Unfortunately, he's also signed the McCain-Feingold campaign finance act which limited free speech and opened up the doors to financial tsunamis, signed the highway bill funding Alaskas bridge to nowhere, appointed a horseshow guy to head FEMA, and spent like a democrat.

1) How does testing and "every child gets left behind" help schools?
2) He ignored memos from the Clinto administration about possible terrorist activity, which led to 9/11, then attacked a country under the guise of WMDs, while disregarding the UN watchdogs information that there were none. Guess what, there weren't!
3) Why not help welfare recipients get jobs, not put them further in debt?
4) Though, I think that the Supreme Court should be an impartial body. I don't like the idea of the Republicans controlling all three branches of government, including the House and Senate.
Also, WTF? "spent like a democrat?" His spending is out of control, but democrats typically raise money for their spending, not cut taxes. Wasn't the highest budget surplus under a Democrat? I do believe it was. However, the two highest deficits were under both Bushes.
