Honestly, Bush has enough sense to at least not give the longest inaugural speech in the rain without a coat on.
However, at least that president didn't **** anything up while he was in office.
But that was also because he died less than 6 months into his term.B♭3Comment

Re: Re: Has the current presidential administration doomed our future?
Indeed. Wasn't new to Reagan who is noticeably absent from your list.Originally posted by Ned
Truman: Korea
Kennedy: Bay of Pigs
Johnson: Vietnam
Nixon: Watergate
Ford: Inflation
Carter: The Economy
Clinton: Sex Harrassment and affairs
Bush: Post-invasion dismissal of the Iraqi Army
What's going on now is not new to US presidents.
Guess Nicaragua, Iran-Contra and Lebanon don't really count.
And guess political support of Iraq during their war with Iran and support of the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan didn't end up biting you people in the ass years later...
Wait, I keep forgetting that for some people Reagan is even more infallible than Jesus Christ.A true ally stabs you in the front.

No way Harding was worse. Just as corrupt, sure, but didn't do active harm to the Constitution and its citizenry.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

W is much more like Nixon, except that Nixon had a couple of positive major, lasting achievements.
Or, we could compare him to Buchanan, except that Buchanan's White House wasn't especially corrupt or incompetent.
I guess W really is beyond compare...

Comparing Clinton's personal affairs with GWB's massive mishanding of domestic and international issues.

Actually, according to Wiki's comparison of various presidential rankings, Harding edges out Buchanan. But their explanation for Buchanan's poor showing -- "Failure to avert Civil War; ruined his party; weak leadership" -- might work for another ex-prez in a few years.Originally posted by Victor Galis

Yeah, the Wehrmacht planners then felt they couldn't possibly have worked the invasion of the USA in until 1947. Roosevelt was definitely jumping the gun on WW2.Originally posted by BlackCat
Quite right, but there are also those who thinks that it was Roosevelt that lured US into WWII"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment
