Worst American President, EVER!
Yahoo is running an article on why some Americans (and historians) consider George W. Bush the worst American president EVER! Even worse than the previous worst president, James Buchanan, which some argue that is a very tough record to beat.
Some of the reasons why GWB is being considered the worst of the worst:
- He has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;
- He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;
- He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;
- He has repeatedly “misled,” to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;
- He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign ( Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);
- He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;
- He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;
- He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic’s oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime.
The article ended in saying:
Besides, many of the historians note that however bad Bush seems, they have indeed since worse men around the White House. Some say Buchanan. Many say Vice President Dick Cheney.
Yeah, I am not sure about that dickhead, I mean, Dick. He’s one shady son of a biatch. Speaking of shady characters, the entire Bush cabinet is f*cked up (with the exception of Colin Powell whose legacy was ruined by lying on behalf of GWB in front of the United Nations to make the case for the war in Iraq. Let’s face it, GWB just wanted to make his dada proud by kicking an ass that his father couldn’t. Ah~ the Bush Dynasty… America’s very own monarchy in the making.
Speaking of Dumb and Dumber, U.S. Rejects New Talks on Climate Change.
I am shocked! Say it ain’t so…

Seriously, I agree. Didn’t the US have billion of budget surplus before GWB took over?

In all fairness to GWB, the budget surplus was a “projected surplus”, savings that’s not going to be realized until later. That’s when GWB came up with the idea that instead of saving the surplus for rainy day (um, Katrina?), why not give it back to the wealthy Americans in the form of tax cuts. Sadly, some people voted for him for THAT (that’s YOU, Carl!).
After that bill was passed, I got a small tax refund, enough for a couple of good meals. But then Ben Affleck went on TV and said it’s not fair to us middle class to get a small refund when he got a million bucks! Imagine how much the ultra-rich got from that tax cut, huh?
Bush believes in the “trickle down” effect of his tax cuts in the economy — in that when the wealthy gets money back, they spend it. He thinks the economic ecosystem that surrounds this type of spending ultimately benefits the middle class and the poor. But what he and his team of advisors didn’t see (or maybe they saw it but didn’t care) was, what if those people don’t spend the money? And even if they spend it, everyone takes a cut of that money in the ecosystem. By the time it trickles down to the people who really need it to support their families, they come in the form of minimum wages. Not a very efficient system if you ask me.
Bush may not be evil (that’s Dicky; he’s evil), but he’s definitely not very smart.

Despite the numerous criticism put forth, Bush Jr. is still able to be reelected, and the Republicans consolidating further control of the House and the Senate during Bush’s term: How lame can the Democrats be? I just hope the democrats can get it together and put the U.S. on the mend from right-wing fanaticism.
