Michael Barone perfectly contrasts our last two presidents in this article about Bush's transformative nature:

George W. Bush is a transformative president. Bill Clinton skillfully adapted to circumstances. George W. Bush -- clumsily in the view of his critics, but with confidence self-evident to those who watched his State of the Union with clear eyes -- sets out to transform America and the world. And is succeeding.

Whether or not these changes are good is worthy of debate. I, for one, am impressed.
