75% think, that George W. Bush wasn't a good president, I can't understand this.
I do not understand this bad result. I think another President were not better in that situation.
Another president without daddy issues would never have pushed so hard to start Gulf War II.
George W. Bush did not push hard.

In short, no other president’s faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large.”
“With his unprovoked and disastrous war of aggression in Iraq and his monstrous deficits, Bush has set this country on a course that will take decades to correct,” said another historian. “When future historians look back to identify the moment at which the United States began to lose its position of world leadership, they will point—rightly—to the Bush presidency. Thanks to his policies, it is now easy to see America losing out to its competitors in any number of area: China is rapidly becoming the manufacturing powerhouse of the next century, India the high tech and services leader, and Europe the region with the best quality of life.”

I can't fathom how this is even up for debate or how the poll got so many "Yes" votes. He wantonly sacrificed human lives in pursuit of his own goals, LIED about WMDs, had the IQ of a turnip, collapsed the economy, and all with a smile on his stupid cowboy face. He's the worst president I can think of. In regard to recent generations, Nixon comes damned close.
Clearly you have no grasp of US history.
What did I say that was wrong? Nothing.
If he is the worst US President you can think of then that says a lot about your ignorance of US history.
LOL drama much? Bush will be rated higher than Obama and Carter for sure. I know that really upsets people like you. But tell me-what causes so severe a case of BDS?
LOL...you have to be kidding. History often judges people higher than they deserve, however, GWB has waaaaay too much baggage. A failed war, a failed economy, torture...etc. He will forever be known as the Herbert Hoover of the 21st century. Sorry to burst your bubble.
73.02 percent of those who voted said no.
G.W. Bush may not be the worst president ever but he's mighty close to the bottom.
Given your posts demonstrate that you are one of the Democrat Party's biggest fan boys and one of Hillary's biggest supporters, I really don't find your perspective to have any objectivity or merit.
You haven't followed me well then. I am hardly Hillary's biggest supporter. She is actually much to moderate/centrist and too much of a warhawk for my tastes. That being said, I would take her primarily because she's about the best that I can realistically hope to get elected. I also think that the vast majority of the Democrats are spineless and so afraid of their own shadow that they are pretty worthless. I support the platform of the Democratic party however.
But back on subject. The record of GWB is horrendous. There are people who hope against hope that somehow his record will be vindicated. First of all, there is no vindicating his economic record. He drove this country to the brink of bankruptcy. The numbers speak for themselves. As for the rest of his Presidency, I can't imagine how history is ever going to judge the Iraq war as anything other than a major blunder. The bottom line is that GWB was in over his head. He probably isn't a evil man, but surrounding himself with people that ran his Presidency that he will be blamed with in the annuls of history.
