I assume you mean Bush.
Yeah, all he did was keep us safe after 09/11 when every terrorist expert in the world said we'd be attacked again. He routed Al Queda from their safe haven, and he brought an end to a monster of a dictator in Iraq. Bush also lowered taxes for every single American (despite liberal lies that the tax cuts were only for the wealthy), helped senior citizens save $ on prescription drugs.
The economy grew like crazy under his watch, until the subprime mortgage crisis exploded. Was that his fault? I don't see how...
Anything else? Oh yeah. He also is credited with saving 1.2
MILLION lives in Africa.
Bush's AIDS Treatment Program Saved 1.2 Million Lives In Africa
The liberal media sure didn't report this, and Bush didn't brag about it (not his style), but the man did more to help AIDS victims in Africa than any other human being on the planet. In a fair world, Bush would have won the Nobel Peace Prize. In this country, he gets called a racist.
Bush made some huge mistakes (Katrina, spending too much). Worst ever? Tell that to generations and generations of Africans that will live because of him.
He also had the grace to not endlessly blame his predecessor for everything that ever went wrong, and he had the grace to never demonize those who disagreed with him. Hell. he gave a presidential achievement award to Barbars Streisand, who hated Bush's guts. He didn't care, he just liked her music. Does Obama have that kind of class?
Worst ever? Hardly. Remember Jimmy Carter??
