2. A complete disaster. Somewhere in the Franklin Pierce area.
History will NOT be kind to George W. Bush.

3. Well as Rove pointed out, too much education makes people less
likely to believe Republican Bullshit. Therefore, I propose Bush will be dead last, OR second only to maybe...Buchanan.

4. He will....

6. None of those. There is yet no comparison in the past
history of the USA for the worst President ever. However, you may find some similarities with the worst Roman emperors.

9. If you consider the movement of vast sums of money to be success
BushCo are all-around-winners. More than $200 billion gone, US debt supposedly sold to China, an amazing financial success.

And we get to pay for it.

13. Historians vs. George W. Bush
Here's a great article. I think it came out about a year ago:

http://hnn.us/articles/5019.html

Of 415 historians who expressed a view of President Bush’s administration to this point as a success or failure, 338 classified it as a failure and 77 as a success. (Moreover, it seems likely that at least eight of those who said it is a success were being sarcastic, since seven said Bush’s presidency is only the best since Clinton’s and one named Millard Fillmore.) Twelve percent of all the historians who responded rate the current presidency the worst in all of American history, not too far behind the 19 percent who see it at this point as an overall success.
