Worst President Ever = dim son

Leading historians agree on that



George W. Bush is in serious contention for the title of worst ever. In early 2004, an informal survey of
415 historians conducted by the nonpartisan History News Network found that eighty-one percent
considered the Bush administration a "failure." Among those who called Bush a success, many gave Bush
high marks only for his ability to mobilize public support and get Congress to go along with what one
historian called the administration's "pursuit of disastrous policies." In fact, roughly one in ten of those
who called Bush a success was being facetious, rating him only as the best president since Bill Clinton
-- a category in which Bush is the only contestant.

The lopsided decision of historians should give everyone pause.
