I understand that's your opinion - while the news media and political pundits do make these types of observations during and soon after the end of someone's term. I just don't agree with the wisdom of it from my point of view as a history major and someone with a rather broad base of knowledge in Presidential politics (and politics as a whole).
History may say that Bush's presidency was a success or that it was a failure, or that it was something in between, but I don't agree with these final judgments so early, whether it's a negative judgment or a positive judgment. Once the Presidential papers are released, and more information is available, then I'll be more comfortable making a judgment one way or another.
