It is past time to provide good governance to our once mighty nation. No to 4 more years with McBush.
Republicans have failed miserably

It's not too late to impeach him. Worst president ever.

I thought living through the Bush years was bad enough; seeing it mapped out like this just shows how complacent we've become and how far we've fallen.

I suppose we all have our favorite list of Bushwhacks that we could add to the list, but I am surprised Mother Jones didn't see fit to include Bush's veto of nearly all stem cell research. This was his signature decision for his first year - until 9/11 made everything else seem irrelevant. (Before the stem-cell decision, Bush was mainly known for being the most vacationingist President in history). Just this week, there was an interview with noted researcher Robert Lanza in Discover magazine about the lives and limbs that could have been saved (some by him) if only there wasn't a total lack of funding for stem-cell research. Bush talks about his support for the troops, but I think the chance to have their limbs back, or at least not amputated, would mean a lot more to them. According to Lanza, "...we can use transient, intermediate cellss like hemangioblasts as a toolbox to fix the adult so you don't have to have limbs amputated, so you don't have to go blind, to prevent heart attacks...We found that when we injected these cells into a damaged, ischemic limb, there was an almost 100 percent restoration of blood flow in a month. Before, the limb would have been amputated...As to heart attack, injection of the cells cut the rate in half." As McCain bellies up to the bar to spew his version of the Rovian bag of lies and empty goals with no discernable way to get there, it's worth remembering that the anti-science era we live in began in the 21 century with George W. Bush.

Very nice synopsis of the worst Presidency in history.

I'm saving this link so that I can send it to every a-hole that tells me how wonderful Bush is/was.

Additionally, this is a reminder of what gullible and uninformed the American people, very sad statement.

During the Monica/Clinton gate I said
It's the worst time in my life to live and see our beloved country is changing
this way, but today I can say that what happened back then is nothing by comparison with the present time and the worst still to come.

Why is this information not on the front pages of MSM? If 'Mother Jones' is able to so succinctly post these facts why has this information not been more widely disseminated? I grew up during the cold war & I swear with each day that passes I feel more & more as if I'm living in Communist Russia where the 'free' press is suppressed. What ever happened to investigative journalism?

no profile pic for comment author

You asked what happened to investigative journalism, well, Reporters Without Borders ranks the USA 52nd in the world in press freedom and expresses alarm at the rapid decline in the press freedom, and much of the decline is self-imposed by the media themselves. Even PBS & NPR, the only non-conservative-corporate-owned "press" in the US are wusses and afraid to appear "unpatriotic" if they tell what the Bush Bunch and US is really doing in/to the world. And none of them give any real "world news" (who cares what goes on outside of the US borders?) This administration has literaly attacked the news media as in the deliberate shelling of the hotel in Baghdad that killed a Spanish reporter and wounded others, the bombing (in a residential neighborhood) of the Al Jazeera offices and murder of their reporters for being the only source of what the US forces were really doing inside Iraq and Afghanistan. Then they smeared Al Jazeera in the US press as being anti-US and pro-Al Queda! What absolute lies and the US press (which even at the time was using AJ film coverage, since they weren't even there) has continued this lie. (We now watch Al Jazeera in English and EuroNews exclusively for our nightly news and are very impressed by their professionalism and by the real world news we get ,also a lot less advertising! We also find out more of what is going on inside the US than you'll know by watching the US cheerleader patriot networks). This article didn't list many of the Bush Admin. sinister actions like the deliberate refusal to prosecute sex discrimination cases. The list of abuses by this, the most corrupt administration in history (second only to that other great conservative "small government, family values, morality and character military is all we care about" Reagan) is long and dark. It IS the Evil Empire. (Let's not forget with all the talk about WMD that the US of A is the only country that has ever used them and has made war-profiteering a tenet of government - both dem & gop. The US forces have been using low level nuclear missiles in Iraq and Afghanistan and sickening people with radiation poison - did you know this from watching your patriotic US "news" media? No. Get real and start watching the real news online before it is too late.)
We give thanks every day we now live in a truly free country with a (yes, another lie we we're brainwashed with by the corporate-conservative "news" media/education system in the US) socialist government that promotes equality (we have total equality for gay and lesbian people, including marriage), a quarter of the crime, health care for all, a freer press, government support of art & culture, a refusal to support Bush & Co in their neo-colonialism and a higher quality of life. For those of you who yearn for the hope of a more just and equitable society and feel you'll never see it in the US, come to Europe where there is a social contract even the conservatives don't dare mess too much with.

I can't stop thinking about ice shelves 3X the size of Manhatten floating around in the Arctic Sea. Is it already too late for everything?

All we need is a new immigration policy, anyone who voted for G.W. more than once should be deported to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight, or China or Dubai to work.

I'm sorry to say this, but this lamentable record is the fault and only the fault of the people of the US. While it is true that nobody could foresee the kind of government Bush had in mind back in 2000, by the end of his first term, he was definitely a known criminal. However, the enligthened American public elected him once more. Worse, there are large sectors of the American population that still support him. Even worse, the Republican Party whose stand in the polls should be in the single digits, it is making a fight with even the possibility of winning! What must happen in order for the American people to awake? Should the government turn into a full fledged dictaorship? I think that if this happens, it will be too late although the rest of the world can already see some symptoms of a Big Brother-type of society. By the way American behave politically, it seems they dutifully take their soma every day.

does anyone else feel the urge to spit in his face?

In the summer of 2001 I told my brother, a Republican, at the fountain before the steps of Congress, that history will prove that Bush and his administration as the worst and will bring light the crimes that were and have committed. I just didn't imagine it would be so well known during his presidency. This administration has done it's part in causing great harm to humanity. It's repercussions will be felt for decades. Politically and environmentally. And history will hold this particular administration as a watershed for the suffering of our nation and humanity. At a critical juncture when one path should have been taken they took the opposite path.

And the hits (anagrams, anyone?) just keep on coming! Here's a new report about employees of the Dept. of the Interior taking sex and drugs from oil company representatives:

And yet, the capos of the Cheney-Bush gang are still at large and conducting crime-as-usual because impeachment was pushed off the table.

Another error that Bush has left us, not discussed in this artical. On 911 when Bush was in Florida reading to children, and he was told a second plane has hit the W.T Towers he had a stunned look on his face, a scared look. My first thoughs were Bush suddenly realized all those warnings of using planes to fly into buildings came back into his mind, and he never even bothered to alert any one agency to tighten the security. Even when he was told Bin Ladin planned to attack America. The last PDQ report he recieved on vacation, he ignored, later the CIA Clark had to apologize for Bush's lack of leadership.

Ahh...for the good old days...where's LBJ when you want him...his Vietnam was the Golden Years of Democratic Governing...or was that Truman and Korea...or FDR and WW II...hmmm, they all get mixed up for me sometimes.

Is there ever any mention of anything the Democrats in congress are doing wrong? No doubt Bush is a poor leader but supposedly, according to MoJo, the current poor economy came from Senator Phil Gramm's poor judgement. He was a Senator, not a President. So can we talk about Congress for a little while. Is Barrack Obama gonna make this all go away? I don't think so. Do the American people really want an all Democratic or all Republican governing body, I hope not.

It was the five Supreme Court Justices that elected Bush, not the people. This wretched resume of Bush's eight year reign of America's downfall should be send to the four remaining living justices that elected him in the middle of the night so that it can accompany them to the grave, together with the guilty verdict of the American people.

Where are the protests? Where are the millions of people who will march on the White House .... even more millions who won't report to work in the defense industry? No administration can withstand that kind of disapproval.

I respect your right to have an opinion, but it would help to have an informed opinion versus spouting off what you have heard from others. Here are the facts.

Federal spending for human embryo stem cell research which results in destroying fertile human embryos was stopped in 1995 six years before President Bush took office. The congressional legislation, with an appropriations rider known as the Dickey Amendment, put the freeze on federal funding and was signed by then president Bill Clinton.

President Bush actually relaxed this legislation by allowing federal funding for research involving a limited number of human embryo stem cells on hand as of August 2001.

In addition, President Bush did not try to outlaw human embryo stem cell research. Such research is very much legal in the US. In fact, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent in this country on human embryo stem cell research, funded by private companies, foundations, and state governments.

President Bush, along with many others, believes that human life begins at conception. As such, creating human beings so they may later be destroyed is a very strong moral contradiction.

Check out some references on this topic at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell. With the advent of the Internet, personal research can be accomplished very quickly and save one from making rash and impudent statements.

I have read this list and understand that situations can be spinned many ways. For example, remember the Democrat uprising about the "firing" of nine US attorneys several years after President Bush took office? Sounds really bad, right?

The fact is most appointed Federal officials, including the 93 US attorneys, resign or are asked for their resignations when a new administration comes in to office. This allows the new president to staff these offices with people that he/she believes will help implement his/her policies.

In President Bush’s case, he asked all 93 US attorneys, which were Clinton appointees, to stay on and continue their cases until a formal review was completed. Once this was done, nine were released, which is totally within a president’s prerogative.

In fact, on the day Bill Clinton took office, he “fired” all 93 US attorneys, including the one based in Little Rock, Arkansas, who was investigating various Clinton irregularities in business dealings and use of state police officers for nefarious reasons. He demanded the attorney leave immediately that day and leave all files in the office. Where were the Democrats then?

If you are a registered Democrat, perhaps you should read this for balance: http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Clinton.html

The Bush-Cheney legacy will forever be a [deleted] stain on the pages of this nations history! You can sum up their regard,or lack of,for the laws of this land in three words. Abrogation. Manipulation. Violation. I never thought that I would live to see a presidential election stolen and the two highest offices be occupied by a deserter and a draft dodger. For the past eight years I have been ashamed to be an American in part because most of the country stood by and did nothing to try and make things right. Yet, I think that what pisses me off as much as anything is that those two sons of [deleted]es and their greedy, evil, souless minions are going to get away without being held accountable or
punished for any of their treasonous acts. Impeach hell, hang the bastards!

Jaime,

Before you blame the citizens of the US entirely for GW, look into the vote fraud perpetrated by the Republicans in 2004 in Ohio and Florida.

Hey, this will come back and bite the American people in the behind, they did not learn with Reagen, Bush Sr., and they won't learn with Bush II. Eventually people will go back to watching TV, etc. and the American people will elect another Republican, after Obama, and screw the economy again. Just like Nixon's and Bush's II tax break to the rich. The majority of uniformed and inattentive American people will NOT learn this lesson. That's what makes me upset.

I didn't like him before he became Governor of Texas. He was bailed out of every dry well he ever drilled. All Hat and No Cattle who became the worst President ever. What a tragedy. I only pray that we can rise up from this and bring back the optimism and patriotic pride that makes this country so great.

As a native Texan, Vietnam vet, father, taxpayer, and son in the military, the corruption, lack of concern for PEOPLE in support of his oil baron and corporate friends; Americans should demand an investigation into high crimes against all citizens. He and Cheney should be sent to Guantanamo to hang out for a few years!

Jail for Bush and the criminal republican party that aided, enabled and abetted him.

It feels good to read all your comments and to find evidence that not all US citizens are ignorant brain-washed nationalist fanatics.

Where is our media when all this is going down? Never voted for either Bush as have been on the internet and know the Bush Clan has been scamming since WWII - And they have managed to get away with it all, e.g. Neil responsible for S&L Crash and pardoned by his father, then president. Jeb has many scans going and Neil has presented a software education program he owns to Florida that would cost $30/day for each student if Jeb passes this into FL law. GW always selling stock options that have crippled more than one co. Iraq war started with lies and fear for oil - Bushes in oil business with the Bin Ladens of Saudi-the only ones that could secure a plane out of America on 9/11 while they were guests of daddy boy. The Bush Clan needs to be investigated and tried for the scam artists that they are, succeeding in robbing American taxpayers of billions of dollars that enforce their coffers. Truly Unamerican Bush Clan now responsible along with friend "Dick" for the economic and mortgage crisis we now have to deal with and our children and grandchildren saddled with the bill.
They are a disgrace and should be deported to China.

And my blog has very much been directed at showing just how universal the sentiment has become—that George W. Bush is the worst president ever.

My blog is one of the best places to go to for compiled, online, scholastic research related to Bush’s failed presidency.

Whether one is writing an anti-Bush book report for school or doing research for an anti-Bush book or anti-Bush magazine article or whatever anti-Bush endeavor, my blog contains the ultimate anti-Bush research or educational materials to check out.
