Comment: I believe President Bush will be regarded by history as an abject failure. His Vice President is little more than a "white collar criminal"! from MARY ESTHER, FL by don
Comment: I am 71 years old and I think he is the worst President we ever had in my life time. from Pensacola ,FL. by Robert
Comment: As long as our education system and national media is dominated by the left, George Bush will always be subject to derision. To the the Americian military man and the people who die for this country, he is held in much higher regard. from Pensacola, FL by Mike
Comment: Without a doubt the absolute worst thing to happen to the entire world not just America. All those who voted for him the second time shame on you! from P'cola by NeaL
Comment: Historians will place his name at the top of the list of our worst Presidents, thereby moving James Buchanan to #2. from Pensacola by Linda
Comment: President Pierce is rated as the worse president. I feel that President Bush rates lower than President Pierce. by Ted
Comment: He is a failure as a leader of any country, especially one as world important as the USA. from G.B. FL by L.H.
Comment: George W. Bush is a man of conviction and integrity. You did not hear him bad-mouthing those on the other side who wanted him destroyed. He will not lose any sleep over what any poles report his legacy to be. He had little time nor Democratic help in preparing for his presidency and inherited a failing economy and 9-11. In the short time, the media will continue to vilify him but not long into our nation's next experiment, I believe the majority will wish he was still around. He made mistakes but thankfully kept us safe. from Pensacola by Tony
Comment: The last eight years have been a complete "train wreck"! from Pensacola by Ann
Comment: I am a statistic of this administration. Can't find a job, my homes in foreclosure, can't get aid anywhere because we have no kids in the house, and also I remember his dads administration in bad light. This entire administration has spent their time seeing to the needs of the wealthy and ignoring the needs of the working class. No work, no taxes being paid, no social security being paid, no purchasing of goods from local retailers, and no understanding why this administration does not understand the necessity in putting americans back to work. What a joke of us this 8 years has been. from Pensacola, Florida by Connie
Comment: king george finally has left the building! the crusades will finally end! from p'cola fl by h
Comment: In the first place, I don't think that history in the future will be looked upon as it had been the last hundred years or so. Too much commentary such as: what do you need to remember those dates for; or who cares who the President was in 1812. There are already too many folks walking around with "just that kind of cavalier attitude". So, who really knows what the future will hold in store for us? from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom
Comment: JUST REMEMBER HOW MANY ATTACKS WE HAVE HAD AFTER 911. SEE IF ITS CHANGES AND THEN DO A SURVEY ON PRESIDENT BUSH from LILLIAN AL. by RODNEY
Comment: Bush was the 2nd worse(behind Carter), both of whom will be eclipsed in incompetence and corruption by Barrack Hussien Obama. from Pensacola by Mikey
Comment: I believe that history will show that President George Bush has done a remarkable job by keeping America safe by stopping another terrorist attack during his tenure. Protecting the American people is the most important job of a president. from Pensacola,FL by Rosalyne
Comment: President Bush implemented national security where there was none before 9/11 and brought democracy to Iraq. from Pensacola, FL by Betty
Comment: Bush is a criminal, both he and his administration have led us into two illegal wars. What's more is Bin Laden hasn't even been indicted by the FBI due to a lack of evidence against him , yet we are at war because of him? I wish I'd been the one throwing the shoes , I wouldn't have missed. from Milton, FL by phil
Comment: LOOSER. Both he and his father and the Republican Party brought this nation to its knees. It will take Democrats four terms to get the country back on its feet. from CANTONMENT, FL by JOAN
Comment: He entered office without adequate transition and without support from the previous administration. The economy was sinking post Y2K and Internet exuberance. Then we were attacked on 9/11. The education, immigration, and social plans of his 1st term were made secondary to homeland security. Although it's not perfect, we've had no further attacks. The friends of Congress at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were allowed to hyperinflate real estate until its eventual collapse. Dodd and Frank's actions have put our immediate financial future in danger. Our European allies have moved from left to right-center in their recent elections, while provoked by our mass media, we have moved in an opposite direction. A generation from now, Bush's presidency will be seen as a turning point - when the world first faced its global threat from stateless organizations whose aim was and is a worldwide religious war. To date, the actions of the U.S. have stymied their efforts. from Pensacola / Florida by Rick
Comment: Out of touch with everything and his overinflated ego.Severe napoleon complex. Cheney is as crooked as a black snake...and thats that. The saga of the snake and the chicken is over..look at the damage. from Pensacola,Fl by D
Comment: The fact that voters are still alive to express low opinions of Bush is a tribute to the great job he's done protecting this country--and the Truman comparison just shows how fickle voters can be. Remember, the same crowds that cheered Jesus on Palm Sunday wanted to crucify him by Friday. by the way, where's the poll on how history will view Bob solarski as a newscaster? from Pensacola, FL by Faith
