<<< Former President George W. Bush's international AIDS-fighting campaign has reduced by 10 percent the mortality rates in 15 targeted countries, primarily in Africa, and has saved 1.1 million lives, according to a study that for the first time quantified the successes of his program.

I was wrong. He did accomplish at least one good thing while in office for 8 years.

You are right about this and despite all the lefty talk, his presidency immediately post 9/11 was fine particularly in response to the terror attacks up until iraq war.
But Al's point to inode was obama's clear popularity in iraq as he called for iraqis to do more of the heavy lifting and the US to wind down. Troops applauded and iraqi leaders agreed with obama, not with the folks who want to continue the war like inode. Look, i am obviously trying to separate you from the neanderthal inode. We have chatted over the years and agree on many things and agree to disagree on others. But I am disappointed by the neanderthals winning folks like you over.
