Worst...President....EVER

Bush has stated multiple times that "history will vindicate" his presidency. For that to happen, he will have to wait for at least one new generation of historians.

A survey of his contemporary historians shows they are less than impressed with him. A full 98% chose "failure" when asked if his Presidency was a success or failure. When asked who was the worst president, 61% stated "Bush". In contrast, in 2004, only 12% rated him "worst ever".

“It would be difficult to identify a President who, facing major international and domestic crises, has failed in both as clearly as President Bush,” concluded one respondent. “His domestic policies,” another noted, “have had the cumulative effect of shoring up a semi-permanent aristocracy of capital that dwarfs the aristocracy of land against which the founding fathers rebelled; of encouraging a mindless retreat from science and rationalism; and of crippling the nation’s economic base.”

All in all, it maybe a long time before history books sing Bush's praises, unless the Texas Board of Education selects them all.
