Bush Presidential Accomplishments
Steve Benen presents Jon Swift's version of Fred Barnes's list of Bush presidential accomplishments:
The Washington Monthly: Jon Swift, apparently inspired by Barnes' insightful perspective, thinks there may be something to this. He has a great new list highlighting the brilliance of Bush's presidency:
- After Hurricane Katrina President Bush kept our cities safe.
- After the October 2008 stock market correction there have been no Great Depressions.
- After Iraq and Afghanistan took a turn for the worse, President Bush kept us from losing any wars.
- After the District Attorney firing scandal, the outing of Valerie Plame and other scandals, President Bush restored integrity to government.
- After divisive elections President Bush united our country.
- After Abu Ghraib, President Bush reaffirmed America's adherence to the Geneva Conventions and against torture.
- After 9/11 President Bush kept America safe from terrorist attacks on American soil.
Well, I certainly can't argue with any of these astute observations.
