The Enigma In Chief

Newsweek thinks W is the worst president ever. Now that is a real shocker.

Newsweek thinks W is the worst president ever. What a shocker. Unbelievable!

Freddie and fannie F-d up the economy and congress didn't have to support the war in Iraq, I still think Bush was the lesser evil...................Gore would of been worse, he would of bankrupt the country to get his Green Power agenda going to line his pockets, just goes to show what party politics can do to a country and the foolish who support party politics.

You Clinton supporters seem to forget that he lied under oath. It doesn't matter what Bush or anyone esle did. Clinton lied and that is a fact. I doubt that many of you allow your children to lie just because someone else did the samt thing or worse. Think about it!

It's easy to be an arm chair quarterback after the game. Truth is, we do not and will not know what Bush knew on, before or after 9/11 but his actions made this American proud. Attack us and we retaliate. Take the shoe throwing incident; if Bush had gone after the guy who threw it and beat the hell out of him, I would have been proud! America needs to stand for strength through peace yet when attacked, retaliate without hesitation and attcks will soon stop on our homeland. Our soldiers are fighting for someone else's freedom and those people hate us for helping them. That is a "defining" moment!

Only a few more days then things will get better thank god!!!

Bush is great!!! I cannot believe the scapegoat he has become. If Obama could be half of the true leader Bush is it would be a wonder

bush was for bush and no one els.as long as he got his.he did't care about no one,when he died he going to hell,

This was such a horrible and bias peace of writing that isn't even worthy of being published. If you have not forgotten President Bush did win a second term. He did an outstanding job and will be missed by many. Now all we have to look forward to is a very inexperienced person that we do not even know yet about to run our great country. Who will be behind President Elect Obama's decisions for we know that it will not be his own.

Your an idiot to think the war had nothing to do with oil. If not ask yourself this how much did it cost to fuel your car last year at this time and how much now?? Interesting

amazing what falls on a president while in office -- isn't Congress which really ultimately passes legislation. Currently aren't they mostly Democrats --- where is the blame in reality?

I love how the Bush backers only have ONE single accomplishment they can cling to. Isn't one catastrophic attack enough to justify the complete failure and utter ineptitude of Bush? How many more blunders have to take place? He cannot be out of office fast enough for myself, the country, the whole world.

Very sad to see such a narrow and biased view make the front page. The same accoutnts that the author describes as a negative, you can turn another way. History will show that Bush was instrumental in removing one of the worst killers in history, Saddam. This economy and 9/11were set in motion and the responsibility of Bill Clinton...The true worst president. Bush was absolute in his decisions and did not allow people who did not know or understand all the facts to sway the decision of the greatest good. It takes great and courageous leadership to make hard decisions for the betterment of man kind.

I THINK BUSH DID A GOOD JOB WITH OUR COUNTRY. HIS MAIN GOAL WAS TO KEEP US SAFE AFTER 9-11, AND THAT IS JUST WHAT HE DID. IT SHOULD BE THE #1 GOAL FOR ANY PRESIDENT!!!!!

I can already all the excuses to protect Obama when he make a mistake

Not only was Bush a disaster on every level, I believe the war in Iraq was started so he could run for a second term as a "war President." No sitting President has ever lost an election when our country was at war. His father did not go to Baghdad in the first Gulf Coast war because he knew it would involve years of occupation and that is precisely why 43 did. The redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the very rich is why our economy is in such poor shape. The middle class is the engine that drives our economy. This was clearly evident during the Clinton years. Bush 43 may not be the worst President ever (Hoover, Grant), but we won't know for awhile whether the "mistakes" were due to incompetance, naivete, manipulation, or greed and graft. It seems likely a combination thereof. Even gross incompetance could not explain all the mistakes, though Bush 43 was obviously grossly incompetant.

Bush and Cheney are criminals and should be held accountable for what they did to our economy and to the worlds economy. Americans have never been as hated as we are now and as Americans we are responsible for allowing someone so incompetent to run our country. He wasn't qualified to run any of the large business's, and he would have been fired as soon as the accounting showed such large losses due to his incompetency. Lesser criminals serve years in prision, and these two and their cronnies not only go free, but have profitted from our losses. Americans who voted for him have gotten what they deserve, but the rest of us have to suffer as well. What he did to this country is criminal and he should have to pay for his crimes.

Wow. Some major fighting going on here. H and V, this name calling is not worth it. Look to a bright future..the past is dark. Good night.

40Year, the reply won't respond below... good question, but yes I think they volunteer, knowing there's no draft, for a reason. If they felt as some do on this board, they would never enlist knowing they were going to fight a war they didn't believe in.
