- It's a bad administration, but of course these historians will think of Bush being the worst, because he was in their time. They didn't live when Buchannon was president, and they can't really feel the same way people felt when Hoover was president, so it's a little unfair to say that when they didn't go through with those guys.
ccannizz11 rated 4 months ago- I think when bush talks about history looking fondly upon his presidency at some undefined point in the future, he is counting on the idea that those historians will be casting their votes on diebold machines.

- Fuck the theory that historians will look back on this presidency with kindness; here's your proof.
And that business about how we're still yet to see the results/damage of his presidency is BS. Either you're an idiot or your blind. - Fuck the theory that historians will look back on this presidency with kindness; here's your proof.

- From the page: "In an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted over a three-week period through the History News Network, 98.2 percent assessed the presidency of Mr. Bush to be a failure while 1.8 percent classified it as a success."

- This quote hits the nail right on the head, "Glib, contemptuous, ignorant, incurious, a dupe of anyone who humors his deluded belief in his heroic self, he has bankrupted the country with his disastrous war and his tax breaks for the rich, trampled on the Bill of Rights, appointed foxes in every henhouse, compounded the terrorist threat, turned a blind eye to torture and corruption and a looming ecological disaster, and squandered the rest of the world's goodwill. In short, no other president's faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large."

- "As far as history goes and all of these quotes about people trying to guess what the history of the Bush administration is going to be, you know, I take great comfort in knowing that they don't know what they are talking about, because history takes a long time for us to reach."-- George W. Bush, Fox News Sunday, Feb10, 2008 "Douche bag"

- Sure Bush might not have done anything irreparable (I'm sure a few dead soldiers and Iraqis would disagree with that, of course), but he set some pretty nasty precedents. Unconstitutional expansion of executive power, flagrant disobedience of United States law (ex. the Geneva Convention - yes, that's US law, it was ratified by Congress), and a foreign policy that alienated our closest allies and further angered our enemies. Sure we can get out of this, but Bush has left us in a pretty bad place and set some pretty nasty precedents.

- We have yet to see the results of his presidency, and they will probably be fairly average, I don't see any unrepairable long-term damage.
