I ran across this article this morning and read it with curiosity. I only quoted one paragraph. At this point in time, 39 of 43 historians ranked him among the five worst presidents. It’s the last line of the paragraph that caught my eye. “…Bush broke the nation’s back on purpose, so he wins points for what we might call a competent incompetency.”

Who’s the worst president of them all?
While I acknowledge that Bush 43 was certainly the worst president I’ve seen in my lifetime (12 presidents have occupied the White House since my birth), he runs neck and neck with Buchanan’s inadequacies as chief executive. Both of them pursued their own agendas: Buchanan hoped to placate the South as the sectional controversy grew worse (and became increasingly more violent) in the late 1850s, while Bush worked assiduously to dismantle the federal government while trying to fit his presidency into his vacation schedule. Buchanan failed to reach his goal; Bush succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. Both presidents handed a broken country on to their successors. But Bush broke the nation’s back on purpose, so he wins points for what we might call a competent incompetency.
Bush sold off parts of GM to China and was paid off by BP and Caused the Deep sea horizon oil rig disaster by ignoring safety violations that Bush had cited BP 6x. Also, what president elects a senator that wants to outsource all the jobs. Also, what president implements a health care bill without first building the infrastructure, thats a complete idiot. also loved how he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabi but refused to Bow to the queen of england.
