"As far as history goes and people trying to guess what the history of the Bush administration is going to be,
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
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.
More than 61 percent of the historians concluded Bush's presidency is the worst in the nation’s history.
One historian said, “It is a bit too early to judge whether Bush's presidency is the worst ever,
though it certainly has a shot to take the title. Without a doubt, it is among the worst.”
