Mark P. asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

Is there ANYTHING Bush has done right? Exactly what issue?

Vote for one...Is it the Iraq war, Katrina, the one time mini tax cut, border patrol, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Guantanimo, "God" telling him to go to war, not looking for Osama, all time defecits, or fishing all the time and dragging trees atround the ranch in a cowboy hat?

    Sorry, but your list is WAY too short.

    You forget trying to dismantle Social Security, the thousands of corrupt and inept appointments (including to the Supreme Court), stem cell research veto, all of the torture camps he implemented (not just Gitmo), no-bid contracts to Halliburton in Iraq and for Katrina (which is why nothing has been done to help Katrina's victims) ...

    I'm tired, but may I suggest that you submit a better list and ask your question again?

    Of course, by the time you listed every wrong he's committed, he'll be out of office, so, never mind.

    As a conservative, I can say about the few things I can think of that he has done right is consistently voicing support for the views of his major constituency, but it's safe to say we needed a much more capable president at the helm to more effectively project those values into culture.

    Too much suspicion and too much silence, and obstinance-without-explanation was allowed to go on, and I'm beginning to think this was due to poor planning. I'd been holding out for perhaps reasons for which public disclosure would mean threatening national security, but .... I think I'm done holding my breath for that one.

    of the choices on your lsit, I would have to say dragging trees around his Texas ranch, and fishing. At least trees and fish can't scream.

    None of those. Under his watch, the justice department settled the Microsoft anti-trust case. That is the ONLY thing his administration has done right.

    What an objective question. You significantly lack information and sense.
