The question is pretty straight forward. What policies and events do you feel warrant Bush's legacy to be considered a failure?
Libertarians and Neo-liberals, can you explain what was wrong with Bush Jr's Presidency?

9/11 involvement
Iraq War handling
Katrina botching/patronage of FEMA president revealing itself
Made the U.S. look bad to other nations with our foreign policy blunders

Reinforcement of the b*stardization of the War Powers Act
Patriot Act
Torture policies
Investing in War infrastructure over public infrastructure/education
Halliburton/KBR wasteful spending in Iraq while on government contracts
Just off the top

No
Bush's policies allowed him to do that by making them seem normal
That's why I said the PNAC damage was irreversible, the Gov't got that taste of expanded power and aren't giving it back

This is not a Bush support thread.
In the 2008 election, President Obama campaigned on change we can believe in - a progressive platform. In 2012, he campaigned off the back of OWS and the 99%. His entire argument against Romney was based on the slogans and energy of the progressive platform.
Here we are in 2016, and folks are arguing, not for progressivism, but moderate domestic policies, neo con foreign diplomacy, and pragmatic posturing in public.
So this thread is really based on two questions:
- If you're a neoliberal, what exactly about Bush's policies were you against from 2000-08?
- If you're a neoliberal, what were the changes you believed in, in 2008, that lead you to vote for Obama over Hillary?
