well... using your guidelines to come up with an answer, i would then have to disqualify myself... as i don't know the details of the administrations of the past 100 years...
now if the question was 'Is Bush The Worst President That You Can Remember?"... then i could give you a yes or no reply...
and to respond to you objection about the logic being flawed, all i can say is that the question itself is flawed... not only for the reason i just gave, but for the explanation that i gave above as to why any blame for a negative response, should be shared by the people who gave him the mandate for his actions...
one man doesn't rule America, therefore it would be illogical to expect one man to be responsible for what happens in America... as it would be illogical to judge that one man as being the worst or the best, based on this sorta reasoning...
it's just like asking if Captain Bligh was the worst ships Captain in history... a good response to this would be 'watch The Caine Mutiny'...
especially the last few minutes of it... Jose Ferrar's character gave what would be the definitive answer to a question like this...
a better response would be, that 'i don't know'... for the mere fact that i don't know the details of the commands of all of histories ships Captains...
the ship of state that is America draws some similar parallels... don't ya think...
