What do you think the Bush legacy will be?

If the republicans would have won (7 Nov 06), I could safely say his would be a failed presidency; based on a failed neo-con ideology of preemption war, total environmental degradation, and that both fuel the economy (or at least make rich white guys richer). The next two years could prove positive for him if he works with the moderates. The only problem is, he has put us so far in debt, there is no monies left to work on any sustainable economic paradigms.

Bush, Gore, Clinton, Kennedy...ya legacy is a poor idea in any political or business arena.\n\nThere are exceptions to the rule; however, those exceptions should be based on merit rather than one's descendants.

Oh, no...that's going to be a problem for his successor in the White House to inherit. There is no dignified, politically advantageous way to withdraw, and Bush has no incentive to clean up this mess, it's not as if he can run for re-election.

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.

Actually, I think Bush's respect is at a record low now and will probably head even further south as he has set this country and much of the world on a horrible path that is going to take a long time to correct.\n\nThe needless thousands of deaths he has caused can never be forgiven or forgotten.

Some interesting answers so far. It's obvious that feelings toward Bush are either extremely pro or extremely con. I don't find that surprising considering who he replaced. The country was extreme in its feelings towards Clinton too.\n\nObviously, it will be years before historians can judge him objectively, but I personally believe that Bush will be listed among the very good presidents in history.\n\nWe are going through a very difficult time in our country's history. The consequences of mishandling our enemies are huge. I believe he's handled them fairly well. I also believe that those who disagree underestimate the hatred our enemies have for us. And those who blame that hatred on Bush simply don't know history. The attacks started decades ago.

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.

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.

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).

Mr. Bush will be remembered primarily for being President on 911. Political rhetoric never survives the passage of time. I don't think he will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents, but he will also not be remembered as the worst either.\n\nRenate: You need to study the history of Lincoln' presidency. He was absolutely despised by half of the country. The name calling and rhetoric was even worse than that used to described Mr. Bush. In fact he was so hated that he was assassinated. Just because you hate the man, do presuppose to believe that history will agree with you. As a general rule, when people study history they review major events, not the feelings of the day.

America will have no more of the Bush's. Their reign is over. America wants to impeach the one we have now as it is. George Bush and his family have lost all if any credibility. Too many lies...

His must be a kind of legacy to prompt such discussion

Both, but Bush has the potential to do much greater harm over time. His embargo on Iraq accounted (according to UN Relief) for the death of about 500 thousand children over nearly 10 years. If he goes on, the toll on the arab countries might entitle the Bush family for an award for genocide against all arab nations, I say award because I doubt he'll ever be tried to crimes (like last week's bombing of a Pakistani village over the Iraq border murdered a few peasant families) but who cares about these things, anyway.
