Answer 3

Terrible.  If you watched last night- they bashed Bush as well as Obama- they didn't say his name, but they eluded to it.  Talking about the Gov being too powerful, and other stuff- which is funny, b/c the Republicans have been in charge for 8 yrs.  Also, this is from John Stewart- but they are talking about changing Washington- all the old ideals- then why are they all still in office.  The irony.

Answer 4

Worst Congress ever. At least they made history. Historical low rating, that is. Only 3% of independents approve of Congress! See link below.

Answer 5

Bush inherited a faltering economy from Clinton, the economy having grown only at a 1.1% annualized rate over the previous three quarters from March 31 of the first year of Bush presidency Bush had his tax cut plan approved by Congress in June, proposed early as a response to the economic decline and, despite the aftermath of the 2001 9/11 attacks, managed to keep the country out of recession.  Between 2001 and 2003, the Bush administration instituted 3 federal tax cut for ALL taxpayers.  Overall real GDP has grown at an average annual rate of 2.5%.  He increased funding for the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health in his first years of office, and created education programs to strengthen the grounding in science and mathematics for American high school students.  Bush signed  the Medicare Act of 2003, which added prescription drug coverage to Medicare and created Health Savings Accounts, which would permit people to set aside a portion of their Medicare tax to build a "nest egg". The retired persons lobby group AARP worked with the Bush Administration on the program and gave their endorsement. Bush said the law, estimated to cost US$400 billion over the first 10 years, would give the elderly "better choices and more control over their health care".

In 2006 Bush declared the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands a national monument, creating the largest marine reserve to date. The Papahāanaumokuāakea Marine National Monument comprises 84 million acres (340,000 km²) and is home to 7,000 species of fish, birds and other marine animals, many of which are specific to only those islands. The move was hailed by conservationists for "its foresight and leadership in protecting this incredible area.”  50% of Al-Qaeda higher level members are killed or captured.
