All presidents have their good points and bad points, their ups and downs. Is President Bush perfect? Absolutely not. But no other president before him has been perfect. Has he done the best he can with the information given? I believe so. Do I want to be at war in Iraq with soldiers being killed over there? No, but I guarantee if Kerry had been president and had the same information Bush did, he would have done the same thing. We're all so quick to judge, but he's doing the best he can. I'm so glad that we can have a moral man in the White House. Someone with scruples.

Umm, first of all, I should point out that the next election isn't until 2008... and I am quite sure that Hillary Clinton will run, and she has my vote.\n\nAs for good ol' Jeb... no way in HEL* will we screw up this country any more than it already is by letting another Bush take over this country.  That's were America messed herself in the first place.... \n\nMy George W. took over his Daddy's war from Dessert Storm of 91' and look were we are!  $40.00 to fill up my little Sun Fire?  Gas, milk, bread... everything has gone up but our paychecks....\n\nDidn't mean to rant and rave... but our President SUCKS!  IMPEACH BUSH!

America is ready for a President of any color or gender.  The question is, will American's vote for such a person?  If the right candidate presents him or her self, I think they can get elected.  Right now, though, nobody appears to be this person.  Jesse Jackson?  Yeah, right.  Way too radical, even for some African Americans.  Condoleeza Rice?  No way - she has too much of Bush's dirt on her hands.  Colin Powell?  A possibility, but he has the Bush problem as well, and besides, he has said he doesn't want to run for political office.  Maybe in 2012 a guy like Barak Obama from Illinois can run and win.  I think its more likely that we will see a female President first, like Hillary Clinton.  She is probably going to be the Democratic nominee in 2008, and the Republicans will be hard pressed to find a competitive candidate after all that Bush has done as President.  The country is tired of Republican policy, and are looking for a change.

President Bush is a wonderful president! And you are wrong in the polls...the latest polls show a 40% rating. 82% percent of this poll are Republicans. Now I will tell you why I totally respect our president.... I hope I don't leave anything out!!\n\n1. Low unemployment (5.3 million new jobs)\n2. Excellent growth. \n3. Low inflation (under 3% ... In spite of gas prices)\n4. Low interest rates. \n5. Bush has given tax breaks back to the working class.\n6. Has lead the world in aid to Africa.\n7. He has appointed more minorities to the highest levels in government.\n8. He has increased spending on education, environment, social programs, Medicaid and drug plans.\n9. He has extended tax cuts. \n10.The economy is still stable in spite of the war and Katrina.\n\nAnd:\n\nHe has restored our moral values. He relies on God for guidance in his decision making. (His ethics and moral values are those seen of Godly men.)\nHe cares enough to try to make this country a better and safer place?\nHe openly asks for solutions from both parties. (but because of their political agendas would rather his polices fail then for them to work as a team to better this country.)\n\nAnd the war in Iraq has brought down an evil dictator, Saddam, and freed the Iraqis to begin a new government. They now have a Prime Minister and a full Cabinet, and have established their own Constitution. They have soldiers in training and a police force. And the Iraqis are thankful to our troops for their help and support in all these things.\n\nAnd now, our troops, our coalition, and the Iraqi police have brought down and killed the evil terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Since his death, many raids (400+) and many documents and have lead to the capture of other terrorist.\n\nPresident Bush has accomplished much... In spite of bashing from the media and the left...\n\nUnfortunately, the "leftist" and Liberals will see nothing but negativity in our President. They will continue to make fun of his way of talking, the way he looks, the way he walks, and never give him any credit for any of the good he has done. \n\nThis bashing and disrespect is sad that they choose to do this instead of supporting him. However, President Bush will just continue doing the job he was elected to do, inspite of them.

I have problems With President Bush, but I believe that he has gotten some bad advice and has surrounded himself with people who don't have the nation's best interest at heart.  I voted for him simply because I didn't want Kerry to become leader of the free world.  As for my vote, who knows, it might count, it might not.  I still vote with high hopes and low expectations.

You had to know that this question would bring the liberals out of the woodwork.  President Bush has done a great job. No president will please all of the people. I am amazed more at the hatred than anything else.  When I was reading the responses to your question, I found it interesting that many felt he had turned his back on them. When???   What do they want him to do?  Most importantly why not hold all of congress responsible for their votes and behavior, why pin it all on President Bush?  I do mean all of congress too, take a look at everyones voting records, I think some would be surprised.

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.

You know, I hadn't thought about it before this moment, but he would be perfect. He would make the (Presidential) collection complete.  Plus, he really knows what's best for all of us, I mean he was talking for year about throwing all of those drug addict in jail.  That is just what is need.  You have a great mind full of great ideas gottianatomy.  Thank for the idea.  I will vote for him for president.

I wouldn't go have a beer with the guy, but I respect what he's done so far. It's a tough job that most people wouldn't want, and he could have done worse.  He's had a tough road from day one with the 2000 elections, 9/11, then the Iraq war.  \n\nI think he gets a bad rap because he's not as polished as most politicians.  I don't agree with some of his policies (religion, gays, etc), but overall I think he is a patriot with our best intentions in mind.\n\nThe bottom line:  I like him, and I respect the job he's done.

no,  he's an asshole.\n\nhe may be a deciding asshole but he's still an asshole.\n\ntom\namerican\n\n(and my apologies to the world for electing him president.  I didn't vote for him either time. I knew that he lied.)

Hillary for President would be awesome. We could get our country back on track again, and begin repairing all the damage Bush has done!\n\nHere's a good "Hillary For President" page...\nhttp://go-hillary.group.stumbleupon.com/

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!

c sense go ahead and make Hillary for prez then the world will unite in LAUGHTER! \n\nObama too new and doesn't stand a chance in 2008. Biden flip flops, Ford (which one?) Dean Screamer perfect for the dems. Kerry his intelluenge on the meitarly made him the new jane fonda. Gore is a whiney little bitch who thinks in his warped little mind he created the internet. \n\nBoy cant wait to see how bad things get screwed up again starting in 2007.

It does not scare me that a Democrat could become President, and I am a conservative Republican. What scares me is one of the ones constantly mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate (Hillary, Kerry, etc) could become President. I vote in terms of best person for the job. I do not inherently vote party lines. But these ones constantly being mentioned, especially Hillary Clinton, are uber-liberal whack jobs. It would indeed harm the country.

Hilary is a bright, tough lady.  I think she would make a great President, almost as good as Bill was. (Lousy husband, GREAT President). She's very savvy politcally and maybe she can figure some way out of this morass the Bush Bunch got us into.  Man, he couldn't wait to invade Iraq, could he? First Cabinet meeting, he told them he wanted to find a way to do it. Congratulations, Bushy, ya done it!\n\nAnd how about that deficit? Wow!  You set a record there, George.  Highest in our history.  \n\nAnd, let's don't forget, you're our first (s)elected President.  YAY!!!!

A woman as president? let see England hasn't done too bad. If a good woman ran I would vote for her. Any person that is capable of moving the country forward deserves the chance. As for all the people that are condemning Bush, DID YOU VOTE??! because if you didn't you have no right to complain.
