Until that time, a shroud of mystery will hang over the events of Bush's presidency. But after that time, it will likely be clear who is responsible for all the scandals that have transpired during his terms in office.

History will actually 20/20 hindsight at that point, and Bush will be judged accordingly.

But really, I don't have to wait until that time to render my verdict. The piss-poor appointments of incompetents, the amount of spending, the blocking of legislation, the misguided threats and rhetoric, the soiling of America's reputation around the world.....

All of these are enough to me to draw the conclusion that Bush is/was a horrible president.
