I live in San Diego. Its going to be interesting to see how it pans out. I might have to move. I just don't know where too. John
Bush is the worst American president ever. Look up his poll numbers. No one has been so unpopular. He is a Republican that spent more money than any other president. He also supported TARP. He invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 nor they they have weapons of mass destruction. His vice-president acts like a tough guy but was defered from fighting in the military four times. Bush himself defered from Vietnam by joining the Texas air guard. Look up all the cronyism between Kenneth Lay and Enron, Halliburtion receiving contracts in the middle-east and the Carlyle Group. His administration was a joke. The world has become more dangerous after Bush's "War on Terror"

Bush is third lowest, at 25% (10/3-5/2008, 10/10-12/08, 10/31-11/2/08 -- during the Late 2000s recession). Jimmy Carter is fourth lowest, with 28% (6/29-7/2/79 -- during the Iran hostage crisis and ensuing Operation Eagle Claw).

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090215...king_presidents Lincoln ranked best president by historians WASHINGTON â Just days after the nation honored the 200th anniversary of his birth, 65 historians ranked Abraham Lincoln as the nation's best president. Former President George W. Bush, who left office last month, was ranked 36th out of the 42 men who had been chief executive by the end of 2008, according to a survey conducted by the cable channel C-SPAN. Bush scored lowest in international relations, where he was ranked 41st, and in economic management, where he was ranked 40th. His highest ranking, 24th, was in the category of pursuing equal justice for all. He was ranked 25th in crisis leadership and vision and agenda setting. In contrast, Lincoln was ranked in the top three in each of the 10 categories evaluated by participants. In C-SPAN's only other ranking of presidents, in 2000, former President Bill Clinton jumped six spots from No. 21 to 15. Other recent presidents moved positions as well: Ronald Reagan advanced from No. 11 to 10, George H.W. Bush rose from No. 20 to 18 and Jimmy Carter fell from No. 22 to 25. This movement illustrates that presidential reputations are influenced by present-day concerns, said survey adviser and participant Edna Medford. "Today's concerns shape our views of the past, be it in the area of foreign policy, managing the economy or human rights," Medford said in a statement. After Lincoln, the academics rated George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman as the best leaders overall. The same five received top spots in the 2000 survey, although Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt swapped spots this year. Rated worst overall were James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison and Warren G. Harding. The survey was conducted in December and January. Participants ranked each president on a scale of one, "not effective" to 10, "very effective," on a list of 10 leadership qualities including relations with Congress, public persuasion and moral authority.

The economy was stellar by any means of measurement for years.. the press neglected to mention that... forty percent of respondents to a poll said we were in a depression... LOL The attacks were allowed because Clinton made rules that the FBI and CIA could not talk to each other..... LOL All these constitutional rights we supposedly lost... how come nobody is complaining?? Because nobody's been bothered by Feds, that's why. Want to see rights trampled check out Branch Davidian and the children burned alive by Clintons and the FBI... Democrats are trying to make it illegal [or have they, I don't know] for me to say that queer culture is disease ridden.. a simple statement of fact.. how 'bout that First Amendment there grand Bush hater... they support the War On Drugs which took away my fourth amendment, War on Poverty which has stolen more money than can be imagined from productive people and funneled it into ghettos of DemoVoters for sixty years.. and poverty is all over the place and getting worse.. and we are supposed to hate Bush? Get a life you mindless clown... Friggin' Obama can't even pull up a birth cert and he never was in the military.. what a great choice to lead the free world...
