20. It is impossible for me to even consider a more inept president
than what we now have.

Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover all pale in comparison to what we have in the Oval Office today.

There were "great" presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR, men who tried to make a difference in the lives of those who live in this nation, but even the "bad" presidents I mentioned above could not come close to being what this miscreant is.

As a nation, we have faced many a crisis, some of them far worse than others, what the bush administration did to this nation is unconscionable. They very Document they swore to uphold, they tore to pieces, it was never about "protecting the nation", it was all about the consolidation of power. 9-11, as horrid and tragic as it was, showed we could be attacked; but unlike Pearl Harbor, the threat from alQaeda is nothing compared to what the threat from the Japanese was at the time. Yet that analogy is what they used as an excuse to start a war that has accomplished nothing except death, disfigurement and permanent debt.

No historian can possibly come up with anything that would salvage this disaster. Hoover, got the blame for the Great Depression, but the policies of Harding and Coolidge set the stage for breakdown. The policies of bush and his cronies have set the stage for an even worse scenario, one where the "gentry" would rule over the "fiefs". They want us to become "royalist" society, complete with king and court.

Most people haven't noticed that the GOP dropped "the Party of Lincoln" about 6 years ago, I'm sure that is not an oversight, I am positive they dropped it because they could no longer tie into Lincoln, a man who freed slaves...and a man who who is trying to create slaves, it just doesn't work.

History will not be kind to bush, his legacy is, quite simply, the worst president ever.
