A Pew Research Center poll released last week found that the share of the American public that approves of President George W. Bush has dropped to a new low of 28 percent.

An unscientific poll of professional historians completed the same week produced results far worse for a president clinging to the hope that history will someday take a kinder view of his presidency than does contemporary public opinion.

Just look at that defective, smiling half-wit... proud that he's the bestest at being the worstest.

That Jeebus voice in the wall is still reassuring him that, decades from now, we'll all see the error of our ways... and the virtue in killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.

I'd have to agree ~ Bush is the worst, most dangerous and most ignorant President the U.S.A. has ever had!!!

Don't get it. Bush has separated church and state in his actions, per liberal request.

Celebrate your victory.

By stuffing the Justice Department with wide-eyed graduates of Pat Robertson's Regent University?

Does the name Monica "I take the Fifth" Goodling raise your drooping eyelids?

Seperation of church and state was in effect long before bush came to office. The tools and programs that bush used to have his way were set up by previous administrations.
Bush did not walk in off the streets.., he and his cohorts have masterfully SET up our system of government, to serve the purpose that is unfolding as we sit.
Bush (only gets a Capital at beginng of sentence) is the expression and example of what is in store under the "New World Order".., obedience and enslavement....

The only hope I see, at the moment, is that I'm wrong....

maybe they should send him to the front line, and let him see for himself how great the SURGE is working

If Bush is the worst president ever, then the current citizenry that makes up this country is the "worst" group of people to ever make up this country. I have no problem with that - it actually sounds about right.

it would make sense if he'd been voted in. You seem to forget the Diebold factor though (now Premier Election Systems).

His Legacy will be one of corruption, death, and lies. He's mastered all these things very well, and the american people , and the people around the world will never forget what he's done.

Correction: LIBERAL historians....

But ya gotta love the disclaimer up front. "An UNSCIENTIFIC poll..."

At least they admit their agenda up front. A good reason to ignore them altogether. True historians know that time brings a much clearer perspective than the chanting crowd.

I read the article and it did NOT say LIBERAL historians. I bet you couldn't read through the truth of it because it created such dissonance in your mind that you couldn't read the words.

From the intro: The participants are self-selected, although participation was open to all historians. Among those who responded are several of the nation"s most respected historians, including Pulitzer and Bancroft Prize winners.

Favorite sample: "No individual president can compare to the second Bush," wrote one. "Glib, contemptuous, ignorant, incurious, a dupe of anyone who humors his deluded belief in his heroic self, he has bankrupted the country with his disastrous war and his tax breaks for the rich, trampled on the Bill of Rights, appointed foxes in every henhouse, compounded the terrorist threat, turned a blind eye to torture and corruption and a looming ecological disaster, and squandered the rest of the world"s goodwill. In short, no other president"s faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large."

scroll back up, look at his face, and tell me you do not want to see him impeached.
who are we as a country but those people who WOULD impeach a president such as this one.
i believe Clinton was so frivolously impeached, (BY REPUBLICAN MAJORITY) and i do not think that a succesive impeachment of a truly impeachable president will seem imbalanced to the world.

The House and Senate during his first and first half of his second term deserve the same type of recognition. And the people who elected them were the enablers.
