Do you like Bush? -- Not really, he comes across as too hard headed at a time when compromise is greatly in need. He also seems to have an inability to swallow his pride which is a very important quality in a leader.
The way I see it though, it's impossible to form an opinion on his presidency at this point in time. At least an intelligent one anyway. Granted the tea leaves have not been in his favor these past few years but history will be the true test of his "legacy". I'd feel alot more comfortable making a judgment on his administration's policy twenty years from now.
TBH what I really loathe is the media. In my opinion the worst thing that has happened to the US is this partisan, draw a line in the sand, kindergarten behavior that our media so readily facilitates. We need to work together for the greater good not bicker amongst ourselves.
Divided we will fall. It's as simple as that.
