Bush is the worst president ever

[Shafted69]

fact!

[Deuce]

Give me proof. I want hard facts. Not liberal media gossip. Cold hard facts you nit wit.

[JRS21386]

What a great post.. No commentary or facts at all, just a blind statement

[Kaiser Jacob]

I deep respect for George W Bush, I have a picture of him in my office. I still wish he was president, things were a lot better for me under his administration. He never attacked me for making too much money, or belittled me for what I did for a living. God bless the day he took the oval office.

[j0hnnyv]

is this a political forum now??

[Shafted69]

the most important reason he's worst ever was the internet gambling bill he signed into law as president.

it took a whole year to get my money out of sportsbook.com after Neteller & ACH withdrawls were gone.

[PAPSMEAR]

he was an absolute world wide joke that made the US look real bad...what a goose...one thing though those Bushisms on youtube make for good viewing

People can say whatever that want, but I think to truly be able to judge a President you need to wait 20 years. Truman was unpopular when he was in office, and immediately after he left, but now people view him in much different and better light. I think in 20 years peoples opinion of Bush and what he did while in office will much more positive.

it's a bit like having cock rot and looking back 20 years on and thinking that wasn't that bad

[Fischnasty]

fact!

[Shafted69]

but his SON was the best president we've ever had

his "let them eat cake" dad was 10 times better but still bottom of the barrel scum turds they are.

W Bush is a douche bags.

[yisman]

Shafted69 is a complete moron.

1)We've had a number of these kinds of threads posted by trolls like ryanxl in the past. Only an attention-seeking whore would create another one which contributed exactly nothing.

2)He doesn't know what a "fact" is. Considering most of us learn that in elementary school, I can only conclude that Shafted69 is mentally handicapped.

My Top 10 Reasons Why GW Bush Is The Worst Ever

1. The worst recession since the 1930s. The current recession will be the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. And unlike other recessions, this one was directly caused by conservative anti-regulatory policy. In fact, recent evaluations show that Bush policies never created any real growth -- the ephemeral financial upswings of the past eight years were based on market bubbles and economic Band-Aids.


2. The worst financial crisis since the 1930s. The Bush administration, flacking an "ownership society," helped manufacture the housing bubble. When it burst, Americans lost $6 trillion in housing wealth (so far), fueling a market crash that has cost Americans $8 trillion of stock wealth, according to economist Dean Baker. On a grand scale, we've been mugged.


3. The worst foreign policy mistake in the history of this country. That's what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., correctly called the Iraq war. This pre-emptive war -- based on phony pretenses -- is now the second longest in our nation's history (after Vietnam). Some 35,000 Americans are dead or wounded, as well as an enormous number of innocent Iraqis. And even today, more than five years later, can anyone explain why Bush marched us into this quagmire?


4. Unprecedented rejection of human rights. Recently, a Bush administration official finally admitted that the U.S. government engaged in torture at Guantanamo Bay detention center. Bush admitted that he personally authorized waterboarding. While these clear violations of the Geneva Conventions would have been unthinkable a few years ago, today we're not surprised. From Abu Ghraib and extraordinary rendition, to years-long detention of innocents and the unrestrained killing of civilians by U.S.-paid mercenaries, this administration has systematically squandered our nation's moral standing in the world, making us less able to protect Americans and American interests worldwide.


5. Watergate-style abuses of power. As the House Judiciary Committee staff has documented, Bush used the politics of fear and division to justify warrantless wiretapping of innocent Americans (including U.S. soldiers fighting overseas), spying on peaceful domestic groups and the use of national security letters to pry into the private records of millions of Americans. He also presided over illegal politicization of the Justice Department and retribution against critics. In fact, Bush claimed the authority to disobey hundreds of laws -- as if Richard Nixon were right when he famously said: "When the president does it, that means it's not illegal."


6. Unprecedented increases in inequality. The Economic Policy Institute reports, "For the first time since the Census Bureau began tracking such data back in the mid-1940s, the real incomes of middle-class families are lower at the end of this business cycle than they were when it started." That's because Bush policy was designed to increase economic inequality. The richest 1 percent of the population received 36 percent of the Bush tax cuts; the least-affluent 40 percent received only 9 percent. While the rich got exponentially richer, the poverty rate and the percentage of uninsured dramatically increased.


7. A culture of sleaze. This was an administration without shame. Kicked off by Vice President Dick Cheney's secret energy task force, the administration fostered a "greed is good" culture. The subsequent conservative money scandals (Jack Abramoff; White House officials J. Steven Griles and David Safavian; Republicans Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas, Rep. Duke Cunningham of California and Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska) and other lawlessness (Cheney's Chief of Staff O. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho) have toppled the conservative "moral values" façade into the gutter, where it belongs.


8. Blind rejection of science. The Bush administration thumbed its nose at scientific evidence that contradicted conservative political goals. The resulting lies about global warming, endangered species, toxic chemicals and consumer products threaten the health and safety of every American. And the virtual outlawing of stem cell research has delayed important medical advances by years, causing immeasurable suffering and loss of life.


9. Utter refusal to protect the health, safety and legal rights of Americans. Following the conservative business-is-always-right philosophy, Bush dismantled the agencies and rules designed to protect consumers from unscrupulous businesses, workers from reckless employers and small companies from anti-competitive large companies. If conservatives didn't like a federal law, they blocked, hindered or defunded agency enforcement.


10. Presiding over our nation's worst natural disaster, and not caring. Hurricane Katrina was transformed from a calamity into a national disgrace by the sheer incompetence and indifference of the Bush administration. Before the hurricane struck, Bush had downsized the Federal Emergency Management Agency and placed in charge a political crony with no relevant experience. When Katrina ripped through Mississippi and Louisiana and inflicted nearly $100 billion in damages in New Orleans to become the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, FEMA was unprepared to help, and thousands of Americans suffered the consequences. More than three years later, New Orleans still has not recovered.


So, congratulations for being the worst president in World History.

I'm a registered Democrat.

You, on the other hand, are a witless spammer.

[Shafted69]

I'm a registered republican and you are a witness to best president that ever lived.

Just like the Orlando Magic were witnesses to the 2nd best player to ever play the game of basketball in the FINALS.

[yisman]

You also happen to be a liar and a fool. Just adding to the list for you.

[andywend]

Liberal FOOLS like Shafted69 and Frostno will continue to bash Bush in a PATHETIC attempt to shift attention away from the TERRIBLE JOB that Barack Obama is doing for our country.

Barack Obama and this democratic congress have already given away TRILLIONS of dollars from the taxpayers to the banks. If Bush and a republican congress did something like this, the above 2 jokers would be going beserk. However, since its their Curious George Obama calling the shots they have no problem with it.

The democrats are far more responsible for this financial meltdown and recession than the republicans as they have been pushing banks to make more loans to lower income/minorities since the Carter administration. To make matters worse, many prominent republicans warned of this financial meltdown and democrats like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd wouldn't hear of it.

"The most important reason he's worst ever was the internet gambling bill he signed into law as president. It took a whole year to get my money out of sportsbook.com after Neteller & ACH withdrawls were gone."

Its hard to disagree about this. The republicans lost my support after they pulled this bullshit and I was glad they lost control of congress in 2006. They certainly deserved it.

However, Bill Frist and the republican congress attached the UIGEA to the back of a Port Security Bill on the final night before a congressional break giving Bush no choice but to sign the bill.

"W Bush is a douche bags."
Frostno, are any of you literate?

You're being attacked for making too much money?

Shafted, that's a pretty good list. Not sure if it makes him the worst pres ever, just one of the guys.

Regarding #3. Aggression is a war crime, not a mistake. Not an overzealous urge to do good. What W and friends did was commit the #1 war crime.

american leaders are all useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a better word is tools

[topcat]

bush,cheaney,and rumsfield should all be tried for war crimes.if rumsfiels goes to germany he will be arested on site.when bush was at that big tie dinner with all the big wigs there he was making a joke that the weapons of mass destruction were under the podium.we had thousands of soilders,and inocent iraqi people die.there blood are on there hands.george,and laura were asked about how they felt about the war,and laura said war was ugly,and they cried as much,or more than the soilders realatives.nobody can feel the pain these familys have gone through.me and my sister uset to say we hated people when we were mad at somebody.our grandmother would always say that hate was a strong word,and to not hate the person just hate their ways. i can honestly say i hate bush,and his crew.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I will say this much, at least Obama has the American public focused on domestic issues again rather than foreign affairs disasters. If I had to hear the words 9/11 uttered out of another bumbling fools mouth every day for the next four years, I'd fukkin go insane. For some reason, the Republicans fail to realize that Bush was the one who started lending money to the banks. I'm not sure why. Selective memory, perhaps. He was also working with the automakers before his departure. Obama is simply attempting to resolve those issues. This is a horrible time to be raising taxes, but had Obama not been left with record deficit, perhaps we could find other means to pay for the many disasters he's inherited.

ive got a good phrase for you,its better to fight them over there than over here.bush spent more money than any president before him combined.where were all the conservatives then when bush was spending.i was watchong the 700 club,and pat robertson said the usa couldnt afford the 36 million uninsured people.i would love to ask him what would jesus do?I know it might sound stupid but why not legalize gambling[to me its no different than the stock market] stop with the war in iraq,and legalize weed.i know that sounds weird coming from a christian but this economy is becoming like the great depression.

[MonkeyF0cker]

The only reason the Republican Party gets the Christian vote is based on one issue that they'll never change: Abortion. Without it, they don't stand a chance. How much more hypocritical can you be to consider yourself Christian yet mock liberals and their "bleeding heart" policies of helping the poor get food, clothing, and shelter, trying to solve issues diplomatically rather than militarily, stifling greed, opposing capital punishment, etc. It's honestly baffling.

[Mudcat]

I can't claim to have studied every single US president but Dubya is the worst one I know of by a pretty good margin.

[andywend]

Topcat, since you spell worse than my 7 year old son, its hard to put any stock in your twisted political beliefs.

MonkeyFocker, I agree Obama was left with a record deficit. However, surpluses and deficits are caused by CONGRESS NOT THE PRESIDENT. Which party had full control of congress when Obama was sworn in as president?

While this insane TARP program was started right at the end of the Bush administration, it was the republicans who rejected it the first time while reluctantly voting for it the 2nd time around when they forced the democrats to remove all the pork that was added to it. The democrats supported this transfer of wealth from the taxpayers to the banks from DAY 1.

It sounds like you were quite critical of Bush for increasing the deficit and rightfully so. Why are you now giving Obama praise for increasing the deficit at a rate that puts Bush to shame?

Its especially perplexing considering that Obama is bankrupting our nation to benefit rich fat-cat bankers who were responsible for the "many disasters that Obama inherited". If Obama had an (R) after his name and was transferring TRILLIONS from the taxpayers to the bankers, would you still feel "he is simply attempting to resolve those issues"?

"bush spent more money than any president before him combined.where were all the conservatives then when bush was spending" (more great spelling by Topcat)

Obama has spent more money in his first 5 months than Bush did in his entire 8 years.

Where were all the conservatives when Bush was spending? They were abandoning the republican party in droves (myself included) which is why the democrats took over congress in 2006 and why Obama won the White House in 2008.

You're not foolish enough to believe that people voted for the democrats because they believe in the party's platform? I guess you did.

Perhaps you need to stop smoking so much weed.
