Under his term we had:\n1. his impeachment for lying under oath\n2. the largest tax increase in American history\n3. he was offered bin laden 3x's and never took him\n4. tied the hands of the cia and fbi so they could not communicate w each other\n5. turned over American ports to the communist chinese\n6. and by the end of his 2nd term we were in a recession\n\nand even today he just goes around the world bashing the US and the president.  He was even involved as an advisor to the UAE on the whole ports deal.\n\nSo why is this guy so loved when it appears the only thing he ever cared about was his own power

well he did good in office with no war allot of those things you described wer not his fault -gb sr.- and besides that he was just a very charismatic gentleman (in public)

Because W doesn't care about homeland security. He's done nothing but lie, cheat, and steal from the American people since the day he took office. This is gonna blow up in his face tho, i bet now they are gonna wish that that guy that Chenay shot would have died so this wouldn't have come into light. P.S. i've been talking about this for almost a week now but nobody seems to care.

Clinton didn't accomplish anything as far as I could tell,\nhe was too busy with his sorted affairs. He couldn't even help Al Gore. He probably hurt him more than helped him. It really doesn't matter about his sex life; people were training over here to fly airplanes into buildings on Clinton's watch. Bush has taken the blame for all his shortcomings.

It's monumental.The rest of the world is down on us right now and the only way we're going to get out of the trenches is to have someone with charisma and an actual plan to set us in the right direction.We have so many problems on so many levels it's staggering.Bush and Cheney come off as arrogant stuffed shirts to most people and the poll numbers speak for themselves.Chaos abounds in this regime.The war,the borders,the economy,deficit,Katrina disaster,poverty,healthcare,etc.,is a direct result of an administration who is completely out of touch with the people and what they need.Our next president has a daunting task in front of him/her.Our nation needs a jump start with fresh ideas and a compassionate and passionate president.

1. Appointed originalist Supreme Court judges.  By far, his best achievement.\n\n2. Taken the terrorists on with force.  He is not fighting the war to win and it drives me crazy.\n\n3. Pushed for tax cuts after 9-11.  This has created a great economy.

The media doesn't like him and they make fun of him.  This is mostly because he is a Republican and the media trashes all Republicans.  They give Democrats a pass on everything (Gennifer Flowers, anything a Kennedy does, etc.).  \n\nPeople that are making fun of him are parroting what they hear in the media.  They somehow believe that it makes them sound superior to do so.  Usually they say ignorant things like we are going to war for oil and they completely gloss over the fact that Islamic terrorists have declared war on us.  \n\nFor people in the US I think that's because we are so isolated from bad things happening.  Wars aren't fought on our soil and we are an industrialized, rich nation and that keeps us isolated.  Europeans do what they do.  They look down upon their noses at the US until they find themselves in trouble and then they come crying to us for help.  Their policies that they believe are superior have failed throughout history and will fail again.  They are jealous of what we have here and actively work to destroy it instead of working to better themselves.  Let's all move to France.  I haven't been a good riot in quite a while.\n\nHere's a better question.  Why do people who dislike the President viciously attack everyone who is registered Republican?  Read the posts here and on similar questions and you'll see what I mean.  It makes no sense to call people stupid, ignorant, idiot, etc. because of their political party.  Political affiliations have nothing to do with IQ.

AGAINST HIM!!!  He is a liar and a cheat!  I don't think we have ever had such a worthless President.  I can not figure out one positive he has done in office.  Not one!  When the first 4 years were done, we had our chance.  Like idiots, the American people voted him back in.  He cheated to get in the first time (thanks Jeb!) and we give it to him the next term.  I am not a republican or democrat, I am the best candidate for the job type person.  I know this last election was the lesser of two evils, but come on.  Who has more to gain from the oil industry than the Bush family?  He wanted to finish what daddy couldn't.  And what has that gotten us?  Not a d@mn thing but lives lost and a war that will never be finished.  The truly scary fact is:  look at how many influential positions that are now held by Bush supporters.  He is a liar and I hope what goes around comes around.  If he is speaking....he is lying!

I don't agree with everything he's done, especially in this second term, but I support him and respect the fact that he's our President.  I believe that whatever you may think of the person holding it, we should always respect the office of the Presidency.  This was difficult for me during the Clinton years, I'll admit, but he was still our President and got my respect for that, though certainly not my admiration.\n\nIt's one thing to disagree with the President's policy, politics, etc. and to voice your dissent.  That's part of what being American is all about.  But when you go beyond that and get into mean-spirited personal attacks, smear tactics, etc. I believe that that's just disgraceful and reflects poorly on those who do it.  I'm certainly not proud of conservatives who attacked Clinton this way, and I'm quite disgusted with liberals who do this to Bush.  They're not hard to find either - you'll find them all over this site.

He's an oil man . . \n\nHopefully we can elect democrats to congress and impeach him.

i m not frm the US and so watever i m saying here  is in view of the reputation tht he has got abroad.\n\ni think tht he is a shrewd person and thinks abt things quite far off.he visited my country quite recently and the visit on the whole, was so-so. nothing really special abt it. i mean, Bill clinton on his visit was more interesting.\nBeing the prez is no piece of cake... i remember when i was the prez of a very very small org. - the literary club -  in my school... by jove! it was pretty uphill work. so, he, like all the other prez, is under a constant scrutiny. I bet tht he is receiving the same amt of criticism and appreciation as did the others.

People seem to have forgotten how the Taliban and rebels in Afganistan whipped the butts of the Russians when they tried to capture Afganista. The United states helped the Afganis with intel and arms, and Russia still lost. Bin laden was involved then, we supported him and his fight against the Russians. Bush policies had nothing to do with 9/11, that was a result of failed policies and promises made by Carter and his administration. It just happens that Bush was on duty when Bin laden put his plan into action. It's all about oil. It has always been about oil. Chasing down zarqawi is more for the press and to show the people back home that progress is being made in Iraq. We don't know what is really going on off camera. Zarqawi was self appoined to lead al-quida in Iraq. There have been reports that binladen didn't like him pitting shiites against sunnis and killing other muslims. The question still remains, should we be in iraq? It doesn't matter now, we are there, we need to send more troops, clean up that place and  get out. Then send our Iraq troops to Afganistan, and clean house there also, then build that darn pipeline.

He got elected for a second term and when it's up he can't ever get elected again.The people who support Mr. bush  and approve of what he is doing are the one's who are getting rich.It's all about oil and money.If they run a monkey for president and oil and money was backing him up ,he'd get elected.Even if you didn't vote for the monkey.

It's good to see some people here opening their eyes. However he still has 1 1/2 years to destroy everything... I move for impeachment on the grounds of committing war crimes, waging an unjustified war, damaging the American reputation world wide, invasion of a country with no proof of wrong doing, a disregard for intelligence stating that there were no WMD's in Iraq, and using fear of terrorism and disasters to try and hold office. Pry those eyes open people and join me in creating awareness of Bush and his crooked politics. Why do you think most countries don't like Americans anymore? Because they get more of the real story. Do you think Bush will let our news broadcast information on how much of a criminal he is? HELL NO! It is our duty as American Citizens, and as a Capitalist society to make sure that we are not the aggressors! Muslims do not attack us because they are jealous of our way of life. They attack us because we are forcing our way of life on them, and using torture and fear to justify our "Lawful" actions. That is called Fascism, and it was supposed to die with WW2. \n\nIgnorance is your choice in this country.. please don't choose to ignore the people dying in other countries to push democracy, when democracy is not what the people in that country strive for. Who are we to oust a government, even if they harm their own people. History has shown that when the people are ready, they will lead a revolution and make the necessary changes to secure the success of their country in the world. If we are to continue as a world power it is our responcibility to make sure we do not endorse negativity and oppression.

Don't beleive all the hype you read.  \nI don't like it either, but you have to look at the facts:\n1. He was well within the limits of his Presidential power to do so.\n2. He was authorized by Congress to do so.\n3. Congress knew full well that this was being done. They'd have a hard time making a case when it could be shown that they knew what was happening and did nothing about it.\n\nIf you don't like the above, then maybe it's time to look past the two party system and towards a party that will protect our constitutional rights. Libertarian or Constitution Party comes to mind.\n\nOne more thing:  I heard of this being in place well before 9/11.  I remember reading in 1995 that the NSA was doing this.  Just goes to show you that the two major parties are more alike than different!\nHaving said all of the above, isn't

Pro - tax cuts, war on terrorism, dumping the Kyoto idiocy, creating a coalition of willing states to combat proliferation of WMD, constititionalist judges, trying to fix Social Security, Bolton as UN Ambassador\n\nCon - illegal immigration, no child left without a useless fat handout, failure to veto overspending, the medicare drug benefit, failure to veto the 1st amendment destroying campaign finance reform bill, appeasement of china, propping up the UN by putting the force behind its resolutions, failure to have Clintons prosecuted\n\nHe was far from an ideal candidate, but was about 1000% better than Enviro-wanker Gore and 10000% better than traitor snob Kerry.
