Historians vs. George W. Bush
http://hnn.us/articles/5019.html

excerpt:
My assessment is that George W. Bush’s record on running up debt to burden our children is the worst since Ronald Reagan; his record on government surveillance of citizens is the worst since Richard Nixon; his record on foreign-military policy has gotten us into the worst foreign mess we’ve been in since Lyndon Johnson sank us into Vietnam; his economic record is the worst since Herbert Hoover; his record of tax favoritism for the rich is the worst since Calvin Coolidge; his record of trampling on civil liberties is the worst since Woodrow Wilson. How far back in our history would we need to go to find a presidency as disastrous for this country as that of George W. Bush has been thus far? My own vote went to the administration of James Buchanan, who warmed the president’s chair while the union disintegrated in 1860-61.

1. How much you wanna bet he'll be the second pre-Civil War pres?
I don't see either the left or the right extending too many olive branches these days. Maybe it'll be fought along economic lines......

2. Your list of worsts since is right on target: worst ever by a landslide
in my book for there is no comparison since no one has been so wrong on all the major issues and solely to reward patrons and otherwise implement a far-hard-right-PNAC ideology. Nothing is done because it is the right, er correct, thing to do for America, for this this Republic, for we the people, for liberty and freedom.
