Since we've been in economic recovery for about 6 years now, with relatively low unemployment, high earnings and given that the deficit is shrinking fast, I think Bush deserves a better grade - say a B.

As for the WOT, we first need to recognize our homeland hasn't been struck again for 6 years, even though there were followup attacks planned and promised immediately after 911. Since defense of the homeland is job one, I'd argue for giving him a good grade there too.

He also gets a "D-" on WOT, because he has made things worse. Is there any doubt the terrorist hate us more now than they did before we invaded Iraq?

No, they hate us enough to want to kill us just as they did before. Trying to summon up mythical gradations of hatred is fruitless.

Is there any doubt that there are more terrorist today than the day we attacked Iraq?

We don't know that. We do know we've killed a lot of them in Afghanistand and Iraq.

Is there any doubt we are more isolated as a country than we were the day we attacked Iraq?

No, France, Germany, Canada have elected conservative more pro-American governments since then. And we were never diplomatically isolated - its silly to talk about the worlds only superpower being diplomatically isolated. Another myth.

Is there any doubt that the effort in Iraq has taken away from the effort to control our borders?

Sure. Why do you think there's a relationship between the two things?
