As the door begins to close on his tenure, Bush is increasingly drawing on selected events of the past to argue that history will vindicate him on Iraq, terrorism, trade and other controversial issues.
Historical analogies have become a staple of Bush speeches and interviews this year, whether he is addressing regional leaders in Egypt or talking to workers at an office park in suburban St. Louis.
Unfortunately for the president, many historians have already reached a conclusion. In an informal survey of scholars this spring, just two out of 109 historians said Bush would be judged a success; a majority deemed him the "worst president ever."
I know that Presidents are often insulated from criticisms and not really connected to the negative outcomes of their policy decisions, but has any President EVER been as clueless as this guy?
he will be vindicated === the 25% that still thinks he is a good prez, will drop to 0% at some point
