Any positives from 8 years of GW Bush?

As we are entering the last months of George W Bush's presidency and the attention focused on Barack Obama and John McCain,one writer has decided to look for see if there are any achievements of the 8 years that are worthy of mention.

Writing At Mother Jones,Jonathan Stein concludes that there are some but they are weighed heavily against by the negatives.

This is what he considers to be the positives

1.Humanitarian Aid in Africa

in the president's first term, the US more than doubled development assistance to Africa and helped secure $34 billion in debt relief for 19 African countries. Today, foreign aid across the globe is three times what it was upon Bill Clinton's departure, though it is still lower, as a percentage of GDP, than most developed nations.

2.Tsunami Relief which sprung into action a lot quicker than aid following Hurricane Katrina.

3.Marine Protections although as he points out

The administration took no meaningful action on global warming over the course of its eight years, which may render all of its scant environmental good deeds moot.

4.Bush has appointed more women and minorities to high-level posts than any other president in history

And that is it?
