Should George W. Bush go down in history as one of our worst presidents?
By Francis P. Sempa

Woodrow Wilson should go down in history as one of the worst presidents of the United States.  And George W. Bush should be right next to him.

These are not judgments of these historical figures as men — Bush, by all accounts, was the better man than the segregationist, racist, arrogant, uncompromising Wilson.  But history judges leaders not by their attitudes and intentions, but rather by the consequences of their actions and decisions.

Wilson was initially reluctant to get the United States involved in World War I, but once committed to the war, Wilson framed the conflict as a fight between good and evil, when in reality there were good and evil on both sides.  More consequentially, Wilson portrayed the war as a Utopian crusade to "make the world safe for democracy," while at home Wilson acted as an autocrat and despot, prosecuting political opponents and suppressing civil liberties.  At the peace conference, Wilson's arrogant approach antagonized even our allies, while his inability to brook opposition at home doomed the League of Nations to irrelevance.

There have been worse, but he turned out to be pretty damned mediocre.

Worst Republican POTUS in my lifetime.  I'll grant that.

We seem to have had more lousy presidents than good ones.  **nononono*

The worst Republican President is still head and shoulders above the best Democrat President.  Welcome to the 21st Century....

True, and I'm thankful we didn't have President Gore, but GW seems to have spent every waking moment since he left office digging the hole to bury any good things he may have accomplished so deep they will forever be overshadowed by his pandering to illegals and the democrat party.

... worst GOP President of my lifetime.  He expanded government, got us into 2 nation building campaigns, and he socialized private sector loss.  Plus, he almost choked on a pretzel.

Biden has taken the honor and prestige of being the worst Democratic President on my lifetime away from Jimmy Carter.  Jimmy Carter would have killed to have the energy project opportunities that Biden is cancelling.

For sure, but G. W. Bush remains the biggest political disappointment of my life.
