What has he done that is positive for this country?
I'm not meaning to sound rude, i'm just curious because I cant think of anything that is that impressive.

I'm not a supporter, but I must say he does have a bit of value in the area of 'entertainment'... like the plucky comic relief in this particular horror film.

This is a lot like asking what Clinton did, 8 years and he has nothing impressive to show for it. Did he end suffering for poor people, nope, or they would not still be here today.....
So, positive things-
1.Protected the country from terrorist attacks. Simple record, no attacks for five years.
2.The no child left behind act. It's good to hold schools accountable for how they spend federal money.
3.Tax cuts. Sure they were for the wealthy, but that is good for all. When rich pople get more money, they invest in things. Poor people just buy stuff.
4.Put lots of good judges on the bench
5.Has miniorty cabinet members and other high powered folks (how many did clinton have...lol)

The reason you don't hear of the positives is because the Liberal media has been busy stacking the news with lies and misdirections over the last year or so hoping to gain some power back in the country. Most of the problems our President has been fixing has been from years of poor management in the white house by Bill Clinton...unless you ask the chinese...who gained alot of top secret techology during the clinton administration from highly suspect circumstances. I am just glad we have the president in place we do currently or I believe there would have been a series of terrible terrorist attacks on this country.

He quickly brought the US out of recession after 9/11
He saw a major threat to our way of life and faced it head on.
He cut taxes which boosted our economy while increasing income for our government.
unemployment is very low even after the overinflated dot com bubble burst and major corporate scandals occurred and even after a terrorist attack on our land.
He took the fight to the enemy instead of setting on his hands like some other past president did.
He has started to secure our border with Mexico in a way that none other has. People say he failed in this area but really he is the first to actually do something about it.
He eased some of the ridiculous environment restraints that made it near impossible for a country to function.
He put pride back in the US and made other countries think twice before they mess with us. He let them know we're not gonna take it.
He has done more good than bad. Whether you like him or not you can only deny it for so long.
In doing all he has, almost the entire time he has been ridiculed and put down by the liberals. They have tried in vain to hinder US progress all for political gain.
There is much more he has done but some of us have a war to fight. So I must go now.

You are going to completely disregard my answer anyway but here goes:
Through the use of secret CIA prisions, which use alternative interrogation (not neccessarily torture), many terrorist plots have been foiled (this coming directly from the CIA, not Bush)
Saddam Hussein, who shot at US planes patroling the "no-fly" zones and harbored terrorists like al-Zarqawi is now facing justice. Saddam knew the Zarqawi was in Iraq for medical treatment and did not capture him. Sounds like harboring terrorists to me.
Osama bin Laden is although not captured, on the run/in hiding. He is no longer as effective as evidenced by a new tape from before 9/11. He won't even make new videos for possible security, technical, or health issues.
Al-Zarqawi, al-Qaeda's #2 is now dead, and hundreds of al-Qaeda's leadership are captured or dead due to info from the CIA prisions and other captured al-Qaeda members.
He tried to privatize social security, which would provide more security to the struggling system. Unless of course you think Americans are too stupid to choose how to save their money on their own. Of course the Democrats think that already and the bill was never passed.
Due to pressure from the Bush government, Omar Qaddafyi in Lybia has given up his nuclear ambitions.
Unemployment rates are down and the economy is out of the recesion that it started into at the end of Clinton's term and was aggravted by 9/11.
He is trying pass a bill that would open up ANWAR to drilling, but there is resistance due to the fact that it might disrupt the nonexistent wildlife. And the caribou around the pipline (not the pumps) like it.
Government subsidies to companies that use ethenol as opposed to oil, so that E85 is just as cheap as gas. Maybe you all think that gas isn't cheap--the prices are ridiculously high. Move to Europe, then talk about expensive gas.
Invaded Afghanistan and ousted the Taliban, who, incidentall were harboring bin Laden. But I can't for the life of me figure out how that is good for the country.

What NULL and Falcon said. But you and people like you won't accept the positive things he has done. Unemployment is at a record low. All the libs and their followers cry tax cuts for the rich!! We were better off under Clinton, he cared about the poor. Oh really? The poor under Clinton paid 3% more in taxes then they do now. And the rich paid less. All the numbers are easy to look up at the library of congress. But I don't want to confuse you with facts...Carry on.

People are so busy accusing him of things he didn't do,it is hard to sort through the bull the Dem's and libs keep dishing out. He has had to make allot of tough decisions.(popular or not)Don't worry though his term will be over soon and all the nay Sayer's can go back to making excuses for their elected just like they did for Bill. Oh yea, here is a little Fraze I use to hear allot.(He is our president and like him or not you should support him) I can remember that when I bitche-d about NAFTA,World Trade,giving technology to the Chinese and selling the rights to several ports to them also. Its funny I don't hear that from those people anymore.(I wonder why?)

He put thousands of solders, sailors, Marines and reservists, many of them not well off, to work. And he helped the funeral homes, casket companies and flower shops keep their employees on the job.Of course, he also helped make lots of money for Halliburton and the oil companies.

You know I have tried to think of something myself and I cannot think of one thing. So actually he is the coke snorting, alcoholic with no morals that the repukes voted for twice.
