The first challenge that GW will face is reading the documents that are placed in front of him... All those words and no pictures...

Wheh bush lines up for his criminal fingerprinting, I'm sure the japanese just won't quite be able to get their heads around the idea that this guy is president of the United States.

"There are fewer than 200 days left in his term, and Bush’s dwindling presidency is a major factor hanging over the meetings involving leaders from Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada at a Group of Eight summit in Toyako."

Laugh at the MSM here. Except for England every country in this group is now under conservative leadership. Brown's days are numbered, and not in the same way Bush's are.

Though his tenure was tumultuous, he is on the verge of closing in on the last major remnant of the Cold War - the 6way talks and the DPRK. His Administration will be noted for participating and engendering an important security dialogue which may develop into something more important - time will tell. He attends the G8 meeting on the verge of a resolution in the 6way talks - the 6way talks bolster his standing at the G8 Meeting. Looks good, but still not final.

If Bush had a decent bone in his body, he'd simply quit and confine his disastrous tenure as supposed "leader of the free world" (ha ha) to the dustbin of history, where it belongs.

He has increased the vulnerability of his country, and the world, to terrorism, he has talked about energy independence when actually making his country MORE dependent on imported oil, he has set back the fight against climate change at least 8 years, probably more, by acting in denial of overwhelming scientific evidence, he has reduced tax on the rich and done nothing to improve the lot of the poor and he has encouraged the religious wackos who wish to replace the teaching of demonstrable science - i.e. evolution through natural selection - with fairy stories about creation and "intelligent design".

He has an entirely consistent record - one of consistent failure.

worst president in my lifetime, and, if there were a way to measure these things, probably one of the bottom-three of all time

Fact is whatever bush commits to the next president can just ignore it.

"worst president in my lifetime"

You must have been born after 2001.

"Fact is whatever bush commits to the next president can just ignore it"

That's not a fact, that's fantasy.

Well, this Administration can concentrate on the Middle East, as w/ the G8 b/c this is the APEC Realm - we are working together and getting the job done. We are kicking the holy crap out of poverty and disease. The past can't be changed, but the future definately can be molded better.

There are some real "bad dudes" making things happen over here.
