Bush's uncertain legacy

WASHINGTON

George W. Bush could be remembered as the worst president in U.S. history. Or he could be remembered as the greatest.

He also might be seen as the unluckiest, or the one who tackled the most challenges. He might be remembered as the defining leader of the new century or as a mistake-prone bureaucrat.

Defining this president’s place in history will take time, especially since two of the biggest stories of his term in office — Iraq and Afghanistan — still likely have years of plot lines left.

But experts all predict one thing: He will be remembered.

"This is not an inconsequential presidency," said Steven Schier, author of the new Bush biography "Panorama of a Presidency." "This is a guy who made energetic and decisive moves in an eventful time. Whether they were for good or ill still has yet to be seen."

2. Stupid Article

What kind of introduction is " George W. Bush could be remembered as the worst president in U.S. history. Or he could be remembered as the greatest.?" I'd give an essay like this a "D" for starting with a sentence like that!!! Maybe an "F" for ending it with a conclusion like "Whether they were for good or ill still has yet to be seen." If Shane hasn't a position to take on his subject why equivocate? Anyway it's a no brainer for anyone who's been breathing the last eight years as to what GWB's legacy is to America and the world... a nigtmare.
