The Verdict is in: Guess Who's The Worst President in US History?
HubPages.com ^ | Nov. 11, 2015 | Not known

Americans of all stripes love to debate which president was best or worst. This is a subject that is too important to rely on opinion polls, which are skewed by individual bias and political views. While It's difficult to rate how good or bad any president may have been in comparison to another, a careful look at the facts shows one president failed in virtually every aspect of the job to a degree unrivaled by any other.

When you review the facts below and consider his impact on our economy, foreign policy, and domestic policy, by almost any standard, it’s difficult to find any president who did more harm and left the country in worse shape than George W. Bush.

At the same time that Bush was leaving office with a 28% job approval rating, 61% of historians rated George W. Bush's presidency as the worst in history. In another, informal survey of 109 professional historians, 98.2% judged the Bush presidency as a failure while a mere 1.8% classified it as a success.

Below you can find all the reasons that George Bush deserves the title of Worst President in US History. I encourage you to do your own research and verify the facts stated in this article.

The Liberals blame Bush for us losing 4,500 Soldiers in Iraq after every Intelligence Agency in the World said Saddam was armed with WMD’s and was endangering the entire Mideast.

Never mind the 17 U.N. Resolutions against Iraq for not disclosing their Weapons stockpile.

LBJ lied us into Vietnam and we lost 45,000 Soldiers.

Yep, Bush was the worst by far.

Yeah, you can only go so far down before you run out of paper in the chart's lowest scale. They are the only folk I know with negative number IQ scores.

Gee! Does that mean they can't even meet the minimum?

That would appear to be the case...

Record surplusses turned into record deficits; a failed and mismanaged war sold on pretenses that were false; a totally inept Katrina response; a politicized Justice Department; outing a CIA agent; a financial meltdown; and the worst economy since the Great Depression.

Only problem of course is all of that is nonsensical lies. But I know, never bother a Leftist political bigot with the inconvenient facts.

Mindless regurgitating the Leftist lies, does not turn them into fact.

Love how the usual clown posse of ignorant Leftist around here ignore the facts that ALL the “intelligence” that justified going into Iraq was the SAME intelligence Bill Clinton used to justify bombing the hell out of Iraq during his Impeachment.

If you want to claim that intelligence was falsified. Look to your political god Bill Clinton for the source of the lies.

Sure, just ignore the facts that ALL the “intelligence” that justified going into Iraq was the SAME intelligence Bill Clinton used to justify bombing the hell out of Iraq during his Impeachment.

The degree of "suck" among Presidents should be measured on legislation/foreign policy decisions they pushed that funnels into future generations. $19 trillion and growing plus out-of-control spending, expansion of the bureaucracy, a power vacuum in the Middle-East that Islamic sects are trying to fill, along with aiding Chinese development, means a lot of Presidents traded short-term “victories” for long-term instability.

Actually did a lot of good things like balance the budget and pay down the national debt. He was ill served by crooks like Albert Fall and the Teapot Dome scandal.

Had to step out and did not finish my thought.

All theses "lists" by professional historians are subjective quasi-intellectual shams that often overlooks harmful policies enacted by their "favorites". The question/actual usefulness of historians should be: How do we fix the mess and avoid electing potential Presidential candidates along with there policies from future mistakes.

Perhaps that is the best we can hope for now--but if it is, it is because of the fundamental destruction of America as America that Barack Obama has accomplished in his seven years in office, and for that he richly deserves the prize of being the worst inhabitant of the Presidency.

You have a very strong argument here. We already know the seen damage of BO's reign . . . but it may take years before we know the unseen damage.

Our only hope is that if Trump is a righteous Caesar, he will be like Augusto Pinochet, right some wrongs, leave the scene and allow the American sheeple to choose stupid again though, hopefully, it will not be the ObaMao level of stupid.

Good article on FDR you linked to there. Thanks. I really like that poem in post 12 by the way. As a side note check the history of The Liberty League". They were destroyed by FDR in much the same way Reid has tried to destroy the Koch brothers.

GWB certainly was a factor but I think McCain is most responsible.

"Record surpluses turned into record deficits; a failed and mismanaged war sold on pretenses that were false; a totally inept Katrina response; a politicized Justice Department; outing a CIA agent; a financial meltdown; and the worst economy since the Great Depression."

Sounds like a sentence straight outta Democrat Underground.
