I think Bush is a divider. for instance, the trip to Mars? is it really necessary? Many people don't think it is, and it has not captured the public's imagination, therefore it is not uniting. When Kennedy sent us to the moon, we were in the Cold War, and this was seen as a major victory. Al Qeada is not sending anyone to Mars.
One benefit from Bush is that he he help bring back some life into America's apathetic voters. I think the number of voters will be much higher, and regardless of whether you like him or not, more people participating is a good thing.
Also, about the prescription plan. It is not just designed to help the needy, which everyone supports. It is designed tp give money to everyone, including those who can otherwise afford it. That is the waste. Govt prescription plans are designed to help those who most need it. Bush was hunting for money from the very powerful and wealthy AARP, aho will organize votes for him.
A uniter is a person who joins together. Bush is not a uniter. For instance, he could have compromised on the Kyoto accords. I did not agree with the Kyoto accords as they were written, but compromises could have been made. He just walked away from them and did nothing to make the situation better. That is just one major example of how he divided people in the US and divided the US from much of the rest of the world.
