Well, that's all I was looking for. W seems to be getting the brunt of the blame and I'm okay with him getting his, but I haven't seen too many "worst congress ever" threads here or anywhere else I go on the web. Seems a little unbalanced to me.

We should have a worse supreme court judges thread too. For Thomas, Scalia, (late) Renqhuist, et al who put Bush in office in 2000. What an untenable position those conservative judges took. This mess didnt begin in Iraq. Bush has had legitimacy issues from the beginning.

I don't think history is going to be kind to Bush.
History is written by historians, who are of the academic community who are overwhelmingly liberal.
Also, historians glean their information from primary sources - what the books, magazines, and peridocals during a former president's presidency covered at the time.
You can't be anti-education, anti-intellectual, anti-media - and then expect that the people who write history will treat you well.

So now after 8 years it's been decided that Bush wasn't really presidential material.

For chrissakes, that guy wasn't even college material.

In terms of the condition he's left the country in - the buck may well stop at the Oval Office, but he had plenty of help in creating the debacle we're looking at today from BOTH sides of the aisle and every branch of government.

I really want to see if Obama is going to sic the Justice Department on this crew regardless of their affiliation. It will be a game of Whack-a-Mole the likes of which has never been seen if he does. I truly wish him Godspeed but the proof is going to be in the pudding - and I voted for him.

I think of all of the monumental tasks he is going to face, the very biggest is going to be creating the paradigm shift that will have to take place first in order for the government to serve the people rather than the other way around.
