Reply To: Who was the worst President of your lifetime?

George W. Bush was the worst in my lifetime, despite being a good man. The Iraq War was the worst mistake of his presidency, but by no means the only mistake. Allowing Feddie and Fannie to help perpetuate the housing bubble, creating new entitlements and running up the debt, and the Patriot Act are additional misguided, albeit well-intentioned, Bush errors.
