#1 Eric Foner? Figures. He's had BDS for a long time.

#2 BFD.

One of the greatest traits of the french Vth Republic is that each president is worse than the one before him, and make people regret him.
Who could have thought that mitterrand, that awful, cancer-ridden crook, would be seen as a better man than shirak, by contrast?

Current Fearless Leader is yacoub ben shirak.
I let you imagine what it will take for the curse of the Vth to be upholded, and our 2007 president to fail even THAT standard.

The worst US president will be Mensa material, in contrast.

#3 I would bet Mr. Foner would rank Carter as the best ever President, whille maintaining his own personal rating as a failed journalist.

#4 Funny you should mention Carter, PT:

#5 As far as I'm concerned this puts Bush in the same category as jimmuh carter. Pathetic.

#5 "But Polk should be remembered primarily for launching that unprovoked attack on Mexico and seizing one-third of its territory for the United States."

Further evidence for the phrase, "inverted reality based community."

This mini-meme is being fed to most kids studying history these days, but it bears little resemblance to the truth.

Like most of the revisionist crap that the academic left attempts to spread, a la Gramsci, these days.

#6 Johnson, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Richard M. Nixon occupy the bottom rung, and now President Bush is a leading contender to join them.

No Carter?
Well this guy's obviously full of shit...

#7 "worst president" has several meanings:
1) Bush doesn't give a rat's a** about Eric Foner's opinion.
2) Bush doesn't even know who Eric Foner is.
3) Bush doesn't care what the Washington Post thinks.

Therefore George Bush is the worst human being ever.

#8 ...Christ, not THIS sh*t again...Every Republican president that I can remember (that's Nixon on forward) has been proclaimed 'the worst President ever" by one or more Learned Idiots.
Until of course the next Republican president takes office, and then he becomes 'the worst ever'..

#11 FDR was one of the best.
After 4 years in the White House, the US was in a depression.
After 8 years in the White House, the US was in The Great Depression.
After 12 years in the White House, the US was in World War 2.
Phalking brilliant, wasn't he ? His anti-depression policy actually extended the depression by several years. Big brother government, socialism, no workie.
