This is your own opinion. I personelly think the only president to date to have done as bad of a job as Bush is Nixon. IMO, there has never been a worse president.

And you show how little you know of politics. Scandal aside, Nixon was a GREAT president. He is almost universally excepted as one of the brightest presidents in US history.

The Scandal is what I was refering to. Being considered an intelligent president does not make one a successful president.

People killed because of Hitler:
Jews - Between 4,778,677 and 6,017,760
Others (handicaps, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents, etc.) - ~ 5,000,000
Total - ~11,000,000 (some estimates as high as 26,000,000)
With millions more tortured.
Why?: ....failure to fall into the "Aryan" ideal....
People killed in Iraq/Afghan war:
Total - >20,000
Why?: War on terror, and removing dictator (which should have been done a little over 10 years ago with when deaths would have been much less).
I'm sorry, there's no comparison.

Scandal does not make a president bad.
It's been three decades since President Richard M. Nixon was taped in the White House delivering anti-Semetic rants on how Jews are the scourge of our nation, why we should nuke Vietnam and how that infamous photo of a naked, 9-year-old girl fleeing a napalm attack was actually a fake.

Was Clinton a bad president because he got head? No (he was bad because of his actions as president).
Why don't you elaborate on how poorly Nixon performed in visits to Moscow and Beijing in 1972?
Clinton.. was prosecuted for possibly lying during his trial.
Next, it IS automatically illegal to be part of a criminal operation. Nixion was part of the breaking and entering operation done on Democratic offices at the Watergate Hotel.

i apologize, that was a bit of an overstatement.
however, i find that idealism only works on paper and in the movies. in the real world, you're a lot better off with adamant pessimism and a pair of quality wool socks.

HAHA! Compare him to Stalin all you want. He isnt president. But, by comparing Kerry to Stalin, you are accepting the comparison of Bush to Hitler. Bush, who happens to be the president (not Kerry) is who the thread is about. But, since you want to make other obviouse comparisons.........
You completely missed my point, which is called "irony".
My point is also that my few words about Kerry = Stalin used more logic and brainpower than all the ATS threads about Bush and Hitler combined.
