He will be seen as the guy who woke us up to what had been going on for a decade, and set the policy of no longer ignoring militant Islamic actions.
You will not see any President move back, anytime soon. The last election was not a mandate to move back to ignoring those threats. You may see future Presidents, with the benefit of time make better informed decisions, but you will not see any roll back on the basic approach. And the moment an "Islamic profiling is a crime act" introduced, is the moment every Dem who votes for it becomaes a lame duck. (which has nothing to do with Bush- more what the last election didn't mean).
I must say that Clinton would probably have done much the same faced with 9/11, but he wasn't.
Economically, he was there to get people over the tech bubble blowing up and the big corporate scandals. I think we're pretty well-off right now.
