He's The Worst Ever (Have your barf bags ready)

President Bush actually doesn't come out all that badly, at least among presidents in my lifetime - from best to worse, we have:

Reagan, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Bush II, Ford, Bush I, Nixon, Clinton, Johnson, Carter

You are right concerning Coolidge. I remember reading "objective" rankings when I was in high school forty years ago. Coolidge was always ranked low. I wasn't until I much older and realized that most people doing these rankings were libs that I learned to ignore them. They rank high any president who is a semi-socialist. Woodrow Wilson was given a high ranking simply for proposing the League Of Nations (which the U.S. didn't even join) and just about nothing else.

Pubic radio is going full blast anti Bush today I noticed.

Gary "know nothing" Wills bashing the prez today and falsifying history on the new Bob Edwards welfare stint

ON a local Pubic radio show hosted by bozo Kurt Smith we had the full rap of anti Bush propaganda this morning:

http://www.wxxi.org/perspectives/
Frank Shuffleton, a Thomas Jefferson "scholar".

William Leuchtenburg, History prof blabbered about what Franklin Roosevelt would say about Bush at home and abroad.

David Greenberg, Rutgers University cacademic and author of the book "Nixon's Shadow," chatters about how Richard Nixon would deem Bush.

I remember him saying Bush was "rudderless". He was wrong then and he is wrong now.

Carter and Johnson both had painfully amateurish understandings of the conduct of war and national defense, but LBJ's murderously incompetent conduct of the Vietnam war that is simply not forgivable. I recommend an HBO film called Path to War.

Foner makes Howard Dean look conservative, so this is not exactly an unbiased critique. Eric Foner is a babbling far-left moron who is not fit to judge any president, of whatever background or ideology. The fact that people like Foner can become tenured and so-called "distinguished" professors in academe (of history, no less!!) shows that the state of our universities is dire indeed.

[He Rides A White Horse]

FDR is good because he was just mean to Japs in America.

....and really nice to Stalin; giving away half of Europe.

[beyond the sea]

Harry Reid's illegitimate son?

[Lurker]

Silent Cal was one of the best Presidents of the 20th Century.

The worst?

Hands down: Jimmy Carter. In my view he's pretty close to the worst President ever.
