No way in hell Bush should have been second. Where in the Hell was the other terrorist lover, Jimmy Carter? Something's not right.
we trust the poll for #1, and yes, we trust it for #2 also.
Bush did sorta bring us the Bush Doctrine, the policy of pre-emptively attacking countries. That was a hugely dangerous precedent that obama sure has enjoyed too. Obama took things even further, making him even worse, I agree there.
Bush was VERY good at expanding the neocon war agenda, which many people believe in.
Bush was VERY poor at managing national debt, creating jobs, etc
Granted, obama is worse, so please don't respond with "but the libs did this..."
The fact is, carter never started 2 major wars that he couldn't get us out of.
