President Bush: well-meaning dolt or nefarious Benedict Arnold?

President George W. Bush, like his daddy before him, is well-known for his malapropisms, to whit: "Rarely is the question asked, "Is our children learning?", "They misunderestimated me.", among many others. The question then is begged: is he truly an imbécile that means well or is he using them to try to cover up more ulterior motives, as Good Ol' Georgie would never mean to screw us over? As you will see, I'm inclined to ascribe to him the latter explanation. Simply put, he DID go to Yale, so even with Daddy's money, he couldn't have been an absolute dolt, not to also mention that even a true idiot would know that a) you don't solve a deficit with tax cuts, b) you don't solve a deficit by increasing expenditures, c) you REALLY don't solve a deficit by combining both a and b, and d) to tell the American people that Saddam Hussein had "weapons of mass destruction" when the CIA told him 2 MONTHS prior NOT to use that piece of flimsy 'intelligence'.

So you tell me: is he a well-meaning dolt or a nefarious Bendict Arnold, just another Vidkun Quisling? I steadfastly believe we will have in the next 5-10 years, another Great Depression and one day, generations from now, be it our kids, our grandkids, or even our great-grandkids will be taught that George W. Bush was the WORST ever president of the United States of America.

The 5 least effective presidents of US history

5) James Garfield, only lasted 81 days until he was assassinated.
4) William Henry Harrison, barely lasted 40 days before dying, ostensibly of pneumonia, though many modern-day historians believe he was poisoned.
3) Ulysses S. Grant, scandal-ridden presidency that made Richard Milhous Nixon look like a saint in comparison.
2) Warren G. Harding, even more scandal-ridden presidency, often blamed (rightly or wrongly) for the Great Depression.
1) George W. Bush, will be blamed for the next Great Depression which will hit us in the next 5-10 years due to his idiotic tax cuts, even more idiotic "economic stimulus" checks, and incredulously most idiotic financing of a war in Iraq based on faulty intelligence.

How sad is it that Garfield and Harrison, neither of whom lasted 3 months in the White House did more good for the United States than a moron who was never actually elected, stole not one but TWO elections, and then falsely claimed he had a "mandate" from the American populace?

You tell me.
