Oh, there have been other presidents that have committed idiocies just like Bush:

-Quincy Adams (whose Corrupt Bargain with Clay marked him for all of his presidency and whose ideas did not fit the age he was living in)

-Grant (whose government probably was one of the most corrupt of the US)

-Nixon (well, that's too obvious)...

It's funny how history repeats itself constantly and we do nothing to change or ameliorate it (or do we?)
