I wouldn't miss Bill when it comes to morals as he was the only president to get "caught cheating" on his first lady "in" the white house. Yes, I know others did it but they didn't get caught officially.
He only admitted that mistake after denying it repeatedly and with his back to the wall. In my opinion that is not an honorable admission. All in all, he was still a nice guy though...
I don't claim to be a political pundit, but I predict that history will rate G.W. Bush much more highly than his approval ratings show right now. You know, the only difference in most of the spending during the last 7+ years is that the Dems have complained that not enough was being spent on several programs.

Congresses approval rating is right there with car salesman and IRS auditors. But don't look past the fact that when Dubya retires he'll simply go off to his ranch in Crawford, Texas and continue to get "attaboy" pats on the back from his friends of upper class wealth and the die-hard constituents from his administration. The Bush clan will blow it up W's rear about how the old man and him were father and son presidents. However, realistically Herbert started with trickle down economics that didn't work and G. Walker leaves us in a recession. Although much of his presidency could be graded incomplete with nine-eleven so early as his first term, he is still out of touch. The man was oblivious to the recent gas prices that are now rising again. Let's just say twenty years from now we double his approval rating from what it was few months ago, a lowly twenty-five to fifty percent. Still unsatisfactory considering a nation divided.

IF W were to end his term with no further attacks on American soil, his presidency will be a success; there is no guarantee. Remember, he came into his first term with the intelligence provided by eight years of Clinton the Playboy, during whose eight years the military and intelligence were compromised resulting in the tragedy of 9/11. So he finishes in a recession; he began in a recession. Let's just compromise on that point and call it the 'business cycle'.

I keep waiting for Dubya to admit the economy went sour under his administration. Probably won't happen, will it? Considering he was given two terms of "business cycle", he now leaves us facing a much deeper recession than what he inherited and that's not progress for a president twice elected by electoral votes, once by popular count. George, although the subject is W's legacy, you and I probably agree that we've seen enough of the Bush and Clinton clans for a lifetime, and for various reasons.
