The initiative that Bush did show was to open the US banking and housing market to Mexican illegal aliens.
Funny how Bush's supporters never, ever seek to answer the following questions. If they did, the only reasonable answer is that Bush was in collusion with the DemocRATs to gut the US economy to the benefit of his Wall Street banker buddies and the detriment of the US citizens.
They always conveniently forget that Bush comes from a long line of Wall Street bankers and it is this constituency he served, from the day he entered office until the day he left.

Stuff your stupid list. I don’t respond to idiots who make up BS lists. Wave your list at the millions of babies saved by the most anti-abortion president we’ve ever had.
