it's difficult to see bush jr as number 2 on that list since he literally started 2 pointless wars on both a flimsy pretext and a bald faced lie about wmd's.
both he and his democratic flanks are the clearest sign that americans dgaf if non-americans are slaughtered or their human rights are violated; so long as both social and legacy media alike keep them distracted from being aware of either.
9/11 did a lot of work for Bush Jr.'s approval ratings (Gallup ratings). Same with Giuliani. If it hadn't happened Rudy would have been despised by the public at large a lot sooner.
These polls are rather meaningless though, the right will never be honest and say "our guy bad". They're authy bootlickers by nature.
So all of their presidents will be artificially inflated. Not that people's opinions on them matters when it comes to "how good a job they did" or how much they improved people's lives, or how "honest" they were etc.
agreed and i think it's just difficult for me because of the detrimental impact obama & bush have had on my life.
