The most "competent" presidents have also been the most sinister. Lincoln, FDR, Truman, Jackson, Wilson, etc...

I would rather have a half-wit like Bush in office. At least he doesn't possess the ability to screw things up too badly.

Huh? You consider having the whole world pissed at us as not screwing things up too badly?

Relative to what others have done, yes.

one of you is pro-government intervention one is not, why do you have to be so god damn bitter.

Newsflash nobody on this board has all the answers, and even with evidence to support theories of government no one here can prove one is "better" so disagree or debate or something, but clearly just calling each other dickheads serves no purpose.

After watching our Presidents speech tonite im very happy that at one time this country had some competent leadership which was able to aquire enough power and security that I should be able to skate through the rest of my life in relative comfort.

Bush has principles and clear policies, it is just that you don't agree with them. But in trying to accomplish those policies he does a good job, especially in prioritizing the various threats facing this country.

The fact of the matter is that the economy is doing well and democrats are still considered by most voters to be weak on defense issues. That means they have no real agenda. There are legitimate criticisms of Bush's governing style, but they pale in contrast to the vaccuum that is the democratic party leadership in Congress.

Truman > Bush41 = the cold war presidents

Clinton = the gap president (lets call him the Neville Chamberlain of US Presidents)

Bush43 > several future presidents = the new cold war (against terror) line of presidents

Like Truman, Bush43 will be more appreciated from a historical view, in his role as first of a line of Presidents who eventually defeated terrorism.

I think waxie should be cut a little slack as it sounds like his understanding of American history comes solely from what he was taught in public school.

Yeah, good thing we elected Nixon and Carter to ensure "competent leadership"
