President Carter - inept.

[royfromaus]

We need a YouGov poll on this.

WeGov, YouSenate?

I have now looked up the Poll and it is the worst President since WWII, not of all time.

The results of the Quinnipiac Poll are a bit all over the place.

- According to them, Reagan was the best US President since WWII with  a 35% vote, JFK got just 15%.

- Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, 39 percent of voters say, while 40 percent say he is worse. 

- The survey was of 1,446 voters (in a country of 318million).

I certainly don't think Obama has lived up to the pre-election hopes of his supporters, but who could? It is very hard to bring about change in a country with such die-hard attitudes to healthcare and gun control.

I loved dubya, anyone who can get the lefties foaming at the mouth so much must be doing something right!

/anyone who can get the lefties foaming at the mouth so much must be doing something right! /

not necessarily; they might just be doing things that are stupid, criminal or self-serving

so 'loving' someone on that basis does display irrational and questionable judgement LOL

[maggiebee]

Disagree - Nixon and George W spring to mind before Obama.

mikey: "TTT... is it a coincidence that both Clinton and Obama are both democrats, that leads you to your view ? Both elected twice in a row as well...so all those Americans were wrong, four times ? " - on that basis then GWB was elected twice and induced much lefty angst, were the US electorate wrong? No of course not, the electorate cannot ever be wrong, they elect who they elect end of!

[woofgang]

serious answer. I think its too early to say. His actions and his legacy will have to be evaluated historically to give a valid answer.

I suspect that the families of all the dead soldiers who gave up their lives so that Haliburton could get a foothold in the Middle East, might view George W Bush in a slightly different light.

" No of course not, the electorate cannot ever be wrong, they elect who they elect end of!"

Do you seriously believe the electorate is never wrong? People make stupid decisions en masse quite regularly - I don't see why elections are immune.

[ToraToraTora]

All I'm saying is that whatever we may think the winner is the choice of the voters, it makes no sense to suggest the electorate are right or wrong, they simply elect politicians under whatever system it is.

SP, of all the US presidents why do you single out just one who sent men to war?

[sp1814]

TTT

The point of AOG's question is to gauge what we think...not to critique those who were polled.

I single out GWB because out of all American presidents who sent me. To war, he stands out as being one who sold the world a massive lie.

Also, I believe that President Bush will go down in history as being the one American President who left office with the world a significantly more dangerous place than when he started.
