And what were they , exactly, except for the war ?

Sunsetted tax cuts? Immigration? New Entitlements without paying for them (ie through spending cuts elsewhere?) Balooning deficits ? TARP ? Harriet Meiers? Bailouts? Cap and Trade ?

Yeah, Bush didn't do much except for the part about preventing demon possessed Muslim savages from slitting your throat ear-to-ear as you watched them gang your wife.

Yeah, except for that.
