I think Bush will be most remembered for making the United States safer after 911 by creating Homeland Security and for his war on terror.

I think he will go down in history much like Herbert Hoover. The stock market crash and the panic that followed in 2008 will be his lasting legacy.

He will most be remembered for taking over a country that was at peace with a growing economy and a growing budget surplus and, within 8 years, wrecking it.

Bush didn't directly wreck the economy. By his malfeasance, he allowed others to wreck the banking system due to their own greed.

Long term (several decades) historical view will be 9-11 and his immediate reactions and the fact that there were no terrosit attacks on US soil for the balance of his term.

He will be remembered as the first President since Pearl Harbor who was at the helm when United States soil was attacked and for starting a war with Iraq with lies/deceptions/manufactored evidence because he could not find/kill Ossama bin Laden.

Lightbulb President Bush Will be Most Remembered for....

two things in particular:

1. incompetence

2. negligence

No other president in living memory compares on either count.

His legacy is: the guy who drove America into the ditch.
