charlie,
Do you honestly believe that Iraq has a decent chance to end up as anything better than the current disaster that it already is?

He will be down there in the lower ranks with Warren Harding.

I am amazed that people still cling to the idea that the economy is booming when 2 of the largest money investment and banking companies in the world have CEOs resigning in disgrace over their falling values in the last week. Oil is approaching an all time high by anyones estimate and the housing market is plummeting.
We are in a war that cost hundreds of billions a year.
Terrorist attack targets daily across the world.
Osama Bin Laden roams free and is not a priority to be caught.
Millions of unregistered illegal aliens roam our country freely despite our "enhanced" security.
Someone explain to me how these are successes.
I place Bush 2 places behind Spiro Agnew and yes I know exactly who he was and what position he filled.

He would be #43 on that scale.
Iraq: I think that after we eventually leave the violence will flare up again and perhaps get worse. I think it will be just like so many other nations where the U.S. has tried "nation building" without knowing hardly anything about the culture and history of the country. The ancient factions will continue to hate and kill and our politicians will continue to lie about "progress" in the region.
Eventually some dictator-like leader will seize power in Iraq again and may unify the people either through force or through a common goal of pushing the U.S. infidels further out of their nation.
Perhaps a new Sec. of State from the U.S. will go bargain with him and sell him technology and wheat in exchange for Iraqi oil and our leaders will be all kissy-face, once again, with an Iraqi dictator.
Sound familiar? That's because the world has sung this tune many times before in the Middle East. A moderate is shuffled into place by the U.S., then our moderate is pushed out of place by the people or the military and replaced by a dictator.
Then we go kiss-up to the dictator in spite of how we "love" democracy.
It's the same old BS.

Depends if Iraq ends up working in the end or not. Currently i would say he would be ranked in the high thirties behind carter, johnson, and clinton since he was impeached and only two have been before. Always wondered how popular presdents like roosevelt wilson and lincon were during thier wars.

Well If 43 is the high, then I would rank him around 40. He fails in communication. He is the best president we have ever had.

He would defiantly be one of the last five, but those who are saying the worst forget how many bad presidents we have had in the last 200 years.
Herbert Hoover? Nixion? That is in the 20th century alone.

I bet history will put him somewhere in the 20's. He did a good job with the economy (the tax cuts spurred a lot of economic growth and increased the number of jobs) and appointed some pretty bright minds to the US Supreme Court.
However, the handling of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was a complete disaster. Also, he didn't do anything to secure the border.
