No, he did not -- George Walker Bush undoubtedly remains the most incompetent and mentally challenged president the US has had to suffer, and should have been impeached long ago along with all the members of his Administration who led the United States Of America into a bloody, unnecessary, expensive war against Iraq -- They are responsible personally for the deaths of four-thousand U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, not to mention the maiming of countless thousands of both groups.
The actions of the Bush Administration have brought international shame to the nation that will take generations to correct and have stimulated the recruitment of terrorists in numbers that Bin Laden in his wildest fantasies could not have posted.

Changed the tone in the White House, restoring HONOR and DIGNITY to the presidency. Has reintroduced the mention of God and faith into public discourse. Handled himself with enormous courage, dignity, grace, determination, and leadership in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 hijackings and anthrax attacks. He almost single-handedly held this country together during those searing days: Just three days after the attacks, in his address at the National Cathedral, the President reassured the nation when he said: "War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing."
On Friday, September 14, 2001, President Bush visited Ground Zero. Standing on a crushed and burned fire engine atop the smoldering pile at Ground Zero, he put his arm around a retired firefighter who had volunteered to help, and began speaking to the crowd. Rescue workers shouted that they could not hear him. Someone handed him a small American flag and bullhorn. The President spontaneously shouted: "I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon." The crowd roared with cheers and chants of "USA! USA! USA!" Then he raised that American flag and rallied a nation:
