    Become Intellectually curious and find out for yourself.

    Be honest and ask yourself

    How many terrorist attacks occurred on American soil since 9/11?

    What president gave $100 million dollars to Africa for AIDS treatment?

    What president set aside more pristine ocean to be protected than any other?

    What president met with and wrote letters to every single family of soldiers lost in wars during his presidency?

    What president restored some respect to the office of President after a ridiculous sex scandal by a lecherous pervert who lied under oath and was convicted in the house of Reps and almost convicted in the Senate?

    What president got us out of the dot-com collapse?

    Easy, I will give you MANY

    1. Cut taxes

    2. Great leadership after 9/11

    3. Prevented another 9/11

    4. Afghanistan war

    5. Some success in Iraq war, such as getting Saddam and and getting a democracy established there. (I was not for the Iraq war, but you can't deny some success there).

    6.Stopped Kyoto agreement. This would have been a disaster if implemented because it would have really hurt industry in the country and turn it into a poor country.

    7. Gave billions of dollars to Africa.

    8. Diverse cabinet with Rice, Powell, and that hispanic attorney general,etc

    9.Missile defense started to be implemented.

    Even though a lot of people disagree, George will be remembered for the No Child Left Behind Act. It meant that schools had to prepare for all children regardless of race or family circumstances and be held accountable for those children learning the basics. The problem was, after the act was passed, not enough money was allotted for it. Still, many children have improved in the scores and many schools are better because of the stick that the Act held if they did not succeed in teaching all children in a school.

    He kicked the Taliban out which Russia couldn't do in Ten yrs. He stood up 2 terriosts and has kept them from hitting us again. Plus he has sent more aide to Africa than any other US president. He also has Freed Iraqi's from a dictator who slaughtered his own people.
