It is true that you can make a list like this for any President, but the one comment above inre: making the presidency most secretive and unaccountable, Kenndy actually kept far more secrets than Bush has. However, he was, at times, remarkably accountable. Also, look back through history books for pictures of FDR in a wheelchair. Chances are, you will find VERY few of them. He did not like to be photographed or seen in public in his wheelchair, for fear that it would show him as being weak. If he were around today and had his entire life documented on TV, he would never have been President just on image alone.
Also, as far as Bush being the worst "in history" for some of these, bear in mind that everything has been "super-sized," if you will, as time goes on. It would be impossible for all but a few Presidents to spend in the billions or trillions. Also, some of the programs that have finally had the final nail in their coffins have been on a steadily declining path. If they had all been in tip-top shape from the beginning, they might have lasted another 10 years or so.
On, and for the record, I do NOT support Bush, but I try to look at everything from every angle before pointing the finger.
