actually hussein was a terrorist before he was a dictator, and depending on your definition while he was in power. his attempts to exterminate whole segments of the population because of a difference in religion, political opinion, and ethnic background would, in my opinion place him in the same catigory as hitler, stalin,and others throughout history who have attempted to oppress and or eliminate those peoples that don't share their own religion, political views or ethnic background.
as for the president i think you know my answer, i also think John Hanson should be on the list.
he was the first president, not under the system in use today, but still first. if the founding fathers found him to be the most qualified then should at the very least make the list.

He did not and I really cannot understand where you got that idea from

A you saying that Saddam Hussein was not a harsh dictator. True we did put him there but that is not Bush's fault.

People - not from North Dakota - realise that the US just can't always butt into other countries problems. That is what has put the US in its current predicament around the world.

Bush didn't give a flying f*ck about the Iraqi's, he was doing it for Cheney and his own pocket.

Are you trying to tell me that Bush somehow made money off of attacking Iraq. I agree that the United States needs to stop being the policemen of the world but Iraq is oor ally. If we did not protect them we would realy have something to be ashamed of. And quit insulting me for being from Noth Dakota.

I don't see how anyone could call jackson the best. He was only good at handling the economy but that does not make up for all the innocent Indians he killed.

I really think you should do some research on Haliburton, then you probably will feel pretty ashamed.

I've heard of it all right. I just don't buy it.

I like your puns.

I can bet that Bush will be remembered much better than the way people think about him right now.

I'm sure Hoover felt the same way.

I'd go with Lincoln first off. I don't think anybody else could have possibly managed the Civil War as well as he did. FDR comes in a close second.

You're a Brit, so you're excused for such a predictable error in judgement.

Lincoln is THE example of how Americans can be easily manipulated and snowed into believing anything. His PR men took his down home workinmanwhomadeitgood image and turned him into an American icon. This is the ass clown who denied the seceding states their constitutional rights and set the stage for Federalism to take over once and for all.

Managed the Civil War? He started the fooking thing. The worst part of it is his hypocrisy on the slavery issue. Here's the wanker who just enacted the Fugitive Slave Act, where you could be hanged for aiding and abetting an escaped slave, and he needs an emotional issue to galvanize the gullible public, so what does he hit on? That's right - slavery becomes the "reason" for the Civil War, and so it remains to this day.

The Constitution of our country gave any of the original 13 colonies the right to secede if they saw fit. The south had been getting a raw deal for years in the finacial spectrum, and finally Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, etc. decided to secede. Lincoln, a Federalist, said f*ck the Constitution, this Union must be preserved. Since then that flag has been the flag of the oppressor, and stands for bullshit. f*ck Lincoln. Thomas Jefferson was the president who did the most to stay America on the course it was meant to be on.

Yes. Truman had even lower approval ratings than Bush when he was in office.

What kind of a question is that.

No it's not true, you can marry her even if she's butt ugly.

Hoover did not have much experience. The Presidency was his first elected office. Bush may not have done a good job at handling the economy but he did a lot for world peace.

Lincoln did not deny their rights. The Civil War started while Abe Lincoln was president-elect during the presidency of James Buchanan. (I might have spelt that wrong.) Lincoln was president through all but the first week or so of the Civil War but James Buchanan was President during the days leading up to the war so he is to blame for making it happen.

LOL wut?

Hoover was a member of the Cabinets of Harding and Coolidge. But yeah, no experience whatsoever.

He was selected to be in the cabinet. The Presidency was his first elected office.

[InkL0sed]

So what? That counts as experience in my book, especially since a lot of people thought he was more influential than both Harding and Coolidge as Commerce Secretary.

That doesen't count for much. Although Hoover did try to do good as President and he did have some good accomplishments but not all that great at handling the economy.

You're insane. 10 years as the most influential man in two administrations doesn't count for much?

Where do you get this garbage from
What on earth did Bush do for World peace except make it more unlikely
