I say keep him.
The economy he inherited from Clinton was crap. 9/11 kicked the economy while it was down, but now the GDP growth was revised upward to 3.3%. We are out of the recession, and the economy is growing at a respectable rate. I realize the job market is slow, but it is a lagging indicator.
As for Iraq, I was against it from day 1, but he didn't lie about it...ever! He talked about intelligence, which every education person knows is partially made up of educated guesses. True, intelligence said there were weapons, and it is looking like they won't be found. The fact remains that Bush did not lie.
Overally, I give Bush a 7 out of 10. Not great, but moving in the right direction. He has been a step up from Clinton!
