A Challenge For Bush Supporters

[Benjamin]

Without attacking Clinton or liberals (or insulting anyone), describe what you consider to be George W. Bush's top 5 accomplishments as president.

[nvalleyvee]

1. Bush has kept terrorism off our native soil.......he has kept them busy on their own turf.

2. Taxes have not risen as significantly as they did with Clinton and our unemployment rate is down. The economy of the US is GOOD!

3. He has not sacrificed the environment as badly as Gore or Kerry would have - what a concept.

4. He has kept "BIG Business" - the driving force behind our economy in fairly good tact --- how many businesses left under Clinton?

5. He stands firm behind his policy and has never been accused of sexual indiscresion.

Ooooooooh! So close! That #4 doesn't really qualify as an attack, does it Ben?

Br's right, I was asking the ref - the guy that set the challenge. Ben & I haven't had many chances to goof around so I wanted to be clear.

Thank you.

I'm gonna post mine as I think of them...

But Number 1.. and I think of this every time I laugh at him for something..lol

has to be him and laura after 911. and i'm not talking about when his security folks whisked him away to a secure location.. i'm talkin about the man and the woman that managed to calm a grieving nation.. helped us focus on what needed to be done, helped us bury our dead and let the world know in no uncertain terms that we would not be moved... and yet, moved us past our fears..

all the crap that came out later on who should have known what/when etc.. can not take away from the fact that those two people were the glue those first few weeks.. like them or not..we looked to that man and woman ..and they were there...

EDIT:**sorry.. didn't pay attention to the thread title.. duh!
I'll just post the five top things i've liked about him..
