Bush Billboard

I am a little late in getting to this... a billboard along a Minnesota highway shows former President George W. Bush with the words "Miss Me Yet?" There was some mystery over who paid for the billboard. That's been revealed.

Presidential Rankings

C-SPAN asked 65 historians to rank our presidents from best to worst. Abe Lincoln came out on top. James Buchanan came in last. George W. Bush came in at number 36 out of 42.

In the best category, Lincoln was followed by George Washington, FDR, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Thomas Jefferson.
In the worst category, it's James Buchanan followed by Andrew Johnson, Franklin D. Pierce, William Henry Harrison, Warren G. Harding and Millard Fillmore.
Here are some more details about why they were ranked in this order. Is it unfair to judge President Bush so early? Have we really had enough time to understand his presidency?

Great minds...

...really do think alike, it seems.

The lead photo editors from 3 wire services that follow the US President everywhere have selected some of the photos which they think best capture President Bush and his time in office.

One image that all three editors chose independently of each other: Andrew Card informing President Bush that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center in New York.

The story, with excellent discussion, is here.
