When President Bush Jr. dies, how will he be remembered?

Question

Everyone will need to find something nice to say about him, so what will it be?

Answer 1

too early to say. it will depend how iraq goes mostly. at this point probably remembered for uniting country after 9/11 but then becoming very divisive and partisan, dividing the country, and eventually backfired on him with 2006 election

Answer 2

Hopefully he won't die for a long time. How he will be remembered is simply unknown at this time. Questions that need to be answered are:

Will social security be bankrupt and will people be wishing they had a personal account that had been building over the decades, rather than a government account that was spent by politicians?

Is there peace and democracy in the middle east that all started in Iraq?

Is India a prosperous democracy and a strong ally of the US?

Are american schools doing much better because parents were given choice in what school their kids go to forcing bad schools to close and allowing better schools to open?

Are health savings accounts widely in use, giving patients, not insurance companies control over their health care decisions?

Even though the media doesn't report it, the economy under Bush has been spectcular despite the world trade center being destroyed, the worst natural disaster in our country's history, and the worst corporate scandals in our countries history. That should be part of his legacy.

Getting two strong conservatives on the supreme court is certainly a major achievement that will benefit the country for many years to come.

Bush had some successes, and even more great ideas. His greatest failing has been his inability to get his ideas translated into law.

Those are my thoughts. They're just guesses though.

Answer 3

President Bush will likely be remembered as having one of the most scandal-riddled administrations of all time.

And as far as "standing up to the terrorists" - that's a total joke. The United States ROUTINELY supports terrorists and terrorist states when it suits our purposes - including right wing death squads in El Salvador and Guatemala, Islamic extremists both Sunni and Shia, etc.

Bush will be remembered as a president whose curiosity was woefully lacking - he states, with some misplaced pride, that he doesn't read newspapers or magazines.

While Jr's incompetence puts him in a different catagory of failed U.S. presidents, he will probably be remembered as a puppet of more learned (but no less vicious) individuals like Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Answer 4

A puppet of the puppet master Dick Cheney as Bush will be remembered as the most arrogant as well as bull headed backwards president the United States has ever had. If it wasn't that they needed a fall guy for the PNAC Bush has been a failure in life in general, as he has screwed up everything he has touched and now he has screwed the United States financially as well.

Keep on loving him some of you, you'll love him when you national debt is at $35,000 per American, bend over some more so Corporate America can screw you some more.

Answer 5

He is the current president he got my respect for that but after he leaves office I will be happy to forget he ever existed. I will call the Bush part two years as the forgotten but not missed years good riddens.

Answer 6

I can rest assure you, not everyone will find something nice to say about him.

That said, how about something like:

He was very well regarded in some parts of the country, particularly in places where praying with snakes, marrying your sisters, and tying gay black people to the back of your pick up trucks still hadn't fallen out of favor.

Answer 7

Well, that will all depend on HOW he dies, now won't it? Why don't you get your conspiracy theorists started on the ways that Bush could die a martyr, and therefore a hero of the people?

It seems almost his only choice left, doesn't it.

Answer 8

He had the guts to stand up to terrorists despite being subjected to ridicule. He would have had a much easier life if he had only capitulated to the enemies of freedom and made another attempt at peace in our time.

President Bush joins a small group of courageous politicians; who did not shirk their responsibilities to freedom and fought against tyranny despite endless ridicule, Reagan, Churchill, Blair Thatcher, John Paul II and Brian Mulroney. It would have been easier to just get by then to join this group but it may well have cost us the planet.

Answer 9

President Bush, Jr. ????

Answer 10

What can they possibly make up to make him look good? He only had less than 10,000 americans killed in Iraq? Or he only was responsible for 50,000 iraqi men, women and children being killed? Guess we can remember how good a christian he was.
