Has anyone in recent history caused so many so much misery as George W. Bush. It appears that he will go down in history as the absolute worst president EVER. It seems it was all to make the wealthy many times more wealthy.Comments Please

• Actually, Kerry WAS that bad. I'd hate to think what would have happed with him charge of this country. At least bush has not allowed terror attacks on this country. There was a method to the madness in Iraq. With all the terrorists concentrating their efforts there, we have been safe. While his Halliburton buddies managed to screw up our street cred with the Iraqi people, notice that the oil companies have not gotten a single drop of free oil out of the deal.

• They haven't, but i don't think that iraq has had anything to do with terrorist attacks, that was the Saudis... I haven't found any method other than "I am a war president, when I make decisions i make them with war in my mind"

• Sometimes I think he spun a Coke bottle to determine which country to attack. It's not like it really matters, they're ALL crazy over there. Seriously, Saddam did have WMD's, he was just smart enough to ship them out to Syria and Palestine while playing footsie with those UN inspectors.

• You (not personaly of course but as a nation) sold them the WMDs, and you have them too! You have more nukes than any middle eastern country... You have NO higher ground on this one, at all, and you shouldn't even say "they're ALL crazy over there" either, because that is an unfounded statement that shows your prejudice which in turn makes what you say less believable because of the fact that George W Bush is your elected leader...

• Which is why I followed up with a serious statement. Sorry you didn't catch the irony. We haven't been given a rational choice for a President in decades. It's really quite frustrating.

• The people mostly wanted him to react to the attacks also, you can't say we didn't want him to and the approval poles at that time showed it-we also have a system that he had to go through to go to war..and guess what-even most of our democrats gave him permission to do so-I am not saying he was a good president, but once he got in there he had no choice but to stay..its just as much our fault.

• Any leader is the most likely target for any malcontent in the 'rank & file'. It may not be too popular an opinion but I think we attribute too much influence to the office. I really can't believe that he alone made any unilateral decisions about anything at all in eight years. How much blame can one attribute under the circumstances? But I also think that history will prove his administration to be a corrupt one.

• Worse. The 70's and 90's were the two worst post-World War II decades in this area. Businesses moved out in droves, and layoffs were rampant. In contrast, during the 80's and in this decade (with the exception of the slump immediately after 9/11), it was exactly the opposite. Over the last five years or so, there's been a building boom in this town, with a hotel, any number of remodeling projects on historical buildings, and even a new office building going up as I type. I may not agree with everything GWB has done, but he has been good for the local economy. (And no, I do not live in Crawford, Texas.)

• Western New York state. Used to be a big furniture manufacturing area, but that pretty much ended in the late 70's. Retirement homes have been big business over the last twenty years or so...
