Talk:Domestic policy of the George W. Bush administration

message: Why are there quotation marks aroung War on Terror?  No one would say "World War II," "Civil War," or "Vietnam War."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.90.143.2 (talk) 23:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems a little odd to have a picture of Bush at a G8 conference shaking hands with a foreign leader at the top of an article on domestic policy.  — Nathanlarson32767  (Talk) 06:47, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: G8 picture

message: Since the other title is so bad, and this article has more structure, format and content, Domestic policy of George W. Bush should be merged in here. For a large article like this i suppose you guys have some kind of structure thing going on, so it shouldn't take too long even though it looks like it would. Jdcooper 11:47, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps there could be a separate article for Bush's economic policy?  Rather than throwing it under Domestic Policy?  (after all, Social Security has its own article...)Fephisto 00:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Some issues:
"The percent of the population below the poverty level increased in each of Bush's first four years, while it decreased for each of the prior seven years to an 11-year low. Although the poverty level increased the increase was still lower from 2000 to 2002 than it was from 1992 to 1997 (which reached a peak of 39.3% in 1993). In 2002 the poverty rate was 34.6% which was almost equal to the rate in 1998, which was 34.5%. Poverty was at 12.7% in 2004"
This is a confusing paragraph and inaccurate. The poverty rate was certainly never 34.6% in 2002.  What does this number represent?
"Under the Bush administration, productivity has grown by an average of 3.76 percent per year, the highest such average in ten years."
Where does this number come from?  It cites a primary source in the bls link.  What years are being averaged and what column is being used?  Also, what is this in comparison too?Gmb92 05:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Was not the first president, as stated by Wikipedia to appoint openly gay men and lesbians.  President Clinton, January 6, 1999 nominated James C. Hormel to be the U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg.  A hand full of conservative Senators blocked the nomination and on June 4, 1999 President Clinton announced the recess appointment of James Hormel, making Mr. Hormel the first openly gay U.S. Ambassador.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.106.250.6 (talk) 17:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey there Fellow Wikipedians
For over two years, this article has desperately needed a new lead section, and it is finally here.
If you would be kind enough to look at it and provide feedback that would be amazing!
My talk page is simple but available if you want to give me more information and/or pointers!

replies: text: Your effort in updating the lede shows that one cannot rely on the form of a lede in an existing article as being an example of a good lede.  It's kind of like saying ... "the President is the person who has been sworn in as President after having been selected as President in accordance with the Constitution".  (I am not sure that my example quite captures the essence of the problem with the lede that you used.)  Also, you should consider more careful proofreading before asking for comments.
