George Bush Worst President Ever?

Many people say off handed remarks about the President like, "this guy is the worst one ever," but rarely have we had anyone official back those claims up in the historical sense. Well, it seems 50 of the 415 historians recently polled said just that, outranking the perennial Presidential whipping post -- James Buchanan. Buchanan may have fumbled the country into the civil war with his borderline treasonous activity, but Bush is a winner on all fronts. Some of his stunning achievements in office so far include taking the country into an unwinnable war, alienating friend and foe alike. Bankrupting the country on heightened military spending and slashing taxation among the richest Americans. He's proved himself to be incompetent in both foreign (Iraq) and domestic affairs (New Orleans). He's mounted an attack on the core American principle of separation of church and state. Not to mention, deliberately "misleading" the American people on affairs foreign and domestic, and the list goes on. Just remember, he's got another two years to bolster his shinning resume for the historical annals. Only the passage of time can truly say if this rube is in fact the biggest loser. On the bright side, historians generally say there have been worse guys than Bush milling around the White House -- V.P. Dick Cheney seemed to come up a lot.
