His greatest accomplishment, to me, will always be taking the advice of General Petraeus, and despite a 30% approval rating and numerous people within his OWN administration disagreeing with him, not to mention all the Democrats, putting more troops in Iraq and turning the WHOLE campaign around in months.
Cheney has openly talked that he felt Bush pushed him out of the way during his 2nd term. Geez, I wonder why.
A President that will always be remembered, that is for sure. Rightly or wrongly.

i don't see how history won't remember Bush as one of the worst presidents of our time. from preying on Americans fears to start a war in Iraq, to completely ignoring Bin Laden, to criminal negligence during the worst natural disaster in US history. then to top it all off he inherited the largest government surplus in US history from Clinton and managed to turn it into the largest deficit in history, and then having a massive recession to hit at the end of his reign as a cherry on top
i can't think of one positive thing that happened as a result of his presidency. from the Patriot Act to No Child Left Behind, everything he touched was a disaster
