Ok....true to my word, I will give Bush credit for that one. It happened early into his administration and I had actually forgotten about it. So, I will concede that he is not a COMPLETE failure - (see I do see shades of gray).
However, I disagree with the other "accomplishments" you rattle off. Just because you have a Congress that rubber stamps your bad ideas, doesn't make them accomplishments, unless I guess you could argue that he has been a success in getting bad legislation passed. The result of the majority of the things that you rattled off have not resulted in good things for the country.
For example, you sight his education reform. Even most Republicans will tell you that "no child left behind" has been an utter disaster - leaving more and more children behind because they are developmentally disabled and left to struggle in a system that has taken away the educators tools to assist them.
