Every president should be viewed under the microscope of what they made and did well after they leave office.
As some have said, Clinton was a pretty crappy caretaker president that really didn't do anything great, or anything far too horrible (although I'd argue he mis-handled his opportunities).
Bush will be viewed 10 years from now based on the messes he created, or fixed. What if Iraq becomes a bastion for Democracy because we stayed the course, and becomes a true archetype for secular Muslim democracies (alongside Turkey)?
Bush has been butchered by the media, not for the fact he was bad, but because they wanted to make him look bad. I believe that, 10-20 years from now, people will look back and realize he did a few bad things, a few OK things, a few good things, and a few great things. His worst act(s) of presidency will be the lack of fiscal control of the government (by breaking his promise to control spending), while his better ones will be his tax cuts, and eventually (I believe) his handling of terrorism in the post 9/11 world.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
