The economic crisis, essentially the failure of the mortgage market, is a DIRECT result of the Clinton policies forcing banks to provide mortgages to unqualified minorities who clearly were likely to default. The rest is a deck of cards that tumbled down.
Clinton allowed multiple terrorist attacks on America (World Trade Center I, Embassy bombings, USS Cole) go UNRESPONDED to, except for a single bomb on a drug factory to distract from his Monica situation. This gave the terrorists the go-ahead to keep attacking America, leading up to 9/11, a mere 7 months after Clinton left office.
President Bush, like someone pointed out above, has prevented a second terrorist attack on the U.S. after 9/11. That is a major achievement. Anyone who does not suffer from insomnia will recall that after 9/11, all the terrorism experts said it was only a matter of time before the terrorists strike again. They said they would strike harder than 9/11, and they would strike soon. None of that occurred.
Thank You Mr. President!
