Accomplishment #11 - The overwhelming Senate confirmation votes for Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court John G. Roberts, Secretary of State (African-American) Colin Powell, Secretary of State (African-American) Dr. Condoleezza Rice (a Bush crony; odd, that a black woman can fit such a description for a man called Bull Connor by Rep. Charles Rangel), U.S. Attorney General (Hispanic-American) Alberto Gonzalez (another Bush crony; my goodness, doesn't this President have any white, male cronies?), Secretary of Commerce (Hispanic-American) Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (African-American) Alphonso Jackson.

I could have broken this down into six separate Accomplishments but there is no sense in piling on.

Next, this President has bona fide African-American and Hispanic (and Female -I didn't even mention Karen Hughes until now) friends yet the liberal media paints him as a racist (and a sexist). Would a President Hillary Clinton or John Kerry have so much color in their Cabinet? And, if they did, would it be for show or because they got the right person? Can anyone really argue that Dr. Rice is not already an extremely accomplished Secretary of State?

On just the first vote, for Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, President Bush nominated a man that got half (22 of 44) the Democrat vote in the Senate. Yes, all the Presidential hopefuls voted against for political reasons but the sensible others voted for John G. Roberts. 78 - 22 for a Chief Justice in a polarized 2005! Is there no end to the "uniting"?
