HNN Poll: 61% of Historians Rate the Bush Presidency Worst

[Liability]

They were statists.

You are not a conservative, instead a very dangerous reactionary wack from the far right.

Fakey, you are the statist.

And you use terms without regard to their meaning. This does not lend itself to clear or rational conversation.

obama on the other hand has dozens of deaths in Iraq on the first day we got out to be proud of.

obama has a LOT to be proud of. In Egypt women are being stipped and beaten in the streets. In Libya black people are randomly slaughtered. Afghanistan is going to return to the taliban. The US is broke and selling the infrastructure to China.

It's all about the accomplishments.

Who was the imbecile that BEGAN these conflicts? Note the Kurfa community has been subjugated since before Gaddafi was removed. Pan Am Flight 103 appears forgotten to the anti Obama crowd; from Amnesty International:


During Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi’s rule, members of Libya's black Tabu community faced state-sanctioned discrimination.

Tabu people have been subjected to forced evictions, arbitrary arrest and detentions. They have often been refused the renewal of their identification documents, driving licences and passports.

Liability, you claim to be a conservative when he fact you are a reactionary wack. You will be one who is shoved to the side when the Republicans win with Romney this year. We are moving the reactionary garbage to the gutter.

Bush was rated a better President than William Henry Harrison who only lived for thirty days in the job. He has something to be proud of

Maybe better than Buchanan, MAYBE....................................

 

[JakeStarkey]

Bush was better than Buchanan. Bush only tired to divide the country, Buchanan succeeded.

 

[regent]

They haven't seen the Obama Presidency yet...........

In 2010 238 noted historians and presidential experts rated the presidents. They rated Obama, thus far in his presidency at the time. Obama was rated as America's 15th. best president. In that poll Bush was rated fifth worst and in economics 2nd. worst. Of course those rating can change somewhat. FDR was rated, for the first time, as the greatest American president, rather than one of the three greatest.

You think we aren't divided now? We now have the great divider in the White House. I cannot remember ever having so much division in this country.......

Fakey:

I am a conservative and your dishonest attempt at labeling has no value.

YOU, after all, pretend to be a "Republican," but you'd suck out President Obama's asshole if he asked you too.

You are losing this year when your Obamessiah gets booted out of Office.

Thank God.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Liability falsely claims to be a conservative but is in fact a far right reactionary with no real value.

I have supported Romney from the get go, and believe America is better off if both parties work at governance. Far lefties and far righties (such as yourself) have no good ideas for the country but serve a cause in paying your fair share for services.

When Romney wins this year, as he surely will, your kind will have no more room at the table than will the Barney Frank freaks. Romney will not want any of you freaks in decision and making policy positions.

Romney is a moderate conservative, willing to reach out to the opposition, and will to break heads on the far right if necessary to make sure this country is governed well.

hmmmm

Oh look! Necrotardia.

Egads! Even MORE necrotardia!

I'm beginning to feel like I'm in a "Night of the Living Thread" sequel!

Prior To Columbus sailing to America in 1492, I heard 61% of Historians thought the earth was flat also.... just saying...

100% Americans NOW vote Obastard the worst in history going back to the founding fathers.

Obama has compiled a remarkable record of economic disasters in his 31 months as President. He has added $4.3 trillion to our national debt, quadrupled our budget deficit, championed an unpopular and unfunded socialized healthcare plan and rammed through an unworkable $800 billion stimulus plan. In the process, gasoline prices have skyrocketed, home sales have tanked, the dollar is being challenged as the global reserve currency and inflation is rearing its ugly head again. Our country is suffering from 9.1 percent unemployment with an underemployment rate of 16.1 percent. Under President Obama, the number of chronically unemployed people is at an all-time high, as is the number of Americans on food stamps ($45.3 million).

In the midst of this economic nightmare, Obama reached a new low last Friday. He now becomes the first President in U.S. history to preside over a downgrade in our credit rating from AAA to AA+. Immediately, the U.S. drops from being the safest investment in the world to ranking below a dozen countries such as Liechtenstein. The new lower rating places the U.S. in an unimpressive group of nations including New Zealand and Belgium.

Whether the S&P made the right decision or not, there is no doubt that our debt is unsustainable and the recent deal to extend the debt ceiling was a joke on the American people. The compromise deal called for an increase of up to $9 trillion to our national debt and did not cut spending, but only slowed the growth in the size of the federal government. It offered no reform of entitlement programs and only a promise to vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment. The S&P was quite unimpressed with the “fiscal consolidation plan” agreed to by Congress and the President. In their view, it falls short of what “would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics.”

S&P is stating the obvious by downgrading our rating. In fact, the agency claimed the country’s economic outlook was negative and another rating downgrade could occur. According to the S&P, the total U.S. debt is set to surpass 88 percent of the gross domestic product by 2021, which would result in long term Treasury instruments becoming a much riskier investment.

The stock market reacted with a vengeance to this unprecedented news and there is real worry about how far it will fall. Yesterday, President Obama addressed the nation about the crisis. Instead of calming the market, he sent it much lower with his inane remarks. His words offer no substance, only practiced political rhetoric.

President Obama needs to stop talking and start acting. The problem is that he does not know what to do without a teleprompter. He uses them for cabinet meetings, speeches to elementary schools and addresses to groups both large and small. When he goes off the teleprompter, we see a confused and befuddled man who stumbles over the easiest questions.

As President, it is clear that Barack Obama is dangerously in over his head for he has no executive experience, no business experience, and no real world experience. As a Chicago community organizer, he has been thrust into the most important position in the world without the necessary skills to handle this crisis. The financial markets and to a growing extent, the American people have no confidence in his leadership, his vision, his policies or his team.

In the debt ceiling debate, the President did not offer his own plan and ignored the report of the respected debt commission. His own budget was “dead on arrival” and increased the national debt by $10 trillion. Initially, he wanted to increase the debt ceiling without any spending cuts, and vigorously opposed the GOP “Cut, Cap and Balance” proposal, which was only effective plan to deal with the ever increasing debt.

His point person on the economy is Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who is dangerously incompetent. In an interview with the Fox Business Network in April of this year, Geithner said there was no possible way we would lose our top credit rating. Talk about being wrong! Instead of firing Geithner, Obama has just encouraged him to stay in his position for another year, Heaven forbid!

Obama’s team is a collection of tax cheats; communist czars, left wing ideologues and social misfits. His vice president is a literal buffoon, who sticks his foot in his mouth practically every time he speaks.

Our country is in the midst of a serious crisis and we have no leadership, no vision, and no hope of redemption until the next election. Fortunately, a new PRonlineNews.com poll shows Obama losing to an unnamed Republican by a 54-45 percent margin, but the next election is not until November of 2012.

The next sixteen months will be the toughest period for our nation since the midst of the Great Depression.

Hold on America, we are now paying the full price for the careless and dangerous mistake made in November of 2008 with the election of DICKtator Barack Obastard as President.

smart people have a left leaning bias.

Then you must be the exception to the rule.

In many ways, G W Bush is the most liberal president in US history.

 

[whitehall]

Bulletin: Bush isn't the president. Anything is better than trying to defend Obama.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Having Bush again as president would be worst.

Even worse than that would be having Cheney again as vice-president.

We will do well with Romney because he will keep the far righties out of power, as he moves a bit toward center to create a governance with the opposition party.

FDR was rated, for the first time, as the greatest American president, rather than one of the three greatest.

maybe if BO can extend this depression for 10 years that leads to a world war the liberals will rank him up there with FDR?

Silly edward nonsense, we see.

yes, the way to become a liberal icon is depression and world war!! FDR proved it. Imagine if the depression had gone on for 20 years and the war for 10?

See why we are positive liberals will be slow? What other explanation is possible?

The depression began with Hoover and Hoover did his best with his rugged individualism speeches and loans to corporations, but America was worse off at the end of his term. As for FDR, it seem that most Americans were happy with FDR as they elected him four times in a row, that's four times in a row, count em four times. And those four times may stand up as an American record. Add to that, some historians have now named FDR as America's greatest president, that's greatest. So we end up four times in a row and America's greatest, that must really hurt.
The sad thing, Republicans are still wondering what to do about FDR, his four times in a row and America's greatest. About the only thing they can do is dream, dream that the depression had gone on for another 20 years and the war lasted ten. That about says it all, FDR, four times and greatest, and Republican dreams of a disaster that never occurred.
