LETS ALL MAKE FUN OF BUSH BECAUSE EVERYONE DOES IT LOL!
Bush anti-propaganda is just as annoying as global warning and christrian values. Yes, he did fuck up a lot of things, but is he the worst president ever? No.
Who would you nominate as the worst president ever then?

Van Buren, Grant, Nixon, Fillmore (lol), or Kennedy (I don't find his "avoidance" of the racial equality movements to be very ______ (can't think of the word ><)).
true, FDR is really arguable, but he did create a lot of programs which relieved the depression (governmental jobs for the unemployed); the problem is that several of those useless programs are still in existence O.o
Double-post edit:
A few more to the list:
Harrison, Taylor
Okay, I'll settle with Harrison (who didn't do anything.. not to his fault of course since he fell ill and died before he could do anything). Then again it depends on how far back in history we're willing to go. If up to more recent times, I'd settle with either Kennedy or Nixon.
Yeah, The New Deal might not have been a shining moment for FDR, but his overall presidency was really pretty remarkable.
I would say GWB is one of the worst, but not really the absolute worst President we've had. I mean, Nixon alone was enough to ensure that.
I try not to prejudge based on party, because they very often say and do almost the same thing, but man - I really, really dislike our current administration.
Interesting that noone said Wilson. History usually gives him the axe just b/c he was president when the depression hit. He was screwed before people even started checking his name on the ballot.

Now hold on...you shouldn't be blasting Jeb just because he's a Bush. He's actually very good.

Yes, for the record, I don't believe too many people are like Bush. American's aren't ignorant, over-indulgant (Yes, many of use are heavy set, but most of the time, those people are either workaholics and eat fast food the majority of their meals, or very lazy....again, not the vast majority of the United States.)
You couldn't be any more incorrect here if you tried. Most Americans are ignorant. Most Americans will believe what ever it is that they read on a message board spewed forth but half wits with an agenda and a mal concieved notion that they are superior. Most Americans believe the first thing they hear on the radio, see on TV, or read about in a paper or magazine yet will never follow up with any form of research. America is the land of the Free and the home of the band wagon jumpers.
Point in case: America was led to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The US invades after much publicity. The US finds no weapons. 2 years later we learn that top Iraqi officials admit to moving those weapons just days before the invasion. Documentation and interviews confirm that there was Russian and French involvement in Iraq just before the invasion.
Maybe for once if you would do some research you just might understand the real issues. The biggest problem with the Iraq war was not with the US intel or with the missing weapons of Mass Destruction. The biggest problem is, why did Russia, China, and France block any action? What did we find in Iraq? French and Russian Weapons still to be fully paid for, French, Russian, and Chinese technology not fully paid for, and the list goes on and on. Why is Russia and China trying to block action against Iran. Hmmm....
Oh well... Bush is not my favorite president. I respect him more than ever will Clinton's sorry pathetic excuse for a human butt.
But I digress... I know return you to the usuall Democrat beating on Bush thread.
Bush is a decent president, he isn't even bad. The country is now stronger and all that yadda.
Nothing sickens me more than people who don't know garbage about American history thinking their opinion of politics means a god damn thing. Hay, remember that Jackson nearly wiped out an entire race of people? OMG BUSH IS SO BAD BY COMPARSION, HE WANTED US TO SELL OUR DOCKS TO TEH EVIL ARABS.
I disagree with FDR however, even if it is true or not he planned Pearl Habor.
@Shishimura
You contradict yourself as you start to lean into the liberal-bashing; you claim Clinton to be a sorry excuse for a human being, yet his domestic priorities were amazing and successful (some may disagree with the welfare program). He made the first step to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.. which isn't strong enough by itself but is nonetheless the first step into the area. Internationally, he was against nuclear proliferation and reducing trade barriers. Yet, his international policy is exceedingly less aggressive than that of Bush's (but that is how he saw it best) and people would argue that Clinton did not do enough with America's power to "keep the world a safer place."
If you can't see, I'm trying to promote political open-mindness (if thats even a world hehe). You can't blindly believe one side and see anything opposing your beliefs as evil and wrong. People aren't "bad" because they don't share your beliefs. Extremeism is an example of close-mindedness. Being open-minded allows for societies to grow together for a common good as people can exchange viewpoints openly.
I'm a liberal who hates all other liberals. I'm apart of neither party, though if the Democrats didn't fail at politics(equal to a level 75 MNK using Sushi) or were hypocrits, I might be one of them.
sadly we could never see the presanater in office cuz of the whole born in austrea (sp)
Actually there is a law slated to be passed that says if you are a contructive member of the US for (I think it is 30 years) you will be able to run for pres. I don't recall the actuall terms, but I think it will get passed.

Sorry, it won't happen. It's not a matter of passing a law, it's a question of amending the Constitution itself, which is far more difficult than passing a bill.
From Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Well I for once don't want any "Bush type government goign into power again dragging the british government to fight his war. It is now well documented that the Uk Labour Government is going to struggle to win teh next election, scandles with the deputy Pm sleeping with his secretary, the home office minister admitting 1000 foreign prisoners "they can't find" after being given probation, Prescott screwing up the fire service (yes I was out ons trike in 2002 with the rest of the firefighters) I have no confidence in our government and absolutly no confidense int eh Amercian government. They don't care about the environment, they screwed up during the floods down in New Orleans and they war on iraq has turned them into a laughing stock. I hate polititians and I hate corrupt politicians even more. Both the AMerican and Uk governments need to change and hopefully someone repalces them who actually has sense.
Just think about some of George W's speaches and the amount of bluffs he comes up with.
I am for freedom of speach and I would defend my beleifs. Many may not agree with me, but just look at the evidence....
