On the positive side of the Bush record

http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/38815

This article highlights an accomplishment of Bush's; the fact that the last seven years have been free of successful terrorist attacks, and the nation's present ability to deal with such an incident if it should occur, even one involving weapons of mass destruction.
The author's tone is a little sarcastic, and he does not say outright that this is an accomplishment; he only says that Bush's supporters consider it an accomplishment. Still, at the end of the article he states: "One might challenge contentions that Bush should get credit for the absence of major terrorist activity at home. But to do so would be to deny the long-held belief that what happens on a president's watch accrues to him either favorably or unfavorably."
