Is Bush The Worst President of the Last 50 Years?

[jennythereader]

The December 4th episode of Intelligence Squared US asks that very question. It's an interesting debate that I strongly recommend.

[Poll #1335649]

Added: Before the debate started they polled the studio audience. The results were:
65% agreed
17% disagreed
18% were undecided

At the end of the debate they polled the studio audience again. Those results were:
68% agreed
27% disagreed
5% were still undecided

50 years is quite a long time and I really don't have a good enough perspective to say, for sure, he is the worst. I would say he is the worst I have know and from my readings he ranks up there in the top 3.

Yeah, I'd say that over all the only real rivals for all time worst are Grant and Harding.
