    bush is likely going to be in the lower third of presidency, but you mean to tell me he's worse than hoover? carter? andrew johnson? buchanan? harding? grant?
    Ford got out of office just in time so that his reputation as president didn't have to absorb that misery index that made Carter one of the worst. Otherwise, Ford would have been further down the lower third.

    I'm sure Bush will go down as one of the worst presidents in your memory.

    However, your memory doesn't go past 1996.

    I take it that the 1996 reference is directed at me instead of reefer. Go back and check that rockin didn't quote me on that statement, you dipshit.

    maybe you ought to look up the history involving the economy and foreign policy **** ups thanks to the worst President in the 20th century in Jimmy Carter....

    Bush is not and will not be considered a great president... he did much better in his first 4 than his last 4... in terms of national security he did rather well.. he actually worked across the table with DEMs more than what the uber-leftists will give him credit for... he gaffed a lot after being warned about signs in the economy and not reacting to it well... As a conservative guy, he certainly ain't a favorite of mine, but he did an average job considering the various hands he was dealt in the past 8 years

    You're right about Carter's foreign policy **** ups. Carter was too weak to deal with the Ayatollah. But Reagan knew that all it took was some anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

    Allegedly.

    Re: President Barack Obama

    I don't think there has ever been such a generationally and racially divided America ever before. I pray Obama follows through with the certain statements that he has made. I think he can help America grow past many racial perceptions. I am afraid we will be a socialist country before he is done though....

    One item that I found of extreme interest... Anyone who thought he might be affiliated with radical Muslims can most likely toss that idea out the window after his Chief of Staff appointment!

    In case you didn't know, America existed before 1966.

    I failed to insert the word "election" into that sentence as intended. The concept of my statement about the election and the voting demographics remains the same. I am not saying its a bad thing. I am saying it appears to be a big growth step if Obama turns out to be a great Prez.

    Well, I'm not convinced they didn't KNOW about it. I mean, it's been acknowledged and proven that our leaders knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor before it happened, and did nothing to stop it. I don't buy that the US Gov't planned or partook in the attacks, but it's POSSIBLE they knew. I mean, there were clues...

    First off, McCain was involved with Charles Keading. So, if you want to bring up stupid affiliations, McCain was involved with his share of crooks too.

    Second, Biden was NOT a worse choice than Palin. Palin cost McCain his shot at the election. She alienated ANY AND ALL non-conservatives. The undecided moderates were turned off by her complete conservative ideals, and refusal to accept other though processes.

    Biden, while he has a tendency to talk down to the voters and the people who governs, at least he is experienced, intelligent, and able to verbalize his thoughts without repeating the same three phrases over and over (Maverick, Joe Six-Pack, and Hockey Mom).

    Obama, while unproven, and no guarantee to be as good a president as many project, at least did not agree with Bush 90% of the time....I mean, Bush's approval rating is in the 20's, and McCain agreed with the vast majority of his policies and ideas.

    yeah but to believe it was intentional? to think there were clues and they ignored them is one thing, to think there were clues, they believed them, and let it happen is another.

    it's like in World War II, Stalin heard from every different credible source he had that Germany was going to turn on him. But he didn't believe any one of them. It was stupid, but at least he didn't LET Germany attack him on purpose. That's possibly what happened here. They DEFINITELY didn't intentionally let the attack happen. I refuse to believe that.
