Presented an award to deke. Crushed manny ramirez for not showing up at the white house. He unknowingly united the americas.
good accomplishments? if you make more than $1 million/yr you got a tax cut. his supreme court justices seem to be pretty good (aside from trying to sneak in harriet miers. i think that about rounds it out.
Ummm... how about keeping America safe for 6+ years after 9-11? That's his single biggest task and he succeeded. How about bringing a democratic process to Iraq? Ousting the Taliban from Afghanistan's power structure? Implementing fiscal policy changes which caused our economy to recover from the attacks of 911, corporate scandals, the tech bust, and 2 wars. When all is said and done, it will have been quite an 8 years. Hard to argue with that, really. The media is just so incredibly biased, and the detractors so incredibly vocal, that it will take time to truly recognize the remarkable achievements that have marked his 8 years.
His biggest task has been to catch bin-Laden, that he has failed miserably. 6+ years later, W has no idea where bin-Laden is.
George Bush's greatest accomplishments are likely to be his No Child Left Behind act, Partial Birth Abortion ban, Tax Cuts, and his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Did he do a good job on those? TJ would say "Heil to the yeah".
Which is worse? Not catching Bin Laden in 6 years of running and hiding or not doing anything with Bin Laden when Clinton knew exactly where he was for 8 years.
what is worse is you making things up ? just so that you wouldn't be so ill-informed , 9/11 happened when W was in office, when Clinton was no longer the President
There are MORE people who are willing to blow themselves up to kill us, than there were 6+ years ago.
Bill Mahr stated . . Gas was on avg 1.42$/Gal when he got into office and it is not 3$/Gal . . . Mission Accomplished? Rocket River
9/11 cost us 3,000 people and two buildings; though it's not on clinton or bush. the iraq war is and 1.9 trillion is on bush and, unfortunately, the rest of the american people. neither of these are good accomplishments.
not to mention we're fighting the wrong people...im still wondering why we werent focusing 100% on Afghanistan...
Bin Laden got away with blowing up Navy ships, training and funding the Taliban and Al Qaeda during Clinton's years. Yes, 9/11 happened under Bush's watch. I recognize that. I don't agree with how Bush handled the war on Terror overseas. We should've finished the job in Afghanistan first before going into Iraq. Yes, Bush cost us 3 Trillion dollars of a messy war but it was Clinton who let him go that ultimately got us to where we were. Yes, we can go argue that Reagan trained Bin Laden. Then we would have to go back further to right after WWII about the Middle east. Let's not go there. The bottom line. The Iraq War strategy by Bush WAS WRONG! PERIOD! But to blame it ALL on Bush is also wrong. It's time now to figure out how we are going to get out of this mess. However, the war to me is not even this country's main concern. We have to take care of our own domestic issues.
