Who’da thunk? Dubya’s Star is rising. Barack’s seems to be fading.

Of course it is because the GOP is in such a mess and there’s a void for non-deplorable conservatism that he’s filling. Correspondingly, Biden’s doing a better job than Obama and there’s no role that Obama can fill as a rightist neoliberal.

I can't believe people would forgive GW.

OP = troll

Dubya is the guy who claims he wants to "unite" people but started unnecessary wars and wanted to amend the constitution to discriminate against us

Now that his evil and controlling mother is dead, he can begin to think for himself?

Maybe. I'll wait and see. I think he's an evil mutherfucker in his own right, mostly by virture of being a spoiled rich kid of powerful parents. Much like... Matt Gaetz.

After four years of Trump and the Tea Party, Bush is a dying breed of Republicans. Very sad.

Fuck Trump, Hail Bush!

Obama was the worst president ever. He took vacations, played golf, hung out with Hollywood, and set race relations back years. White people elected him twice and he’s now of the richest men in the world. Yet still, he hates America and hates that America chose a white man after him. Trump is his legacy. Obama is a racial arsonist, a great divider if you will.

Dubya should have been more progressive while he was in office not now while he paints, he could be a raging conservative now and it just wouldn't matter.

Biden’s success now is unimaginable without the Obama administration. Many of the political appointees are from the Obama years, and their knowledge and relationships are still relevant because it has only been four years rather than eight. They have really hit the ground running.

I disagree. Dubya's star is not rising and will never rise again. At best it's just stopped sinking and leveled off, because bush has one thing going for him, and one thing only - in retrospect, he doesn't seem as bad as Trump, so he's no longer regarded as the all-time worst U.S. president. But Bush will never overcome the stigma of his opportunistic but unnecessary Iraqi invasion.

As for Obama, his star power is permanent. He's a beloved figure to Democrats and always will be. As the first African American U.S. president, he achieved something that seems unimaginable now, after the brutal waves of bigotry the Trump presidency subsequently unleashed. But since stepping down as president, I personally feel that Obama could have been and could be doing a whole lot more than he has to promote and support racial unity in the wake of Trump.

Dubya has some currency at this moment because he and his name represent the establishment wing of the GOP which is undergoing its own civil war with the White Nationalist wing of the GOP. I hope the establishment folks are not looking to Dubya to fix any of this. He's not that smart.

I don't care about Bush but The Guardian is so manipulative with that headline.

R5 is hysterical. A love a good parody post!

The only reason the media is talking about Bush 2 is because the GOP is now so god awful, they yearn for the GOP under his presidency.

Obama's popularity has dropped because of constant far left progressive whining.

OP = Boris the Nazi Incel retro-rating the Most Deplorable Presidents to the top of the pack while retro-grading the Best Presidents to the bottom.

Same Ol' Shit that's been proven wrong consistently by the voters.

Barack Obama is the best president since Eisenhower and Biden would be nothing without him. Obama remains tremendously popular with the American majority.

Boris the OP should really get to work paying down the $4 trillion + that Dumb Dubya spent for his wild goose chase in Iraq rather than projecting a false popularity on to the dumbass who got us there. But Republican scum will never pay taxes for their reckless wars and deficits, so they're deadbeat and just lying about what they are, AS USUAL.

Pew Research tells us the TRUE American opinion of living presidents as determined by THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS A WHOLE, not just Boris the Nazi Incel:

44% APPROVAL: BARACK OBAMA

33% BILL CLINTON

19% TRUMP

14% GEORGE W. BUSH

The main reason Boris the Nazi Incel would never consider Obama a great president is simply because Obama's black.

GALLUP SAYS:

63% BARACK OBAMA

Sorry, Boris. Foiled again! This even comes from a pollster whose methods exaggerate the conservative view.
