Under Bush we have had lowest unemployment rate ever, the national debt has been reduced by 1/3, that was published in the WSJ 2 weeks ago due to unexpected high TAX revenues, reduce tax grow business get more revenue,economics 101! Don't believe the BS you are reading in the newspaper this is an election year, they will not tell any good news about Bush, as for civil liberties, name me one you have lost? BTW, Presidents don't spend or make law, The House and the Senate are the only ones that can do that, all he can do is VETO, so first you need to learn who to blame, and BUSH is not running in this election, so if you were not happy with him, don't vote for him!
