An excellent list, justshe. Southack, you might find this interesting. Might be a good place to put that sort of thing together, IMHO.

[justshe]

Think you might find these lists interesting.

Well done....FYI..IMHO, however, you could have shortened your list to one line...."Consider the alternative.."

"Killed the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty. "

Anyone who questions whether this was a good thing or not needs to consider the New Zealand Cow Fart tax of $300 per head of cattle to comply with Kyoto.

Search FR for "New Zealand Flatulence" to see articles.

The first part of your list is valuable and interesting; Bush has had a good first 30 months.

Part Two (Items to be accomplished) is just plain nuts. "Eliminate entitlements?" "Stop being civil to democrats"? Good Lord. What are you smoking?

BTW, "Firing Karl Rove" is the last thing Bush would want to do.

Great lists! Adds some much needed perspective, I think.

Thanks for posting this!

[justshe]

Pinging the GOP list. Thought you might find this discussion interesting.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Excellent list. I think it will be visited often, with additions or suggestions for you to consider.

[Cold Heat]

LOL! This should be interesting.

I must go run some errands, but will return..............................

[Scenic Sounds]

Thank you for preparing this list. We tend to forget how much has been accomplished sometimes.

An excellent report card, justshe. ;-)

The USA Freedom Corps is not an accomplishment. Bush also did not gut the AIDS office, and he did not stop abortions on military bases, either. I don't know where you're coming up with all this.

"Items still to be accomplished and/or addressed"

• Limit/eliminate federal entitlement programs --> Safety nets are needed and enable risk taking. We will all suffer if they eliminated. Then just need to be managed better and abuse identified and dealt with.
• Hate all Dems and do not treat them civilly-->Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. I think reeducation is in order here.
• Push Frist out.....bring back Trent Lott --> Frist seems to be doing ok. Let him alone.
• Stop all foreign aid.--> Foreign aid should continue, but it should be done wisely. We should not give aid which enables bad regimes to stay in place.
• Eliminate Steel and Wood tarrifs -->Free Trade must be balanced with the employment needs of the country. I don't know about these specific tarrifs but Free Trade must be approached with wisdom.
• Fire Colin Powell -->Colin is useful. Just take his advice with a grain of salt.

How many millions is Bush going to give in direct aid to the Palestinian Authority?

[rattrap]

ping for later

[The Old Hoosier]

Reorganized the INS in an attempt to safeguard the borders and ports of America and to eliminate bureaucratic redundancies and lack of accountability.

And to list anything he's done on immigration as an accomplishment? Theguy won't even let Congress forbid the executive agencies from accepting the Matricula Consular.

You should also add to the bad list:

Forced Biggest Expansion of Welfare State in 40 years through Congress (drug handout).

Broke the back of the pro-life movement by dividing and conquering them on stem-cell research, guaranteeing a huge loss of influence for true conservatives within the GOP in coming years.

I love it! Thanks for posting this. Like I said before, I may not agree with everything the President has done, but he is still the best man to lead this country.

Fire Karl Rove

Most of Bush's accomplishments are due to Rove...

[rabidralph]

Good job. My eyes are glazing over.

[Amelia]

Do you have this one?

The United States on Tuesday suspended military assistance to nearly 50 countries, including Colombia and six nations seeking NATO membership, because they have supported the International Criminal Court and failed to exempt Americans from possible prosecution.
