Until Obama came along, Bush was the worst president ever.
I agree. Obama has certainly taken the crown from Bush as being the worst president. But I think Carter is even worst. At least Obama has not totally abandoned Israel... getting close... but not yet.

And you do realize that these tax breaks are the same tax breaks that is afforded to any company doing business in the United States... including Apple.
Yep, and thanks to Bush II we got the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which provided huge benefits for renewable energy development. This Act was instrumental in providing me with the opportunity to be involved with NEPA permitting of over 2 dozen wind farms from Texas to Minnesota. The guaranteed loan aspect became a problem after it was amended by Obama under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Section 406. That's what led to problems like Solyndra.
I was never a fan of GWB and many of his policies, so I didn't think Obama would be worse. I was wrong.
