You say "gets wrecked" as if it isn't already.   The economy has  
tanked, we're the least liked country since Nazi Germany, Bush has  
created a whole raft of police state laws and precedents that will  
take a long time to reverse, and we're entrenched in a war that is  
creating more new terrorists by the second.   Programs like no child  
left behind have destroyed all the useful social programs that our  
government provided, and yet the government is wasting more money that  
it ever has before.  It's going to take years to dismantle Bush's  
conservative, "small government" bureaucracy, and I'm pretty sure that  
it will take centuries to repair our reputation with the rest of the  
world.  Three years ago, he was deemed the worst president in history,  
and things haven't gotten any better for him since then.  I can't see  
how anyone could do worse.
