The two most influential women in President George W. Bush's White House — first lady Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — are strongly defending the president's legacy against critics who are calling his administration one of the worst in history.

"I know it's not, and so I don't really feel like I need to respond to people that view it that way," Mrs. Bush said in an interview that aired Sunday. "I think history will judge and we'll see later."

Fuckin' idiots.

He won't go down as the worst president (unless we go into a Depression), but he will be one of the worst.

Worst President in recent memory perhaps but wait until the fallout has settled before judging his Presidency as a whole though.

Maybe not the worst, but he's certainly had the biggest fall...going from having almost all of the international community's support and having a huge approval rating to losing many key allies and one of the lowest approval ratings ever is pretty substantial.

Ha very funny.

Seriously, sitting back and letting AQ attack, misdirecting the resulting sympathy into attacking Iraq, spending into a colossal deficit and letting the financial markets collapse - not sure how he could have done any worse.

Oh yeah, handing the country over to a black man - holy crap!

There have been far worse presidents in the US. Buchanan, Nixon (wasn't a bad politician, but watergate.....), Johnson, Pierce, etc.

I feel sorry for Bush tbh. Everything he did was in good intentions, and I feel he did what he thought was best, he and his advisers just failed.

And the great irony of it all is that he was elected for the opposite - on domestic issues.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

1. AQ planned 911 along with the other attacks that were carried out on Clinton's watch

2. The world agreed with this administration as to the threat posed by Iraq at that time. He was the only one with balls to do something about that perceived threat.

3. The president has nothing to do with the economy. This ball was rolling decades before he too office.

No terror attacks since 911 in the US after several attempts. If there was one, you would be on here bitching about how his initiatives failed and he was a failure and blame him for it. Since his initiatives didn't fail, you will keep your mouth shut and not give him credit for any of it.

You all blamed Bush for the fuckin' weather. Can't wait to see who you blame when it rains on Obama's watch.

1. So since the plans were made before he took office he could just discard the security memos handed to him and not followed up, great reasoning lowing.

2. The world did not agree lowing, remember how the UN did not sanction this invasion?

3. So you basicly blame Bush Sr.?

If Obama ignore information crucial to US security and fail to act upon it you are correct ... we will blame him for it.

LOL
1. The attacks were carried out on Bush's watch, Bush knew they were coming and did nothing.
2. The world didn't agree invasion was the answer, in any case it all turned out to be fabricated bullshit didn't it?
3. Eight years in office and the economy is nothing to do with Bush? LOL.

No, but 5,000+ dead Americans, and 100,000 injured or maimed, what a success.

1. That is not what I said. He was president for 9 months, compared to Clintons 8 years. I give Bush a little more lattiude as to not appreciating the severity of the threats until it was too late. Clinton, ( who you all blame for nothing ) was in a postion to prevent every bit of this.

2. Actually, the world did agree on the threat. It was only those that were in bed with Iraq that didn't agree on doing anything that might hurt their financial interests in the region.

3. All the way back to that weak ass, apologist, Jimmy Carter. His election was the turning point marking the starting decline of the US
