Interesting take on the Bush presidency and how it will potentially be viewed cnn.com snip <<"If you imagine that an Iraq in 10,15 years is actually a vibrant, stable democracy and other countries neighboring it move in that direction ... I think you'd have a strong Bush revisionism," Zelizer said. "How things unfold in coming decades can help repair a battered presidency," he added. Kellerman said that while many will credit Bush for taking charge of democracy-spreading, his "incompetence" will still be noted. "The level of incompetence after the initial 'mission accomplished' was so acute that my guess is, even if the decision to invade might be historically justified, the incompetence that succeeded it ... I think that's going to be very difficult to ever alter our negative perception of that.">> With this in mind, I have to really wonder who Bush really wanted to replace him. To me, his legacy as president really comes down to how good a job Obama does in the next 4-8 years as president and how he extricates us from the 2 wars we are presently fighting on foreign soil and from the financial mess that both sides had a hand in creating but since it happened on Bush's watch, he will get blamed(and rightfully so in my opinion) for most of it.
