Changes

I'm open to adding these sections back - but I just wanted to explain why I removed them (and to be 100% honest i do think the article works better without them - again keeping in mind we're hoping to keep it concise - for the reasons stated):

*I removed a section on "Abortion rights" - mostly because as President he hasn't done that much in that much - and what he did do in the State Senate (which was a lot) was previously mentioned. We do link to his ideology article.

*I also removed the fiscal policy section - it mentioned two critiques: extending the Bush tax cuts across the board - which was a well known political compromise (and to be fair compromises are fair game for criticism, but just this wouldn't warrant its own section) and it said that a proposed Obama plan would raise taxes on the poor - however that was the proposed plan and not what was actually passed.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 20:03, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

:I also removed the terrorist attacks statement - some of which was unfounded (it cited attempted terrorist attacks), and also I'm not sure it's completely fair to compare domestic relatively minor incidents to a international attack that killed 3,000. I'm not saying Bush is at all to blame for the international attack, but rather I just don't think that's a strong argument.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 20:05, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

But again, the main reason I removed these sections was because I was keeping article length in mind (and also I think the intro to the presidency reads a little better now).--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 20:05, 7 May 2011 (EDT)
