The neoconservative historical revisionists will fail.

[Scam of God]

There's been a big media push in the last week or two suggesting that Bush's legacy will inevitably improve, because Iraq will inevitably stabilize and it is inevitable that this will be the only thing on which Bush's future legacy rests. This fairly well smacks of a media blitz by the big neoconservative tanks - the American Enterprise Institute, Project for a New American Century, etc. - and it rather makes sense, given that they're all former Communists and revisionism was a major problem in Russia after Stalin's death. You can put lipstck on a pig, etc.

This might be possible - if the Iraq War were the only thing in his Presidency which was controversial. With the economy in freefall, any attempt by the right-wing to do what they did to Nixon (and, to be fair, what the Democrats did for Carter) will fail. More to the point, however, what these morons fail to realize is that any stabilization of Iraq during Obama's watch will lead the court of public opinion to judge him favorably, because, rightly or wrongly, he will be viewed as the one who did it.

Let it be so.

Not really. They managed to paint Reagan(who was worse both short and long term than CarteR) as a secular god.

[Stranger in a strange land]

To be fair, Carter and Nixon both have pretty bad reputations, though not as bad as when they left office. Katrina and the Economic Crisis ended any chance that Bush would be seen positively in the future. Add to that future generations are much more likely to see him as asleep at the switch on 9/11.

Revisionism was a big problem in the Soviet Union after Stalin!?

I think this fellow is suffering from some kind of head injury.

PNAC isn't making a big media push because it barely even exists anymore.  And please explain how AEI is neoconservative and not just regular old conservative..

His image will improve.  Like I've said before (not on here) - people are emotional about Bush right now.  You have the ACLU director making dumb comments like he's the "worst President for civil liberties" in U.S. history.  Clearly, FDR's Japanese internment, and Adams' Alien and Sedition Acts and Wilson's Sedition Acts (were over 50 newspapers were shut down) were worse than Bush.

Unless we all collectively forget that there have been problems in the financial sector, history won't see Bush well.

They haven't seen Hoover well at all, and few people are alive to remember him.
