Bush abandoned Afghanistan. Which is why Obama had to go back. Bush then got us quagmired in Iraq for no reason at all. Obama got us out of that. Couldn't necessarily save the dishes and silverware, but indeed we are out after proving only that some people learned nothing from Vietnam. Oh, and that bin Laden guy is dead too.
LOL! Policy doesnt enter into it. Since 1969, we've had a budget deficit every year but four. All under Clinton. But thanks to Bush, you will not live to see that happen again.
Got history? Attempts to get a national health insurance program in place in this country go back nearly a century to the AALL/AMA effort just before WWI. It was overtaken by events. The Depression and WWII overshadowed further efforts such as those by the CCMC and FDR's National Health Act of 1939. Truman pushed hard for a national single-payer plan after the war, but in the era of the Red Scare, idiot reactionaries were able to associate it with Communism and it too died. In the 1950's, progressives changed tactics and in the end were able to pass Medicare and Medicaid. Nixon and Ted Kennedy were very close to agreement on a national health care program, but it was overtaken by Watergate. Clinton's efforts in the early 1990's followed some earlier ones in falling victim to tactical errors. Finally, Obama came around to the back door and had Congress write the plan and HCR was passed at last. Bush? Not a player.
DOEd has been there since Carter. No one intends to knock it down. Big words are all hot air.
Again, the history. NCLB originated under LBJ. Bush just changed the name in 2001 because at that time, he wanted to be "The Education President" when he grew up. Curricula are of course defined at the state and local level and so is testing. Testing was obviously not new either, but high-stakes "teaching to the test" was, and nobody much liked that or the unfunded mandate part of things or the draining of funds out of schools that needed them most. As the result, NCLB was essentially gutted by Obama in 2011. His new bill was passed in the Senate, but faced yet another partisan blockade over in the House. So Obama used an Executive Order to provide waivers to more than half the states (the ones with a lot of at-risk kids and schools), removing them from coverage under the act. NCLB is effectively dead. You think killing it is the same as supporting it.
You didn't do your homework. But you can copy off mine if you like and impress friends and family with how much you learned in school today.
