Hey, Mike,
I'm not a fan of Bush....but under his Administration, American soil has remained unattacked after 9/11. We will never know what would have occured.
At least we're fighting the war on terror over there (more or less at the source), instead of on our own soil.
In this regard, the president is like an I.T. manager - blamed for what goes wrong, but doesn't get credit when nothing happens (where "nothing" = good)
