Accomplishments #9 & #10

Accomplishment #9 - The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act. The President attempted to reform the Medicare program and he succeeded with this landmark legislation. No, the votes were not veto-proof (should he not have signed his own initiative) but the legislation was hugely bi-partisan. The AARP endorsed it!

Accomplishment #10 - $15 Billion in AIDS relief for sub-Saharan Africa. This was approved by a voice vote in the Senate (don't know why Senators did not want to be on record for this Bush accomplishment) and passed the House 375 - 41.

Prior Accomplishments:
#8 - Overwhelming Authorization to Use Force in Iraq
#7 - The No Child Left Behind (landmark education reform) Act
#6 - Advancing a peace initiative in the Mid-East
#5 - The PATRIOT ACT.
#4 - The Partial Birth Abortion Ban
#3 - No Nukes Libya.
#2 - The Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.
#1 - No Nukes North Korea
