My opinion? Harding, Buchanan, Nixon, even Reagan and Bush 1 are nowhere near the evil and banal incompetence of this administration. And many who have been around longer than me agree. Enjoy - I think.

Guest Opinion

by Donald Kaul

There are those who say George W. Bush did a good job responding to Hurricane Katrina and the foul-ups weren’t his fault.

These are the same people who, if Mr. Bush were to nominate his dog Barney to the Supreme Court, would praise the president for attempting to bring real diversity to the court.

I don’t say the New Orleans fiasco was all Mr. Bush’s fault – there’s plenty of blame to go around – or that he should have been down there before the storm helping people onto buses. But he is, hard as it is for some of us to accept, the President of the United States and if the buck doesn’t stop with him, where does it go?

2. Buchanan was a statesman and very competent

But a terrible president. Bush is far worse than all. Not even close.

3. Worst President Ever. I knew he was bad but now I believe he is the worst.

4. Harding deserves his bad rating
but it should be noted that in one regard he actually was pretty good. He was ahead of his time in terms of race.
