Scott Horton has written an article for Harpers.org entitled Worst. President. Ever. Apparently, historians were surveyed and that is the conclusion they arrived at. Check out the article for graphs and great quotes. This is one of my favorites:
“No individual president can compare to the second Bush,” wrote one. “Glib, contemptuous, ignorant, incurious, a dupe of anyone who humors his deluded belief in his heroic self, he has bankrupted the country with his disastrous war and his tax breaks for the rich, trampled on the Bill of Rights, appointed foxes in every henhouse, compounded the terrorist threat, turned a blind eye to torture and corruption and a looming ecological disaster, and squandered the rest of the world’s goodwill. In short, no other president’s faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large.”
It's good to see that those who record history may record this disastrous presidency accurately.
