"Which one would that be ?"

Here's my first list...and none of these have to do with policy disputes.

1. Naming an Arabian Horse judge to head our emergency management response force...this after Clinton's appointment showed what a pro could do in such a job.

2. Nominating Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. Yeh God!

3. Backing a Medicare Drug Plan that is so complicated and expensive that even those of us who are health care professionals can't figure it out. There were many alternatives presented, but he said "no". (sorry, this is a policy gripe).

4. Failing to veto a single bill. Not one!!! With all the waste and earmarks and fat being shoved through Congress. So much for fiscal conservatism.

5. Chertoff...a tin-eared hack.

I have plenty more, but these decisions all affect me (or could) very directly and so come right to mind.

Waging a no win war in Iraq. Saddam was a nuisance for the U.S., not a threat. Air headed democratization policy for the mid-east, would anyone like to see Saudi Arabia under democratic Wahabi rule? Basically, one would be hard put to name one thing he's done right other than attack Afghanistan, and he even screwed the pooch on that one.
