I don't know if he directly caused the greatest economic collapse in history, but he sure didn't do anything to stop it.

No child left behind has created a fantastic data set to study educational progress and what works and what doesn't. He tried to fix immigration but was blocked. His opposition to funding stem cell research from aborted fetuses led to research on how to create non embryonic stem cells from other sources which was successful. His initial response to 9/11 was good. He fixed the mess of the emergency response system post Katrina.
