1. He gave out tax cuts during a recession against every sane economist's
recommendations.

The recession is over. It has been for a while now, and this isn't just
me saying, "I think it's over", by the definition of an economic
recession, it's been over for months. In any case, I think tax cuts are
one of the best things for the economy at almost any time.

2. He gave massive corporate welfare to the steel industry, textiles and
agrobusiness.

I hear you on this. I'm really getting weary of corporate bailouts. On
one hand, manufacturing got hammered over the last few years, but this
kind of constantly fiscal meddling violates the principles of a free
market.

3. He started a war that we had to pick up the entire tab for, unlike Gulf
I.

I don't agree with this statement in letter or spirit, but it's a matter
of perception, and a debate on it will be circular and pointless. You
certainly won't change my mind, and I doubt I'll change yours.
