TPM Reader TD gives it to the president straight …
Reading your post on the North Korea about face, and the string of statements from various policy makers on the ISG reportâboth situations which unarguably constitute unmitigated international disastersâit is quite clear that Bushâs status as the worst president in US history is already cemented. I saw a comment from an of-course unnamed administration official a few days ago that theyâre not worried about the presidentâs legacy, give it 50 years or some such, but truly, is any of this going to look better in 50 years?
With the shifting priorities and knowledge of the future it’s never truly possible to know how our descendents will judge us or our time. But, as past history as shown, some presidents just blow. And people can see it no matter how much time goes by. There’s no renaissance of Harding studies. And he didn’t even really break anything or have any epochal catastrophes on his watch.
