Okay I think it's safe to assume you can't think of any Bush accomplishments.... Keep quipping if it feeds your hate though...

So you agree that Bush has accomplished nothing.

When did I say that? Oh wait, I forgot where I am. Silly me.

You seem to fit right in perfectly fine. in fact, I'd say you can teach us a thing or two about how we should post.

Here's another one:

Turned around an inherited economy that was in recession, and deeply shocked as a result of the 9/11 attacks.

If this doesn't piss you off, then nothing will. Of course you guys don't mind raping future generations of taxpayers as long as you're getting a "BORROWED" tax cut, eh?

I am in shock

I'm sure you are. Holding your hands out for another tax cut while kissing W's ass and saying...

"Thank you sir, can I have another!"

OBL is doing what he set out ot do and Bush and crew are following right along...

Bankrupting the US - except from inside out.

Let's assume that your statement about Clinton doing nothing as far as foreign policy is concerned is true.

I would take "nothing" over Bush "policy" 1,000 times out of a 1,000

Yep, the stock market is almost "BACK" to the same level that it was when he took office....in 2001...and the NASDAQ....nowhere in sight of where it was then. See above....those "Borrowed" tax cuts.....yep.

Yep, it sure was Bush's fault that tech bubble burst and took the stock market down.

The same way you can "credit" him for its inevitable partial rebound. It's all cyclical.

Signed the No Child Left Behind Act, delivering the most dramatic education reforms in a generation (challenging the soft bigotry of low expectations). The very liberal California Teachers union is currently running radio ads against the accountability provisions of this Act.

That I will agree with. However, some people will use this well known "quirk" of the stock market and will turn it into something else.

Opposite of what? Your either saying Clinton didn't do nothing, or I don't know what my own opinion is? That makes no sense.

I wasn't the one who stated that "BUSH" brought us out of recession.....simply pointed out to RIP (Bush worshipper supreme) that "IF" Bush had brought about such a wonderful economic recovery, then the stockmarket would have inched up. The only stocks to inch up are the good ole boy's network of OIL and energy stocks.

College tuition costs are rising like mad. It is quickly putting an education out of reach for many. I will graduate with over 100k in student loan debt.

No child left behind was a phishing scam to get phone numbers and addresses for military recruiters. Nuff said

LOL. Just look at the states itching to get out of that miserable failure. It's costing more to implement than many get in federal dollars and It's focus is all about "standardized tests" now and not about teaching. Just ask teachers and you'll get your answer on that one.

What does NCLB act has to do with college tuition costs? And it will keep rising, as it always had.

Partially because of a federal cut in education spending including cutting student loans (so we can spend more money on shitholes like Iraq).

I was just mentioning Bush's overall lack of concern for education.
I have been in college for four years now, tuition rises have FAR outpaced the rate of inflation.

Speaking of RIP's spouting Bush's helping the economy recover, Inflation "outpaced" wage growth last year.

Regardless of all of the above, Bush isn't soley responsible for any of the good or bad, but he plays a factor. The Republican controlled congress along with Bush's willingness to NOT veto any spending bill is running the future bill for the taxpayer into the ground.

He continues to execute the War On Terror, getting worldwide cooperation to track funds/terrorists. Has cut off much of the terrorists' funding, and captured or killed many key leaders of the al Qaeda network.

Buwhahahahahahahahahah....you just keep telling yourself that. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Terrorists are being created faster than ever with terroristic attacks at 8X what they were just 2 years ago....and this "Doesn't" include the ones in Iraq.

Rip, does the sun rise from Bush's ass for you?

The war on terror is one big giant hole in America's pocketbook - See debt chart!
