Accomplishments #7 & #8

Accomplishment #7 - Legislation co-written by the President of the United States George W. Bush and the second most liberal member of the Senate, Sen. Edward Kennedy, The No Child Left Behind Act. It simply does not get anymore "uniting" that actually writing legislation with this true, liberal extremist. The legislation was agreed to by the House 381 - 41 and by the Senate 87 - 10. Both the President and the Senator got passed the rhetoric and agreed to this landmark education reform legislation.

Accomplishment #8 - The vote to Authorize the Use of Force in Iraq. The "authorization" was agreed to in the House 296 - 133. Sen. John F. Kerry, Sen. Hillary Clinton, and Sen. John Edwards, to name just a few Democrats (these are noteworthy for their liberalism and their presidential aspirations) voted with the majority in a 77 - 23 vote. Uniting and foreign affairs gravitas all rolled into one.
