Bush vs. Obama: Who Messed Up the Economy More?
When the economy stalls, many people look for someone high up to blame. Some believe President Bush is more accountable for America’s lackluster growth, even though he’s been out of office for 4 years now. Others believe President Obama is spending America into a hole that we won’t be able to dig our way out of. This debate isn’t new, but the suggesting that 43% of Americans blame Bush for our economic woes, while 14% put Obama at fault.
As America struggles to climb out of recession, who do you think bears the most responsibility for our economic troubles: President Bush or President Obama?

Wait, you actually believe that Obama has only raised the debt by 983 billion? You have no one else to blame for your failure in the finance industry.

They both suck. Congress is the larger problem. The collection of morons whom developed and implemented a quasi-federally supported housing program bare responsibility for much of our current dilemma not the statistics of a presidents term that took years to materialize.

wow excellent list eddie im impressed...I might have Johnson higher up as i consider him worse then Bush Jr. The war he bungled us into cost 50,000 americans vs whatever number we are up to in bush's wars. I also wouldnt have Nixon on the list...he was a corrupt anti-semite but other then that wasnt nearly ass offensive as others such as Bush 1, obama, and clinton. Bottom line is that once reagan discovered that the american people didnt care about deficits every president since has been a disaster.

It all depends on how you view the role of the president...if you believe in a very active executive branch (both in terms of domestic and foreign policy) then the above "historical" (whatever that means) rankings may be right. I see it just the opposite and I think the "best" presidents were the ones that were less active and have less grand "accomlishments" (usually accomplishment = war or increase in size of govt). For eg Lincoln was president when we had a war that killed more americans then all other wars combined and rescinded rights of citizens during that war in ways that were clearly illegal...for this he is the "best" president.
Bush spent more than Clinton
Bush spent more than Clinton and all of the past presidents combined. Plus he gave tax cuts (which I support) aggravating the budget deficit. He also supported TARP and that little pointless war in the middle east.
Obama is on pace to spend more than Bush. Fortunately the divided Congress is not letting Obama get a lot of things done (besides healthcare). For that reason I'd say that Bush was worse.
On a side note, let's finally elect a real fiscal conservative for once. Most of these Republicans are closet socialists who care about irrelevant social issues. Time to elect Ron Paul?

Just curious what the issue is with Abraham Lincoln? The Civil War? If so could that have been avoided?
