I'm not sure what the ranch comment is supposed to mean. He's not the only President to take vacations. He's taken the most I beleive, beating Clinton's record, who beat Reagan's record. It's a pretty simple concept; as technology has advanced, the ability for the President to be "in the know" and accomplish tasks away from D.C. has increased. Your comment is rather petty.

I don't get how you don't see how it has helped you. Do you want the man to personally single you out and make your days brighter??

The economy is quite strong, and considering what he inherited, and what he dealt with domestically 9 months into office, I think he's due a fair amount of credit. Put your Kool-Aid down for a minute and enter reality.

I think your vacation totals are a bit off.

Carter had the least amount of all presidents with 79 days in 4 years, Clinton had a total of 152 in 8 years, Reagan had 335 in 8 years, Bush surpassed Reagan in his 5th year.

Tax cuts have proven to stimulate the economy.

Border security has finally been looked at, albeit marginally. This isn't a huge win for the Bush camp, but at least a Prez finally looked at the issue and did SOMETHING.

I just "looked" at a broken chair of mine, yet it still isn't fixed.

Supreme Court Justices. (You can't say this is a failure because YOU don't personally agree with his choice.) Most Americans approved of his final selections, and they both received Senate approval. That is a victory for any President.

would that be the same "most americans" that made Bush President? And big shock, a republican fascist majority approved republican fascist judges.

Reformed bankrupcy laws.

which made it easier for big business to skate, harder for regular people to get out from under.

Wish Social Security could be added, but in time hopefully.

social security money gambled on the stock market? Gotta wonder why this one died on the vine.

Iraq has bogged this administration down.

nothing bogs you down more than a lot of dead bodies.

Oh, and he threw a PERFECT strike at Yankee Stadium in the World Series with everyone chanting U-S-A right after 9/11. Like him or hate him, that was one bad-ass cool moment for a President.

about as long as his approval ratings stayed afloat.

I prefer to think about the things that haven't happened with Bush in power. There's been no additional attacks on US or Canadian soil.

Acheivements may include border security being addressed in a measured manner. The economy is still chugging along. He's brought to light what the abysmal failure that is the UN. Tax cuts for the poor. Banning the federal funding of stem-cell research while there are no ethical guidelines in place. Great selections to the Supreme Court.

Many issues were brought to light for discussion; social security, immigration, foreign policy. These are issues that Clinton and co. didn't have time to even address, too busy getting the fat intern to undress.

Bush had nothing to do with the Emminent Domain ruling. You should be smarter than that.

His biggest failures have not been addressing environmental issues and the failure to lessen the gap between the rich and poor. While I don't agree with the war on Iraq I'll hold out on judging the outcome of it.

The gap between the rich and poor seem to be widening every where.

He's killed the American dollar (great for Canadians travelling south )!

Honestly, with Bush in power, our dollar has never looked so good (well, not for a long time anyways).

I am in the States quite a bit, good for me. I saw PJ 3 times, saved lots of $$$.
