1. The Bush tax cuts give more the poor and middle class than the rich
2. Bush has gone full throttle in Afghanistan and caught/killed virtually all involved w/ 9/11
3. Seventh year of continued economy growth.
4. Just noted in another thread:
Bush's enduring legacy in Africa - The Boston Globe
"WHEN PRESIDENT BUSH traveled to sub-Sahara Africa in February he was greeted by large and tumultuous crowds of admirers - which mystified many of his critics, who believe that the animosity toward his administration abroad is universal. But polling data from the Pew Foundation shows something different: Approval ratings for the United States exceed 80 percent in many African countries, some with large Muslim populations. In Darfur, many families name their newborn sons George Bush."

Yes, I agreed with that excellent assessment too! I guess the big question I'd like answered is the figure of a $250,000 income - is that net/gross? before deductions or after? Small businesses naturally have many, many standard deductions where you might start at a gross of $250,000 but by the time you deduct all your costs, your income might be more in the $100,000 range..
