It's been posted before, but it's worth posting again. HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Killed the KYOTO GLOBAL WARMING TREATY which would have pus the US economy into a disastrious decline.
Stopped Clinton's "ergonomic" rules that OSHA was about to implement; rules that would have shut down every home business in America.
Stopped the US-CCCP ABM Treaty that prevented the US from deploying our ABM defenses.
Began construction of the first 10 ABM silos in Alaska so American has a defense against North Korean nukes.
Pushed through three (3) raises for our military.

In the process of disarming Libya of chemical, nuclear and biological WMD’s little bloodshed and non bribes.

Orchestrated continued Republican control of the House and Senate.
Trying to push through conservative federal judges while stopping the liberal ABA’s role in promoting woosy, liberal federal judges.

Changed forest management Act to allow necessary clean-up of national forests, thereby reducing fire danger.
Signed the workplace verification bill in attempt to prevent hiring of illegal immigrants.
MORE ACCOMPLISHMENT POSTINGS ARE WELCOME
Excellent list, thank you. But we still have to get the spending under control, and there's that bloody illegal alien amnesty thing. He is absolutely the best man for our times, but it seems like sometimes he's not listening to us.
"Committed US funds to battle AIDS in Africa, which is killing millions of men, women and children."
Personally, I think that will be a HUGE wasted of money.
"Passed Medicare Reform, authorized $39.5 billion per year for preventative medicine such as drugs and doctor visits. Includes a ten year privatization option."
Which is a redistribution of weatlth and a socialist entitlement program.
Challenged the United Nations to live up to their responsibilities and not become irrelevant.
Actually, the best thing about him challenging the UN is he DID make them irrelevant.
Signed the workplace verification bill in attempt to prevent hiring of illegal immigrants.
What bill was that? I missed it.
A few things in the negative column:
1. Hasn't seen an increase in spending he wouldn't sign (seems to have lost his veto pen);
2. Wrongheaded about immigration. Reagan also said "amnesty" would fix the problem, but it only encouraged more;
3. Has been weak on supporting his judicial nominees;
4. Proposes tax payers should make the down payment to purchase real property for others;
5. Knowingly signed an unConstitutional bill restricting 4th and 1st Amendment rights...Supremes' wrong-headed decision on the later, notwithstanding.
There are others, but in the end I will probably vote for him due to his success at being CIC and the hope he gets a chance to nominate a Supreme Court justice or two. However, I will continue to be critical of his fiscal policies and some other domestic issues. It is my right and duty to criticize my representatives.
