It's up on everyone's list except Bush's and unfortunately he has veto power, so he's held our entire country hostage for almost 8 years.

What has he vetoed that would have provided for energy independence?

Things will change very rapidly once he's gone. Even McCain will make energy independence a higher priority. Bush is the worst President in modern history, maybe ever in this country.

I hear everyone saying it, but the facts are that how good or bad a president is cannot be determined for several decades after he leaves office. I think the war was mishandled, and he'll take the blame for it, but at the same time, he showed great leadership in recognizing the essential nature, for our national security, of removing Saddam -- which the previous president simply didn't have the will or gumption to do.
