Carpenters or plumbers need a diploma before they can start working. Becoming president is not linked to any diploma; all you need is enough voters to become president, or enough money to buy votes. For some presidents they needed the voters to be idiots, but apparently they weren't that difficult to be found. Even reelection wasn't a problem at all. But if the majority got what they wanted ( after all the US is a democracy, or not?) why do so many complain now? I must admit that in Europe we have the same problem but in a lesser degree. In this matter we must agree that the US have the biggest of the world. But we don't envy the US for that.
Unoriginal or not has nothing to do with the "achievements" of Bush. The results are there. Under who's presidency Iraq was attacked? Which president told lies about the so called nuclear and chemical tread of Iraq? Under who's presidency dollars were, and still are, printed when needed? Under who's presidency energy prices surged to astronomical heights? Under who's presidency terrorism grew exponentially? Which president got so much famous americans against him when he ran for reelections? Which president got so much critics from the western allies and was even abandoned by them, except for Great Britain? Probably all these things are coincidences. So maybe Bush will go in history as the best president ever.
maybe iraq has been attacked for a greater plan: to clear the way for an attack on iran, which really need to be attacked. more in reference to the OP, GWB did fail to reorganize the tax system into a flat tax system or even better "fair tax" but i suppose he is too conservative for that
You really think you are in better shape over in europe than we are in the US? If you do, I've got some enron stock for you.

You want to know who attacked iraq. The coalition of the willing did. You want to know which pres told lies about iraq threat. Clinton and Chiraq did. Try squirming out of the fact that they both talked of these threats before Bush was even elected. Which pres printed dollars? Every president we've ever had. Don't yours? Which pres did terrorism grow exp? Clinton. Which pres got famous americans against him? Name any conservative president. Which president got critics from europe? Any president who is not a neo-communist. Now that I've answered these, how about you answering some questions. There are dictators in Africa having people killed by the thousands with machetes in Africa. How come no words from you about them, just how much you hate Bush. There are regimes in certain countries where people are being enslaved because of their ethnicities right now, yet you show no contempt for them, just Bush. Why? I think we already know the answer. We are richer and more powerful than you and that really sticks in your craw, doesn't it?
