The president's main job is to enforce the laws via the executive branch and to defend the country against all enemies. In this, I think Bush has done a good job. Not great, but good.

I can only imagine what would have happened if Gore had been in office during 9/11. We probably would have gone whining to the UN about police actions or some such rot. OBL and his extremist buddies would have taken us for weak fools, and we would have been attacked again and again. Has there been another attack since 9/11? No....so that's how I know that Bush has done a good job.

Like it or not, Bush's most important mandate is to defend the USA. If he has to step on a few toes around the world to do so, then that's fine with me. Like 3rd_degree says, we'll see what happens.
