I’m pretty disgusted with President Bush’s performance in his second term, and its on a wide range of issues.

But sorry, Carter was the worst President in my lifetime, by miles and miles and miles.

21% inflation. 11% unemployment. Gas lines. Boycotting the Olympics.

Leaving our people twist in a jihadist wind for 444 days.

Constantly undermining administrations from both parties.

Yep, I’m pretty disgusted by the President’s performance.

But that disgust doesn’t cause me to lose all touch with reality, or historical record.

While I agree Bush's record on the illegal thing has been absolutely atrocious, he is no where NEAR as bad as Carter was.

You're way off on this one. Way off.

I agree with you on on the 4 additional areas but don’t throw the baby away with the bath water. If that is the best you can do Bush will be considered a great President.

I always thought Carter got a bad rap in regards to the economy. It was bad throughout the 1970s from late in Nixon’s term through Ford and Carter. He's at fault for not doing something about it I guess. Reagan was the one who finally set it right by taking out all those economic ‘controls’ that has been put in throughout the previous decade.

While promoting illegal immigration is a one issue, it is HUGE one. Sometimes the magnitude of one “OH Shit” outways the numerically more “atta boys”.

This vanity posts belongs somewhere else. I could tell you where in no uncertain terms but do not want to get banned.

I will tell you I have a Masters from FU University and you can take it from there.

You meant to say Harding. Hoover was not that bad. He did not cause the Great Depression, because a president does NOT control the ecomomy. His measures against the depression were iladvised. He was a mining engineer and didn’t understand ecomomics. Events over took his abilities.

Harding Upon winning the election, Harding appointed many of his old allies to prominent political positions. Known as the “Ohio Gang” were into all forms of corruption and malfeasance. “My God, this is a hell of a job!” Harding said. “I have no trouble with my enemies, but my damn friends, my God-damned friends... they’re the ones that keep me walking the floor nights!” Hows that for irony?

You are delusional.

Illegal immigrants does not trump 444 days of Americans held captive in Iran, 14% interest rates and 20% inflation, Give away the Panama Canal and on and on and on.

Why is the comparison to the worst president and not the best president? Why is the orientation down and not up? I aspire for more, and Bush falls well short of average.

Feminists hate it when you bring up that Harding was the first President that women helped elect.

Yeah, I'd say chomping at the bit to let 20 million illegals (plus their entire extended families) into our country to forever change it's demographic face is pretty destructive. Carter was disasterous but Bush might just be instrumental in hammering the nails into the coffin. For sure, Bush takes the prize.

But, Jimmah just might be the best ex-president :-P

Jimmuh Carter has rubbed elbows with the likes of Castro and Chavez, and other extremely despicable individuals. He's castigated his own country and placed seriously deranged despotic dictators up on pedestals. That's what you call the "Best Ex-President"?

‘I always thought Carter got a bad rap in regards to the economy.’

The economic woes in the 1970’s were the direct result of LBJ’s Great Society nonsense, combined with fighting a war, all with no measure designed to make up the shortfalls.
