A fantastic response to the attacks of 9/11. I think we can all agree on that. Even if not a perfect war, I'm glad he removed a murderous dictator from Iraq.
Now for everyone to attack me: a good series of tax cuts that should have been met with spending cuts.
I agree, but his failures were far too catastrophic on both the deficit and Iraq that it really diminishes his Presidency.
Plus, he bears a large burden for the financial crisis due to continuing Clinton-era deregulation as well as opposing any efforts at reform apart from Fannie/Freddie (which Democrats were very wrong about)
