With his poll numbers falling in low 30%.all the republican scandles and indictments in his cabinet;the President is basicly a lame duck going forward, ear marks and spend, spend until the end with little hope of anything getting done in congress; he has 0 capital, His Iraq War is a disgrace with lots of blood on his hands, he admitted he never had an exit sratagy, he will leave the mess for future President to deal with; the war in Afghanistan is not going well; we are no closer to finding bin Laden after 5 years; Our National debt is the highest in our nations history; his neglect during the Katrina crisis; failed policies on Medicare Benefits No Child Left Behind is a failure; illegal immigrants out of control, demanding RIGHTS with no citizenship; Lobbyist and Special Interest Groups; Drug Companies, Big Oil Companies; all with ties to the Bush Administration. His lack of concern with Global Warming; Iran,and North Korea, the other 2 parts of his axis of evil, seething with hate.

While he is one of the worst, he probably will not be remembered as such.  Remember the people that write the history actually write it the way that they want it to be remembered.  Also, comments like those made by Respiratory have seemed to prevail above truth with this President.  You have excellent facts stated above, however from past experience you are just going to get called names.  Logic does not apply to our current President and his followers.  Regardless of how many persuasive facts and arguments you present, they are just going to sneer and call you a liberal cry baby.  \n\nAnyway, you are correct...our country is in a mess and it is going to take a long time to straighten it out.

Well put from the conservative view.  Where were people like you all this time.  Bush has not only gone on this failed mission, he has almost voided the Constitution, the Bill of Rights,  he pandered to the Christian Right, he alienated most of the rest of the world, he has alienated anyone inside the country who did not agree with him by suggesting the were on the sides of the terrorists, he has  been the most divisive President I  have ever seen.  By doing all these things, he has given conservatism a bad name, and caused far too many to be more than suspicious of Republicans.  He has not only cost you all this,  he has cost  the country  far more.  It is time to abandon this "your either with us,  or your against us" mantra and go back to this country's strength - we are strong because of the variety of opinion and creative energy of all of us, not just the select few.  It is time to include, not exclude, as we face issues coming our way that will require the very best of all of us.

Republicans have no way to defend how bad Bush is doing, and must resort to attacks.  Its their only defense.

Try as we might, we can't possibly blame Bush for all the bad decisions, trillion dollar debt, etc. Congress and the Senate keep sending him spending bills and he keeps signing them, like the brainless, spineless monkey that he is. Congress authorized the invasion of Iraq and he sent the troops. Disagree with the way the government is being run? Send them packing. Vote out every single incumbent. There's plenty of blame to spread around - Democrats and Republicans alike. Midterm elections are coming up. Anyone who votes for an incumbent candidate deserves what he gets.

It was just plain poor decision making. It was obvious that it would open a violent can of worms that would not come to a clean finish. Now it's a mess and that's how it's going to be for a while no matter who is in office.

There is no possible way that Bush could win this election. His time is up. Besides look what he has done with the country now. Even if he could run again he wouldn't make things any better, they would only get worse.

he only cares about his own narrow-minded, self-righteous sense of purpose.  he's dragging the us through the mud and everyone just shouts " you can't criticize the president! we're at war"  correction people--our soldiers are at war, fighting a useless, never-ending, "Vietnam-style" mess.  Whatever happened to Afghanistan?  UBL? they were springboards to this ugly horror of "nation-building".  ever watch the daily show's "interview" with Gov. Bush and Pres. Bush?  the man is a liar.

Ideally yes, but he has to deal with Congress who are up for election (2 yrs-House, 6 yrs-Senate).  Not to mention he has the option to run for reelection.  The people will be royally pissed if he starts acting in a way contrary to what he said during the race.

Besides the fact that he has disgraced the United States, he is a really stupid person. Republicans are narrow minded people, they have no objective view points, they should be eradicated from our government. Bush is a prime example of the dumb part of America.

It is just another move in a long line of them that highlights Bush's penchant for self-righteousness.  To him, it matters not that the majority of the American people don't approve of him, his tactics, or his job performance.  Right after the mid-terms he was all welcoming and talking about working together with the Democrats.  I hoped for once he was being forthright and truthful, but lately I've realized that a leopard really doesn't change its spots.  The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and there you have it.  For the next two years it's going to be a battle in Washington D.C.  I was stunned by his declaration that civil war is not happening in Iraq.  That man has the worst case of tunnel vision I have ever seen in a President.  It's a sure sign of egomania when someone is unable to ever admit they are wrong about anything.  Honestly, this man is the worst President I have ever witnessed in office, and I've been alive long enough to remember Nixon like it was yesterday.

The President hasn't had much power in the entire 6 years of his Presidency. We will go from Democrats obstructing most of Bush's agenda to the Republican Senate squabbling with the morons in Congress...\n\nThey laughed at Bush for saying we should be going to Mars, that should've been a great call for Americans to learn more math and science in schools.... \n\nThey opposed privatizing social security and are in favor of going bankrupt...\n\nThey fillibustered a record number of judge appointments (by far)\n\nYet they let some of the worst aspects of the Republicans agenda take center stage (re: social issues).\n\nI can go on...\n\n\nWashington is broken. We need to throw both parties out. We need to reform the system and amend the constitution. We need a balanced budget amendment, we need a line item veto, we need to find a way to stop the pork barrel spending, we need to end the drug war, we need a lot of changes or this country will misgovern itself into being about as relevant in the future (when India, Russia, China, and Brazil rise) as Western Europe is in this America dominated world...\n\nI say the leftists should all just vote Green and the righties should all vote Libertarian. Both of the parties entrenched in politics are garbage.

His low approval rating, it is around 30%.

From the accounts I read he is trying to get back his previous support but his crowds get thinner and thinner.  I understand he is going to swear himself in as the legitimate President and try to stop the real President elect from taking office in December.  However, I understand people are getting tired of it and I suspect he might have done better to have accepted the cabinet seat and a pivotal role, when he could have positioned himself for the next election.
