4 years on - Scorecard of Bush Re-election Campaign Promises 2004

At the RNC National Convention in 2004, George W Bush accepted his party's nomination. I have culled together a list of quotations from that speech, in which he targeted specific goals of his second term. Let's rate the success of these goals.

Star Rating Scale: 1 = Dismal Failure / 2 = No advances made / 3 = Some ground made / 4 = Partial success / 5 = Absolute success
