Even worse than Warren G. Harding? For me, the mere thought of it is too traumatic to contemplate! 
Bush seems to have the uncanny ability to totally lack taking responsibility and guilt for his mistakes no matter how large or even catastrophic their consequences. Maybe he just lacks any introspection or, perhaps, he's sociopathic and a megalomanic. He certaintly seems to have surrounded himself with like-minded people.
Perhaps, he is representative of the conservative drift of our society and its possible plunge into reactionaryism or worse. I heard an interview of John Dean on the Dianne Roehm show yesterday. He was distressed about the movement of our society to the right of the political spectrum, called the Bush administration an authortarian one, and expressed worry about the excessive drift toward right-wing politics. He stated that Barry Goldwater--remember that conservative who ran against Kennedy for president--would be considered a liberal today.
