Hindsight is 20/1,000,000

Completely bungled the attacks on 9/11.  Managed to mishandle the only war America has fought since WWII that was necessary.  Got us involved in a second war by using false information, a war which eventually became an even bigger disaster than Vietnam.  Turning a blind eye to torture that destroyed our reputation.  Didn't pay for either war and we paid a steep price with our eventual economic collapse.  Watched over a thousand Americans die in a hurricane in New Orleans that his administration also completely botched.  Presided over the worst recession in American history, as financial disasters go, only the Great Depression was worse.  Watched helplessly as the housing bubble popped and destroyed the one equity that average Americans actually have that's worth anything.

All that, and yet, as of today, George W. Bush has a positive approval rating from the American people for his years in office, 49% to 46%.  For a man who will most likely go down as one of the three worst Presidents in U. S. History.

I'd say something about those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, but a mere six years after the most corrupt President in U. S. history was forced to resign from office we elected another republican who began the never ending economic downward spiral that the working men and women of this country have been sucking on for the last thirty years.

Word of warning:  hold onto your wallets, folks.

Peace,
