Southack has created a presentation of President Bush's accomplishments...

I was one of those who probably helped compile the list Southack, and others, passed around the Internet several years ago.

At the time, I too was adamantly touting all the things GWB had done good, and was not getting credit.

Since then, he has gone south with the Harriet Miers thing, Dubai ports, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and this INSANE "we need a new tone" crap.

In other words, a stronger President Bush defender you could not find from 1999-2004.

But since telling the media (right after the 2004 election) that "I have earned political capital, and now I'm gonna spend it," GWB has gone soft.

Today, for heavens sake, he issued a statement asking...... ASKING!!!! the Demwimps in Congress to "please" give me a chance.

I am quite sure the Dems, as did I, deposited that statment alongside the toiled paper.

GWB should have said, "For the past six years, this White House along with most Republicans are the only ones who put forth, and enacted, any real legislation to keep America prosperous and safe --- while the Democrats blocked and obstructed every step of the way."

Now, those same Dems are passing meaningless yet hurtful legislation that will embolden our terrorist enemies while demoralizing our brave men and women in the military."

IF BUSH WOULD ONLY SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, the entire Republican base would stand up and CHEER.

Instead, he is making himself look even weaker and weaker by asking "Please give me a chance."

Can you envision Ronald Reagan EVER EVER EVER asking Congress to "please" just "please" give me a chance.

Me neither.

Lastly, with all deference to Southack, I and others on FR also helped compile that list of "good" things GWB did his first three years.

Was I proud back then? Yes.

But the Presidency is eight long years, not just three.

Thank you for helping compile the list of accomplishments of President Bush. I reposted Southack's list because it is the only one I've seen like it.

I will concede that success since 2004 has diminished. IMO, the incessant attacks from the 2003-2004 dem campaign and perpetuated by DBM are responsible.

I would love it!
