Bush: "...history takes a long time for us to reach."

In an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted over a three-week period through the History News Network, 98.2 percent assessed the presidency of Mr. Bush to be a failure. More than 61 percent of the historians concluded that the current presidency is the worst in the nation’s history.

I think Bush speaks best for himself:

“As far as history goes and all of these quotes about people trying to guess what the history of the Bush administration is going to be, you know, I take great comfort in knowing that they don’t know what they are talking about, because history takes a long time for us to reach.”
