The economy didn't start it's downward trend until the Dhimmis took over Congress, so I'll give him kudos for his efforts there. But don't get me started on immigration, and how he's handled, or should I say mishandled, that!

I don’t rate my Presidents by “Lame Duckness” but by his desire to get something done. Unfortunately, our leaders in congress will hold back many of the proposals that they’ve agreed to, out of fear that the President will get some of the credit. http://welovebush.blogspot.com I guess this is the reason why Congress ignored the President’s calls to:
- Reform FHA
- Strengthen the oversight on the GSEs (Fannie & Freddie)
- Expand Free Trade (an issue that the Dems have embraced in the past)
- Permitting States & Cities to issue bonds to refinance homeowners (currently only available on purchases)
- Expand Oil Supply & Refinery Capacity in our own Country
- Expand tax free Health Savings Accounts
- Making Health Care expenses Tax Free for individuals
- Reforming Medical Liability
- Permitting to buy Health Insurance across State lines
- Permitting Small Businesses or Community Organizations to group together to buy insurance at a discounted price

The 'what ifs' create an endless list, none of which either of us can change. Who are killing the civilians? Not us, if we can help it.

He failed to mention the civilian casualties in Iraq, much less the fact that al Qaeda was not in Iraq until Shrub invaded it. Must have been an oversight on the author's part, I'm sure. Mmmm.
