Eric Alterman Exaggerates

Eric Alterman says:

What is one to say about today? To the horror of its well-wishers across the world, the United States—once the “last, best hope of mankind”- is re-inaugurating the worst president in its history; one who has exploited an attack, the success of which its own incompetence helped enable, in order to execute an extremist agenda that is killing thousands, costing trillions and leaving all of us far more insecure than when it began.

It's an exaggeration to say that Bush is the worst President ever. But his second inauguration is historic, in that he is almost surely the worst President ever to get re-elected.
