A lot of change our country didn't want!

As I recall, he campaigned on "compassionate conservatism" mainly, true conservative ideals (he failed his base in that regard), on restoring honor and dignity to the White House (that depends on your definition of honor & dignity, I guess), emphasizing morality and faith based initiatives appeal to his evangelistic base), and doing something about those dastardly "entitlement" programs like Medicare and Social Security (he failed in the SS efforts, and he did just the OPPOSITE in the Medicare area, signing the largest and most expensive broadening of an entitlement program in our country's history....the Medicare Reform Act that is basically a giveaway to pharmaceutical companies and provides some Rx coverage to seniors).

He was a miserable failure. The world knows it.
