The dissing is because he doesn't use MORE of his talents, not less. I think Bush is MISSING opportunities (he didn't have to do steel or CFR).

And don't forget his signing of the Airport Security bill that added another 30,000 government employees - the SAME people who were checking baggage at airports are now getting over twice their previous salary.

And don't forget his support for the massive increase in "education spending".

And now we hear that he's probably going to sign the BLOATED farm bill.

Let me ask a serious question. Other than the tax cuts, his performance in the war on terror and his naming of some decent people to his administration, how many other issues has he signed on to that most conservatives consider anathema?

Is that all worth it just to get re-elected? I have serious concerns.

You ask what conservatives don't like about what Bush has done - personally, I dislike the bill to Federalize Air Traffic security, CFR, and the steel tariffs.
But I understand why he did each of them. If he hadn't done those, they would be issues in the next campaigns. And these are really silly issues.
Every President has to set priorities. W wants to end terrorism. That's a lofty and complicated goal. This other stuff is trivia.
clintoon wanted to stay in power and become rich. He was successful at his goals. But I don't respect them.
I'd much rather W fail at his goals than have another clintoon who succeeded at his.
