Ignoring for the time being the political charge on the question itself, I note the following:

Without question, that happened.

Hasn't happened yet (I don't count one election. Saddam had elections. Until there's a constitution, there's no democracy)

Rebuilt New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Hasn't happened yet, almost certainly won't happen on Bush's watch, even if it progresses at the fastest possible pace. Probably at least one, maybe two presidents from now before NOLA is a functional city again.

Option B:
Didn't pay attention and allowed the greatest terror attack in US history to occur.

That happened, if you believe the people whose opinion that is.

Immersed the US in a futile war based on misinformation.

Happened if ditto.
Quote:

Fumbled the ball after Katrina and let down the people of New Orleans.

Happened if ditto.
So--again, setting aside whether you believe about the futility and the misinformation and the rallying and the democracy--I can't help but notice that two out of three items on List A are speculations on things that might occur in the future. All three items on list B are interpretations of things that have already happened.
I conclude that, of these two, list B is the more likely.
