He IS the worse POTUS in our history.
Look, I’m pretty disappointed in “W”, but that simply isn’t true. Jimmy Carter was radically worse. And again, while disappointed, he was without a doubt, better then Gore in 2000 and better then Kerry in 04. Man... now I’m sounding like one of those blind W lovers...and believe me...I’m not.
I’m not in love with GW anymore either, but you are right, better than what we had as an alternative.
He is one of the truly greats, imo. History will tell I guess, but there is no doubt in my mind that his decisions are principle, not poll, driven.
Now we may disagree with him on certain principles, but, at least he has some, which distinguishes him greatly among all others currently seeking to replace him.
I, for one, am grateful for his Presidency.
Regarding the ridiculous claim about W being the “worst President in our history” - when people invoke comparisons to Hitler or state that someone is the “worst in our history” they have already lost their argument.
Although Bush squandered opportunities to be a great President I believe he will eventually be regarded as having been a good and decent President who rose to the occasion after 9/11 to conduct a courageous WoT almost single-handedly and without hardly any help from the Congress.
