The Bush administration gave us some tax cuts, and I wouldn't complain about that normally... but they did not match the tax cuts with spending cuts... in fact, they have been increasing their spending at 9% per year! Under Bush, jobs have been lost in nearly every sector of the economy except government, where jobs have risen at a healthy pace! And the few areas where cuts have been made, they're simply passing the buck to states and local governments, so state and local taxes are raised.
The result is a mess, a $500 billion+ annual budget defecit, the federal government spending 5 dollars for every 4 it takes in... state and local budgets in crisis in many many areas... another 4 years of this and we'll have the worst economic disaster of our lifetimes on our hands.
So I've got to respectfully decline your advice on voting for Bush...
