Yes, he is probably the worst Pres. we've ever had. He and his friends have ruined this country for everyone not just black people. They have destroyed the economy, the environment; they're responisble for illegal immigrants, jobs being outsourced, and thousands who died in a war based on a lie. Please vote in the next election and vote Dem.

You know at one time I really believed that to be true until the last two elections I noticed that there were  several African Americans that were in the public eye advocating for republicans It really blew my mind that they were as stupid as the rest of America. Sorry if someone gets offended but Clinton in spite of his personal infidelities he did have America making money and not spending it. He did not lie in order to take out revenge on a country for trying to assassinate his father. Costing lives. Anyway  I believe that African Americans were originally Republicans. But they got smart and decided that they did not believe the Republicans had the little mans best interest in mind. Fat cats got fatter poor got poorer and the middle class is destined to be completely eliminated. I also observed that the African Americans that were republican were born with money or were of a higher economic standard than the average African American.

Reagan was one of the most racist people there was.  He coined the phrase "welfare queens" and made being an open racist ok for a lot of people.  He didnt give a damn about HIV because as far as he was concerned it didnt affect him and it did affect groups of people he didnt like anyway, gays and blacks.  Well if we learned one thing from ignoring the drug problems in this country when it was mostly a problem in the black ghettos we should have learned that eventually that which affects one of us will affect us all.  AIDS has spread to every group of Americans.

I don't care what Clinton did in his personal life. It's none of my business like it's none of these others responding to this question. Clinton did his job...better than Bush. He had more sense than Bush too. When you see you're people getting killed left and right (Somalia) pull them motherf***ers out of there and get out of dodge. Makes common sense. You don't keep sending more in because of your stubbornness and pride to the i won't lose syndrome. You're going to lose the war and get thousands of families killed for no reason. I'd never vote for Bush any of them his cousin soon to be on the way in office either. I never voted for none of them and I'm glad I didn't. Thanks Bill Clinton for giving the economy it's best years since the 1980's. I can't say yeah, those were the good old days when this decade is over with. I never in my life had years were I said "I don't want to remember those years." until Bush came in office. As a black man, I know that Clinton if I were walking down the street he'd speak to me and probably have dinner with me. I doubt very seriously if i were by myself Bush would speak to me if he seen me on the street. Condeleeza Rice is just a front to make him not appear racist to the media. That's the only reason she got that high position. Yo, i'm out of here. All of this talk about bush is about to make me head for the trash can.(Going to Earl) I'm out man!

i dont think race had anything to do with it.  i think it was a disaster that we had never anticipated and one that we were definitely not prepared for.  i do think that bush should have apologized for our delay but i also think bush has so many things he should apologize for.  i think the reason this happened is because so many of the stranded individuals live such a lifestyle that they were truly unaware of the dangers.  i also believe that there was plenty of time to do a door to door evacuation which was not done.  my prayers go to all that suffered

they need to help themselves and over throw their own goverment if we tried for them they would just cry that we are racist and after their land lol some men you just cant help \n\nyou know that old saying give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he will eat for life . well thats what they need to do learn as a country stand for themselves if they would unite for this, \n\nthey should take this time while so many eyes are on them to make a change instead of crying about us  they have their own land they are not a people without a land !

because george bush the president wants you to focus on other things instead of the war that everyone againsts.  when he got you all boiled about the illegals you won't have time to worry about the war in iraq.

The war and "help" in Iraq is all for selfish purposes. IE: they have oil that we need. If the government was really that interested in helping other countries they would start with Africa where they've had genocide taking place and the numbers of people who have AIDS and are starving are astronomical. Africa though can't help us and doesn't have any commodities that our government wants. Simple as that. That being said, if the government was really all that concerned about those in need, at the very least they'd start with all of those who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. It is insane that there are many, many, MANY motor homes and trailers are sitting in lots while there are people and I don't just mean a few, who are living in "tent cities" with outhouses for bathrooms that they share with hundreds of other people. Yes, this is still happening TODAY. I am not talking about what happened 6 months ago. They are being forced to suffer simply because of red tape.\n\nI know that the Iraqi people have suffered but so have many others including our fellow countrymen. The reason the Iraqi's got so lucky is that they have something we want/need. I won't even get started on the potential reprecussions of Bush letting the ports be used by Arab nations...........

Of course not. The Republicans bank on these types of people to gain votes primarily, they don't care if your starving. I am sure 9 months ago you watched the outcome of Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coasts treatment by these people. The Red Cross(Catholics) showed up, but no Bible belt. HUH!!! Christan's HUH!!!

i don't hate pres. bush i respect him because he is our pres. i just don't like his politics.we are spread thin & were losing our loved ones quicker than you can say reelection.yes find bin laden-stop terrorism if we can-he got his murderer from iraq they don't want us there let them rebuild them selves.when they are ready to let us help we can come back,to much blood shed already.

I asked that question here and I was castigated for doing so. Apparently they do not have any oil and the US is too busy fighting the Iraqis to intervene in mass genocide of the worst kind, in which Arab Islamic fighters from the North of Sudan are using every despicable tool of warfare, including rape and torture, to wipe out the black population of the South. Usual African brotherhood stuff.

I personally think Bush is trying to finish Daddy's job. the Job Daddy's couldn't do! I think if people are going to come to the US or other country's the need to do it right. There are some Illegals out there that are here to make an honest living and do better for them self and there family. I am parted on that one. I think let the ones who are here stay the ones who want to come over have them do it right. It is sad. all Bush did was fuck the US over! here Clinton just started to get us on tract after the first bush! and someone will have to come in and clean up this mess also! it was such a close race this last term! unfortunately I live in a red state! where gays have no rights and yet men own women when they are married. I live in Oklahoma it is so far behind in the times. anyway. If bush wast elected we would not have had any problems. I know allot of people who praised him at fist now the regrets voting him in. All he is doing is trying to prove him self to DADDY, he is a greedy son of a bitch! sorry for going on and on.

Because most Republican congressman are asking him to NOT try and help them.  They are distancing themselves from his failed policies and irrevocable mistakes.  Bush is so desperate for someone to support in a race that he's coming to freaking nebraska to stump for the Rep. candidate.

Because black africans tend to be very successful in the US.  It's a slap in the face to all the self-victimized, welfare cultured african-americans who blame all their ills on white racism.  If black africans can come to this country, often with little or nothing, and succeed in a relatively short timeframe, it proves that the racism that the african american leaders, such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, claim to be pervasive, doesn't exist at all.\n\nBottom line:  It proves to the african american population that they are largely lazy, ignorant failures...and it's all self-inflicted.

Because we voted in a weak man into a powerful position. When you think President of the United Sates you think of an classy educated well spoken fearless leader who leads the people by example. Bush would not put himself or his same class family members into a war situation but will gladly send hundreds of thousands of men, women and young adults into. 18 year old kids are returning home seriously injured, hurt and dead both emotionally and physically. Their families changed forever and lives altered for eternity.

There is not enough help here because people cheat the system.  I worked in a convenience store once upon a time and I used to watch people take the cash benefits for their assistance out of the ATM.  Instead of buying diapers or whatever it was intended for they would buy beer.  There was NOTHING we could do about it.  On the other hand there are people who could and would qualify for help but are too proud or embarrassed to do so.  Their children could have had a better life but the lady at the WIC office was nasty to them (aren't all WIC offices like that?) so they don't get the extra food for their children.  Our country has a lot of problems but children don't have to starve to death here.  If someone is truly without means and is destitute they can get help but it will not be a comfortable life...just a meager one.  \n\nThe comment about the neighbors vermin is so true as well.  We take the tired the poor though not as openly as we once did.   People all across the world resent our country and if we didn't help and were able it could grow to larger hostility.  Look what happened when France didn't support us.  People were anti France.  Some people still have a bad taste in their mouths about Switzerlands neutrality.  IF the US hadn't been so quick to sit on their hands in WWII who knows how many lives may have been saved.  Though since we did we had fresh amounts of troops and because of the attack on our own country a motivated country behind the troops.  IF we had gotten in the suck earlier the outcome could have been different for the worse as well.  But I can't imagine people in those days spitting on soldiers and calling them baby killers like they did in Vietnam.  \n\nImage is everything and you cant please all people all of the time. \n\nMoney....there will never be enough to please everyone.

Does ANYBODY notice that no matter WHAT a president does, the general public has a problem with it?  Bush is cleaning up the mess that Clinton started.  War with Iraq was imminent, meaning going to happen anyway.  Clinton, not having ANY military experience (He dodged the draft by going to Europe), wanted to stay away from war.  As far as the Katrina victims, they were told a week in advance to leave, that a Cat 5 hurricane would flood a city BUILT BELOW SEA LEVEL. Those who didn't leave are morons.  They got what they were stubborn enough to deserve.  Then they cry for help and shoot at the help?  I'm sorry, but a tv and nikes are not going to feed your family.  I feel he is doing all that ONE MAN can do.  You think all you complaining about everything is helping or making it easier?  1000 people died in Iraq...  In how long?  How long does it take 1000 people to die in America?  No one complains about that, now do they?
