Bush2 is close to replacing Herbert Hoover of The Great Depression as the worst GOP president in history.

If GW keeps pushing this amnesty and does end up signing it, George W Bush of The Great Invasion will have succeeded in replacing Jimmy Carter as the worst president in history.

But, Bush2, like Jimmy Carter even now, is trying to latch on to a legacy. He has already ceded the WoT to a War Czar. About the only remaining opportunity GW has is amnesty for 12-20 million illegals.

Next year, the pols will be too busy with primaries, conventions, and the general election, so GW only has a few months to secure his legacy, and the Comprehensive Immigration fiasco is about the the only major legislation on the table.

I am convinced had the economic situation of America done more than hiccuped, President Bush would have suffered scathing impeachment attempts from his administration's and the GOP's associated incompetence.

That possibility hasn't totally expired yet. When, through incompetent stubbornness, one damages the public credibility of the party that's their lifeline of political support, well - we're all smart enough to realize where that puts one in the political playing field.

I have been of the opinion since about six months into his second term that it was going to be a disaster. Everything he did smacked of arrogance and tone deafness. He just seemed to be focused on all the wrong issues and had a "screw you" attitude towards his own base. Illegals, Harriet Miers, Dubai, the list is long. Couple with his total unwillingness to defend himself or anyone in his adminstration while allowing corruption in democrats to go unchallenged and more or less ignored (Sandy Burglar?) And then he lost both houses of congres but came out saying that there were good aspects, he'd finally get that crummy immigration thing passed that his own base and party was opposed to! Yes, his second term has been an unmitigated mess.

But his first term had some good aspects. Tax cuts were good, strong and unwavering response to islamic jihadism was good. Most other things were bad, but those two were really important. So he beats carter because he was actually good on a couple of important issues. If you took away his second term, any comparison to Carter would be laughable. The fact that it is being made seriously now shows you just how atrocious this mans second term has been.
