Is George Bush the worst president in U.S. history?  email this discussion to a friend?

What do you think? According to the report below he has borrowed more money than all 42 previous presidents combined, a hefty $1.05 trillion.

President Bush and the current administration have borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous 42 presidents combined, a group of conservative to moderate Democrats said Friday.

Blue Dog Coalition, which describes itself as a group "focused on fiscal responsibility," called the administration's borrowing practices "astounding."

According to the Treasury Department, from 1776-2000, the first 224 years of U.S. history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions, but in the past four years alone, the Bush administration borrowed $1.05 trillion.

"The seriousness of this rapid and increasing financial vulnerability of our country can hardly be overstated," said Rep. John Tanner (D-Tenn.), a leader of the Blue Dog Coalition and member of the House Ways and Means Committee.

"The financial mismanagement of our country by the Bush Administration should be of concern to all Americans, regardless of political persuasion," said Tanner in a press release.

Earlier this year, the Blue Dog Coalition unveiled a 12-step plan to "cure" the nation's "addiction to deficit spending." It included requiring all federal agencies to pass clean audits, a balanced budget, and the establishment of a rainy day fund for use in emergencies specifically a natural disaster.

"No American political leadership has ever willfully and deliberately mortgaged our country to foreign interests in the manner we have witnessed over the past four years," said Tanner. "If this recklessness is not stopped, I truly believe our economic freedom as American citizens is in great jeopardy."

I've always liked President Bush and I still do and in my opinion he is doing the best he can to run the country for the good of all Americans and to stop terrorism. He had no idea what would happen by making the choices he made. I don't want to pick fights with anyone. I've always had this belief and you asked.

I see George Bush's reelection to President ship as the death of democracy in America.His policies were that of oppression and nothing else.

After thinking about everything President Bush has done.. Their is no good or bad president.. Ok reason why I say this is because each president we have has to make our country work.. Rather it's go to war or help the needy.. So rather he used 1.05 trillion dollars there must have been a reason for it.. How ever he's been in office for awhile and it's not like he used it on one week.. So over all each president is one of their own and we shouldn't judge them for that.. Just my oppion!!

OK first off I want to say I like that people stand behind what they believe in, But i'm getting tired of all these people who like bush. What are you blind? Do you now see all the people who die for no reason? I stand behind the troops just to let you know, but i dont stand behind bush or the war. He has put us in debt, he is to worried about some other country while our country is going down. we use to be one of the best countrys but now other countrys look down on us. Why? Bush. Bridges are falling down and we spend our money on a war with no cause. we have been fighting for almost 8 years with no outcome. Congressman Ron Paul said that as soon as bush got in office he was wanting to fight Iraq way before 9/11. I think that we need to stay out of other peoples business and worry about our own. If they want to be free (which most of them like to be muslims so they like how there country is) then they need to fight there own battles. We just made it worse than what it was before we ever went over there. We made it worse over there and we made our country worse. Killing thousands of people in both countrys for what. Bush has passed 800+ laws since being in office. hum what does more laws mean less freedom. Ron Paul wants to restore america back to the consitution. Anyways A police man told me that the consitution was made for the president to protect us from the states, but now the states are protecting us from the president. They are also told to throw away any laws given to them by bush. Those laws are all void. So hearing that the states have to protect us from our president, do the people out there that like bush still like him? We need to stand as a people and stop this nonsence that is happing to us. Do you like to be controlled? I dont. I want all freedom even if i dont agree with some things like prostition, some drugs. they should still be legal if people wnat to hurt themselves let them. Impeach Bush now www.impeachbush.org vote for someone who is for the people and has stood by his word since the beginging of his congress years www.ronpaul2008.com check out my myspace page www.myspace.com/libertarianfreedom4ever

Well in my lifetime I'd have to say that Bush is the worst U.S. president ever. I don't know about Carter because I wasn't alive back then. But as for Bush, well... let's just say he's as smart as a Chia Pet.

Without any serious competition the award for the worst president of all times goes to none other than George Bush.
He is spending 12$ billion every month in Iraq alone.
With what effect.. lead to the death of 4000 U.S soldiers and 28,000 are seriously injured with brain and spine injuries.
