Bush's Trifecta
During his two terms has presided over these three superlatives:

- The Greatest Terrorist Attack in American History

- Through neglect, the loss of an entire American city and its subsequent diaspora

- The Greatest loss of financial wealth in American history


Add these to his misbegotten war, his assault on civil liberties and the rule of law, one of the greatest expansions of the Federal government in the modern era and a list of wrong moves so long it makes grown men cry and you have the stuff that legends are made of .

Bush is quite fond of saying that history will determine the quality of his reign...

I think "Worst President Ever" sums it up quite nicely.

Despite all of this, a McCain/Palin term(s) would make Bush's horrific time in office pale in comparison.

It's up to all of us to stop it from happening.

8. When the final accounting is over, suspect not even a distant runner-up will emerge to the tag
"Worst President Ever" and for lagniappe, all those who supported, enabled, aided and abetted, and shilled for will have rightfully gained the honor of having, as a group, the tag "among worst citizens ever" hung forevermore around their collective necks imv. :P

9. And he said this...
"There's no doubt in my mind, when history is written, the final page will say: Victory was achieved by the United States of America for the good of the world."

Bush..Jan 2008

10. "worst president ever" doesn't even do him justice
it makes him sound merely incompetent. he's so much more than just incompetent. he clearly had a different agenda than any previous american president. he simply did not WANT to do right by the country or by the people. he wanted to do right by an extremely narrow group of already wealthy super-donors, throw the republican rank-and-file a few teasers for cover, and screw the rest of the country and the rest of the world.

that's not just incompetence.

it's evil.
