What has Bush done that you like?

Do you like the farm bill, the steel and lumber tariffs, the treatment of airport "security"? Do you think its been wise to give Saddam 11 months so far to prepare? If not, what is it you think balances that?

I'm happy we fought in Afganistan, and I'm happy we got a tax cut instead of a raise-- but a tax cut mostly coming in 5 yrs from now and expiring 10 yrs from now doesn't balance out much from where I'm looking, and if there's something else Bush can claim credit for (other than occasional praiseworthy rhetoric mixed in with occasionaly despicable rhetoric) that I would approve of, it doesn't come to mind.

The fact that the economy is in better shape at the moment than it was under Carter isn't much to stake a legacy on IMHO.

First of all he appointed rumsfeld, please don't tell me you dislike him. Rumsfeld in so many words has never truly mentioned any form of attack, it would be ludicrous. Speaking from a military standpoint haste makes waste. Let the military men figure this out not you. All politicians take credit for something, and as for his presidency, I still shudder to think of the alternative. Miss Liberty we're both on the same side, critisism is fine but don't badger.
