He couldn't possibly be any worse than George Bush.

An odd thing is that one of the best things to happen to George W. Bush's approval rating was the election of Barack Obama ...

I'm (somewhat) joking; but, without the constant bashing and with time to consider the difficult/complexity of his presidency, many people are starting to realize that he was wasn't as bad of a president as some people made him out to be.

If you study the historical rankings of president, you'll notice that the sooner they are from retired, the more sevre their ranking is either good or bad.

For example, George Bush Senior was ranked 31st best President in 1994.  Behind people like Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover.

He's since settled in to the 18th-22 range.
