The Worst President in History? : Rolling Stone
"The Worst President in History?
One of America's leading historians assesses George W.
Bush
George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for
colossal historical disgrace. Barring a cataclysmic
event on the order of the terrorist attacks of
September 11th, after which the public might rally
around the White House once again, there seems to be
little the administration can do to avoid being ranked
on the lowest tier of U.S. presidents. And that may be
the best-case scenario. Many historians are now
wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as
the very worst president in all of American history.
From time to time, after hours, I kick back with my
colleagues at Princeton to argue idly about which
president really was the worst of them all. For years,
these perennial debates have largely focused on the
same handful of chief executives whom national polls
of historians, from across the ideological and
political spectrum, routinely cite as the bottom of
the presidential barrel. Was the lousiest James
Buchanan, who, confronted with Southern secession in
1860, dithered to a degree that, as his most recent
biographer has said, probably amounted to disloyalty
-- and who handed to his successor, Abraham Lincoln, a
nation already torn asunder? Was it Lincoln's
successor, Andrew Johnson, who actively sided with
former Confederates and undermined Reconstruction?
What about the amiably incompetent Warren G. Harding,
whose administration was fabulously corrupt? Or,
though he has his defenders, Herbert Hoover, who tried
some reforms but remained imprisoned in his own
outmoded individualist ethic and collapsed under the
weight of the stock-market crash of 1929 and the
Depression's onset? The younger historians always put
in a word for Richard M. Nixon, the only American
president forced to resign from office.
Now, though, George W. Bush is in serious contention
for the title of worst ever. In early 2004, an
informal survey of 415 historians conducted by the
nonpartisan History News Network found that eighty-one
percent considered the Bush administration a
"failure." Among those who called Bush a success, many
gave the president high marks only for his ability to
mobilize public support and get Congress to go along
with what one historian called the administration's
"pursuit of disastrous policies." In fact, roughly one
in ten of those who called Bush a success was being
facetious, rating him only as the best president since
Bill Clinton -- a category in which Bush is the only
contestant.".................more (view link)
