Obama beats Bush!

There wasn't a terrorist attack on US soil before Sept. 11 of Obama's first year, so he wins. All the Bushies' worries were for naught. Resume civil liberties.

He's also kept way more promises than he broke.

I think its been a fairly succsessful first 6-7 months or as much as one could reasonably exprect.

With some significant legislative/regulatory achievements:

* SCHIP reauthorization, extending health care to 3-4 million kids of working class families w/o insurance
* Credit card bill of rights legislation
* Pay equity legisation - giving women greater rights to pursue pay discrimation
* Public lands restoration legislation- protecting millions of new acres public lands by expanding nation parks system
* Economic stimulus program as promised with the economy no longer on the brink
* Health care reform - looking achievable by the end of the year
* Financial regulatory reform in the works
* Federal procurement reform in the works
* Ended the "mexico city" gag rule on NGO funding

Not to mention overturning the worst of the last eight years:

* An order to end enhanced interrogation (torture) of detainees
* A directive to make FOIA request more open and responsive

Yep... a pretty good first six-seven months. with some disappointments:

* far more open and transparent than Bush, but more can be done
* overpromsied on the speediness of economic recovery
* Afhganistan - nuf said

"Obama beats Bush!"

How do you know when he screwed her bush? You don't even know if she shaves it so there might not even be a bush. :p

Is trying to gain popularity through people's children called "beating Bush"?

Or is that called "beating the bushes"?
