2003 (Addendum)

I forgot about the now infamous (and forgotten) blackout of 2003. On August 14, the lights went out. 50 million people in Ontario and eight U.S. states lost power. Most had power restored the following day. An antiquated power grid caused the blackout. No one has fixed it.

The blackout was the first in a series of infrastructure failures during the Bush years. The failures themselves were not his doing. However, the president has done nothing to improve infrastructure. In fairness, neither has anyone in congress.
