Actually, the stem cell research he vetoed was on fetal stem cells which has NEVER produced any results, while adult stem cells have, makes more sense to me to pour more money in adult stem cell research (which he has done) than to waste time on something that has NEVER produced a single positive result. This topic is just one for people to complain about with no grounds to stand on. I disagree with BUSH a lot, mainly his over abundant spending habits. But this is one area I see no reason to spend further money in a fruitless process....use the money for other stem cell research which is working makes more sense.
Saying he is a good president because he is a faithful Christian and supports religion is a naive statement. No leader should be judged on his faith....
As for how he handled Iraq and post 9-11...only time will reflect that. Lincoln wasn't well liked during his presidency either, but was later viewed as the greatest president in our history....
