Noted without comment
But at least it's being noted.
At 39 months in the doghouse, George W. Bush has surpassed Harry Truman's record as the postwar president to linger longest without majority public approval.
Bush
Bush hasn't received majority approval for his work in office in ABC News/Washington Post polls since Jan. 16, 2005 — three years and three months ago. The previous record was Truman's during his last 38 months in office.

And Truman is often on the list of greatest Presidents.

Sweet Jesus weeping on the cross--this man is NO Harry Truman.
Part of the reason Truman was despised was because he integrated the US Army.
I can't think of any progressive act committed by George W. "I can figure how to get out of Vietnam, but I can't figure out a way out of Iraq" Bush.
Loki, are you like, TWELVE? You're absolutely clueless.

LB - i will put $500 into an interest bearing account payable to your heirs, to be paid any time within the next 150 years, if any nationally recognized organization of historians (ie, not a conservative thinktank sponsored group) ranks George Bush higher than 35th in a listing of the "best" presidents.
Will you do the same payable to my heirs if he is ranked lower than 40th?

In 1952, Harry Truman was no Harry Truman either. If you're going to do the comparison you don't get to pick and choose.
Harry Truman was despised because of the Korean war that wasn't going well at the time. Wait, Barak Obama has promised "I will go to Iran". That'll solve it.
Counter offer. I'll pay for you to move to North Korea or South Korea. Choose one. Hint: with your politics you'd actually feel more at home in North Korea.
And you don't have $500. You're going to need it to pay off that lawsuit right in your own back yard caused by actions of those oh so progressive people who live in Durm.
