Remember when Bush said that one of the great accomplishment of his administration was his record of keeping the country safe from terrorists attacks, provided you ignored his obvious failure? Good times, good times.

Bush should be dumping his list of pardons any… minute… now.
Keith Olbermann had a good summary of the Bush presidency…and it didn’t even talk about all the stuff (no mention of Schiavo, for example).

You could probably make that graph with number of wars and the number of recessions.
was 9/11 in 2001?
Bush got in office in Jan, 2001?
weird….
What about Pearl Harbor? FDR gets a pass?
Luisitania? before WWI? Woodrow Wilson.
The Chinese crossing the Yalu River in Korea where American troops were overrun? Truman.
All Dems.
The odds were very high we would get attacked again after 9/11 and we were not. That fact is not based on good luck, but leadership by Bush.
Boy Mike P you really had to look back but let’s explore your list. Pearl harbor Dem’s win the war.Luisitania under Wilson again Dem’s win the war. Korea no Victory Ike settled for a cease fire. And of course Bush being warned about an attack on the United States a month before went on vacation. And I guess you are not counting another attack that hasn’t been solved remember Antorax letters . You are starting to sound a bit like Bob Dole when he ran for VP tried to blame all wars on Dem’s. ( pardon the spelling)
Mike P could you have landed a plane on the hudson like US air???????
