50 Reasons You Despised George W. Bush's Presidency

From AlterNet:

The ex-president’s defenders are betting that the public will reconsider their judgments after a hefty dose of historical amnesia. Bush has been absent from political debates in recent years, instead making millions in private speeches. Today, his popularity is even with Obama's; both have 47 percent approval rating.

Yes, the Bush presidential library is now open, and, with it, a propaganda push to restore his reputation as much as possible.  I guess we'll see how that works out.  But reputations aside, W's eight years in office were a total nightmare for the country, whether you think so or not.  We're still in a hole because of him, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, maybe for the rest of my life.  He was easily the worst president this nation has ever had, and we've had some pretty bad ones over the decades.  Incompetence, arrogance, ill informed decision making, psychopathic advisers, all these things working synergistically together to create an enormous mess of the nation's business.  

The founding fathers never in their wildest dreams imagined that the Oval Office would ever be inhabited by his ilk.  I fear the governing structure they created may not be up to the task of reversing the damage he wrought.
