"Failure" is a word for the historians. We're too close to the events now to have a clear picture. You'll notice that all of the "failed" presidents have released the majority of the documents of their presidencies for study.
I also agree with ratbastid that presidencies can't really "fail". The union is intact and the country exists basically as it did prior to W taking office. There is no immanent threat of disolution. Sorry, but I just can't buy into the idea that any 4 year administration can be a "success" or "failure" in political terms.
