Ok, hopenation, I do agree with some of this, although let me do some editing:
Was pre-warned of Osama Bin Laden's ambitions, yet did absolutely nothing- Ok, agree here, although Bill Clinton was presented with a situation where we could have caught Bin Laden, and he chose not to.
The false claims Mr. Bush cooked up to drive america's early consent of the Iraq war that is a political and strategic failure- The whole world (with exception of France and Germany) thought that Saddam had WMDs. I think I would too. The United Nations had asked Saddam 14 times to let inspectors come over and look around for the weapons. I would get pretty suspicious, since Saddam said no to each of the requests. Turns out he was trying to make Israel afraid of him, make them think he had some really powerful weapons. We went over there, didn't find anything, but if you think about it, it's like the quote, "Better safe than sorry". France and Germany did not agree that Saddam had WMDs because they had arms deals with him (determined later during the war).
Claims that he will make us safe, yet the 9/11 commission suggest that we are ill-prepared for any form of an attack on U.S. soil- You know, I don't recall having any more terrorist attacks here, do you? Maybe we are safe- but if we leave the Iraq war we might not. We either fight the terrorists over there, or over here.
Failed tax system that crunches the middle class and led to the outsourcing of jobs- Yes, agree here, but if the government gets involved, then it will be even worse (why I do not agree with the Democrats and the "Big Government" thing).
Don't feel like doing much more. I think the media has also caused a lot of people to turn against Bush. They need to report both sides for once (why I'm one of the only people who favor the FOX news station). Basically, I say yes, Mr. Bush was not the best president, but the title "Worst US President" is going a bit too far.
If the issue at hand was explicitly abortion...

"Yeah, I definitely agree with Bill Clinton. And in response to the "right to life" argument: the "right to life" implies that there is a life at stake--a life involving consciousness. An embryo or even a fetus is no more than a cluster of cells. If this was about killing a living baby, I would feel differently. I don't support abortion, but the government has absolutely no right to tell a woman what she can or cannot do to her body. If you can't trust a woman with a choice, how can you trust her with a child?"
Actually, it is about killing a living baby. And if you can't trust
a woman with a child, then just give the child up for adoption.
yeah, news stations like CNN and FOX report everything by commenting the Democrats. They did this whole show about Obama and for Mcain they just said he was the most likely Republican candidate (not that I like Mcain, but that's kind of not fair). I even saw this interview with some of the Democratic candidates, and the reporter was all smiling and the background was bright and vivid. Then they interviewed some of the Republican candidates and the reporter had a blank face and the background was a VERY dark blue! What's up with that?
Let's Learn From Our Mistakes Going In
there was no mistake going in at all, what else were we going to do? let people get killed over in Iraq? years ago people got mad at the president during the Vietnam war because we pulled out! that was the mistake that we should have learned from! when we left the bad people just took over that country again!!!
