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.

Yes Bush is in a tough situation but the majority of it is his own doing Yet hr tries to blame every one but his own self The sooner he his out of office the better . He has run up the national debt higher than all the presidents prior to him combined. as A WORLD LEADER HE IS A FAILURE  He only hears what he wants to and will not admit that he is totally wrong on many things Ignores the true facts about the war in Iraq because it does not fit what he wants to hear  He has single handedly turned the majority of our allies against us . And yet the few supporter he has left think he it the greatest thing to come along since sliced bread.  How sad it is that they are so blinded by all of  the B.S. that spews out of his mouth

Johnson was the biggest failure of a president America has ever seen. \n\nIt should be easy to expound on that statement.

I am with you girl, education is the key! It's all really obvious where the Bush administration has gone within the last 6 years. America will regain its self soon with the change of Congress. I am hoping for the start of quite a few investigations to move forward, with a new Congress.

Bush is by far the worst president we have ever had. Watergate was spying on the other political patry, while what Bush is doing is spying on the general public, and that is horrible.

It was a total, preventable failure of historic proportions on the part of the Bush Administration. Anyone in the private sector would have lost his job over it, but Bush dodged impeachment because he has too many allies in Congress.\n\nA shameful chapter among many in our history that have occurred on Bush's watch.

Not in his term, but I believe we are on the right track. Can you even imagine if we had of not done anything at all after 911, where we would be by now....Hopefully when Mr. Bush leaves office, the person taking over will continue his efforts for a peaceful Iraq.

it seems that some of the people that answered your question is some of the 32% of the bush butt sniffers still out there\nWith the help of his brother, the governor of Florida, and his father's appointments to the Supreme Court, He became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

one of the worst presidents!!! our economy sucks. soldiers are getting killed over WMDs that did not exist! (and even if they did exist... who cares? we got em too!! but no one is invading us and killing our innocent civilians!) he hasn't accomplished anything good for the american people. the unemployment rate has risen since the clinton administration. we are in soooo much debt and so much more that i wont even get into. bush will definitely go down as one of the worst presidents.

I was asking the same question near the end of Bush Sr's term... things are worse now, than they were then, but I have faith that a good leader can turn things around....\nthere could be problems if a good leader isn't elected...

Bush... Bush failed at oil then failed at his baseball team. He didn't find success until he road on the skirtails of Daddy President to become governor. And everybody in Washington knows that Daddy's Republican team ran the show for him.\n\nBryan above me is using inaccurate numbers. Notice he provides no source. \n\nIf you want to find out the truth from the MOST RELIABLE news source in the world, you can check out and watch online PBS's Frontline 'The Choice 2004'\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004/view/\n\nFrontline practically every year wins the truth in journalism award. Don't fall for bogus unaccredited internet news sources.\n\nBtw, I delete emails without reading them that come from neanderthal Bush supporters.

Because the Bush Administration has failed on almost every level. I'm just praying for his administration to end without any more major mistakes. I If you are going to run the U.S. like a corporation, at least have some good business sense and ethics. Read about Bush's business failures before he was elected into office and you'll understand why we're in such a mess right now.

Nope.  He's been a terrible President.  It's depressing to think what a truly great and brave President could have done after 9/11.  He could have united the world behind us and we could have tackled all kinds of tough problems.  Bush squandered all that with his stupid war, divisive politics and reckless budget policies.  Worst President ever?  Bottom 5 for sure!!!!!!!!!!

Not Cheney - he is not the power behind the throne, he is the power AND the throne, with The Bush his minion.  Are we witnessing the collapse of the house of cards at last?

No! Does everyone not seem to notice that terrorism became large scale when Bush came into power? Nothing like this ever happened when Clinton was in power. I won't deny that Clinton had his faults, but when he it came to international relations, the man was on top of his game. Unless, the US elects a more intelligent and a more capable president, I fear that any actions taken by Bush and the US government will only make things a whole lot worse.

Bush Jr.'s heart and spirit burns with American patroism, but his cabinet appointment choices have been nothing less than poor; rife with unqualified and inept people.\n\nNot that this problem is isolated with just the White House, but historic and often tragic events during Bush Jr.'s terms have produced glaring clear evidence that other vital government operated offices our National safety depends on are rife with political brown-nosers whose ineptness adds a dangerous ingredient for a recipe of disaster.\n\nBottom line: I pray as Americans, we learn it's not very wise to elect politically empowered family members to become our President.
