Bush is clearly doing very poorly. So far as I'm concerned he's the worst President of my generation.
The impact of a President's policies and laws he (and perhaps someday "she") puts into place takes years to affect the country. A President doesn't walk into office and fixes everything in six months. It's a very time consuming process. While I liked Clinton, it's possible that Bush was forced to deal with a handful of failed polices left over from Clinton.
Also keep in mind that Bush guided us through one of the most difficult periods of our history - 9/11. I thought he did pretty well considering he looks like a donkey.
When Clinton was impeached I was pretty pissed. He got a blow job; That's no one's business except for his wife. He lied under oath but the questions asked should have never been asked and had no bearing on anything; The people who caused this should have been removed from office and perhaps put in prision.
There is dicussion about Bush being impeached. Bush is doing very poorly but this is not grounds for impeachment. Thankfully the President can only remain in office for no more than eight years and he'll be removed from office shortly. Perhaps then we'll see a decent change.
