I've gone for Nixon...

Dubya, of course..

Bush bashing has been all the rage in the UK since he came to power, basically. I saw a 2007 calander today, consisting of pictures of Dubya and some of his fantastic quotes, like 'Most of our imports now come from abroad' and 'It's certainly a budget. Its got lots of numbers in it'

I can only assume that the US electorate were having a laugh when they voted back in 2000. It's been a great joke, and Bush jr has given us all a few laughs and couple of scares over the last 7 years. I'm gonna miss him when he goes.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

If you look back at Nixon, he actually got quite a few good things done. So that balances out the other crap he pulled. Reagan was also not that good. His economic policies may have worked in the short term, but it set up an inevitable fall. He also cut education to pieces. Andrew Jackson is way up there, and would have taken the number one spot before 2001. George W. Bush has everyone beat. His list of wrongdoing (and even criminal acts) is just too long.

I don't understand why people believe that criticizing their leaders for their mistakes is bashing their country, by the contrary, you criticize your leaders because you love your country and are tired of the mess they may be causing.

People who love their country should be the first ones to oppose to the stupid things politicians normally do in any part of the world and a free country must allow this as a cornerstone of freedom.

Look at Chavez in Venezuela, he's closing in May 2007 the only TV station that dares not to agree with him, I rather see people criticizing with honesty their leaders than people saying nothing for fear or greed even when their basic rights are being attacked .

You have to love your country to dare to criticize your leaders without fear to vengeance, I'm sure that the owners of the Venezuelan TV station being closed love their country more than those who applaud Chavez for fear to loose their investment.

Right on buddy.

It is precisely because I care about my country, that it bothers me to see the government screwing things up so badly.

Normally I wouldn't care about these things, but I'm watching the burial of Gerald Ford which is being played on national television throughout the U.S. right now (and probably elsewhere on CNN). I just think it might show respect for the dead to remove him from the poll for the time being.

I believe the best sign of respect is having him in the poll and notivcing he has no votes against.

The list includes all the Presidents of the last 40 years (Most of them dead) and I believe that the only one who doesn't has a vote is Ford.

It speaks well about him.

EDIT: No, Johnson doesn't have a vote either.

Bush is only a puppet like most of world politicians,there is always someone behind everything,blaming him for something is ridiculous,there is a small elite of men who are manipulating this world...

Btw,the worst to me was Bill Clinton because of what he did to Serbian people ,but again,blaming one man...

I don't go so far, only ask the Chilean Government to give us Fujimori back so we can send him to jail for 20 years and after that send him to Judge Garzón for crimes against humanity (If he survives).

Bush has tipped the scales back towards the Neanderthal. Clinton was an educated class act. Not far from that of John Kennedy. World peace never seemed more possible with such a civilized, intelligent man in charge of the White House. With Clinton, America had a positive and modern course set towards the new millenium...

Now, enter George Bush. Welcome back to the stone age.

I voted "I don't care" though it would be more accurate to say "I don't know" because except for Dubya, I have close to zero insight in what the american presidents have done the last few years.

Aahh, another thread against America. Keep it up and it'll overtake progressive music as the most talked about subject on this site.

I wonder if Daniel Gildenlow has anything to do with this.
