"Bush" himself didn't screw up the country then. He was just given credit for it. Obama on the other hand has been a one man wrecking ball...

Presidents always look better after the fact when they have no real or imagined power over you. George H. Bush is generally liked and respected now. No so much when he was voted out of office

When was Bush voted out of office?? Bush was blamed for the Iraq war. He did so with the intelligence he was given. The same intelligence that the congress used to support the war in Iraq.

Don't count on it...there is a huge mess to dig out of and there are rumors that they may extend Quantitative Easing enough where when they stop it, it will dump on the next president. Furthermore, there are some bad aspects to Obamacare that won't kick in for a few years, which could also hurt the next guy.

He /she will have to have great political skills. Only Clinton and Reagan have shown that in modern presidents. Politic is after all is still the art of compromise . I look for someone new who is not already defined as Hillary is by association.

It's been a great 6 years after the departure of the idiot frat boy from Texas. And I think we can both agree that Hillary is certainly qualified and will do a great job in 2017!

George H. Bush was voted out of office in 1992.
