‘Incompetent’ is the top word that Americans associate with President Bush.

In a Pew survey released today, “just 11% said Bush will be remembered as an outstanding or above average president,” which is “by far the lowest positive end-of-term rating for any of the past four presidents.” Sixty-four percent of respondents said that the Bush administration “will be remembered more for its failures than its accomplishments.” The poll also asked people to describe Bush in a word. The top word that came to mind for 56 respondents was “incompetent“:

1. So he is less dishonest now

Now that the reality behind the Iraq war has broken? I don't get that. It went from 9% to 1%.

[dbt]

2. Too bad they left out EVIL.

And I suppose "worthless, lying, scumbag Spawn Of Satan" woulda been a bit long.

[Laelth]

14. EVIL is what immediately came to my mind as well.

Honestly, that's the best one-word description I can imagine for him.

:shrug:

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

Edit:Laelth--sloppy proofreading.

3. Torturer is more like it. nt

[mmonk]

4. Incompetence lies with the American people.

[Poiuyt]

5. The word I'll remember him by is EVIL

Real human beings don't start wars and torture people for political gain.

6. most of those words give him too much credit

incompetent, idiot, ignorant, and stupid got 113 votes out of 1000 voters. They all imply that he's trying to do what's best for the country and the American people but he just doesn't know how. The reality is that he's trying to do what's best for his corporate buddies and fellow fat cats and he certainly knew how to get that done. As for the rest of the country, if you ask about them, the answer is 'So?'

7. Bush is by far the worst in the History of the Entire World and its 48,000 year Homo Sapien History

In these past 8 years, he has squandered energy and time like no other. In this crit time, this is Evil and stupid waste.

He is not only Incomp...he is also Impotent...

History will show the fella unable to hunt.....

8. What about "crook"? nt

[TomInTib]

9. Looks like he has lost the Chtistians. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. He is NOT incompetent.

Does no one get that?

Look what he and his cronies have gained:

the wealth of at least 2 countries ( US and Iraq)
destruction of middle class of 2 countries-see above
handsomely rewarded Corpocracy/Pharma/Military profit
totally shut down any investigations into hundreds of crimes, including 9-11.

created a Vichy congress
created a generation of under-educated future cannon fodder
increased the power of a condensed ruling class on a global scale
destroyed the economic means of dozens of countries to resist US hegemony
packed the Federal and Supreme Courts
planted untold numbers of "career" ranked moles in the bowels of the Government.
polluted the planet beyond anyone's imagination

While most likely a puppet al la Palin, thus the "fall guy", I see nothing but success for Bush and the Neo-cons.

15. Barely competent to do the job he chose...

...namely, dismantling the Treasury to divvy among the executive class. Whatever competence he might actually have for the real work of the presidency, he is supremely uninterested in doing it.

And it's worked fairly well for him, up until this year. He and his cronies, however, will feel pretty stupid if all that money they stole becomes worthless because they got too greedy too quickly.

[Philosoraptor]

11. "Monster"

[spanone]

12. not me....CRIMINAL

[underpants]

13. ASS

[Wednesdays]

16. 31% say "honest"...WTF?

My God, this country is still steeped in the Kool-aid deeper than I thought.
