George Walker Bush will be remembered for his legendary failure rate.
I dare someone to find a more miserable failure than Dubya. I believe he will receive a negative job performance rating for his 8 years - that is to say if we can find ANY performance to rate, from Dec 12th 2000.

I stay somewhat skeptical.

2. His choice.
Never had to go along with any of it. Legendary failure rate - his personal history.

9. True. He must have been one spoiled little brat to do this to our country,
without showing any remorse. His personal life must have shaped his 'legend'.

5. He will not be thought of in a nice way by anyone.
Anywhere. The King John of America.

11. Please do not sully King John's name.
:D

At least the Magna Carta came into being during his reign, which eventually gave us Habeas Corpus. Bushler has eviscerated it, thus handing a victory to Osama Bin Laden.

14. Well he will forever be remembered as the toilet.
I guess we should have known Bush would flush the Constitution.

12. Odd, how even at this late date, it's STILL hard to believe . . .
anyone would purposefully plan something that they KNEW would inevitably and needlessly kill thousands of innocent people for whatever.

There is NO other word for it; they are Murderers.

I've been following the whole thing from its beginning and I'm STILL shocked and amazed that they did it AND they WILL get away with it.

4. Who would have thought that a man who only managed to graduate in the top 80% of his class
due to his parents donating 25 Million to his school;
a man who bankrupted every business he ever was involved with with the exception of the baseball team he got government subsidy for;
a man who was convicted of at least two DWIs;
that this paragon of conservative values would make a lousy (p)Resident?

Color me shocked.

7. The guy who couldn't stay sober during his tour in the ANG
The guy who has the most infamous brothers in modern times. A family that has ties into clear politics for profit ties to corporations with no bid contracts.

If you go by the 'bullets for butter' scale - the entire family would be way in the negative numbers. Productive? Sure if you think death is progress.

13. The man who delighted in blowing up frogs as a child and Branding Frat brothers a$$holes
But he cames by it honestly. Remember Grandpa Prescott was Hitlers banker and a famous war profiter in his own right. With genes like that and the proper inbreeding how could you miss?

6. It'll be interesting - but the question is how much of his failure is due to incompetence
and how much is due to malice? Or ideology?

I mean I don't know how much I like future generations thinking "Well Bush might have had some good ideas, but was hampered by his failures."

8. I think most will wonder if he ever was the president of the US.
People love to remember the aberrations in history. If anyone spends a few minutes online in the future to read about GWB, they will have to ask themselves - how could he PERSONALLY fail so often in everything he did?

Yet at the same time, he did 'become' president and had a war and blah blah, so it will be interesting to see how history (global) writes GWB into their books.

10. I suppose it will be like Aaron Burr - the vice president who plotted to hand
america back to the British - we look the other way pretty much.
