President Bush's memoir Decision Points goes on sale today. A CNN poll found that only two per cent more people thought President Obama was a better president than his predecessor. At souvenir shops in Washington T-shirts are now for sale with Mr Bush's image and the question: "Miss Me Yet?"
Well, do you? How do you judge President Bush now? Have you changed your opinion in any way since he left office? Here's what President Bush said about his legacy in an interview with Matt Lauer:
I hope I'm judged a success. But I'm gonna be dead, Matt, when they finally figure it out. Andrew Roberts thinks history will be kind to Bush's legacy:
The first is that history, by looking at the key facts rather than being distracted by the loud ambient noise of the 24-hour news cycle, will probably hand down a far more positive judgment on Mr Bush's presidency than the immediate, knee-jerk loathing of the American and European elites
Any president who found himself in the position and situation President Bush found himself in and didn’t act as Bush did, is a weekling. I miss George.

Abiy Hailu emailed - He will be remembered like Harry Truman - a president who faced the toughest decisions. His reaction to 9/11 - invading Afghanistan - is like Truman against Japan

I’m sure America would be calling 4 d head of Pres. Bush had he been president of a country other than d US. This is d man he gave so much in d cause ofAfrican children with one hand, n destroy d future of Iraqi n Afghan children with d other. Reflecting on d Bush presidency seems more like a nightmare. -missing Fragment-
