The worst President so far was listed as James Buchanan, the 15th President, but some historians are saying that the current commander-in-chief may be able to take that prize in history, edging Buchanan up a notch.
The historians look at Bush's record:
"He has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;
"He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;
"He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;
"He has repeatedly "misled," to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;
"He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign ( Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);
"He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;
"He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;
"He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic's oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime."
