So was he the worst president of all time?
>>60620418
One of them, yes.
He was just dumb, but presidents are not the real rulers.
>>60620418
no he was mid tier
>>60620493
>dumb
>believing the media persona
Probably smarter then anyone on this site
>>60620418
Not anywhere close.
I'd say Zachery Taylor is up there, just because it boggles my mind how he even got elected.
His presidency started the decline and eventual fall of the GOP.
>>60620585
Fuck off, Canada
>>60620418
Without a doubt, there is really no one else even coming close. Arguably Buchanan, Pierce, Grant, Harding come close in being terrible, but Dubya will always be bottom 5 and history will remember him as an abysmal failure.

>throwing a baseball is the same as leading the strongest country in the world
Thanks asshole, you're the reason our economy was shit for 7 years and ISIS exists.
>he's the kind of guy that I could sit down and have a beer with!
Thanks for reminding me that universal suffrage was a really bad idea

t. John Oliver
>>60620585
Well considering he spoke English worse than most illegal wetbacks I can't possibly believe that.
>>60620655
Reagan sowed the seeds
>>60620785
Seconded
So, 13 years later....
Why did the US invade Iraq again? Was it those gosh darn DUBYAEMDEEZ that evil, Saran incarnated Sad "doesn't give a" dam Hussein?
>>60620819
>let me tell you about your country
George W. Bush did to our country's reputation what autistic edgy 14yo maplenigger posters on /int/ did to yours.
But I digress, go kill yourself in the shower

>but Dubya will always be bottom 5 and history will remember him as an abysmal failure.
Historians disagree with you neither Obama nor >>60620418
Is the worst.
>>60620993
It hasn't even been 8 years since Dubya and Obama's term isn't even over. I'm talking in like 20, 30, 40, 100 years. He will always be the lower bound for leadership, intelligence and presidential legacy
To be fair, O and W are not even the worst of all time.
>>60620989
He was below-average, but not bottom 44
>>60620848
>Reagan sowed the seeds
Nixon, really. Just about every boneheaded thing the GOP has done, was done by somebody from Nixon's circle. Reagan too, no doubt, but Nixon's the patient zero here.
>>60620906
I should tell you about your country, Americans are very uninformed. George Bush gained huge influence in Africa through aid and his christianity side.
>inb4 shitholes in Africa
the ME is a shithole with oil
>>60620418
Don't forget about his father
>>60621160
>Federal Reserve Act
>Got the US involved into WW1 when he originally claimed he didn't want to get involved and used it as part of his platform while running
>Sedition Act of 1918 (can't criticize gov't)
>Large inflation during his era
>US entry of WW2 paved way for allies winning, which paved the way to WW2 due to Treaty of Versailles
>Progressive
Also, Harding wasn't terrible, below average, sure, but not the worst. He governed during during a decent economic era and inherited shit. Teapot Dome scandal did implicate people in his cabinet, but not him in particular.
>>60620418
No.
The chimp is.
William Henry Harrison died after 32 days in office.
Actually, that might make him one of the best presidents because he couldn't fuck much up in a month.

>>60620905
Iraqi defectors implied that Saddam had WMD's in the form of Nuclear weapons. He was basically hated by every country by that point and this gave the UN the perfect excuse to invade Iraq.

You mean the US. You had no mandate from the UN
>>60621584
He had pneumonia the entire time old dumb ass gave a 4 hour inaugural speech in the rain. He certainly wins for most idiotic
>>60622139
The UN helped cover up the fact that the US and Europe had been the ones who helped supply Saddam with weapons.Look up Tony Blair's memoirs, the US and UK had been planning the invasion for years and this was their golden opportunity.
>>60622355
>4 hour inaugural speech in the rain
Okay yeah, fuck that guy.
>>60620493
falling for the Bush was an idiot meme. He sucked donkey dick at public speaking and had a very narrow black and white world view but he was apparently very intelligent and quick to grasp whatever he was being briefed on.
>>60620418
Three shit presidents in a row.
>>60620807
>economy shit for 7 years.
You mean 2008-present?
>>60622781
This. He wasn't cut out to be a leader but he wasn't an idiot. He was a talented writer and loved art, but he didn't have the skills to be a President of one of the worlds most powerful countries during a major crises. He stated himself that he often was embarrassed by his speeches after the fact and would call his dad a lot to vent his frustrations and ask him for advice.
Still, bad president, but not an idiot.

American education
>>60623131
It's only been 7 years since June 11th 2008.
If his plan was to shut down a dictator to strengthen terrorism and decimate the European peoples in tge long run, then he was a genius and a great actor.
Otherwise he was a fucking idiot that happened to break the world.
>>60623493
America emerged relatively stronger because of Bush.

>Clinton and Obama
>shit
>>60620418
No, Obama is far worse and he fucked up the country more than the top 5 worst presidents combined. It's going to take at least 2 decades of a redpilled leader to undue his damage
>>60620418
no, that's LBJ

Probably not, that one most likely goes to the string of republican presidents that lead up to the Great Depression.
No.

Really makes you think
>>60621352
His father was a pretty good president. I guess bloodline and all the bullshit alike aren't really true.

I think it was pretty much the lefties making a lot of noise, more than usual.
Look at Obama's foreign policy, he not only literally copied GWBs policy, but sent far more drones out there than ever, and a lot of "accidents" have happened.
But Obama is a saint who received a Nobel price for being black.

The post-2008 economic crisis world has been significantly better for America.
Our GDP/world GDP ratio has actually stopped falling.
We weakened the EU by creating an instable Middle East.
We weakened Russia by creating an instable Middle East and Bush expanding NATO to its border.
We weakened China by letting it gorge on our debt and become addicted to our import market.
We weakened Japan by the same way as China.
>>60625569
Democrats are Republicans that follow opinion polls.
>>60625739
Obama has basically ruined US/UK relations. Trump will fix it if he's elected, Hillary will just drive us further apart.
It's a sad state of affairs when we turn to the Chinks, it shouldn't be this way...
>>60625778
>post-2008
... And you're under the impression this is all thanks to Bush..?
>>60625932
The policies that caused this change all occurred in the 2004-2009 period.
The effects != the causes.
Government foreign and economic policy decisions usually take years to take effect.
>>60625932
Has there been any difference between Obama and Bush's foreign policy?

And all it cost us was the middle class, a few trillion dollars in bailouts to the banks, our international reputation, New Orleans and the WTC.
