Mind you Carter did a good job of f-ing things up under his watch.

I think it's time for America to get it's long needed enema.

That's really an insult to spiders.  Tongue

By the way, we humans often underestimate the capability of animals and other life forms.  There was a really good article on animals in National Geographic recently.  I'll see if it's linkable later...

Nixon was not that atrocious as a president until he.. well, we know, Watergate. His paranoia and his insecurity turned him into a disaster.
 
W, on the other hand, is just... a disaster. There's NOTHing, NOTHING that he will be remembered for that is ANY GOOD.
 
But of course, it seems American people's short-term memory is actually shorter than a spider's.... Bush II will probably be elected.. and with him the abysmal VP...

What's really ironic is that Nixon would be considered a liberal by today's "conservatives".

nixon actually accomplished things as president and, overall, id say was a pretty decent president who was chased out by an embarrassing scandal.
Bush is just . . . the depth at which he has tainted America's reputation is astounding. i mean kudos to him, it feels like that was his mission from day one.
mission accomplished.

Bush should be remembered as one of the worst, if not the worst leaders.

Bush by a nose.

Nixon destroyed any faith or trust in our public "leadership" that many post-WWII American youth may have had left after Vietnam.  Our government is not Uncle Sam any more - it's more like that creepy neighbor Sam who stares at your sister too long when she walks by his house, and who causes you to worry about  home and hearth when you're traveling and you know he's still back home lurking next door.

Bush may have actually succeeded in destroying our legacy as a nation by the time all is said and done; largely through his hubris; his lack of sophistication in recognizing the cause-and-effect of most everything going on around him; but mostly by surrounding himself with too many for whom social justice, objective governance, public trust or even basic honesty are considered 'quaint' and 'outdated' concepts.

I was wondering, which of these two catastrophic US presidents will be remembererd as the one having done most damage.
 
Or would you vote for another one?
 
Where's the vomiting smiley for this one?
