What will be the legacy for President Bush? Could it be his war on terrorists? Probably not.
Over 4,000 Americans have died in his effort to "keep America safe." He has misled the people to war and de-stabilized the oil industry.
He also allowed credit card companies to overextend credit then changed bankruptcy laws to protect credit card companies.
Let's not forget the mortgage companies and the subprime loans to people who were high risk and would never have received loans from respectable company.
We are in an economic recession with people losing jobs at a rate not seen in decades.
Maybe his legacy will be in foreign policy. Maybe we should poll the rest of the world on this one. We are now viewed as arrogant Americans, not the leaders of the world we had been.
His legacy will be that he took care of his own kind and his own interests first, leaving the burden to pay his debt to the people he is suppose to represent.
