“This is the worst president ever.
He [George W. Bush] is the worst president in all of American history.”
– Helen Thomas, Society for Professional Journalism



“A friend of mine here at CNN has a theory about the Bush administration.
They’re convinced that everything Bill Clinton ever did was wicked,
bad and awful, and so they want to do the opposite....
Clinton wanted to save all that wilderness area in Alaska;
and Mr. Bush wants to drill for oil there.
Clinton fussed about clean air; this president wants to
ease new restrictions on coal-burning power plants....
Clinton, my friend noted, had surpluses.
Obviously, the Bush administration thinks those are evil,
because what they want is deficits --
big ones, maybe the biggest ever.”
– CNN, Bruce Morton, Late Edition, February 9.

When Clinton came into office in 1993, the nation had come out of a recession. The economy was expanding. Eight years later, the economy had gone into a recession, and Clinton had done nothing to fix the situation. George W. Bush came into office, with a recession in full swing. He cut taxes and increased government spending and got us out of the recession. Three years into his first term, Bush had the economy growing at its fastest rate in 20 years.

When Clinton was president, the US faced regular terrorist attacks, domestically (OKC, World Trade Center) and over-seas (African embassies, USS Cole, etc). Clinton took no effective steps against these attacks. He passed up several chances to capture bin Laden and he embroiled us in a pointless war in the Balkans. George W. Bush became president, experienced one terrorist attack and set about ridding the world of this scourge. Three years into his first term, two terrorist countries have been overthrown and turned into free nations. Additionally, Libya has agreed to get rid of all its WMD, and the efforts of the uS are not slowing down.

Worst President ever? How can anyone say that?

For a long time, it was traditional for Helen Thomas to be given the opportunity to ask the first question at all presidential press conferences. I don't think that's the case anymore. I listened to W's last presser, and It seemed like the first question went to someone else. I must say, I approve of the change! ;-)
