Positive: Other countries know he wont hesitate to use military.
Negative: He is an awful negotiator and has no understanding of foreign cultures.
Bottom Line: A very dangerous man

It's hard to believe there could be any debate about the answer to this question. The answer is WORSE, much worse actually. What can you name that he has done to improve the country? People are struggling to pay for gas, healthcare, tuition...2500 soldiers are dead. Something like 16,000 are wounded. More than 30,000 Iraqis are dead. This is a war with no end in sight and the reasons we are there change every day. Hurricane Katrina showed the incompetence of this administration in handling domestic security/emergency response. We had a horse trainer running FEMA! Stem Cells which have the potential to save lives and end suffering are not allowed to be federally funded because of simple minded right wind idealogues. The rights of all citizens are eroding with domestic spy programs tracking all of our phone records, pharmacists thinking they can deny a woman the right to receive birth control, and homosexuals being treated as second class citizens. This administration allows the oil execs to make the energy policy and the drug companies get in on the medicare reform bill to lie about the cost, gouge seniors, and drive us further into debt. He sat, doing nothing, for 7 minutes after hearing that america was under attack. He couldn't be found to give an order about whether or not the military could shoot down hijacked aircraft. He is no leader. He has failed miserably. I agree that the fulleffects of his terrible policies won't truly be realized until after he's out of office, but to say you can't make any judgements now is ridiculous. Is America better now than it was at the end of the Clinton adminisstration or worse? Duh.
Oh, and if you say he's made it better, please oh please, cite specific factual evidence on what he has done to make it better. Slamming liberals just shows that you have nothing intelligent to say.

Both, better and worse.
Better: fight the terrorists over in the Middle East and not here in America.
Worse: Our borders and our culture are underattack and Bush isn't doing a @#$!@ thing about it.
Better: He put 2 good judges on the Supreme Court.
Worse: He doesn't lead the nation.
Worse: He doesn't lead the Republican party.

Worse, alot worse. We're in a war we can't win, which is costing us $2,000,000,000 a week. The federal deficit is at an all time high. Illegal immigrants are flooding into this country from every corner of the earth, he has NO energy policy, he has severely weakened all environmental laws, he's screwed up social security, and he's a liar.

Better in some respect worst in others. Better because he is not a apeaser history has shown that apeasment leads to a temporary peace but eventually leads to war, full employment low inflation. Worse in respect to our open borders and high government spending, I quess no one is perfect.

He is making it worse. He claims that he is spreading democracy across the world, but when Hamas won the election, he gets all mad. When Hamas won, it was democracy working! Also, he has most of the world seeing U.S. as a country that wants to stick it's nose in everyone's business, but can't take care of its own country. And I won't even go into his lack of manners AKA talking with food in your mouth!!

Definitely worse. He's taking an "if you're not for us, you're against us" attitude, when he should know that other countries have to look out for themselves and their people, too. He's curtailing our freedoms, supposedly to preserve us. What is it worth to live in a free country if our freedoms aren't given to us?

People don't understand. It takes 8 years to see the effects of the current president or congress. We won't know til the end of his presidency.
