The next president of the United States

[bassjones]

as a matter of fact I do... The outcome in Iraq/Middle East will ultimately determine the fate of W.'s legacy too. In 100 years he will be viewed as Rushmoreesqe or Hooveresque and not much in between those two.

[=^-..-^=]

Rushmoresque? –Like a big dumb rock?

Hooveresque? –Like the vacuum cleaner, he's really expensive and sucks?

I thought you thought more of him than that. . .

you knew what I meant... we leave Iraq and Afghanistan with functioning Democracies and Democratic Revolution takes place in the Middle East, which brings about an end to Islamofascist Terrorism, and he goes down as one of our top 5 Presidents of all time. We leave early, Iraq becomes Cambodia, Iran swoops in and establishes itself as the dominant force in the Middle East and becomes a Superpower to challenge us, and he goes down as one of the 5 worst Presidents of all time. 100 years from now Bill Clinton will be one of the Presidents that kids struggle to remember in Social Studies class. 100 years from now W. is either hailed as a great one or lambasted as a fool.

I remember Reagan getting called everything from stupid to asleep. Remember when Nancy was using a psychic?

I think we'll look at Bush the same way 20 years from now. The only thing that has hosed him is the lack of a budgetary backbone.

....throw in the lack of a border backbone also, and I agree.

good point. if it comes out as a peaceful democratic state, then W will be remembered as a great president who was just misunderstood in his time. Its funny to think of him being remembered as "great" considering how low his approval rating has been for the past few years. And honestly, he lied to the american people. there were no wmds, after they found that out he changed his tune. It wasnt the threat they posed, rather it was the need for democracy and freedom in iraq which led us to attack them. what a douche. fuuck bush, and reagan too. he was a real piece of shiit. a president who is both strongly anti-environment and strongly anti-drug makes for a hippie's worst nightmare.
