Back during the American secession war, everybody thought Abe Lincoln was a crazy warmonger who was only supporting the rich by following a suicidal ideology that was going to ruin the nation while caring little about popularity but somehow won a second term to carry on the fight to its bitter end.

Public opinion is fickle and changes with time.

While i agree that in the future, towards the end of our lives or probably even when we're al dead and gone, Bush will be remembered in a more positive light (he has to, he can't go anywhere but up for christ's sake.) but i don't think his situation will mirror Lincoln's. Bush won't be thought of as one of the greatest presidents, i think he'll reach 'okay' at best. Lincoln also won the war he started, remember. Bush's war cannot be won.
