awkward for you

Why's that awkward for me? Despite being in a thread where I was fiercely critical of the Obama administration, you still seem to assume that if you bring up an Obama admin scandal (though Bush as well) vaguely associated with a comment I made, you've got a gotcha? Fast and Furious was deeply wrong and reflective of flaws in our system. It also has pretty much nothing to do with the comments of mine you quoted. Awkward for you, I guess.

Yet another reason history will be kind to Bush whether the Democrats are able to overthrow the Constitution or not.
How many years do you think before W isn't regarded as one of the worst presidents in US history?


Hasn't been the case in the first place. Besides the Second Amendment protection because of conservative appointments on SOCTUS, his economy was relatively good 7 out of 8 years and he fought two morally justifiable wars without increasing the deficit to any great degree. Obama is currently supplanting Carter in the race to the bottom. I predict he'll go lower than FDR and LBJ.

Perhaps you are so solipsistic that you took the word "regarded" to mean "regarded in BCSpace's mind." I had in mind popular concensus and/or routine surveys of historians and political experts. Both of those have W as one of the worst presidents in US history to the extent he rates. FDR generally is considered top 3, though I strongly disagree, and LBJ is generally around the mid teens give or take. I disagree with that too. Bush is regarded as a terrible president. Again, he was the most unpopular president in the history of us being able to measure that concept.

Obama is so similar to Bush that it's hard to imagine them not being grouped closely together on the longview of history, though presently their reputations diverge strongly.

Nice dodge of my posting, by the way. No one expected you to respond, though. Trying to troll on wars and deficits was a pretty poor effort.
