Ha ha ha, you expose yourself with this old canard (among others).

Expose myself as what? Check out my posts on this site for, oh, the last 8 years. I’m as conservative as they come and (like many other conservatives) I’m disappointed with Bush.

It was Clinton who had the chance to get Bin Laden.

They both had the chance to get him. I expected Clinton not to do it. I expected that Bush would. He could have leaned much harder on the Pakistanis not to give Bin Laden safe haven.

Your political acumen is as outstanding as your use of the English language.

So, I left an “e” off the end of a word. Big deal. Didn’t your momma tell you that nitpicking is the sign of a pissant?

The only thing that Bush got a bad wrap for is Hurrican Katrina.

The missing "e" was just a typo or a minor misspelling. The use of the language problem was the use of "wrap" instead of "rap." I'm not sure if that's nitpicking - I decided to consult the true pissant to have an expert make the call.

I would say I'm mostly in agreement with your list. I would add that he signed McCain-Feingold and trusted the court to find it unconstitutional instead of vetoing like he should have. (You might have considered that covered by #5.)

I do believe Iraq was necessary, but we were to determined to play nice and rebuild before we were done breaking things. Bush likes to claim he brought freedom to millions, but the new Iraq is even less tolerant of religious minorities than the old Iraq. (Democracy isn't freedom, it's the tyranny or the majority.) We should have insisted on a constitutional republic that respected religious minorities. We also should have been taking reimbursement for our efforts out of their oil money.
