What comes to mind is that Harding, Buchanan, and Grant were probably worse than Bush in the incompetence department, and Adams was much worse in the despotism department (the Alien and Sedition Acts put the Patriot Act to shame), and the pretenses for Polk's war were even flimsier than the pretenses for the Iraq war, etc., but the thing is that none of them was president of a superpower.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

EL freako.. el dumbo. You are the one guillible by falling into the left wing spin machine. You mismanage your economies.. the French, Germans and Russians have done deals with Saddam after the 1991 Gulf war when sanctions were imposed.. you were bribed billions. In fact I'm going to make one more charge, I believe peace activist groups were bribed by Saddam Hussein.
BTW, I can back myself up. Tarqiq Aziz named a bunch of people his boss Saddam bribed.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.

From the way I see it.. you guys on the left are probably involved with this corruption.
"U.S. officials say Aziz already has implicated the French and others, claiming payoffs were made with the understanding that recipients would support Iraq on key matters before the U.N.
"He pointed to specific individuals in Russia and France, in the United States — that received favorable treatment," says David Kay.
Now, sources tell NBC News that Aziz has indicated he's finally ready to talk about alleged bribes to U.N. officials. U.N. investigators refuse to comment."For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

You mismanage your economies.
Our incomes have still risen, relative to the US, over the last decade.
Our employment has grown much faster, relative to our working-age-population.
Productivity growth has been a bit faster than in the US.
We have not relied on foreign central banks to finance our consumption.

So, the unemployment rate is more important than average income growth, productivity growth, employment growth and the health of international and public finances then?Originally posted by Giancarlo
You must look at the current day situation. The US has less unemployment then most of the nations in the EU. The US economy is stronger.
That seems a rather narrow definition of economic prosperity to me. (it would also mean that Mexico was more prosperous than America by your definition)
You also have to ask yourself how much of the difference in unemployment rates (which are anyways only the difference between two much larger numbers - those employed and the workforce) have been flattered in the US's favor by the rapid workforce growth in europe and the very sluggish growth of the workforce in the US.
Why has the US has seen only a 1.7% rise in employment over the last 4 years compared to the EU15's 2.9%
And why the US's workforce grew 0.7% slower than it's population whilst the EU15's grew 1.6% faster.
The reason, of course, is that the EU's labour market has been improving much more rapidly than the US's.
