Dubbya's Legacy (what will it be?)

As today is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November it makes
it
Election day, be it city, county, state and in some case even federal.
This has me wondering to just what might be the legacy of our beloved and
respected President George W.Bush?
Since he was first elected in 2000 and again reelected in 2004 the make up
of Congress has changed, as it has on state, county and city levels
throughout the US.
That being said, just what do you think *Dubbya's* legacy will be either to
the USA or even the World?
Will it be a good one or a bad one?
What if anything can he claim personal credit for?
What if anything can he be personally blamed for?
Or will he be soon forgotten as nothing more than an irrelevant foot-note to
history?
Will he be forever in the shadow of his predecessor President...

Inept press secretary for the nation's very first successfully
prosecuted treasonous war criminal, Dick Cheney.

That could be mitigated somewhat by yesterday's poll that puts Bush
below Nixon in approval ratings. Bush the Uniter has, in effect,
united Americans with the rest of the planet. (In another record for
Gallup, Bush has over 50%% saying he's are very bad presidunce.)

America's standing could be improved further if Hillary specifically
points out that neither she nor the American people will have anything
to do with past BushCo policies like torture and other violations of
the constitution, international law and human rights.

Easy understandable cause and effect error to make. The GOP all but
died back in the 1990s from the one two punch of the internet and
Clinton. All that was necessary in 2000 was for Democrats to run
someone willing to grab a shovel and bury the stinking mess.

The words, "grab a shovel" and "Al Gore" however, will never appear
together in any sentence except this one.

Dumbya's Legacy? Lower Approval Than Nixon as of 11/6/07

Dumbya also set another Gallup record: More than 50%% think he's an
ultramoronic presidunce.

Another first may be doing time as a war criminal.

One person: Ron Paul! Four years of him will bring out strong third and
fourth parties, scare the wits out of the Republicrats and maybe bring some
honesty to leadership.
