Subject: Worst President in history?
(The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor.
Please forward to all on your list as this will put things in perspective:)

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war.
They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was
the worst president in U.S. history.
Let's clear up one point: President Bush didn't start the war on terror. Try to
remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From
1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked
us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.

Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost,
an average of 5,800 per year.

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never
attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did
nothing.
Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. Over 2,900 lives lost on 9/11.

In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two
countries, rushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in
Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, captured a terrorist who
slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while
not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

Worst president in history? Come on!

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...It took
less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian
compound. That was a 51 day operation.
We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than
it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the
Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his
Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!

Our military is GREAT! PASS IT ON.

Well, I'm not into politics. I found this on another website and posted it just because people are always talking about Bush and I think he deserves better respect than that as our President. I don't know anything about that though.

Why do you hate America? The United States is the only country in the world that literally almost everyone else is trying to flee into. The United States offers education for all, a Democratic Government, and many other great things. I realize that there are downsides, but everything has downsides. In the case of the US, the good out way the bad by far.

That was a very good article, and I agree with it.

We've had so many presidents, I couldn't tell you. We had Washington who couldn't tell a lie, Clinton who couldn't tell the truth, and now Bush who really can't tell the difference.

Why should he have apologized to the world? He didn't do those things. Its like asking you to apologize to your family because I broke a dish here where I am.

Do lots of people notice that alot of hate is coming from Europe (No offense to some Europeans) Such as France, some of the UK, Germany, and so on.

Let me ask you this... Were we fools when we went and saved Europe from Mass Domination from Adolph Hitler? The war on Iraq is the same thing.
