  I dont trust Barack Obama. I dont trust Hillary Clinton. I dont trust John McCain.

  Not a whole lot of choice, is there? We are stuck with people raising hundreds of millions of dollars jetting across the country on campaigns for a primary not even an election.... wasting thousands upon thousands of gallons of fuel and polluting the air with their exhaust fumes (both literal and proverbial) to tell us what? Nothing we havent heard before and promises that we have heard before and promises that will be broken....SSDD

  I think I would vote for Obama just to get the Republicans out of the White House....no other reason... if I bother to vote.

  whenever Bush opens his mouth, we get a lot of this:

  Naw....that would be Jimmy Carter....Bush Jr is the most hated in the last hundred years...

  Carter went into the White House without any working knowledge on how to work with the Congress and the Senate. He was stonewalled every step of the way. I also tend to believe that Presidents get way to much credit for when things go good, and way to much blame for when things go bad.
  
  There are things that Bush Jr. has been a part of that are 100% his responsibility, mainly the Iraq war. He went out every day and sold it to the American people. He was active and vocal in calling the nation to support war on Iraq.
  
  This country was plunged into an unnecessary war. Rather than looking at containment for rouge states, Bush foolishly thought he could bring about regime change which entered into 'nation building', something that has proven track record for not working. Eventually even hard hitting conservatives like Bill Buckley and George Will have seen this as a mark on our country.

  Bush is undoubtedly the worst president of the USA - EVER!!!

  Honestly, since you didn't live under EVERY American president, you cannot come to that conclusion. The funny part of the whole thing, is while many of you look at the president and point fingers, you REALLY should be looking at the congress and senate. Warlock

  you REALLY should be looking at the congress and senate.

  Couldn't be more right. A President unwilling to show any restraint and a congress going along every step of the way.

  I think congress went along with him out of fear. As English-challenged and seemingly simple-minded as he is, GWB has that ineffable fear-inspiring quality about him. His pure petulance and complete lack of any self-doubt makes him a nearly impossible foe. The polar opposite of Carter I guess. Nobody feared Jimmy, everybody feared Georgie. Oh, and then there's that Rove character too...one of the all-time tactical geniuses, and a 100% loyal and rabid pit bull in fighting for his master's cause, and he served as the model of the sort of highly aggressive and brutally tactical ideologue for others who would want to serve. There's some people that you just can't fight; you have to just wait for them to go away or hope that they are thwarted by some other means.
