Far too early to answer the question. But he can never be as divisive to us or the world as Bush. Bush squandered a huge amount of good will felt toward the US after 9/11 and turned us [him and our government] into one of the least liked or trusted in the world. Very sad legacy.
Serving in the military and serving on many NATO exercises since 1989, I can tell you with a great amount of certainty, the majority of the world has never liked America or Americans.
President Bush has nothing to do with this. I cannot believe the amount of blame people just want to throw at President Bush. Do you blame clinton for 9-11? All of the planning and staging for this happened during his watch. President Bush had not been in office long enough for it to happen during his time in office. 9-11 was not a "world uniting" event! It was a cowardly act carried out by cowards who were backed by cowards who are now running for their lives because we had a President that decided it was not "OK" to attack us on our land.
I had friends who died on the USS Cole, do you know how many of those responsible are in jail or have been brought to justice, ZERO! clinton did nothing, but I bet all those responsible just loved us until President Bush ruined our reputation with the world.
President Bush was far from perfect, and I did not agree with a lot of what he had to say and what he did. However, I wish he had been President when this happened, at least justice would have been served.
