His biggest failure (some see as success) is the erosion (or attempt of) of our Constitution. Habeas Corpus and the 4th Ammendment come to mind. Nuremburg, Germany showed the world what we stood for. GITMO does the opposite. There is supposed to be a system of checks and balances in our government. The Supreme Court had (barely) the guts to stand up for Habeas Corpus. The House caved on the 4th Ammendment; hopefully the Senate will stand.
His biggest sucess - being a puppet for Cheney. When will the secret energy meetings become public? Bush is an oil man. Cheney is/was on the board of Halliburton (Iraq/Afghanistan). And yet people do not see a correllation.
Bush vowed when he took Presidency to control oil prices. That's when it was $20/barrel. Now we're at $140/barrel. Some control. The companies have 10K+ of leases to drill in (over 39M acres) that they leave standing. Who do you really think are the speculators?
Oh wait - the housing speculators left town.
