No.

The constitutional explicitely remarks that a President at most can serve two 4-year terms, or 10 years if one succeeded to the office with less than two years left on that term left unfulfilled by the predecessor. Also, the Vice-President has the same qualification-limits as the President.

On January 20, Dubya will have served 8 full years. He's ineligible for anymore terms or even as VP.
