On This Date in Bush History 12/2: "the worst of the presidents"
"This is historic times." President Bush, April 20th 2004
2002: White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer talks today of Saddam and WMDs: "If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again misleading the world". Or, as it turns out, he may just be telling the truth. Bush's Iraq weapons inspector David Kay admitted Saddam had no WMDs in October 2003, adding "Iraq’s large-scale capability to develop, produce, and fill new chemical weapon munitions was reduced - if not entirely destroyed - during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Fox, 13 years of U.N. sanctions and U.N. inspections."
2005: Columnist and presidential biographer Richard Reeves writes today: "Poor James Buchanan, the 15th president, is generally considered the worst president in history ... Buchanan set the standard, a tough record to beat. But there are serious people who believe that George W. Bush will prove to do that, be worse than Buchanan. I have talked with three significant historians in the past few months who would not say it in public, but who are saying privately that Bush will be remembered as the worst of the presidents" Poor George.
"you don't have much time to sit around and wander, lonely, in the Oval Office, kind of asking different portraits, how do you think my standing will be?" President Bush, March 16th 2005
