But better than Alley Cat Clinton
Ward, are you being hard on the beaver again?
1. Kept America in a war for years.
2. Gave the taxpayers a break by using tariffs to finance the government.
3. Warned the nation against foreign entanglements, whether the foreigners liked us or not.
Guess they think that other George was a failure, too.
I tell you the Liberal Dems are coming undone ~ nearly in a state of total collapse.
It's this Hildabeast/Obamasama thing isn't it!
???
Herbert Hoover???
Ronald Reagan???
Millard Fillmore???
What were the other 39% or so thinking? Were they sleeping through the past 7 years of political cronyism, government sponsored torture, war, jobs depression, and stock market stagnation?
Rick Shenkman the editor has a history degree from Vassar.
Thereby proving that 98% of professional historians are also professional liberals.
As if we had any doubt...
Corrected:
So he doesn't give a rat's ass about an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network
“Not only that, more than 61 percent of the historians say the current presidency is the worst in American history.”
Apparently, all of them were born after 1980.
Well I think history will smile on Bush. I will miss him.
stock market stagnation? What the hell is that? Is that when it neither goes up or down? Did you go to school with these delusional history professors... or are you bitter from PA?
Sorry to hear that the last seven years have been so tough on you, MM.
Bet you had a tough time in the eighties, too...
Historians are supposed to BE impartial, not SAY they're impartial, not be left wingnuts.
Show me the specific list of names and their professional affiliations and personal political contributions. That would shed some much needed honesty on this issue.
...with a consensus that mankind causes climate change...
Two of the three reasons are canards cribbed from the DNC. Citing “Invading of Iraq” begs the question. If in the future that proves to have been a mistake Bush will look bad if not he will look good.
The failure to mention protecting Americans from another 9-11 as a significant positive achievement, even if you disagree with everything else about the President, is a clear bias.
A president that was a complete failure does not get reelected, also.
Most of the current crop of historians grew up during the sixties and are marxists. The next generation will be a bit less devoted to karl.
Which is why I exited my hoped-for-career as a Professor of History.
Woodrow Wilson was the worst, no one else is close . He gave us the Federal Reserve and, after being re-elected on a “He kept us out of war” platform, got the U.S. into WWI . A war we had no stake in yet cost us 210,000 American lives .
61 percent of historians think ...
An unpopular war with 5,000 deaths is worse than a civil war with 6 to 700,000 deaths - any real historian would rank James Buchanan below George W. Bush.
5.1 percent unemployment is worse than 36 percent undemployment during the Great Depression - any real historian would rank Herbert Hoover below George W. Bush.
Having an aide to the Vice President convicted for misleading a grand jury about a matter that did not involve an underlying crime is worse than being forced to resign from office for covering-up a break-in on the opporing political party’s headquarters - any real historian would rank Richard M. Nixon below George W. Bush.
The fact that the majority of a survey of so-called professional historians ranked G.W. Bush last proves that they’re (A) ignorant of history, (B) emotionally disturbed, and/or (C) tenured professors.
