if we're around, he'll be remembered as a good president who was misunderstood.  A guy who sacrificed his presidency for the safety of the people.  His ugly fucking mug will be on some denomination.  sorry, but true.

I too think history will judge him differently.

Worse than Carter? Not by a long shot.

A joke of a president? Sure.

The thing is, in my opinion they're not just negligent like past presidential administrations.  Many of the things they have done that have hurt our Country were planed and executed with the end result in mind.

People have a very short memory or no grasp of history. Nobody remembers gas lines or how shitty the late 70's were for this country. Carter is the worst modern president, he's the gift that keeps on giving. One failed foreign policy blunder after another.

He'll be remembered as the worst IF there is a major recession.

If not, he'll just be known as the guy who let 911 happen, like FDR and Pearl Harbor, who was a tad buffoonish but did his best.

The only saving grace in all of this is that while Lionsgate usually produces quality material, their distribution isn't all that wide, so hopefully we can forget the bastard as he sails off to his safe-haven in Paraguay.

From the foreign and social policies standpoint, time will be very kind President Bush as the years go by.  Economically speaking, he will not be as fortunate.  But, anyone who considers the time frame of the economic woes, critics may not be as harsh. 

I also believe that had Al Gore or John Kerry been in office (I literally just cringed at the thought), this nation would have been as divided as it is now.  It's just where we are as a culture.

I agree with some of this.  But i do think Iraq will go down as a big blunder for Dubya and it will worsen as time goes on instead of get kinder.  i do think John Kerry could have done a worse job starting in 2004, but who knows.   I'm still unclear as to exactly how we have come to this point in our economy and how our elected representatives helped led us here or contributed to it.

U Can look back to Carter and his urban reinvestments law in 1977, then tie that to the Clinton push for more loans to minorities. These companies knew full well there would be alot of defaults. Everybody is blaming Phil Graham. He passed a law in 1999 that is allowing the market to correct itself now. His law allowed regular banks to purchase the investment houses. The morgage mess can be directly tied to the Dems, again legislating with the heart, as opposed to tieing this all to Bush or the Repubs.

The thing is, in my opinion they're not just negligent like past presidential administrations.  Many of the things they have done that have hurt our Country were planed and executed with the end result in mind.
very true, and this is why its so disturbing. here are some of Bush's grand accomplishments:

-repeats the relatively recent mistake of vietnam with his miguided, disatrous iraq war. administration purposely misleads the public as well as our allies to get support for invasion

-thousands of americans get killed due to completely inept planning and management, lack of proper care of troops, Bush claims MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 2 weeks in, and 5 years later his party mates are still saying 'we're on the verge of victory!' as they have been repeating the last 5 YEARS as american troops continue dying for no clear reason, simply holding the seams together.

-vice president cheney's company is given the rights to rebuild iraq, making huge profits

-lowest approval rating of any president ever

-damaged our relationships with our allies and completely tarnished our nation's reputation around the world

-has done more to infringe on the constitution and erode civil rights than any president ever

-took over a good economic standing and turned it into the biggest deficit ever seen, a number so huge even the monopoly guy couldnt pronounce it

-continues to drastically put us deeper in the hole, indebting us to foreign nations

-cost of gas quadruples

-high unemployment, worst economic situation since the GREAT DEPRESSION

-those factors are compunded by drastically rising cost for virtually any groceries

-as americans struggle to get by, huge numbers of foreigners take advantage of our weak economy and move in. suddenly spanish seems like the predominant language in parts of the southwest where it was uncommon before. most of new york's landmark skyscrapers are bought and owned by foreigners

-administration has chosen to continue to largely ignore environmental concerns/pander to big (oil)business

-has given a half-assed at best attempt to promote/create alternative energy opportunites in a time when we need it most


the question is, is there ANYTHING this administration HASNT squandered? is there any area they have not taken us 5 steps backwards in? what GOOD things have they done exactly? not for themselves i mean, but for americans? haha worst ever.
