1. The strength Bush showed after the 9/11 attack and the steadfastness he showed in Iraq when success there was on the line.
2. The appointment of two highly intelligent conservatives to the Supreme Court...and a bunch of conservatives appointed to the lower courts as well.
3. Saving the American economy from the Global Warming hoax. Bush paid a little lip service, but kept the damage to a minimum.
4. Increasing ties with India, Asia's largest democracy...and a natural balance to China's power.
I could go on but I am short on time. Conservatives have a right to be somewhat disappointed in President Bush...but to say he wasn't much better than Obama...no way.
Sums up how I feel. I think he had it in him to be one of the great presidents. Of course, it wasn't his wish that 9/11 happened, and for better or worse how we reacted is his legacy. It kind of crowded everything else out.
