1. His biggest accomplishment was getting elected. His greatest failure was convincing enough Americans that this was a good idea. This trend extends to major events of his presidency. Iraq: if he has a plan to accomplish something, a reason for our being there, then it is an accomplishment, but since he didn't bother to tell anybody what it actually was, it can only be a failure.

2. His leadership is of the divisive "51%" variety, but this was not so when he was Governer of Texas. He has different advisors now.

From a conservative point of view (I'm not a conservative) his biggest accomplishment was filling so freakin' many empty judge seats with conservative judges. His conservative legacy will be with this nation for decades, as judges have their appointments for life. He filled more vacancies in his first term than Clinton did during his two terms. Hundreds of them. It's amazing what you can do when you hold the White House and Congress both.

His greatest failure is turning the entire world against the USA. Taking the US from a position of one of the most respected and liked nations in the world to the most hated and feared.
