Other than being the cause of mass exodus from the Repub party..
Which would include those such as myself (although I was registered Libertarian I voted Republican nearly 90% of the time) I'd say Bush did a great job of basically pushing anyone with common sense out of the repub party.

A jobless economy to a $6 an hour Bush jobs economy.

5. He's managed to unite the peoples of the world
...against the USA. It's quite an achievement, overcoming all that good will post 9/11.

He's managed to get more and more people looking at the major media with extreme skepticism than years of Lamebawl's inaccurate spew about nonexistent bias managed.

He's managed to thoroughly discredit the GOP as the part of fiscal responsibility.

6. He has accomplished alot
too bad it was all bad stuff. He got most of his tax cut, which was a really bad idea. He got most of the reforms he wanted in the security area, a mixed bag. He did win back the Senate for the Republicans but he had lost it in the first place which leaves him even. In short, he has been a moderately effective President at getting his agenda passed. His agenda is woeful.
