The economist says Bush may leave office a broken man

What that's based on The Economist doesn't say. Evidently it's some body's opinion. The magazine, or newspaper, as it calls itself, goes on to say that Bush will be powerless in his final year and will concentrate on foreign policy but not achieve anything.

It's probably true that Bush will concentrate on foreign policy. Whether he will accomplish anything remains to be seen. Bush will not be powerless so long as he has veto power, which is granted to him by the Constitution.

Who writes this stuff for The Economist? What are his or her qualifications for predicting such things?
