President Bush's comments this week that he regrets some parts of his current historical legacy is still a showcase of the unfortunate arrogance that has dominated and ruined his entire tenure in office. His stubborn views of the past seven years of running the government demonstrate that he does not question his terrible policy decisions at all. Instead, all of his regrets are related to his belief that he did not "sell" his policies properly to America and it's allies. What he does not seem to understand is that the American people are against his bad policies themselves and would not have sold on them even if he and his top officials had done a better job in marketing. President Bush's main legacy will always be that of an arrogant leader who thought he was above dealing with the details of policymaking and who left those details to people in his administration who used unethical means to promote their corrupt agenda in the world. Even if the ultimate net result in Iraq and Afghanistan and the lousy American economy and every other major policy failure somehow turn around in the near future as President Bush desperately hopes, this will never salvage his reputation. He will always be remembered as one of the worst presidents ever, period.
