Bush failed to succeed on anything on your agenda You correctly point out the difference between failure and accomplishments of which one disapproves. I think the difference is important.

Simplistic renditions of total failure or absolute success are lame, to be blunt. Unfortunately, that is how the voting public see things. Bush failed to succeed on anything on your agenda, one voter in many millions. I am just 1 of the 60% who do not approve of Bush. Since I asked the question on what this Administration had done well, I guess the onus is on me to provide the answer which is free of rhetoric. The military mission in Afghanistan was a success. They drove the Taliban out of power and cornered Osama. They also broke the financial backbone of Al Qaeda, a very essential lifeline for terrorist activities. Secondly, the Bushies are good at running election campaigns. With all the controversy of Diebold machines aside (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/states/california/northern_california/13900909.htm) the Bush election machine very cleverly put the gay marriage issue on 12 of the State ballots. Putting this on the state ballots brought out the Bush folks to the booth. And once they were in the booth they might as well vote for Bush. Good Bye
