George W. Bush's Legacy

I found the question about George Bush interesting so I would like to post some information from a website that I found very interesting:

With Ronald Reagan we remember:
The Cold War
The Berlin Wall
The assassination attempt
The Iran-Contra scandal
Reaganomics
Nancy’s “Just say ‘no’” policy
Grenada
Booming 80's economy resurgence

With George Herbert Walker Bush we remember:
“Read my lips, no new taxes”
Desert Storm
Dan Quayle misspelling ‘potato’
The fall of the Soviet Union
Americans With Disabilities Act
Panama / Noriega
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I)

With William Jefferson Clinton we remember:
Monica Lewinsky
A thriving economy
Somalia
NAFTA
DMCA
Serbia / Kosovo
