What a load of bravo sierra.

Bush’s legacy will be that he saved the USA from a lot of foxes and wolves pulling at our tendons.

[God luvs America]

I won’t even bother reading it...the fact is, for better or wrose, this President is not concerned with what people say or think about him....more power to him...

[Sender]

The history books won't list trivialities such as "Libby backlash" as part of Bush's legacy. On a positive note, he has saved us from further terror so far. On a negative note, he hasn't secured the borders. So the Bush legacy is still not yet written.

One thing I'm sure of, it will be impossible to make the "Bush lied" and "culture of corruption" mantras stick to this man when all is said and done.

And they won't find any interns under the desk.

Legacy = Islamic Republics of Afghanistan and Irak. That’s gotta make his Born Again self proud.

[RightWhale]

his isolation has been exposed as never before

It's quite an image, the Pres of the US isolated. Who on earth has more contact with humanity every day with this and that? Maybe the Pope.

[ishabibble]

I rate this delusional mess....THREE PINK GOODIE BAGS!

[I still care]

You know, Bush has never struck me as the type who is concerned at all about a legacy. He seems like the type who just plugs away and leaves it up to God.

[abclily]

What Libby backlash? The majority of Americans saw that Libby had been Nifonged.

[roses of sharon]

LOL, what a load of pap, sounds like a leftwing movie script.

What’s the barf alert for? I can’t agree with some of the wording but “W” is nearing Jimmy Carter status for ineptitude.
He has shown himself to be an Eastern establishment, liberal leaning Republican. His position on immigration placed him far outside the desires of his party’s base plus his position was greatly removed from much of the Democrat party.
If the President is worried about his place in history more than doing what is good for the country he should step down now.
I don’t think Harry Truman ever worried about how history would portray him. He just did what he thought was right for America. Can you imagine a president today making the decision to drop a bomb knowing that tens of thousands of people would die from such action?
When did this legacy crap come into presidential decision making? The legacy comes from doing what is good for the nation, not what is good for the short term, during the remainder of a President’s life.

As this weeks pardoning of Libby shows, the Leftist propagandists here and abroad underestimate Bush at their own peril. They seem to forget the President is a co-equal branch of the Federal Govt., not Congress’s whipping boy.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

More defections are expected, and Mr Bush cuts a lonely figure, holed up in the White House fretting over his legacy.....I doubt it and to hell with his legacy! All he has to do is listen to the people who elected him instead of Big Business and whack liberals like Kennedy. If he is going to do “his own thing” then is legacy will be a big goose egg....

[bray]

His legacy is secure and that is what makes PravdABDNC crazy. Their hero has a blue dress and President Bush has 50 million freed slaves.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[ozzymandus]

Didn’t read it, and I doubt Bush would either. The only Presidents I know of who obsessed with their legacies were the utter failures carter and clinton.

[television is just wrong]

lol, the clintoons are still trying to figure out what happened during their term.

[LucyJo]

"More defections are expected, and Mr Bush cuts a lonely figure, holed up in the White House fretting over his legacy."

Gag me! George W. Bush has had many false accusations hurled at him. "Fretting over his legacy" ranks near the top.

I've disagreed with the president on some issues, but I've never doubted that his decisions are grounded in his personal conviction to do what he believes is right according to the information provided to him.

He'll trust his legacy to God, imo. Prayer forestalls loneliness and fretting. The president has said he is a prayerful man, so I doubt he'll be "holed up", fretting uselessly over his legacy, or anything else.

All believers in the power of prayer should be praying with him and for him. There is a reason we are commanded to pray for those in positions of power.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

On the plus side, the President clearly understands that we are in a generational war against Islamic extremism. Planting the seeds of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq may ultimately lead to victory.
Domestically, his tax rate reductions allowed the American people the freedom we needed to rise out of the Clinton Recession. The tax rate reductions have created jobs and increased revenues to the federal government. And he made two great picks for the Supreme Court.
On the negative side, amnesty for the illegals would have destroyed this nation, creating a liberal democrat monopoly in government. The prescription drug program is another government fiasco.

[djf]

My tagline says it all.

I don’t think history will be kind to shrub. Unpopular war, major attack on American soil, spending like a drunken sailor...

I think he’s a decent man who is in over his head and has some advisors that are less than scrupulous.

[SuziQ]

*snort* Somehow I don’t think the President is agonizing over what the Guardian thinks about anything, much less his ‘legacy’.
