Bush legacy - trade, budget deficits, losing to euro, and view of US's global role 'worse'

"The number of those who said the US was a positive influence in the world fell in 18 nations polled in previous years."

Oh, yes, we're safer. More people hate the US more deeply, al-Qaeda controls areas of Iraq, called "havens", which didn't exist, Afghanistan is a disaster on the order of Iraq, record budget deficits which aren't as bad as some of his earlier ones, and trade deficits to the point they could easily destabilize the economy.

On top of that, he lost a two-bit war. The US didn't even win a war. All that hatred and distrust, all that money wasted, in a completely losing cause.

What a legacy. I'll bet not even his mother is proud of him. 'Cause George really screwed it up for Jeb, the smarter one. Who would ever vote for a Bush again?
