61 percent of the historians say the current presidency is the worst in American history

The First Draft of History Looks a Bit Rough on Bush
By Kenneth T. WalshPosted April 11, 2008
President Bush often argues that history will vindicate him. So he can't be pleased with an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network. It found that 98 percent of them believe that Bush's presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. Not only that, more than 61 percent of the historians say the current presidency is the worst in American history. In 2004, only 11.6 percent of the historians rated Bush's presidency in last place. Among the reasons given for his low ratings: invading Iraq, "tax breaks for the rich," and alienating many nations around the world. Bush supporters counter that professional historians today tend to be liberal and that it's too early to assess how his policies will turn out.
Besides, I have a better name to throw on the pile ..JAMES EARL CARTER, inventor of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
I have a funny feeling that to even pay lip service to the defense of Bush on the principle that history looks different even 50 years later is the fast lane to pink slip land."the idiots posting sutff against jimmy carter are just cia operatives paid to destroy earth"
And I haven't said a word here in defense of Bush, have I?
