this is hardly a controversial statement

Reid: ‘I really do believe President Bush is the worst president we’ve ever had.’

In early 2006, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said of President Bush: “I really do believe this man will go down as the worst president this country has ever had.” This morning on Meet the Press, host David Gregory asked Reid whether he regrets making that statement. Reid refused to back down. “I think you just have to call things the way you see them,” he said. “I really do believe President Bush is the worst president we’ve ever had.”

Update - White House Press Secretary Dana Perino issued a terse response to Reid's statement. "The Senate Majority Leader isn't really taken seriously," she said.

I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find someone who disagreed with Reid's statement of fact. Perino's pathetic snark was pretty funny though.
