Sixty-two percent of U.S. voters still blame Preznit Privilege for the recession, says the conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports, which sounds kinda Muslin to me.
Among voters not affiliated with either party, 61% say the Bush recession is to blame, versus 28% who say Obama is at fault.
While 94% of liberals and 72% of moderates see the root cause of the economic problems in the recession that began under Bush, conservatives by a much narrower 47% to 35% margin point to Obama’s policies.

Bonus: Just before he left office in January, 57% of Americans said Bush is one of the five worst presidents in U.S. history.
"The Bush Recession." Legacitude!

There's just NO doubt about THIS one! The fucking slowdown/recession/depression -- WTF you want to call it -- was ALREADY STARTED BEFORE Bush left office!! Where can the debate possibly be? And W was in office 8 miserable years - - so how can you even RATIONALLY (a key word here) blame anyone else (except maybe his Repuke buddies who came up with these awful programs?)?? No one made W sign any budget bills (and he certainly wasn't averse to vetoing things, as he aptly demonstrated), and the Dems never had a filibuster-proof Senate, so how-the-fuck could any coherent argument be made that it WASN'T primarily W's policies (or lack thereof) that were at fault??
If certain segments of society want to believe (or obfuscate things by purporting to believe) that up is down, war is peace, love is hate, well... that way lies insanity or chaos.
i honestly cannot think of any other 4 presidents who were anywhere NEAR the arrogant ineptitude of the Bu$h crime family..............
"one of the 5 worst" just seems like nonsense to me.
he is THE WORST, and any other bad ones come in far behind the criminal disaster monkey.
no debate.

Siri: It is debatable as to who in our generation (ie; let's say from 1950-present) was the worst president - - I believe that Robert Parry makes a very good case* that Reagan could be considered the worst. I think the nuance is in the definition of the term 'worst'. Do you judge 'worst' on the basis of their policies OR their personal competency? You can probably say that W was the least COMPETENT (though from some of the things I've read about Reagan, it would be a close race), since he couldn't even put on the phony, smarmy schtick that Reagan did (hell, W had problems with straightforward sentences, much less charming anyone). While Reagan and Nixon were capable of many bad things, to their minor credit they DID accomplish their 'success' pretty much on their own (though Reagan apparently got a lot of help from Nancy's father) - - W was so inept and incapable that he needed the constant intervention of his father & friends to keep him 'failing upward'.
