Are you suggesting that Bush wasn't left? Bush was more left than most others on the false let-right paradigm. Lets see, Bush grew government more than any other president in modern history. Bush also spent money like a drunken sailor. I fail to see how anyone can say that Bush was conservative, other than the neo-cons pretending that he was. Then again, that's what's wrong with the false left-right paradigm. Since Bush sided with the "religious right", people seem to think he was right, yet his actions suggested otherwise.

I don't disagree that Bush was a lump of crap, but what I don't get is how Obama, who has been the epitome of ineffectiveness somehow outranks Reagan, I mean really??? Really??? I just don't understand that.

The fact that both FDR and Wilson are in the top 10 shows unequivocally the political agenda of the "experts". This is nothing but a leftist let's-make-a-playground-list-and-sniff-each-other's-farts-while-we're-at-it list.
Hmm, you misunderstand me. This could be my fault; the thread was in fact about Bush and I went attacking the "study", which could reasonably imply I'm a Bush supporter.
Let me set the record straight. I'm not.
Actually, I'd call Bush the worst president except Obama. Obama is the worst. I say that because Obama has not even lifted one finger to try to reverse anything Bush did, the PATRIOT act, wiretapping, the war, the bailouts, etc. Then Obama added his own stuff on top of that. Thus Obama = Bush + Extra Suck.

Most people want to blame Obama, but in reality Bush and his group really set us back tremendously, and red this country far into the RED and expanded the government (most intrusively) despite claiming to be fiscal conservatives and anti-big government.

If Bush set us back (by your logic), what does it mean that the Obama debt is almost 4 times higher?
By the way, Bush is not a conservative, he is a neo-con. Neo-cons are big government right-wingers.
