What makes George W. Bush the worst President in US history?
965457
Nothing.  We won't see until years later how good he was.  Abraham Lincoln was considered a bad president doing his time.  Now we love him.  The fact that people don't like him is they listen to the liberal news and the walk around repeating what the news told them, so they think they sound smart.  If these people were to research a little on their own, they would see what the President is doing is good.  Just take a look at this post, how many say bad things about the president.  Some don't even give reasons, the just use lame excuses and say bad things about the President of the United States.

President Bush is guilty of many things and will be remembered as the worst President in the History of the United States. Bush is guilty of.....\n\nSeizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of tens of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.\n\n2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.\n\n3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable. \n\n4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.\n\n5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.\n\n6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.\n\n7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.\n\n8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.\n\n9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."\n\n10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.\n\n11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.\n\n12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of app

I feel he is by far the worst president in the history of our country. He demonstrates absolutely no understanding of statesmanship, competence, and the ability to govern by compromise. \n  Our government has three branches of government. It is obvious that disagreements on policy and its execution will occur. Bush is blind to anything that differs with his own policy and pushes forward an agenda that ignores all suggestion of other views.\n  His entire presidency is a failed attempt at prosecuting a war which has cost the lives of 2000+ Americans and over 30,000 Iraqis in the name of \nDemocracy. That price is not worth the cost in lives and money. That war has been singularly the most flawed effort in our history.\n  His economic policies are based on cruelty and fantasy. The rich Americans are profitting from every single proposal, while the poor are suffering. \n  His reaction to  Katrina demonstrates that we are unready for an attack on our country by terrorists even after the September 11 attack which should have woke us up. His appointment of cronies to sensitive offices that require \ncompetence demonstrate his own lack of perception of excellence. \n   To answer those who say he is maligned, send your children to fight the war in Iraq and if they come back in  a body bag see if you say the same thing!!!!! Bush and his friends have not sent one of their own.\n   Finally, anyone with his resume would have been turned down for both the job of Texas governor and President of the United States if his last name weren't Bush. If his name were Smith he would have been laughed off the American  political stage and sent back to drink his way to oblivion.

Yeah his approval rating really says a lot doesn't it?  Bush is going to go down as the WORST president in history.  He's an idiot, a liar, a cheater (election 2000,2004), and a rich little brat.  Without his daddy's help he wouldn't have gotten anywhere in life.  \n\nTake a look at Rolling Stone's cover!

He goes down as the worst President in my book. I hope history views him as I do: War Mongoring profiteer, Right Wing Biggot, Murderer, Environmental Menace.

Bush is bad that's why. He is responsible for Hurricane Katrina, Global Warming, Tornado's, wild fires, GM and Ford cutbacks, Oil being so expensive, He is responsible for terrorism, if something is wrong we can always blame Bush.

Worst Democratic president was Franklin Roosevelt. His policies will lead to the ultimate end of the United states. He created the 'Entitlment mentality' that is prevalent today. This will bankrupt us all eventually and continue to foster corruption in government. \nThe worst Republican president was Herbert Hoover. Hoover instituted massive trade Tarrifs that excascerbated the oncoming Depression and was completely inept at influencing economic policy. This worldwide Depression led to the environment in the 30's where people voted for Roosevelt who ruined America! Also, the Depression created the environment of instability that led to the rise of the Axis Powers prior to WWII.

Ever is a big word.  Hayes was known as a bad president.  Garfield, too, I think.  My mother recalls Hoover with venom.  Nixon was tried for impeachment and branded a crook, but he had a few triumphs that washed him in the history books.  I cannot say Bush is the worst president ever, but I will say he is absolutely, the worst to surface in my 42 years of life.

watergate/bushgate    President Bush is the Worse ever to be in charge With the help of his brother, the governor of Florida, and his father's appointments to the Supreme Court, he became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.    that go's to show you that Lying Comes Naturally to Republicans\nWhenever Republican politicians find themselves in trouble, their automatic knee-jerk reaction is to blame Democrats. If there is nothing to blame Democrats for, they merely make something up - they lie. This is exactly what the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, following the lead of his boss George W. Bush, has done and is doing. He is placing the blame of the mean and punitive House immigration bill on the Democrats, when he knows that it is an outrageous lie.\n"To be anti- George Bush is to be pro-American," \n\n"I don't think George Bush is stupid. I think he's dangerous, and he has to be stopped." \n\nU.S. Troops Killed in Iraq Tops 2,400 <words/latestnews/index.php?id=6682>

It's way too early to judge George W Bush but historically speaking  most rate U.S. Grant as the worst president.. Not so much because of Grant himself but because he  brought in friends and family into the executive most of which turned out to be of low character. The Grant admistration was wrackme by corruption , payoffs and scandal.\nso there YOu have it US GRANT

"Hate" is such a despicable word. However, one  look at the Bush track record, and it's easy to see why George W. Bush was recently voted the "least admirable" man in America!\n\nIn collusion with his brother Jeb, Bush stole the first election, then did it again in the second election. He dumped America into an illegal, unconstitutional war for two reasons: to 'get even' with Saddam Hussein for humiliating George H.W. Bush during Desert Storm in the early 1990's - and to get all or Iraq's oil (actually, that's on Big Dick Cheney's wish list so he can make all his oil-drenched buddies even more obscenely wealthy than they already are). \nBush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction. He showed no remorse for all the thousands of Iraq people he's killed, nor has he shown any remorse for the 2,500 U.S. soldiers that his dirty little war has killed. Bush is a spoiled rich kid whose daddy got him out of harm's way while making it appear that he was serving time in a military unit. Macho man that he is, he was still allowed to fly fighter jets because he thought that would be 'cool'. \nHe's snuggled up to big business, special interest groups, the wealthiest individuals in this country, and lobbyists, all of whom can pour millions of dollars into the Republican party. But he's totally neglected the environment; the state of our fragile ecology; the poor, disabled, sick, hungry, and underprivileged in this country; and he's pretty much sold the middle class down the tubes. Because of his reckless policies, the next generation of Americans will live in a two-class society, just like they do in Haiti and the Dominican Republic: the very, very rich and the rest of us, the very, very poor. Americans are now trillions of dollars in debt, which will take generations to pay off. Bush has allowed credit card companies and pharmaceutical companies to cheat people with usurious interest rates and service charges and drugs that might actually shorten their lives!\nBush is a cowboy capitalist who should be impeached...or at least tried for high treason, and - if convicted - he should stand before a firing squad. He has turned America into an "evil empire" that mistrusts its own citizenry, lies to protect its own greedy interests, and spies on anyone that's not liked.\nIt's hard NOT to hate an impotent, stupid, selfish man like Bush.\n\nWatch www.blogger.com for a new 'blog' called BUSHWACKER!\n\nDick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld are just as evil (if you could life their scalps, you'd find "666" underneath their receding hairlines). Surely there's a special oil-saturated corner of Hell reserved for these three demons, where they can spend their eternal damnation.
