Bush is better than at least 3 people, if not more on that list. He is better than LBJ (who was not very good at all), JFK, and Woodrow Wilson. Furthermore, he should be credited, like Harry Truman, for being a good steward in very adverse times.

He still is a mess on immigration and outsourcing policies, but he is better than LBJ.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

The most successful wartime president in US history [when measuring mathematically: land taken, people liberated, speed, and measured against losses], Bush's weak point would be economics, and there's not much to complain about there. As things stand currently, how could Bush possibly be ranked so low?

While Bush was not my first choice for president [and I'm proud to say that], while he's terrible at safer borders and spending restraint, for example, while he's slow on ideas like school choice and the Fair Tax, while he wretchedly continued NEA funding increases, I'll give credit where it's due. He's way up there in success stories.

When you hear historians talk about LBJ's presidency they almost always include an admiring aside about the job he did as senate majority leader -- it's almost like saying that the man was a great pro quarterback because he was a great collegiate running back. The qualifications for the jobs are very different.
