Hes a baaad man. Here are some reasons:\n25 REASONS TO FEEL BAD ABOUT BUSH\n\nEconomic Indicators\n\n1. The unemployment rate averaged 4.1 percent in 2000 and reached a 30 year low of 3.9 percent in October 2000. Today, the unemployment rate has increased to 5.7 percent. There are presently 8.1 million unemployed Americans, an increase of 2.5 million compared to 2000\n\n2. The number of Americans experiencing long-term unemployment-over 27 weeks-has almost doubled in the last year.\n\n3. Job creation has reversed. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the economy created 1.7 million new jobs. This trend has been reversed, and the economy has lost almost 1.5 million jobs since President Bush took office in January 2001.\n\n4. Poverty is increasing. After decreasing for eight straight years and reaching its lowest level in 25 years, the poverty rate increased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 11.7 percent in 2001. In the first year of the Bush administration, 1.3 million Americans slipped back into poverty, with a total of 32.9 million Americans living in poverty in 2001.\n\n5. Incomes are falling. After increasing every year since 1991, and reaching an all time high in 2000, median household income in the United States fell 2.2 percent in 2001. Median incomes fell for households in every income group in the country except for those earning over $150,000.\n\n6. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are filing for bankruptcy. Almost 800,000 Americans filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2002. In the second quarter of 2002, over 400,000 bankruptcies were filed in the United States, an all-time record.\n\n7. Mortgage foreclosures are at record highs. In the second quarter of 2002, 1.23 percent of home loans were in the foreclosure process, a record level. Over this same time period, almost 5 percent of mortgage loans were delinquent, up almost 20 percent from the average delinquency rate in 2000.\n\n8. The federal budget deficit is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, showed a surplus of $86.6 billion. The most recent figures from the Congressional Budget Office indicate that for FY 2002, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, will show a deficit of $314 billion.\n\n9. This represents the largest budget decline in U.S. history, and it is the third-largest on-budget deficit in history, exceeded in size only by the deficits of 1991 and 1992 under the first President Bush. Health Care Indicators\n\n10.The number of Americans without health insurance is increasing. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of uninsured Americans fell by 600,000.\n\n11. But this trend has reversed itself and in 2001 the number of uninsured Americans increased by 1.4 million.\n\n12. Over 41 million Americans — 14.6 percent of the population — had no health insurance coverage in 2001.\n\n13. The percentage of small businesses offering insurance to their employees fell by 10 percent between 2000 and 2002.\n\n14. Insurance costs increased by 12.7 percent in 2002, the second consecutive year of double-digit increases and the largest annual increase in costs since 1990.\n\n15. Prescription drug prices increased by almost twice the rate of inflation in 2001.\n\n16. For seniors, who use the most prescription drugs, cost increases were even higher. The cost of the 50 most popular drugs for seniors increased by 7.8 percent in 2001, over three times the rate of inflation. The price of Prilosec, the most popular drug for seniors, increased at over four times the rate of inflation.\n\nCrime and Drug Use Indicators\n\n17.The crime rate is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the crime rate reached its lowest level since 1972. This represented the culmination of a 22 percent decrease in crime during the 1990s.\n\n18. But in 2001, the crime rate increased by 2.2 percent. The murder rate increased by 3.1 percent, the robbery rate increased by 3.9 percen

I think he is over paid and under qualified. The man has blown two wars and still has a job. I mean, how many Americans can say they are completly incompetent at work yet still have a job? I know I can't. If military personell screw up they get punished under the UCMJ,( Military Law) but if the civilian leadership screws up they just get a slap on the back and another shot to screw it up again later. He should step down AND be held accountable for his actions. He has a total disregard for the educated opinion of military veterans and general officers. He believe he has the ultimate authority for the military and it's about time the American people show him that WE contol our government and militray. Lets get him out of there!

Bush is a sad case, he is so out of control that he doesn't realize it, but in his defense the lack of control is not necessarily his fault.  He has a cabinet of slimy corrupt money/power hungry friends that are influencing his decisions in a very detrimental way.

I also like him, he is not a pansy like we would have been stuck with if that other idiot would have gone into office, I can say I dont always agree with Bush, but for the most part I like him, and I wish people would just shut the hell up, or get the hell out of my country.

Have you heard him speak lately, its hysterical! He was bad enough durring the Presidential election but now he has really lost, kind of like AL Gore did.He cant even keep a store straight in a 5 minute interview. Its a really sad statement about the state of our country that we came close to electing these to idiots as our leader.I am not a huge George W fan, but think that he's done what he has thought best for the country and not what will boost his ratings in the opinion polls... but I guess that is obvious!

I do not complain about President Bush.  I know tons of people that do, but, I feel the guy is doing the best he can.  We re-elected him to finish a job and that we must do!  We look bad when be bad mouth our own.  Yeah, I mean freedom of speech is OK and all, but we as Americans just go for the throat most of the time.  \n\nGreetings from Beautiful New York City, USA!!!

I agree!! He should be put in jail along with ALL the traitor libs that are undermining the war on terror!! He is probably the one who leaked classified information to the NY times!! It would definately make the war run smoother.. Anyone who undermines our president should be locked up!!

No I do not like him - becuz he looks like a monkey, he doesn't give good speeches, he is shuting down all sorts of public help including special education, he won't get our troops out of Iraq, and has no deadline to do so. You just can't trust what he will do next.

I disagree with knowsigns... that was one mistake clinton made, but what about the mistakes Buh has made? I'm a New Yorker and was deeply affected by the 9/11 tragedy. What did Bush do about that tragedy? Invade the privacy of millions of Americans  right? What should he have done? If you read Time magazine you would've read a punchline about how some director is making a movie about the search for osama bin laden, it's 300 hours long with no ending. That is precisely the kind of search President Bush led. I am oly 12 and you cannot guess how strong the deep contempt for the failed capture of Osama Bin Laden is. During that search he went off into Iraq, called it operation Iraqi Liberation, or: O.I.L. What did he want? the destroyer of America in jail, or oil? He didn't even need oil then. I know what people will say that he didn't do it for oil, but how sure can you be? My theory about why he changed Operation Iraqi Liberation's name was because OPEC told him you can't have our oil. He didn't want to look stupid that's why he changed the name! In my point of view Bush is the worst president we possibly could have at times like this when theres a war being waged in Iraq!! I'm only 12 years old and i feel this way, call me an anger bomb just waiting to explode, but i would say some very "colorful" things about our dear president if i didn't have faith in the Americans that trusted him.

Why would you even put this on here? Do you dislike him or just trying to to be smart about. If he did something wrong to you just remember 2 wrongs never make a right.C

I dont have an opinion of him. I do think he has surrounded himself with people that are way to close to him which has hurt thier ability to offer him un-biased insight. i.e George Tenet, Dick Cheney, Harriet Myers, Karl Rove. It would be like if you got elected president and you made all your Fraternity Brothers and all your High School buddies your top advisers, I mean how much do you think is really gonna get done? I have heard that he will not fire anyone he is to afraid of what they might think of him. It goes all the way back to his days as a Texas oil tycoon. His heart is in the right place, he thinks what he is doing is the right thing and once he makes up his mind your are not changing in it cause he thinks hes right, you gotta respect that whether or not you agree with him it is an admirable quality. But the bottom line............you cant impeach someone for being a dumb@ss thats the only crime hes guilty of.\n\n\nIm pretty much Independent when it comes to politics but i am so sick of hearing the Left WIng Loons talk about impeachment and what a horrible job the President has done and how Iraq is a mess. Maybe those things are true but they havent brought one positive idea to the table...........not one. Whats the Democrats plan? I havent heard one except wave the white flag and run home and impeach the president...........I mean come on is that the best you can do, what are we paying these people for?\n\n\nAs far as the Wiretapping goes. There are 2 kinds of people in this world now. You either live in a pre-9-11 mentality or a post 9-11 mentality. Quit listening to the bleeding heart media and open your eyes. There are people who want to destroy us and if running some wiretaps and some other clandestine stuff is gonna keep me alive and not speaking Arabic, then im all for it. Bush is trying to keep us safe.........I dont really like him i think hes kinda of an idiot myself, but hes trying cut the man some slack. He got dealt a raw deal by being in the chair when 9-11 happend and hes responding the best way he knows how.

I think he is in deep, deep trouble over this one.  His answers on the News tonight left a lot to be desired......\n\n(I bet the Americans have not got a clue what we are on about.  Also, very nice to see correct spelling and grammar).

He has an ignorant chip on his shoulder asnd I cant wait for him to get out of office.  He has really put the US behind 6 yrs.  Clinton was impeached for lieing, but he lies, hook his "friends" up and fuck ship up and he gets a nother term.  Boy, the next president will have a lot to clean up after him!\nsmooches!

He's obviously not too bright if he couldn't forsee the disaster in his words before he spoke them. At the very least, he should have recognized their "double meaning". Although I think it is more than a stretch to imply his words were intended ONLY FOR THE PRESIDENT!?!?!\n\nAnyone in his position for as long as he has been in politics... There is no excuse for an error of this magnitude especially on the eve of elections. \n\nI can't help but think now and again that there is something else going on here, more to it. Regardless, I can't stand the man.
