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

Bush's legacy will also reflect he knowing left the southern border wide open so lions and tigers could freely enter the US with the illegal aliens, whom he tried to give amnesty.

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.

He unlike the the previous occupant of the People's Hous is not concrned about polls either. He does what he thinks is right for the country. Only a true leader does that

Many years from now when we and our grandchildren and great granchildren are all gone, history will pronounce him as one of the greatest presidents this country ever had. No matter what the left and some in this forum say

I won’t read it either, because it’s from the Guardian. If Bush single-handedly cured cancer they would accuse him of medical malfeasance...it’s a leftist rag

This is why I added the "Barf Alert"

It’s the Guardian - Pravda West - and one thing we do know is that GWB is NOT concerned with his legacy.

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

the fact is, for better or wrose, this President is not concerned with what people say or think about him.

Let me fix this for you.

The fact is, for better or worse, this President is not the least concerned with what the American people want or think.

Liberals are all about rage. Rage against America. Rage against capitalism. Rage against civilized law. This rage is demonstrated with each car bomb explosion. This rage endangers the lives of my children and grandchildren.

No, liberals are all about nation building, and creating new big government agencies and bombing the enemy with peanutbutter sandwhiches and cash to solve all our problems.

Doesn’t matter if you agree or not. It’s a fact.

Agreed.

Like all presidents he has seemed to veer from certain areas and this has disturbed his formerly loyal supporters. Time will be the judge.

The only thing left to look forward to is the negative, whining, destructive mindset of the pundits, so-called journalists and yes, the Hollywood, pop culture elites. For when GWB is gone there will be a silly old period of "honeymoon". Then the next president will somehow irk their sensitivities.

Good solid critical reporting and opinions are the life blood of democracy. That GWB was confronted with such, is right and proper. It has been obscured by ad hominem and worse. The very nature of the likes of CNN (hallo Wolf, hallo Jack), will force them to continue on hating. Cos' that's what they are- hate mongers.

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.

That must be why he's spending half a billion dollars on his Presidential Library. Maybe it will include a pyramid.

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.

Pity. Wow have you ever let yourself be used.

The pic with his arm around the Hispanic young lady and the other hand holding the Mexican flag was at a Cinco de Mayo Parade in Texas years ago. He was either Gov. or running for it.

In Texas it’s traditional for Anglos to recognize the day Mexico won its independence from France, right alongside Hispanics.

Many Texas politicians of all stripes including the most conservative Republicans have recognized that day. The last GOP governor before Bush, William Clement, is on record officially proclaiming May 5 as “Cinco de Mayo Day” in the entire state of Texas.

It’s a Texas tradition, not a Bush thing per se.

Many Texas Hispanic families have been here longer than my family has. They aren’t all recent immigrants, whether legal or illegal. You’ve heard of the Alamo and San Jacinto, right? Well, in those days many Mexican families already lived in the area we call Texas and a number of them are still here after those long years.

To tie all of that into the illegal immigration issue of more recent years and to tie that all into President Bush is asinine.

To do it on a picture taken completely out of context and flashed around the ‘net as somehow representing either the current illegal immigration mess or else the entirety of the Bush Presidential record is worse than asinine.

I would tell you precisely what it is but don’t use that kind of language.

Bush's legacy is alive and well, I'm afraid...

His legacy will be that of the first American president to allow (and encourage) the invasion of America by a third world dump as he left our borders wide open while constantly warning us that terrorists from the middle east were coming to get us. Putrid.

That is a utterly absurd, really incredibly stupid statement. On Judges alone Bush has done more for the future of Conservatives then all the hysteric :"whaaa I am not getting only 100% of what I want out of politics" Know nothing clowns hanging out on this website will ever do.

Just a few example. Largest tax cuts in history, Largest per capital private home ownership ever, 8.3 million new jobs since April 2003. 46 months of Job creation. Largest sustained period of GDP growth in US History, winning the war on terrorism with fewer US casualties then any similar Counter Insurgency effort, More Conservative appointed to the Judiciary then any other President etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

To compare him to Jimmy Carter shows a complete lack of ANY factual awareness either of what is going on NOW, or what was going on during Jimmy Carter's 1 term. To believe that statement is to be either a complete moron with out a grasp of the simple facts, or a bigoted hysteric fool who simply ignores all factual reality to cling to their own hysteric emotional based opinions.
