I'm a repulican and I don't think he will be considered a good president. I don't think he is a good president. When he was Governor of Texas, he was a very good Governor. He bult a lot of new roads (which we needed), he imporved education and was very good at reaching across the aisle to democrats. Our Lt. Governor was Bob Bullock(a democrat) and he endorsed Bush for Prez. I don't know what happened to him once he reached Washington.

Popularity definately changes over time. While Clinton was president, he was greatly favored. He was intelligent and a wonderful speaker. Now, the majority [but not all] of society looks down upon the years of his presidency. In this sense, I think Bush will be praised in the future for his contribution to the American society. He DID quickly retaliate after 9/11 occurred, much like FDR did after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Within 6 months, troops were sent overseas. He has made foolish decisions, but he also has made intelligent ones. Because of this, I think Bush will be viewed as a good president in the future.

I think he deserves the respect that the President of the United States should get. I also think he is the most politically targeted President this nation has ever had. His stance against terrorism has taken it's toll on his party and his presidency. History will Be more kind to him then the present.

Clinton 8 years = Wonderful life with my husband and family and business.  Bush = 6 years= Hell so bad with my husband I had to buy ear plugs and business is down due to everyone having to pay gas and heat bills and rack up credit cards to live on. I'd say that if Bush can destroy the American dream in 6 years I am surprised we don't have a revolution on our hands.Monday we can all listen to the prick give his written by someone else speech on the illegals that he was giving breaks to and try to cover his a$$ on this just to skid by .I only know that after I listened to President Clinton's ideas and lectures our environment and economy would be in great shape and he was there when disaster hit, not letting it happen . He almost had Bin Ladin and we all know that's more than Bush has done. I still scratch my head on Hussein .All I can say is a balance has to be in the house and I am beginning to think we should have 2 presidents to work together, 1 Dem and 1 Rep. Then at least we could enjoy some good old fist fights :) Lets just say after watching the second 9-11 film on the web I seriously think I was right about the whole 9-11 attacks! Look what the Govt. did after the WW with letting off nerve gas in cities to see how it effects a person. This was on T.V. and I thought if they can use the American people as guinea pigs how far will they go! If our phones or computers should ever be monitored as just the common person, to listen to our talks then the Govt. should pay half our internet bill and our phone bill!

I would like to see George W. Bush's brother Jeb Bush become the next President of the United States of America, that way Americans who complain about the current President Bush can deal with another four years of another President Bush.

He can't. President Bush only has a little over two years left, and it's time for him to start thinking about his legacy. At this point nobody likes him (not even his dog). If he is going to do anything REALLY productive before the Republicans in congress and the senate COMPLETELY turn on him, he's going to have to stop listening to his advisors, stop listening to his wife, stop listening to the Pentagon, stop listening to the press, and sit and think about why he REALLY wanted to be President Bush in the first place.

Historians will ultimately see Clinton as a slightly better than average president.  While almost no one on Main Street remembers anything about his presidency other than his affair, some of us do recall more about his eight years in office.  Among his accomplishments -- taking a huge federal deficit and turning it into a huge federal surplus (which Bush has again made into a huge federal deficit); presiding over the best post-World War II economy; putting 100,000 police on the streets through federal funding, aiding in the sharp drop in crime rates during his presidency; and above all in sharp contrast to some other president we know, presiding over a period in which America and its president were admired and respected.  Whenever I tell my conservative friends all this, all they want to talk about is Monica.  I suspect they need to adjust their priorities.  On the other hand, Clinton's affair was a shocking dereliction of duty and betrayal of trust (he should have been censured, not impeached) and his handling of health care was pretty ham-handed.  Rest assured, however, that regardless of what historians think of him, the crowd that answers these questions -- which is much more representative of mainstream American thought than I am -- will continue to smear him and talk about Monica.

I don't feel safe at all with GW Bush as president.  When his term ends I'm not sure if he'd even be willing to leave office without having done something momentous to be remembered by.  He's done unorthodox stuff in the past.  How unorthodox will he get?\n\nFor a president, Bush is quite unusual.  He's allowed more money to be borrowed than any other president.  He's the only president in the 20th century not to win the popular vote in a presidential election.  And he's the first president to invade a sovreign country.  \n\nBush has been given the ability to end the world as we know it.  He's got "the football" no more than 10 feet away from him at any time.  This football has the capability of launching a nuclear "first strike" against pretty much anyone.  Will he want to be remembered as the one who put an end to countries that didn't conform to him.  Or will God tell President Bush to launch a nuclear strike against someone?  Remember, God told Bush to invade Iraq and Afganistan.

HIstory will be the judge of what we've done, but we won't know until long after we're gone. \nHow can you know something after you're dead?????\nAnother would be "Bring 'em on" They did, and hundreds of soldiers died. He apologized for that one though, about 3 weeks ago with Tony Blair by his side. Dumb.

Yes I think Bush is gonna hold on for the full term. We the people are continuing to hand over more and more of our liberties in the name of safety. Were afraid of terrorism. Were afraid of crime. Hell were even afraid of people who have thoughts that aren't dictated by the media or the government. Shame really.. I remember a time when we were free to speak our mind no matter how unpopular our thoughts.Once our forefathers thought freedom was worth dieing for now we cheapening the deaths of those who died for freedom by giving it away so trivially in the name of safety.

Probably not (and no, that was not a stab at President Bush himself).  Many American's probably couldn't even name the president 30 years ago, let alone any individual act that he did -- and contrary to popular belief the world was just as harrowing back then as it was now.  So unless something truly dramatic happens (mankind reaches Mars during his term, for example), he'll just go down as just another American President.  And if you think 9/11 alone was significant enough to mark his place in history, how many of your can name the president during Pearl Harbor, an equally shocking event? (You'd be surprised how many people couldn't).

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.
