December 2008 marks not just the conclusion of another calendar year, but the end of eight years of the George W. Bush administration-an era notable for, among other things, particular predations on civil liberties, the free flow of information and the public's right to know. Other administrations have been wary of the press corps, to be sure. Has the Bush administration been the least acceptable president?

COUNTERSPIN authors on FAIR.ORG has noted : "December 2008 marks not just the conclusion of another calendar year, but the end of eight years of the George W. Bush administration—an era notable for, among other things, particular predations on civil liberties, the free flow of information and the public's right to know. Other administrations have been wary of the press corps, to be sure. But it was the Bush White House whose first attorney general instructed federal agencies to drag their feet on FOIA requests; whose Defense Department orchestrated the pulling down of a statue of Saddam Hussein—supposedly by joyous Iraqis—as part of a disinformation campaign on the war. Who pressured EPA officials to "clean up" public statements on air quality at Ground Zero after September 11, 2001. Whatever one thinks of the incoming administration, it's fair to say the departing one has left a very high hole to dig out of a number of fronts."

Has the Bush administration been the least acceptable president ever in terms of good governance, protecting liberties and Americans, the constitution, growth in the common weal?

Choose the U.S. President on your own least acceptable index and give the outgoing administration its grade card in American history.
