I have no doubt that bush will go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. bush haters can have the reassurance of knowing that historically, lame duck presidents (in their second term) leave some disgraceful legacy behind and are often known more for that than anything else. Few examples...
Nixon - Watergate
Reagan - Iran contra
Clinton - Blowjob/lying under oath
What will be bush's legacy? Deficit larger than every president before him combined? Iraq being his personal Vietnam? An early departure JFK style? Time will only tell...

Lame duck refers to the period between when your successor has been elected and when they take office so not sure what you mean.
Two term presidents? It's actually a fairly good list of presidents.
Full two terms ..
Washington
Jefferson
Madison
Monroe
Jackson
US Grant
Grover Cleveland
Woodrow Wilson
FDR
Eisenhower
Reagan
Clinton
Incomplete two terms ...
