He's been bad, there is no doubt. However, I think his legacy depends on the future stability of Iraq.

The problems with the economy are too far-reaching to be blamed on one person. I think there are many elected officals and greedy corprate aholes to blame for that.

That's what bugs me about all the Bush bashing. I don't disagree he's been horrible for the economy, but he's had plenty of help. Why aren't the rest implicated as well? Congress has had a lower approval rating than him, yet many of them flew right under the radar on the way to re-election this fall.

because the percieved power of the President of the US is extremely overrated. I look at the position of the Presidency and equate it to that of the NFL Quarterback. If the team loses, who catches the majority of the blame? They lead so they blamed when things go wrong, which is the case for many leaders, whether in business, sports, or government.

There are many people to blame for the climate of our country, not just the President...eventhough he has been a poor president.

LOL! Well okay then, it's settled... ;^)

What a train wreck. The more f****d up everything gets (or is perceived to be getting) the easier it is for Obama to take as long as he wants to to try to fix it. Not sure if that is a good thing, as he's not done anything yet. He'll be selling his second term before he's inaugurated for his first.
