Might be over the top a little but Bob makes some good points.
President Bush has been less than impressive in pushing his domestic agenda and dealings with the RATS and RINOS. Considering everything on his plate he has done a pretty good job overall. Worst prez in history? I think not.
Sometimes, the things that seem the smartest at the moment are not—and the things that seem downright stupid at the time appear pretty prescient. Emotions are for now, but consequences are forever.
That being said...not very many people have been proved brilliant by misunderestimating GW. The man is almost unbelievably patient. (Obviously more patient than most of us) And he works harder than it looks. I would never bet against him at this point.
Oh...and he has an uncanny knack for being very polite—but I'm not sure I would necessarily describe him as nice.
