PARIS -- President John F. Kennedy was considered a historian because of his book "Profiles in Courage," so he received periodic requests to rate the presidents, those lists that usually begin "1. Lincoln, 2. Washington ..."
But after he actually became president himself, he stopped filling them out.
"No one knows what it's like in this office," he said after being in the job. "Even with poor James Buchanan, you can't understand what he did and why without sitting in his place, looking at the papers that passed on his desk, knowing the people he talked with."
Poor James Buchanan, the 15th president, is generally considered the worst president in history. Ironically, the Pennsylvania Democrat, elected in 1856, was one of the most qualified of the 43 men who have served in the highest office. A lawyer, a self-made man, Buchanan served with some distinction in the House, served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and secretary of state under President James K. Polk. He had a great deal to do with the United States becoming a continental nation -- "Manifest Destiny," war with Mexico, and all that. He was also ambassador to Great Britain and was offered a seat on the Supreme Court three separate times.
But he was a confused, indecisive president, who may have made the Civil War inevitable by trying to appease or negotiate with the South. His most recent biographer, Jean Clark, writing for the prestigious American Presidents Series, concluded this year that his actions probably constituted treason. It also did not help that his administration was as corrupt as any in history, and he was widely believed to be homosexual.
Whatever his sexual preferences, his real failures were in refusing to move after South Carolina announced secession from the Union and attacked Fort Sumter, and in supporting both the legality of the pro-slavery constitution of Kansas and the Supreme Court ruling in the Dred Scott class declaring that escaped slaves were not people but property.
He was the guy who in 1861 passed on the mess to the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln. Buchanan set the standard, a tough record to beat. But there are serious people who believe that George W. Bush will prove to do that, be worse than Buchanan. I have talked with three significant historians in the past few months who would not say it in public, but who are saying privately that Bush will be remembered as the worst of the presidents.
There are some numbers. The History News Network at George Mason University has just polled historians informally on the Bush record. Four hundred and fifteen, about a third of those contacted, answered -- maybe they were all crazed liberals -- making the project as unofficial as it was interesting. These were the results: 338 said they believed Bush was failing, while 77 said he was succeeding. Fifty said they thought he was the worst president ever. Worse than Buchanan.
This is what those historians said -- and it should be noted that some of the criticism about deficit spending and misuse of the military came from self-identified conservatives -- about the Bush record:
He has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;
He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;
He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;
He has repeatedly "misled," to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;
He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign (Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);
He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;
He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;
He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic's oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime.
Quite an indictment. It is, of course, too early to evaluate a president. That, historically, takes decades, and views change over times as results and impact become more obvious. Besides, many of the historians note that however bad Bush seems, they have indeed since worse men around the White House. Some say Buchanan. Many say Vice President Dick Cheney.

Liberal propaganda, tripe and rubbish. The worst president, by far: Bill Clinton. Second worst was U.S. Grant.
Liberal media propaganda is attempting to destroy this nation. Just like it has, with the aid of the education system, destroyed what could have been brilliant minds all over America. At this point, George could discover a cure for cancer and the media would scream about all the health care workers out of work--and liberal robots would stink up the internet with their "amens".
If there is ever another Clinton administration, I hope and pray there will be enough right-thinking Americans left to conduct a civil war.

“George W. Bush's presidency is the pernicious enemy of American freedom, compassion, and community; of world peace; and of life itself as it has evolved for millennia on large sections of the planet. The worst president ever? Let history judge him.”
“This president is unique in his failures.”
And then there was this split ballot, comparing the George W. Bush presidencies failures in distinct areas. The George W. Bush presidency is the worst since:
“In terms of economic damage, Reagan.
In terms of imperialism, T Roosevelt.
In terms of dishonesty in government, Nixon.
In terms of affable incompetence, Harding.
In terms of corruption, Grant.
In terms of general lassitude and cluelessness, Coolidge.
In terms of personal dishonesty, Clinton.
In terms of religious arrogance, Wilson.”

Biggest Presidential enemy of the United States Constitution and way of life: Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Second biggest: Abraham Lincoln
Worst Liar, worst lack of integrity and most recently dangerous to freedom: Bill Clinton
Overall best: Ronald Reagan
It depends, I suppose on WHAT your vision of America is. I hate Communist Totalitarianism, and that is the direction of the liberal Democrat movement. I would rather take my chances and starve as a free man that live in the mamby-pamby politically-correct police state that is a natural destination of Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, et cetera, ad nauseum. Let ME decide what to do with my money and my liberty; give it all to Uncle Sam to redistribute? I think a trip to North Korea or Cuba might change some attitudes.

I wonder why so many people still support a president who has:
· Presided over the loss of approximately three million American jobs in his first two-and-a-half years in office, the worst record since Herbert Hoover.
· Overseen an economy in which the stock market suffered its worst decline in the first two years of any administration since Hoover's.
· Taken, in the wake of the terrorist attacks two years ago, the greatest worldwide outpouring of goodwill the United States has enjoyed at least since World War II and squandered it by insisting on pursuing a foolish go-it-almost-alone invasion of Iraq, thereby transforming almost universal support for the United States into worldwide condemnation. (One historian made this point particularly well: "After inadvertently gaining the sympathies of the world 's citizens when terrorists attacked New York and Washington, Bush has deliberately turned the country into the most hated in the world by a policy of breaking all major international agreements, declaring it our right to invade any country that we wish, proving that he'll manipulate facts to justify anything he wishes to do, and bull-headedly charging into a quagmire.")
· Misled (to use the most charitable word and interpretation) the American public about weapons of mass destruction and supposed ties to Al Qaeda in Iraq and so into a war that has plainly (and entirely predictably) made us less secure, caused a boom in the recruitment of terrorists, is killing American military personnel needlessly, and is threatening to suck up all our available military forces and be a bottomless pit for the money of American taxpayers for years to come.
· Failed to follow through in Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al Qaeda are regrouping, once more increasing the threat to our people.
· Insulted and ridiculed other nations and international organizations and now has to go, hat in hand, to those nations and organizations begging for their assistance.
· Completely miscalculated or failed to plan for the personnel and monetary needs in Iraq after the war, so that he sought and obtained an $87 billion appropriation for Iraq, a sizable chunk of which is going, without competitive bidding to Haliburton, the company formerly headed by his vice president.
· Inherited an annual federal budget surplus of $230 billion and transformed it into a $500+ billion deficit in less than three years. This negative turnaround of three-quarters of a trillion dollars is totally without precedent in our history. The ballooning deficit for fiscal 2004 is rapidly approaching twice the dollar size of the previous record deficit, $290 billion, set in 1992, the last year of the administration of President Bush's father and, at almost 5 percent of GDP, is closing in on the percentage record set by Ronald Reagan in 1986.
· Cut taxes three times, sharply reducing the burden on the rich, reclassified money obtained through stock ownership as more deserving than money earned through work. The idea that dividend income should not be taxed—what might accurately be termed the unearned income tax credit—can be stated succinctly: "If you had to work for your money, we'll tax it; if you didn't have to work for it, you can keep it all."
· Severely curtailed the very American freedoms that our military people are supposed to be fighting to defend. ("The Patriot Act," one of the historians noted, "is the worst since the Alien and Sedition Acts under John Adams.")
· Called upon American armed service people, including Reserve forces, to sacrifice for ever-lengthening tours of duty in a hostile and dangerous environment while he rewards the rich at home with lower taxes and legislative giveaways and gives lucrative no-bid contracts to American corporations linked with the administration.
· Given an opportunity to begin to change the consumption-oriented values of the nation after September 11, 2001, when people were prepared to make a sacrifice for the common good, called instead of Americans to ‘sacrifice' by going out and buying things.
· Proclaimed himself to be a conservative while maintaining that big government should be able to run roughshod over the Bill of Rights, and that the government must have all sorts of secrets from the people, but the people can be allowed no privacy from the government. (As one of the historians said, "this is not a conservative administration; it is a reckless and arrogant one, beholden to a mix of right-wing ideologues, neo-con fanatics, and social Darwinian elitists.")

After 9/11 ANY president would've invaded Afghan, but the difference stops there. A smart president would've used the leverage and sympathy we had post 9/11 and lead a world to root out terrorism.
But Bush wanted his own personal war against Iraq - none of the 9/11 terrorists were Iraqis, yet he want a personal war.
So far almost 2,200 Americans have died, and 10 times that of innocent Iraqis, yet the world is NOT united, this nation is NOT united.
Now I know how Hitler was able to con millions to follow his sick agenda.

George W. Bush will go down in history as America's worst environmental president. In a ferocious three-year attack, the Bush administration has initiated more than 200 major rollbacks of America's environmental laws, weakening the protection of our country's air, water, public lands and wildlife.
Cloaked in meticulously crafted language designed to deceive the public, the administration intends to eliminate the nation's most important environmental laws by the end of the year.
Under the guidance of Republican pollster Frank Luntz, the Bush White House has actively hidden its anti-environmental program behind deceptive rhetoric, telegenic spokespeople, secrecy and the intimidation of scientists and bureaucrats.
The Bush attack was not entirely unexpected. George W. Bush had the grimmest environmental record of any governor during his tenure in Texas. Texas became number one in air and water pollution and in the release of toxic chemicals.
In his six years in Austin, he championed a short-term pollution-based prosperity, which enriched his political contributors and corporate cronies by lowering the quality of life for everyone else.
Now President Bush is set to do the same to America. After three years, his policies are already bearing fruit, diminishing standards of living for millions of Americans.

Lets look at The other Bush Presidency (1989-1993)
George Herbert Walker Bush is one of the prime movers in the New World Order. He is a member of the Order of Skull & Bones at Yale, the CFR, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers. The globalist agenda advanced rapidly during his term in office. One of his first acts was to create Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces (MJTF) composed of members of various federal, state and local organizations to accomplish specific law enforcement tasks, following the task force concept in use in the military forces for many years.
These task forces will be used to do the house-to-house search and seizure raids when martial law is declared and to operate the FEMA detention centers.
In 1989, we were informed of the breakup of the U.S.S.R. and the supposed end of the Cold War. It is true that there was an economic collapse, as must befall all socialistic economies and elimination of the political union but in reality little else has changed.
Communists are still in charge and the military forces are intact and in fact growing. This, as you may recall, is the sixth period of glasnost/perostroika since the Communist revolution in 1917. We are now giving them massive amounts of foreign aid and they are sending troops and equipment to the United States.
On November 8, 1989, President Bush sent Treaty Document 101-6 to Congress. This would authorize the United Nations to collect taxes in the United States.
On December 20, 1989, U.S. troops invaded Panama to capture Manuel Noriega and to overthrow his government. This involved 24,000 U.S. soldiers and an expenditure of $164 million, not to mention Panamanian and U.S. casualties. It was later learned that the real reason for this invasion was that Noriega was putting the squeeze on the banks which were doing the money laundering for the CIA drug trade, of which General Noriega was a key part.
On April 25, 1990, President Bush issued an Executive Order which created the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Its mission is to provide a government-wide intelligence and analytical network to prosecute money laundering and other financial crimes. They are heavily involved in asset seizures.
On November 11, 1990, President Bush issued an Executive Order which allowed United Nations' battle groups into the United States. Many foreign troops have been seen here, predominantly Russians. Iraq invaded Kuwait. President Bush sent U.S. armed forces personnel to neighboring Saudi Arabia on August 7, 1990, in an operation called Desert Shield. Iraq ignored the ultimatum to withdraw from Kuwait.
Operation Desert Storm, also known as the Persian Gulf War, started in January, 1991, with high-tech bombing. A 4-day ground assault in February brought a quick end to the hostilities. 450,000 U.S. military personnel were involved at a cost of $7.4 billion. George Bush was later given a knighthood in the Order of the Bath by Queen Elizabeth II for protecting the interests of British Petroleum Company, which owns most of the oil wells in Kuwait, and which is owned primarily by the Rothschilds.
Congress passed the National Drug and Crime Enforcement Act in 1991. It allows the President to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law.

I believe you to be correct about GHWB. Unfortunately, lots of the training for taking someone's freedom away has been done here in Louisiana. At Fort Polk, there is a mock-up town where joint exercises of US and foreign troops have been held. Secret? They show highlights on local news down there. There is some that I wouldn't feel comfortable listing here; many of you would not believe some of the things that happened here in the bayous. It came close to confrontation several times. Some of the foreign troops managed to get arrested once, and there were rumors of a couple of them dissappearing (supposedly taken by a citizen group). There were the black helicopters, which reasonable people laughed at. I wasn't laughing when one hovered over the top of my house (just after a newspaper published on of my letters against gun control). Strangely, the biggest majority of the activity stopped after Clinton and the Dems lost office. If much of it continues, it has gone quiet.
Yes, the first Bush was a member of Skull and Bones and such. You are, I'm sure, aware that the many of the top guys of both parties are in similar organizations. Here's what I've heard and read: Both sides are intent on removing the Constitution and becoming part of a Global government. The side that pulls the strings of the Republicans is determined to do this long-term, slowly enough to minimize resistance. The side that backed Clinton (made sure he got the Rhodes Scholarship, etc) is tired of waiting. They want to explain away our rights (we "misunderstood" the founding fathers) and cause enough confusion to act now, despite the bloodshed that will follow. That's what Waco, Ruby Ridge and other "compound standoffs" were about. It was a show of force to see what the gun owners would do. Media propaganda was used to the point of blaming the citizen groups by spreading lies and rumors about them. Despite this, citizen groups came together in almost every county to form anything from small cells to outright militia groups. Conservatively, 3 million people were willing to take up arms against Federal tyranny. These groups communicated, gathered intelligence, trained and stored weapons, food, ammo, etc. The Feds infiltrated as much as possible and reported that we could cause considerable trouble. By that time, Clinton was letting his sexual deviancy and other excesses get out of hand. He botched the whole deal, so the powers-behind-the-powers have punished the Democrat party. The bad part is that the cells and groups more or less disbanded, seeing the Democrat setbacks as a lessening of the danger level. In truth, I hope most have maintained their weapons and kept contact. This isn't over with. We've been granted some extra time.
I don't think ALL the politicians are in on this, I think some are just stooges who genuinely think that Socialistic Global Governance would be a good thing. I haven't even mentioned how all this connects with Bible prophecy, if you wish you may look in the book of Daniel, some of the minor prophets and in Revelations. All I know for sure is that the bad activity cooled down in Louisiana as soon as the Democrats fell. For the time being, I'll take my chances with W. Don't be fooled, though, I can be very fickle when crossed. I don't try as hard to judge someone's intent as I do their actions. Bush could be bad. Clinton/Reno proved willing to kill as many as they had to in order to make their point. They established this well.
Remember the siege that the FBI LOST in Louisiana? Bet you didn't hear about it. They like their "victories" to play on CNN (Clinton Nonsense Network) every 15 minutes, but when they lose, you don't hear much about it.

I don't have too much respect for alot of them. For me it kind of started at a young age. As a young kid, I got interested in "politics," unfortunately it was during President Nixon era. Then one day to learn that he had done the Country wrong, a man, a leader I was suppose to look up to. That crushed me and it got me even more interested in politics. Come on what kid wouldn't be interested in a group of people that ran a country and was able to lie, cheat, steal and get away with it? Even kids can recognize corrupt power.
Here is my list of which I think are "some" of the worse Presidents, if anyone cares.
The order is by date of Presidency:
* President Warren Harding - This guy sold our Country to the Corporations to run the Country.
* John F. Kennedy -
* Lyndon B. Johnson - Another Texas joke!
* Richard Nixon - No comment really needed, right?
* Ronald Reagan - Ok I will admit this guy was doing good, the first term maybe. But be for real, Reagan was not running the Country his second term. That Alzheimer's got the best of him, poor guy. His second term they pretty much put a pen in his hand and said please sign this sir. Bush Sr. and Company "CIA," ran the country. The worse bill with Reagan's signature on it, was the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988.
* Bush Sr. - Just another player in the "game."
* Bill Clinton - He's just a player in the "game." Don't be mad at the player.
* Bush Jr. - Why I keep asking? this really just blows my mind. What was in America's water supply? This man had very, very little experience in politics. This guy ran a couple of business to the ground that I saw listed on his resume. I hear Texas wasn't in to good of shape either after he left. He did get lucky once in life on a business adventure, by putting a little money into a baseball team and turning around and making what a 1000% profit from his return? Wow talk about luck and/or friends in high places. The man lied to get us to get us into war "I'm not saying other Presidents didn't' lie, but I'm referring to the current leader of our nation" and he is no doubt in my mind, probably the worse President in history to take away Americans Freedom and Rights with the "Patriot Act." Also the latest, this Christian President wants our Nation to agree to TORTURE!
Ok now you're turn. If I picked a President that struck a nerve with you, tell me something "good" that President did for you, your family and the Country?
I can almost guarantee for every one good thing you say, I will be able to name 10 things that president did to take away our freedom and rights.

Which president visited a farm with the first lady and had this (paraphrased) exchange?
first lady: (looking at rooster chasing chicken) Someone must tell the President about how this rooster pays attention to the hen.
President: Someone should point out to the First lady that the rooster is chasing a different hen each time.
I really don't remember which President did this, but it's a cute story.

Chimpy made his first real money by the exercise of the eminent domain laws all the cons decry so stridently. He was let into the deal with the Rangers with borrowed money and because of his name and for no other reason. This is according to one of the partners quoted in an interview. So, even his one and only "success" wasn't an honest one. The man's a cheerleading fraudulent con-man. His whole history has been one of reliance on contacts, (mostly daddy's rolodex), to bail him out of his failures and to present him with new opportunities to be a paid shill. His incompetence continues to this day. But this time, instead of some rich Saudi, it'll be YOUR kids and grand-kids who'll pay the price. This country, especially the rednecks and Christianistas are getting what they deserve. When enough people finally feel the pain they'll wake up and GW will get the assessment he deserves. Unfortunately, much of his destruction will only really begin to be felt after he leaves office. At which time all these FOXbots will revise history to blame the current (Democratic) president. Or they'll blame it on Clinton. Accountability Administration my ass.

Being the psychopath that he is, he takes credit for things he fails at without even a pause. He brags about the 215,000 jobs that were created, but either doesn't know or doesn't care that a lot of those jobs are low paying jobs in hurricane ravaged areas, jobs that he wanted to allow Haliburton to pay at below living wage rates.
He thinks he has done wonders with the economy by punishing workers and promoting corporate welfare. He is running up huge deficit to support his tax cuts while awaiting a bill which will cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid and college loans while proclaiming himself to be a Christian who talks to God directly. He thinks that if we all work hard we can be just like him, minus the family fortune and connections. He is truly a psychopath in the highest order.
I truly hope all those Republicans who will be running in '06 will warmly embrace him and be photographed holding with the empty suit, at their peril. I think this country is finally starting to think rationally, which is a big problem for a president who feels things and makes decisions on that basis.

"unemployment is low??" Yeah, because ALL the unemployed aren't counted. Once they fall off the unemployment role count, they aren't factored in. That's a disingenuous false rate. "Poverty rates tend to rise about 3 full years after a recession" Sooo, the GOP reduces the poverty program budgets knowing this? How is this defensible? What's your point? More people are poorer as a result of the GOP. THAT is the bottom line.

You are right about the misleading unemployment figures. As I understand it, only new claims for unemployment benefits are counted. BUT that is not new, nor is it a Republican trick. It was done the same way under Clinton.

I hate to burst your bubble, but in '06 I predict a stunning backlash against Democrats for the outrageous, anti-American, unpatriotic vomit that has spewed from their pie-holes lately. Howard Dean will cost you dearly. It would be better for you to now disolve the Democratic Party and form a new one. Psychopath? Which President allowed the Attorney General to send ATF, FBI and military teams against church commutities to surround and kill them. Do you ever wonder why the Davidian complex in Waco was bulldozed before any evidence could be taken? Why were the government's own video tapes NOT allowed as evidence in court when the few surviving Davidians sued? I'd actually prefer a psychopath to a murderous, Communistic rapist in the Whitehouse. I checked on some Halliburton jobs and they actually paid quite well. You do no one any favors by saddling big business with confiscatory tax rates. They only pass them on to the consumer in the form of higher prices, which hurts the economy further. Lower taxes for everyone means better opportunity--period. If I didn't know any better, I'd think some of you have been run through the same brain-washing machine, followed by a thorough course of politically-correct endoctrination. I guess it's a combination of government school and television. Gotta blame it on something...

We are winning the war (DUH?), the economy is great (yet people cannot pay their heating bills, their gas at the pump, lose their jobs, have to accept pay cuts, etc.), our future is bright (after we have paid the deficit) - is there anybody living in reality? Our President obviously is not.
Bush pays journalists to tout his policies without acknowledging it, then when caught, says he doesn't approve of the practice. Then we find he is paying Iraqi newspapers to print stories written by GI's under their bylines, without acknowledging it. Bush has a journalist, actually a guy who ran a website offering his services as a GI gigolo, to have overnights at the White House and be called upon dozens of times to ask questions like, "Why are the Democrats so stupid?" Of course, there are those in the minority who think that the changes in media ownership rules which have allowed companies who have no experience in journalism to buy up media outlets would lend itself to the media being liberally slanted, but they are the uneducated ones who spout slogans like they are well researched prize winning pieces.
Fact is, Bush is a lot like Hitler, his grandfather worked for Hitler, and he loves Nazi slogans like the homeland, and torture. But he is actually much more of a fascist, because he believes that corporations should have all the power, regardless of where they have to set up their operations and how much taxes they should pay. Has Bush ever proposed a tax cut for the middle class?
Let's face it, we will be moving into the Bush recovery, and it will make the "Clinton recovery" seem like a blip, because some day we have to pay back all the money he borrowed from China and others, more than all of the previous presidents combined. More than 42 presidents borrowed, #43 has already topped that. Think about it.

Good day,

I'm in need of some advice I'm writing a speech for President Bush for when he addresses the United Nations soon. This speech is really being pushed from George himself! This isn't really one of my more brilliant lies behind words speeches, that I'm known for.
Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Carl Rove
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for long, long years Stole many man's soul and faith
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me "LUCIFER" 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste
Tell me baby, what's my name Tell me honey, can ya guess my name Tell me baby, what's my name I tell you one time, you're to blame
PS,
Now you see why I write for him? Now if we can just find someone to speak for him.
