The Katrina Years

The Katrina Hurricane is metaphor for the incompetence of George W. Bush and all the people who surround him.  “Good job Brownie” could just as easily be “Good job Paulie” for the financial implosion that is now being managed by Henry Paulson.  Let’s not forget Donald Rumsfeld and the great job he did taking us into a war zone that has gone on for seven years.  Then there is the extraordinary debt that our government has now that is growing in the final day of the Bush presidency.

 

We are down to the last 59 days of a storm that will have lasted for eight years.  George W. Bush will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the worst presidents in America’s history.  He is perhaps the very worst.  Just “Google” the words ‘worst American president’ and you will obtain a long list of articles.  Of course we are focused on President Bush but there here have been others who do deserve to be considered in the bottom 10.

 

U. S. News and World Report offered their list of the ten worst presidents but gives its readers the opportunity to provide their own opinions. Not surprising George W. Bush received 71% of all those voting for the worst president.  The History News Network states that in a poll of historians, 61% rated Bush the worst.  I almost forgot about Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter who rated in the worst ten too.

 

I really would like someone to identify one thing that President Bush did that was a success (other than lower taxes for the rich).  I know that many will say that we have not had another attack like 9-11 but is that because of any action taken by this man?  After all entering this country illegally is still very easy and entering legally and staying beyond your appointed departure is still very easy to do.

 

Back when Richard Nixon resigned from office we could not imagine a worse president.  Perhaps George W. Bush will not be the very worst president after all.  He certainly is giving the try for this award his very best effort.
