Rate the Presidents, Installment #43: George W. Bush

[Maxwell]

So despicable even John Ashcroft put his foot down and said enough's enough. Among the worst Presidents in history. Medicare Part D was a clever maneuver to win Florida, his hard rightward shift to sh*t on gay people was utterly despicable, his cabinet appointees were constantly and consistently inept and problematic, and that doesn't even tackle the utter boondoggle that is Iraq, which we are still paying for.

1 Star, certainly bottom five.

[Maxwell]

Probably the worst president in nearly a century and a half. Led us into two failed, costly and pointless wars that disgraced America's global reputation, grossly violated the Geneva Conventions through torture, set up a massive Orwellian surveillance apparatus, was totally incompetent and lost control of his administration to the empire-building neocon lunatics be surrounded himself with, pandered to the Religious Right like no other president, implemented voodoo economics and presided over the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Easy 1 star.

You think he was worse then Hoover

Certainly.

At least Hoover worked his way up to become President.
