How was it for you?

Five years ago today Al Gore phoned George Bush to formally concede the presidency. Since then the United States has suffered it's worst ever terrorist attack, become embroiled in a disastrous foreign war and bungled the response to a natural catastrophe. So what is the Bush legacy after half a decade? Is he a ruthless Machiavellian or a bumbling puppet? A devout idealist or a cynical opportunist? A disaster or a mild disappointment? Here, six top American commentators - from the left and the right - deliver their verdicts

The problem with this Homo Erotic psychopath is that he is just so damn LAZY.
He can't even be bothered to learn a new speech. That dos not change his place in history as the WORST PreZNIT EVER. He has shredded the constitution and opened the gates of hell to the FASCIST THUGS. The only bright side is thinking that CARMA is a bitch.

for Blowing the best chance ,since the end of WW2, to actually achieve world peace. Instead of using the sympathy of the entire World as a force for good, He chose to lead us down the road to war against an insignificant country like Iraq.
No threat, no Real weapons to fear. A wise man once said "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself". When a Government uses fear against it's own citizens, with the intent to start a war, where no war is nessessary, you need to fear that government.
