IS GEORGE BUSH THE WORST PRESIDENT -- EVER?

Points against him:

He has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;

He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;

He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;

He has repeatedly "misled," to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;

He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign (Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);

He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;

He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;

He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic's oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime.

He's already put into law subsidies for alternative fuel research. And I'm not sure how finalizing emissions-reduction agreements with other countries, especially those exempted from the worthless Kyoto treaty, equates to destroying the environment.

Catching bin Laden is neither here nor there at this point. True, getting him alive would be a public relations boon, and might yield some useful intelligence, but he can't exactly be an effective leader with thousands of people ready to blow him to bits if he ever drops a clue as to his position. If he's even alive, that is. Killing and capturing those actually fighting, such as those blowing shit up in Iraq, and continuing to take measures against regimes that support and harbor Islamist terror, like Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia (although we could stand do to more there) will be much more effective.
