Bush did well his first term because he inherited a robust economy from Bill Clinton. But the Republicans managed to 'screw the pooch' with four years of reactionary legislation led by The Hammer, House Speaker Tom Delay.
In the second term, the economy started to unravel and the Democrats are still trying to fix it. The imbalance of income and wealth between the middle class and the affluent is at record heights.
The Gini coefficient, a sign of Social Instability, is higher than it was during the Great Depression.
The Bush tax cuts for his 'have mores' base primarily increased the deficit. Moody's Economy.com has indicated that extending the Bush tax cuts would not be very stimulative. The GOP is fortunate that the Democrats didn't dump that Bush tax cuts shortly after the Democrats came to power.
