Cafferty: Pres. Bush's legacy?

WATCH "The Cafferty File": Pull Gitmo funds?.

How concerned should President Bush be about his legacy?
Bush legacy? If I were President Bush, I would be making plans to move to Switzerland in January '09. He will undoubtedly go down in history as an abject failure. Shame on the American people for electing this man twice. -Paul, Monroe, New York

President Bush should only be concerned about his legacy if he feels down deep in his heart that he failed the American people. Legacies are developed over a long period of time in order to view the actions of the leader relative to the impact the actions have on history and shaping the future and not dependent upon the sound bites of the news media. History will judge President Bush and that is something for which we will just have to wait. -Jerry, Alpharetta, Georgia

If Bush was really concerned about how history would judge him, he would have made capturing or killing Osama bin Laden a more important priority than going after Iraq. -Randolph, Lexington, Kentucky

President Bush's legacy was lost the moment Iraq was bombed. The next president's legacy will be based around cleaning up Bush's mess. And the same with the president after that and after that. -Brian, Nova Scotia

What's the future of Senator John McCain's presidential campaign?
McCain's presidential future is going to be the same as the Bush policies he continues to support... a complete failure. -Ray, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Dear Mr. Cafferty, Your constant dribble from your skewed point of view is so tiresome. I would suggest taking a deep breath and check some other sources than the same old left-leaning ones. Try some real, hard working Americans from the real world. John McCain would be one of the best presidents in our lifetime if elected. If not, it will be our misfortune. There is still time left for the senator and with comments like "say goodnight, John" it certainly does not help his candidacy. -John, Eugene, Oregon

Jack, There is no future for Senator McCain. Because of his continued support for the war in Iraq, the wheels have come off the bus. -Mary Beth, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

George McGovern says he's not sure an anti-war Democrat can win in '08. Is he right?
Of course he's right, Jack. If it begins to look like an anti-war candidate will win, you can bet all hell will break loose around the globe, terror attacks, etc., to scare the voters back to their senses. Of course it would all be a coincidence. -Joe, Round Hill, Virginia

McGovern is wrong in this case. Sentiment against this war is so much deeper now than even during Vietnam. Back then, those of us who were baby boomers were generally opposed. The WWII generation was more "my country, right or wrong". Today there is broad opposition to this unjust and unnecessary war. I believe we, as a nation, have advanced beyond the simplistic view we had in the '60s and '70s. -Bob, Houston, Texas

McGovern is right only if we allow him to be. If we allow the rhetoric of morality and righteousness to dominate the debate like we did in 2000 and 2004, McGovern is right. If we vote on the Bible instead of the Constitution, McGovern is right. If we allow the apathy of generation x to flourish, McGovern is right. If all voters pledge to bring just one holdout to the polls, I am hopeful McGovern is wrong. -Andrew, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

McGovern was wrong 40 years ago for America and after all that time he is still wrong. -Fred, East Liberty, Ohio
