002, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, will show a deficit of $314 billion.\n\n9. This represents the largest budget decline in U.S. history, and it is the third-largest on-budget deficit in history, exceeded in size only by the deficits of 1991 and 1992 under the first President Bush. Health Care Indicators\n\n10.The number of Americans without health insurance is increasing. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of uninsured Americans fell by 600,000.\n\n11. But this trend has reversed itself and in 2001 the number of uninsured Americans increased by 1.4 million.\n\n12. Over 41 million Americans — 14.6 percent of the population — had no health insurance coverage in 2001.\n\n13. The percentage of small businesses offering insurance to their employees fell by 10 percent between 2000 and 2002.\n\n14. Insurance costs increased by 12.7 percent in 2002, the second consecutive year of double-digit increases and the largest annual increase in costs since 1990.\n\n15. Prescription drug prices increased by almost twice the rate of inflation in 2001.\n\n16. For seniors, who use the most prescription drugs, cost increases were even higher. The cost of the 50 most popular drugs for seniors increased by 7.8 percent in 2001, over three times the rate of inflation. The price of Prilosec, the most popular drug for seniors, increased at over four times the rate of inflation.\n\nCrime and Drug Use Indicators\n\n17.The crime rate is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the crime rate reached its lowest level since 1972. This represented the culmination of a 22 percent decrease in crime during the 1990s.\n\n18. But in 2001, the crime rate increased by 2.2 percent. The murder rate increased by 3.1 percent, the robbery rat

Yes he is the worst. And we have had some bad ones

You are mistaken on every level.  Bush is 'being debated as the worst president"?  By whom?  Some typical crybaby liberals with no answers except, "Bush is bad".\n\nYour liberal hero's also said their were WMD, we found the ones that wern't moved to syria.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Saddam was playing musical weapons with the inspectors.  Are you that naive?\n\nI don't particularly listen to Rush, but when I do, he has documented every statement he has ever made.  Much like Sean Hanity.  Tell me specifically what they said that was incorrect.  I doubt you can do it.\n\nYou want to talk about the foundation of this country?  Do you think it was founded on socialism?  It was not, so why do you vote democrat?  They are the new socialist party.  Everything they stand for is a socialist program.  Name one thing that is not. \n\nThe grandkids money statement makes no sense.  Your answer is obviously tax high, and give to people who don't work?  Please elaborate what you mean.\n\nYour a typical liberal spewing the nonsense of the likes of michael moore and bill mahar.  You have nothing to say but baseless namecalling.  I have yet to see a liberal who can back up his b.s. with facts.  \n\nSimply put, we are not a socialist country.  We will not allow you liberal democrats a chance to change that fact.  Get off your lazy liberal butt, and go to work.  If you work hard, you will be rewarded.  If you do not, work hard, then I guess you can go protest along with all the other lazy liberal scum.\n------------------\n\nBen, stop your crying.  The election was won by BUSH AGAIN.\n\nThe electorial college is how we vote in this country, and there is a reason for it.  We can not have a small area that is heavily populated make rules that hurt the rest of the nation.  It's how things are done.  Stop crying about the lost election.  Better yet, slap yourself in the face and say to yourself, "I don't want to be a socialist".

i used to think reagan was the worst president ever. before bush.\n\nhmm. what was so bad about reagan? overthrowing democractically elected governments in south & central america because they were too liberal for his buddies' tastes and doing so via illegal wars financed through the secret, illegal selling of weapons to their (U.S.'s)  enemies. (namely Iran. btw, saddam hussein was the U.S.'s good buddy at this time, they were also selling him weapons, and he was at war with who? that's right IRAN.) another way they financed those wars was that the cia imported cocaine and dumped it in black ghettoes, which lends a whole new meaning to reagan's ' war on drugs.' that's for starters.\n\nand believe it or not, bush's gang  is worse.\n\noh  yeah. aroooooooooooooooooooooooo

George Bush is not right for America, never has been, never will be. He is the worst President we've ever had, bar none.  He should have been impeached long ago for lying to the American People about Iraq. The blood of every dead soldier is on his hands.

There's no question about that. Some political historians are already calling Bush THE worst President in U.S. history.Since his Presidency began,the standing of the U.S. has fallen to an all-time low. Other world leaders don't\nrespect him and he's done nothing but antagonize them.\nEven Tony Blair steers clear of him now,since not even he has enough influence with his "ally" to have him re-consider idiotic environmental non-policies.

George W. Bush.   He's worse than a roach and Kerry.

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.
