I don’t know if I’m being whooshed by the above, but to my eye, you probably believe you’ve just posted something at least mildly amusing. Just in case you’re harboring the notion that there is a grain of “it’s-funny-because-it’s-true” validity in your witticism, I am posting, free of charge a link to the actual enumeration of offenses. The sharp-eyed observer will note that this thread did not make the cut.
That maniacal laughter was with reference to the “vomit on the keyboard” remark almost 100 posts ago. That’s the first time I ever used “quick reply”. . . and the last time I will do so.
Indeed!
History’s not going to be kind to this turkey. I’m betting that by 2050, historians will point to GWB as the main reason this century isn’t a second American century.
Can we have Nixon back?? I’d take him over Bush in a heartbeat.
And now I’m wondering if Bush will go down as one of the bottom five Presidents of the last 100 years. Hell, I’m wondering if it’s even possible to find four other candidates who’d outrank him for suckitude.
(Insert predictable “Hillary Clinton” reply from one of the Usual Idiots™.)
I always cringe when I hear someone tout Regan as a truly awesome president while failing to note, to at least note, that while his insane military spend-a-thon (which, I give him credit, actually worked, whether he meant it to in that way or not) he was silent on the problem of AIDS. We could be in a far different situation as both a country and the world had his policy been different.
As I’ve said in many Dubya-bashing posts, it goes way beyond any political ideologies. Sure, I’m a liberal and personally I did not like Reagan but at least he acted presidential, he spoke well and he didn’t make you embarassed that he was president of your country. To use rjung’s vernacular, “Dubya” Bush does rank extremely high in his degree of “suckitude”.
That’s true; Reagan didn’t get embarassing until near the end of his second term. Bush has been embarassing since Day 1 (“nooclear”).
FDR got us in the hole on Social Security to start out with. Johnson got us toasted in Vietnam. Clinton dishonored the office of the Presidency more than any 5 others I can think of. Carter was an incompetent dweeb from day one. Etc., etc.
And you call them the top 100? No wonder people who have the ability to reason know that liberals are clueless.
You honestly believe that Clinton dishonored the office of the Presidency more than Nixon all by himself? What a strange opinion you have.
Social Security has kept tens (hundreds, possibly) of millions of old people out of poverty. Before Social Security, for most people, being old meant being poor. You worked until you dropped, and because you were old, you didn’t even make very much while you did that. Now most old people live decent lives.
I consider that a tradeoff well worth my payroll taxes. Sorry you don’t.
I don’t know if you support the Iraq war, but if so, it’s a funny thing for you to be criticizing.
Suffice it to say that the Republicans of the time were at least as eager as the Democrats to fight that particular war, and the one that got the honor of taking it over in midstream found it just as unwinnable as Johnson did. And as unwinnable as Bush would find the Iraq war, if his aides weren’t afraid to give him bad news.
Yeah, he lied about a blowjob. Too bad he didn’t lie about something honorable, like whether Saddam was about to get nukes.
I’m not a fan of the Carter presidency, but I fail to see how anything Carter did remotely compares with the damage Bush is doing to this country.
Do go on.
The funny thing is, you’re the one who’s calling them the top 100, not BobLibDem.

I certainly agree with you on that one. Democracy is not based on the “what about me” principle. Yes, we have to pay taxes for everybody’s needs and not just your own. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes stated “taxes are the price we pay for civilization”. Sorry clothahump. Civilized society comes with a price tag.
It seems to me that clothahump is the ‘clueless’ one (to use his vernacular).
He also stated:*

Yes, that is a good one !!! 
Our current President is one of those conservatible types and his ‘eloquence’ speaks volumes about his abilitude to thinkify and analyticize complex world issues and arrive at well-thought and clearly defined solutionables. :rolleyes:
FDR got us in the hole on SS? I didn’t think that SS got close to being “in the hole” tell the early 80’s, some 35 years after FDR went to meet his commander and chief.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Those of you who think Johnson was a bad president purely because of Vietnam need to take a trip to the LBJ Library in Austin and see the long wall of social and civil rights policies he introduced. There are hundreds of them, without which life would be a lot tougher for a lot of Americans. It’s a real eye-opener.
We are, after all, in the profession of fighting ignorance. That fight should always start at home.
The current President will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the worst five Presidents ever…
Well, out of all the ones we’ve had so far. It’s entirely possible we’ll just keep getting worse and worse ones.
If that’s the case, Bush will likely go down in history as one of the last five Presidents ever…
I’m stealing this for a sig. That’s wisdom for the ages.
No probs. Any chance I can have credit for it in the sig though please? I think that may be my first decent contribution in 330 posts - it could be quite a while before the next one… 
Your wish is my command.
A soldier’s Mom gets it in one. Unfortunately, her son’s no longer with us:
Chickenhawk response? What else? Rah rah! USA #1!
Wait a minute … he was in an unarmored Hummer, he was apparently not wearing a helmet or body armor, and yet it took multiple bullets and rocket-propelled grenades to kill him?!?
Man, that kid had more hit points than half the monsters in DOOM !
