Here's a list of some of the things Bush has done/endorsed during his presidency. All of these issues have been discussed at length on this forum, and still, some are taking a "wait and see" attitude:

Stem cell research

Faith Based Initiative

No attempt to prosecute Clinton crimes

EO to keep Clinton documents from release

No congressional declaration of war

MFN status to China

Back dues paid to the UN

Airline bailout

Patriot Act (pretty good rape of the 4th amendment)

Office of Homeland Security

Payoffs to families of victims of 9-11

Federalization of airport security

Education bill and lovefest with Ted "The Swimmer"

Shadow government (who are these people? did we elect them?)

Volunteer corps

Steel tariffs

50% increase in foreign aid??

Amnesty for illegals???

I guess we're supposed to be happy because we got a tax refund.

Great list, but it won't make a whit of difference to these people. He ain't Clinton, is all they can see. No wonder they call it the stupid party. It's not because of their elected officals like everyone assumed, it's because of their members.

Shadow government (who are these people? did we elect them?)

You are kidding, right?

"MFN status to China"

Most favored nation status, or PNTR, was signed by Clinton in 2000.

Excerpt:

"...Clinton signed into law on Tuesday a historic bill granting permanent normal trade relations to China and dispatched his top trade negotiator for urgent talks with Chinese officials in hopes of settling disputes that could hurt Beijing's entry to WTO"

First two words edited by me in order to continue my practice of not referring to Clinton in conjunction with the "P" word.

As for the rest of your list, I don't necessarily consider everything on it as bad. I disagreed with the steel tariffs, but it remains to be seen whether the president was right or whether I was.

Geez, maybe gore would have been better.

That's a pretty comprehensive list in post #164. I suppose some Bush supporter will try to explain away those things by saying that the president has some strategy up his sleeve that we just don't know about and that we should just trust him. Who are we to criticize him? We're just simple citizens, not rich politicians fluent in all the constitutional loopholes.
