Yes, many decades from now George Bush will be remembered more for his bushisms than any single one of the litany of disasters.

"You know, I'm the President during this period of time, but I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so, before I arrived in President, during I arrived in President."
