98% of Historians Vote Bush Presidency a Failure

It's always nice to know that professionals share in your evaluation. A new poll of professional historians has shown that 98% of those polled deem the Chimperator's presidency a failure. Equally revealing is the fact that 61% see him as the worse president in the nation's history. That's right - dead last. I have to agree with both evaluations. Tarzan’s side kick, Cheetah, would probably have out performed Bush. Here's more from U. S. News & World Reports:

President Bush often argues that history will vindicate him. So he can't be pleased with an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network. It found that 98 percent of them believe that Bush's presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. Not only that, more than 61 percent of the historians say the current presidency is the worst in American history.

Among the reasons given for his low ratings: invading Iraq, "tax breaks for the rich," and alienating many nations around the world. Bush supporters counter that professional historians today tend to be liberal and that it's too early to assess how his policies will turn out.
