All of these pale in significance when compared against two wars and tens (or hundreds?) of thousands dead. The budget mess that Bush caused, and the new associated national debt. The financial crisis. The foreign policy hits. The disabled veterans (both physical and mental injuries).

It is arguable that items 1, 2, 5, 6 and maybe 7 from your points are all directly a result of unwarranted use of force in 'Operation Iraqi Freedom'.

One should not get annoyed at the janitor for cleaning up a bathroom that has been abused.

But by all means, let's return to a Republican administration, with a net loss of jobs, a huge increase on the debt, more outsourcing, loss of real wages and wealth holdings. And them blame the next Democrat that gets to come in and try to clean up the hangover that the republican administration leaves after its 4 (or 8?) year party.

While you may think this a minor aspect of your larger point, we Spartans would dispute this as 'minor'. It is closer to an unintended insult.

Michigan State University is _NOT_ UMich (the University of Michigan).

Calling a Spartan as a rodent might not go over too well. Remember the scene with the well in 300?

There is a serious point in there..somewhere. Green and Blue dont mix very well.
