How will future generations refer to Bush? (Poll)

[Cyrano]

Washington is usually referred to as "The father of our country." Lincoln is ofter referred to as "Honest Abe," or "The great emancipator."

Assuming our country -- and the rest of the world -- survives the madman currently in the Oval Office, how do you think future generations will refer to him?

[Swamp Rat]

1. "Worst President Ever."

[wryter2000]

6. Bingo

That's what I'll call him for the rest of my life. Unless, God forbid, the R's manage to foist someone worse on us. :scared:

[RobertSeattle]

8. My favorite graphic (from bartcop)

[endarkenment]

10. Exactly

Also quite possibly: last president of the former republic of the USA.

[bleever]

15. "The Texas Chainsaw Administration"

:scared:

[pnorman]

16. I like that one!

My own suggestion would have been "Bush, the Body Bag President", but I'll gladly yield to yours!

pnorman

[BlooInBloo]

21. What was the OP thinking to not include that?

[mcscajun]

30. That's what got my vote...and I'm confident history will back us up

on that assessment.

[LibDemAlways]

2. The moronic idiot puppet who stole the WH twice.

[Kahuna]

5. Ditto.

[Xipe Totec]

3. King George the Turd n/t

[bryant69]

4. The Greatest American Hero

Of course earth is going to be invaded in 2012 by evil robotic hordes who will give Bush credit for having weakened Earth enough that they could invade. The members of the resistance will refer to him as a "scum bucket" or "frikin' moron."

7. "Lying Criminal Bush Bastard"

[Initech]

9. Pretend like he didnt exist.

Just like what the Soviets did to the Nazis, I hope we do the same to the Republican party.

[nam78_two]

11. Man without a conscience (or for that matter brain)/nt

[YOY]

12. "The Killer of Reaganism"

By prooving that their BS does not work and that they cannot rule a weak economy by scaring the public into voting for them while letting corporations walk all over us.

[depakid]

14. Reagan won't be viewed any better

Once the propaganda fades and historians see the trends that his administration started, he'll be reviled right up there besides Bush. Of that I have no question.

[YOY]

24. "But, but, but he defeated the Soviets..."

That idiotic mantra will be repeated as long as Limbaugh and other RW pundits have breath in their lungs.

Of course speaking as an American who speaks and has lived 4 years in Russia and Eastern Europe, is married to an Eastern European, and has studied post and pre-1990 Russia/Eastern Europe I can say without a doubt that "The Soviets defeated the Soviets and we should learn from their mistake." but hell, what do I know. :crazy:

[depakid]

37. History will record that it wasn't Reagan at all

as the propaganda fades and scholarship takes over in a new contest.

The Soviets were finally taken out by the cheap oil glut of the 80's, which was both a happenstance of the North Sea and the North Slope oild fields coming on line and Sheik Yamani's "brilliant" decision to keep the West oil dependent- and discourage conservation by pewrsuading OPEC to keeep oil prices artificially low.

As a consequence, the USSR lost tons of hard cash from its it major export, which along with an ill conceived war, collapsed the crony economic system.

Historians will draw parellels to that and the impending troubles the US faces- and will not be able to avoid at this point, thatnks to Republican policies

[YOY]

40. There's a little more to it than just that

The post-Stalin era of the 'Greedy Old Men' and the true corruption of the party as natural resources were exploited and technological advancements were not used to improve every day life.

Combine it with poor infrastructure, agricultural programs that actual returned less than they did with almost every year, a system of industrial and construction goals that met state met quotas by abusing the quality and even type of product/structure made...

Not to mention the complete lack of free speech and some hella bad human rights records...

Some of the connections are a little scary to what is happening here.

Also, they did not rely on petroleum any where near the consuption levels of the US. Coal however was big and still is: can you say "polution all over!" Most Russians did not own a Lada or Moskvich as production did not really mean to keep up with demand...my father-in-law has one that's nearly 30 years old...runs like a top...a very rusty slow top.

[MrModerate]

13. "Among the worst American presidents . . ."

Along with Buchanan, A. Johnson, and Hoover.

[liberalmuse]

17. 'Bush' will replace 'Fuck' as a popular curse.

I think Bush will also be known as 'The Worst President Ever!!!'

[Graybeard]

18. Miserable failure....

With a tip of the cap to Dick Gebhardt who got it right even
back then about this miserable failure.

[newyawker99]

32. Hi Graybeard!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[corkhead]

19. maybe like a former Italian leader?

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Ersatz Adolf

The Junior Fuhrer!

[ecstatic]

22. I think "Bush" will be a curse word in future generations

A shortened version of BULLSHIT

[morgan2]

23. The American Facist hopefully

more likely similar to Reagan, but less favorably. Some loving him, some hating him.

Worst case, the start of anything, because anything continuing from him will be horrible.
examples, the man who started ww3, the start of 50 years of republican rule, the rise of american facist.

[Rocknrule]

25. It'll be like in that "Road to Europe" Family Guy episode

When foreign tourists are reading pamphlets about America, they'll say "Uh, why is there a big gap between 2000 and 2008?"

[beyurslf]

26. "1st and only Prez ever removed form office and sent to prison."

[Retired AF Dem]

27. Truthfully

who knows?
Since most of us will be gone who really cares?

[Javaman]

28. Right wing slut. nt

[damntexdem]

29. Dubya and the Bushistas.

Or, if the Dems can take Congress in 06, maybe Bush will be: "Dubya 0-for-Seven."

[stepnw1f]

31. Mr. Macacca (nt)

[TahitiNut]

33. "From Fortitude To Forty Turd - the Presidency in the New Millenium"

:evilgrin:

[liberal1973]

34. How about just

Mr.dumbf!ck. That works for me.

[Jed Dilligan]

35. Sadly, I think he'll be "remembered" as

part of a series of lackluster leaders, hard to tell apart, all in various proportions arrogant, incompetent, sadistic, and vengeful, who presided over the fall of America. Look at Rome or any Chinese dynasty for an example. His name won't go down in history, he'll just be one of those crappy 21st century presidents.

[Lefty-Taylor]

36. President Sociopath n/t

[porphyrian]

38. Fucking piece of shit traitor? - n/t

[guinivere]

39. George the Barbarian.

Although that probably insults your more discriminating barbarians.

[MazeRat7]

41. A Magnificent Failure.

[Buzz Clik]

42. From the left: Chimp. Shrub. Dummya.

From the right: God's Annointed. The Second Coming of Christ. The Decider.

[Earth_First]

43. Other: The Ministry of Truth will have expunged 2000-2008 slowly...

but surely. :tinfoilhat:
