*No successful U.S. attacks since 2001 (Security)
*Strong growing economy
*Low unemployment
*No real tax increases
*Gasoline price control
I really have mixed thoughts of the war, but consider it as unavoidable.

You're kidding me, right?
#1: Bush is the first president since FDR to preside over a terrorist attack on US soil. And 9/11 happened *partly* because Bush likes to take 4 or 5 vacations each year (3-5 weeks each!)
#2: Jobs are leaving this country at Mach 5. Our trade deficit has *never* been higher.
#3: The low unemployment rate does not take into account the millions of Americans whose unemployment insurance has run out but still *don't* have jobs.
#4: I'll concede this one. He kept middle class taxes the same while giving *huge* tax breaks for multi-millionaires.
#5: Gasoline price control? Are you living in the same time/space continuum as me? Under Clinton, gas was $1.20-$1.35/gallon. Under Bush, it's soared to $4.00/gallon briefly and has been above $2.25/gallon for almost a year. In what way is this "control"?
Hope is like a candle held against the night.
