What will his legacy be?

I thought he did a pretty good job after 911. After that I would think his presidency was a disaster. I can't think of one good thing he accomplished in 8 years.

Well, Bush's approval ratings are the worst in presidential history.

So anyone saying he is the worst ever is not too far off.

Buster im surprised at you, judging a president by how u fared under him...
Anyway the liberal Bush turned out even worse than i thought he would. He left a country that even anything close to 50% of the people would consider Barack Hussein Obama for ANYTHING much less President makes him HANDS DOWN the WORST President in history.......Beats Clinton by miles.
What the Democrats will do with eminent domain and The Patriot Act will be end of this country and they set it all up under his watch..........

Not true at all.

History and only history can judge.

Truman was hated when he left office as well.

History has placed him much better.

Kennedy on the other hand keeps losing his luster...especially with the released archives in the former Soviet Union that damaged him so badly.

2nd worst president in my lifetime as there is just no comparison to carter (seriously folks...think back!). thought he did a great job leading after 9/11 but the final 6 years was a massive disappointment

Not even hot on 9-11 leadership. Why was it necessary to make millionaires outta all the families of the ones who perished? If this is his modus operandi shouldn't he do better by the guys and their widows etc, that he sent to Iraq?

Bush lowered the bar, no doubt about it. Worst president in my lifetime, ruined the Republican brand and paved the way for a probable Obama
ascendency to the office, which is probably as troubling as anything he did in office.

I'm non affiliated but never voted for a Democrat for President. I kind of liked Clinton so I didn't vote in 1992 & 1996. He certainly was better than Bush who I did vote for in 2000.

worst of my lifetime... i don't buy the "he did well after 9/11" garbage...

if you told me on 9/12 that 7 years would pass and we would not have caught osama i would have told you you were crazy... if you went on to tell me that we would go into iraq and lose 4,000+ americans i would have said no freaking way.

foreign policy has been a wreck and we are in the worst economic shape in a long time. on top of all of that he called for the single largest socialistic bill of all time.

the guy is/was a disaster.

I think if we're all honest, the biggest disappointment is that if you take away the two to three times a year he gave a nationally visible speech promoting this or that reason why the US needed to "stay the course in Iraq" (or similar verbiage), George W Bush has been fairly non-existent for the past six years.

I mean, how many times did he wield the veto pen in eight years - once, twice?

And other than the periodic insistence that steady military intervention in Iraq was important, what will historians look back and note as something which GW Bush really got behind and brought into reality?

To that end, I can't see much of a difference between GW Bush and either Carter or Gerald Ford.
