It'll be interesting to see how he's judged even 10 years from now. But interestingly enough, this article, from a NY Times writer essentially admits that his successor won by blaming him and that now, that blame may not entirely be justified.
Go figure.
Since one can make the case for liberty lost in the name of DHS, Patriot Act, His actions are nothing more than an abysmal failure.
Added the bail outs it is nothing more than a candy coated democrat lite administration, fraught with treason, and anti-constitutional power grabs.
After so much money that went to "too big to fail" corporations who the hell did it really help?
bump for later
Imagine what obammy's rating would be if exposed to the same treatment by the media as Bush. Single digits for sure.

But over the past year, polling data has begun to suggest that Bush is no longer quite the liability he once was for the GOP, and that most Americans no longer see the current economy as something Obama inherited.
Since April, Bushs favorable rating has averaged 49.3
Still suffering from BDS I see.
Now that Bush came out last summer and intimated that people who were against gay marriage are bad, I’m sure the media will view him more favorably. If he comes out full bore anti-conservative and anti-Christian like he’d like to, is stock will go way up.
Heck, by comparison to Obama, our seasoned citizens should remember the good ole Carter years. Are we gonna regress all the way back to Nixon with his wage and price controls ? Ah. The Nixon years, where the EPA and AGW all got their start. The EPA is their church. Anti-humanism is their religion. And the AGW theory is their bible. And apparently the Koch Bros are their Emmanuel Goldstein. So we have regressed back to 1980. Boy do we need a Reagan now.
He’s a RINO and was a poor leader. He looks good now only because Obama is the worst President in history.
Much in the way a filthy pond with garbage floating in it would look pretty good if you were on fire.
That’s how its always been done - vilify the guy with the hard medicine and apologize to him over the corpse.
