What does one of the higher profile historians in America, Sean Wilentz, think of George W. Bush? What do historians in general think of him?
Go here.
If you recall, I talked about this a little while back.
He notes that, like in my rankings, W is in most historians' pantheons of bad presidents. He also notes that, like me, most historians have to go back into the nineteenth century to find other presidents as bad as W. I put him in my "bottom five" if you recall.
All of this tells you that, in the minds of historians, historians view him to be a really, really, really bad president. Most of us agree that, if he isn't the worst, he's one of the very worst.
