Thanks for your concise analysis. At the risk of repeating yourself:

Let's see...

The economy is in its 4th year of growth from the bubble-induced recession, which was made worse by an unprovoked attack on this country.

The Taliban has been replaced by a democratic government in Afghanistan.

Saddam Hussein's fascist regime has been replaced by a democratic government in Iraq.

The Syrian army is out of Lebanon as the Lebanese approach their first elections in decades free of Syrian manipulation.

The Israelis and Palestinians, who recently had their own democratic elections, actually seem to be moving in a positive direction for the first time in ages.

And an American leader actually has the courage to try to fix the broken third rail of politics - social security.

Now don't get me wrong - I don't agree with 100% of what you term "the Republican agenda". But I agree with them far more often than with the obstructionist Democrats who seem interested in nothing but preventing solutions to real problems. Can't have Republicans getting credit for fixing anything, now can we?
