History will tell where GWB stacks up against all the rest. Saying now that he is the worst ever means nothing and is just more "I hate Bush so I am calling him the worst" silliness. One Abraham Lincoln, in his time was most likely considered the worst president ever too. 600,000 Americans soldiers died under his reign, struggled to win his second term which was ended with a bullet in head.

I've visited forums where there are still people who believe Lincoln was the worst ever. Of course, they are from the deep south and believe that slavery would have ended without the war and that teh war was just a northern excuse to reign in the south.
