The Bush administration is well know for doublespeak. Their major accomplishments are getting people to believe the opposite of what they say.
People who WANT to believe in Bush are satisfied that he SOUNDS like he is doing the right thing,
1. The Clear Skies Initiative actually rolled back deadlines for cleaning up the air. 2. The No Child Left Behind act has led to poorly performing children being pushed to drop out of school and fewer graduating students.
3. The healthy Forest Act led to greater logging of once protected wilderness. 4. They created an Opt In program for Head Start programs that permits states to take Head Start money and opt out of providing Head Start programs with it. 4. The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01 5. adding more than $50 billion to the deficit, he called it the “Deficit Reduction Act.” 6. 2000 campaign, George Bush promised to bring “dignity” to the White House… but we’ve since found that he brought Jack Abramoff instead 7. The phrase "we need sound science" is used a lot these days to cast days to simultaneously cast doubt on scientific evidence that is already solid: Kyoto, Global Warming
8. coalition of the willing: coalition of the coerced, paid,etc. 9. enemy combatant: legal wording to get around the Geneva Conventions 10. free speech zone: an area set aside for protesters in which law enforcement supposedly will not interfere with them if they stay within it, but may assail or arrest them if they venture out of it. - Used to prevent Bush being photographed with protesters.

Waging and winning the war on terror is an ongoing issue that will be going on for the rest of our lives...9/11 made sure of that
Chapter 2
Strengthening our Military, Supporting Our Veterans - Strengthening our military is ongoing by training and making sure that they have proper funding. I am a veteran and my benefits have not been cut, so I am not sure what cuts have been made.
Chapter 3
Promoting Peace and Democracy - and Acts of Mercy -Abu Grey (misspelled) was not a Bush sponsored activity. Promoting peace in Iraq by bringing democracy to that region.
Chapter 4
Protecting the Homeland -There is a fine line with this issue. Amnesty at least makes those people that have come to the US become legitimate. That way they will be registered and we will know who is in our country. Without this, they will just be no name individuals lurking in the shadows.
Chapter 5
Economic Growth and Job Creation -haws your job? I have a great job that I have been in for 9 years. My company has grown and prospered. It is your responsibility to educate yourself and grow in order to get that great job. It takes time and a whole lot of energy and sometimes you have to start at the bottom but if you are dedicated, you can advance.
Chapter 6
Opening Markets - one instance (Halliburton) does not make a whole.
Chapter 7
Expanding Homeownership -pers bankruptcy up-President Bush is not responsible for irresponsible people who don't pay their bills. If you only spend within your earning potential, you won't have to file for bankruptcy.
Chapter 8
Energy Security- Enron & Kenny Boy-They were prosecuted weren't they? Obviously they weren't given an out.
Chapter 9
Corporate Accountability Reform -Zero convictions- Are you forgetting ex-Tyco chief Dennis Kozlowski and WorldCom’s Bernie Ebbers, former Enron executives Kenneth Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, and Dan Boyle, Merrill Lynch James Brown, Daniel Bayly and Robert Furst...etc.
Chapter 10
Immigration Reform -joke-Why is it a joke? Give examples
Chapter 11
Reforming and Modernizing Health Care-I have no problem with my healthcare. Course that could be because I have a job and I pay for insurance. It's a priority for me. I can't help it if it isn't a priority for others.
Chapter 12
Improving American Education-
Chapter 13
A More Compassionate America-You got me on this one. I have compassion for those who work to better themselves. I come from poverty and I can hold my head up high because I pulled myself up and I don't see why others can't sacrifice a little in the short term to be able to be self sufficient in the long term.
Chapter 14
Protecting Children, Strengthening Families-How has he not done this?

My thoughts are that he has done a pretty good job and my life has been better since he has been in office. I don't know how much is his doing and how much is just my plain determination to succeed but I am pretty happy with it regardless. I have to ask those that are discontent, why are you so? Have you really tried to make the most of every day?

1.OBL is hiding ,and the weapons were found(chemical warheads are WMD) 2.He is trying to build back the military Clinton dismantled after letting OBL go free. 3.The Afgahns voted and so did Iraqis.Bush was never at the prison. 4.The amnesty deal was not about security,and the Democrats are the ones that opened the borders wider. 5Jobs are never good when the country is under attack under ANY administration. 7. So it's the presidents fault if banks loan to idiots? 8. Enron happened on Clintons watch.Bushes watch just exposed it. 10 immigration reform was shot down by the DEMOCRATS.the rest are debateable but you didn't specify.
