    He was extremely successful but in the exact opposite of what he claimed.

    The lasting republican/conservative rule of the nation.

    Tax cuts for the rich will lead to more job creation.

    We will be greeted a liberators. A free Iraq will become a shinning beacon for democracy.

    The war will pay for its self. And how about new records. Total increase of the debt.

    Fighting two wars on the nation credit cards.

    Spending roughly half of his presidency on vacation. That maybe a blessing. How effed-up would we be if he had been on the job full time.

    He managed to mire the USA in two wars for oil and crony contracts, drive it into bankruptcy and economic depression by allowing the price of gas to skyrocket and the banks to go rogue, lose millions of jobs while creating none, and quadruple the value of Dick Cheney's stock portfolio while raping the American peoples' 401Ks all while taking the most vacation of any president in US history. Good job, Georgie!

    Who really cares now that it has already gone under the bridge. Democrats must quit playing the blame game as I would hope the Republicans will not play the same when Obama is not reelected in 2012. What matters now is what his royal highness, Obama, can do to fix the economy and unemployment in particular.

    The invasion of Iraq was the largest foreign policy blunder in modern history.

    President Bush dodged TWO shoes.

    But I liked "No child left behind" in its concept and President Bush's initiative in Africa for AIDS was very good. Still, I suspect history will be quite critical of the Bush administration.

    He stood up to eight years of childish insults from people who know nothing about reality and what it takes to run a country (or even a lemonade stand for that matter).

    well...apparently he did enough so that you still obsess over him because your guy can't produce anything substantive...
