I think a more objective view of our last few presidents would put George W. Bush in that position. An unnecessary war that destroyed our national reputation in the world and put us in the eyes of the rest of the world in the same league as Hitler, cutting taxes for the wealthiest people during wartime and crony capitalism have essentially robbed all of us of a prosperous future, and I doubt whoever succeeded him would have had it much better at attempting to turn that around. I fail to see what exactly Obama has done to put him into the same class with the disaster that preceded him. These clowns love to say 'during the Obama administration debt has increased..blah..blah', but what they fail to say is that Obama's first year in office was under Bush's last budget, which included the massive TARP bailouts and other expensive actions necessary to keep the banking system from exploding, and that much of the spending that followed was the correct thing to do to keep prices from going into a deflationary death spiral with the resultant massive unemployment, as seen in the 1930's. Bush dumped a series of blunders and disasters created by his insane administration right into Obama's lap.
