Katrina response
cronyism
Interfering in Terry Schaivo case
Inability to form coherent sentences
more vacations than any other Prez
Appointed f***ing scary VP

The people had every opportunity to vote out the President, and hence the VP in the last election, instead a majority voted to keep the President (and by default) the VP in power. So again, I ask what has GW done that places him in the category, "The Worst President in History".
All subjective of course.

Killed 307 people in Britain more than 50 years ago. Sea defences and other protective measures have come on a bit since then.
