Here's a good list of his accomplishments, which I believe will outshine his lukewarm budget and party leading performance.

Overall, I think GWB has been a B-minus President. 
    All A's for tax cuts
    Cs and Ds on domestic programs, mostly for the RINO-istic "compassionate conservatism" and for letting the Democrats & RINOs spend away the surplus with nary a veto.
    a solid B on the Iraq war, pulling it up from a C with the Surge
    an A-minus on the War On Terror in general - need to clean up the Homeland Security bureaucracy some.
    a B on immigration (that he didn't really earn)
    a D on joining with the RINOS to squander the Republican majority he inherited
    an A-minus for international relations - all the right people "hate" us, but recent elections in France, Germany and Italy, and the outright love we get from the former Soviet republics, is ample indication to me that America is still the big dog. Would have liked more pressure on the Saudis, Iran, Syria and the Palestinians, but he had his hands full with the big fights in Afghanistan & Iraq.
    a B-minus on promoting his agenda and managing the cabinet departments to support that agenda - the State Department especially, with its nest of career internationalists, served him poorly.

UPDATED 9/1/08 - Added a few things I thought of later.
