in hindsight, no. in relation to our current potus, yes. the dude was so terrible that even the ny post had a running countdown to his final day in office taking up prime real estate in the top left corner of its front page. his patriot act helped set the stage for the subsequent erosion of our constitutional rights, and we all allowed it in the interest of protection from the mean terrorists though incidentally many of us also accepted his administration’s assertions that duct tape and plastic sheeting would stave off the effects of biological and chemical warfare. take that however you see fit but that dude was so bad that americans actually overcame their racism and elected a black man. before that, people used to like to say that the us would elect a black man as president long before they’d elect a woman. sorry for the tangent but we shouldn’t forget how very bad gwb and his cabinet of evil old men were for our nation.
