"A miserable failure.”
Historians vs. George W. Bush

A recent informal, unscientific survey of historians conducted at my suggestion by George Mason University’s History News Network found that eight in ten historians responding rate the current presidency an overall failure. Twelve percent of all the historians who responded rate the current presidency the worst in all of American history.

"His presidency has been remarkably successful,” one historian declared, “in its pursuit of disastrous policies.”

Another patriotic historian put it, “I think his presidency has been the worst disaster to hit the United States and is bringing our beloved country to financial, economic, and social disaster.”

Then the article gets worse.
