Will president Bush be remembered as a great president?

It will ultimatley be decided on whether he is successful in his objectives.  Short term unpopularity is not despostive to historical greatness.  President Lincoln was one of the most unpopular presidents in his day, but now he is widely considered a great president.

I think President Bush is a great president.  He is almost as good as Ronald Reagan.  I absolutely love Georgie Bush!

A Bush be humble? As if............

Bush has had the fortitude to stand up to the world and to call Saddam's hand as well as expose the French, Germans and Russians as greedy cowards.\n\nNot one of the greatest, though.  No Reagan or Nixon.

No. But he will be remembered as a war-time president. He performed no heroic acts when he was in the military -- and that's what is required to be a war-time hero.

no  he  was  a  good   president.

Bush, need I say more?

Bush has already done a lot of good things to US and to the world.  If he controls Mafia and terrorist activities in US definitely he can be remembered by Americans for ever.  Surely next President's actions will make Mr. Bush as the better one.  Sure his party will win back power in this election.

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.

I think Bush is a great man. He has delt with soo much since he has been in office. My props out to the guy. No matter who is elected to be in office there will always be people who don't agree. You can not please everyone.

When he leaves office he will be remembered for what problems he made not what he solved. I can not remember a President that has messed up so much so fast. And give the felling that he dose not care.

For clarification, Bush was not elected, he was selected, and no I don't think he will be held accountable.  I do think, however, he will be labeled the worst president in recent history.  Bush is not an intelligent person, and everyone knows that.  He was just lucky there were conservatives on the Supreme Court to select him as president back in 2000.

Bush has done better than average with the hand he has been dealt while he has been President. While he is in no way the greatest President of all time. It usually takes an uber-lib to come out with the adjectives such as "pathetic".... especially when stating the "failure" without specific evidence as to how he has failed. (And NO, being in a war is not "failure")

The only place Bush will stand trial is in the court of public opinion. \n\nDon't worry, soon Congress will start senate and house investigations of the dealings of the white house during the past six years. Possible impeachment and removal will follow. He could stand trial for any accusations afterward unless given a pardon like Tricky Dick Nixon was given.

He's been the President I have wanted him to be and I don't really give a crap if the loony lefties like it or not. They had their 8 years with their big hero Billy Bob Clinton who was more interested in getting his knob polished than he was in carrying out the duties entrusted to him. Clinton's legacy is a pair of dirty-kneed pantyhose and a stained blue dress, a looted White house and a wife who was indicted for frauds and would probably be in prison if they hadn't found a sympathetic Democratic dishonorable judge. I think she probably would have thrived in prison.\n\nGeorge Bush has restored a sense of honor to the White House that was sadly lacking during the reign of the horny hillbilly and his despicable supporters who just can't get over the fact that their handpicked successor to Clinton crashed and burned because he's got the IQ of a dead clam.
