Oh, I didn't say that. The Bush Administration has been a sucking disaster, both domestically and in our relations to other countries, and it has done real and lasting damage to the country.
I just don't care for the term "failed presidency". Look, it was (er... will have been) eight years long. It was a whole presidency. The man succeeded at being president. Didn't, IMO, succeed at much else, but nobody can argue he didn't succeed at becoming and being the president. So his presidency obviously didn't fail. Most every initiative or policy did. But not the presidency itself. He's president. No two ways about that.
