Bush approval rating at 33%

Since when are the best actions/ideas the most popular? Since never. This thread seems to be about a statistic, which brings to mind the ubiquitous bell curve. If you are in the majority, like minded with the many, in agreement with the masses, then you are average, mediocre, far from the best.

Nothing wrong with being average, most people are. Funny thing is about 95% of people think they are above average. Intelligence is marked by having some grasp on what it is one doesn’t know. The idiot knows it all.

As I read the opinions expressed here, I am struck by the confidence and absolute certainty with which they are delivered. I can’t decide if you guys are blessed with extraordinary cognitive abilities, privy to the most secret of information, able to spend countless hours deciphering the vast complexity of geopolitics, or just a bunch of goofballs…But I stray from the subject at hand.

Worst president ever? Time will tell, distance will illuminate, history will judge.

Saddam did attempt to assasinate a US president however and Carter did give back the Panama Canal about 20 years early.

James Buchanan must be considered the worst US President thus far, as the country fell apart around him.


Of the 20th century, I consider Calvin Coolidge the worst, as the economic policy of his time directly caused the Great Depression (although Hoover gets the blame).

Of recent times, Reagan was the worst in my opinion.  Truth is, we haven't had better than a mediocre president for a very long time--at least since Truman.

You have just shot any semblance of credibility you had hoped to have in the foot.


No one will ever take you seriously ever again.

Multitudes of people love Reagan because he put on a happy face and acted all confident and stuff.  I see beyond the smiling face.  Charisma alone doesn't make a good leader, although it does often make for good polls.

I suspect that as citizens of a democracy, we are just scrutinizing the performance of our elected leader.  We could just not care for most of 4 years, then show up in November (all 30% of us, or however many voted in 2004) and just punch one of those buttons w/o really caring who did what or what they say they will do.  

And I am a goofball :D

One day we will find the WMD in Iraq that brought down the WTC.  Shortly thereafter Osama bin Hussein will be removed from power in Iran thus preventing Lebanon from continuing it's uranium enrichment program.

Pardon me if I'm confused...it's all the same place. :)

I was taking a drink of iced tea.... now I have to clean my monitor.

Reagan?  Care to enlighten all of us on why you choose him as the worse?
