He has done a good job. Of ruining the economy with his supply side economics, He has done a good job of further dividing the american people, He has done a good job of taking us to a war against the advice of many world leaders. He has abandon the poor in this country in a time of need in favor of his rich buddys. I certainly hope that enough people turn out in this next election to return the democrats to power in one or both of the houses to provide a check against some more of his good jobs, he is hell bent on destroying america and its dreams.

He says that history will say whether he has made mistakes.\n\nHistory is happening now, and the answer is, "Yes, in spades."\n\nI used to think the Bush administration was evil.  Then, after Katrina, I thought that they were incompetent.  Now, I realize that they are both.\n\nIs it 2008 yet?

George Bush IS a great president. He is the best person we could have had in office when 9-11 hit. He's done a great job economically. Our economy is on the rise. He is also steadfast when it comes to the war on terror. I know that he cannot run for a 3rd term but if he could I would vote for him again.

I totally support my president. (and you should too) I believe he has done an outstanding job as our president.\nPresident Bush is willing to take political risks to do what is best for the United States as a whole. That is his job and he should be commended for doing it.

Bush is a fairly good president, particulary compared to clinton...

I'm torn between believing that he himself is doing a bad job or his administration as a whole is doing a bad job.\n\nHe has faced hard times, but so did Abraham Lincoln. I don't know how Bush would handle a civil war, but that is besides the point because no one in the US would actually take to arms against their government, most people just want to live their lives without having to worry about the rest of world. Like before WWII.\n\nIn order to be in power these days you have to cater to a lot of different people, also known as special insterest groups. You have to cater to them because you need the money to put yourself in power. It'd be hard for a person who was down to earth with middle america to put themselves in power because they probably would have enough money to pay for the ads, or anything else to campaign for that matter. So we are left with the rich and the rich people's buddies to rule over our country. And since the rich only want to get richer, they take care of their own. They call oil black gold for a reason. I'm tempted to think that Bush might have wrapped himself up too tightly in special interest security blankets.\n\nBut that is besides the point. I don't believe that Bush himself is responsible for the bad things that go on in this country, I think his underlings had a lot to do with it as well, because they ALL have some sort of special interest group to support, whether it be energy companies or defense contractors. \n\nAlso, we basically have one political party in charge right now, so they can pretty much put what ever law they want through with out much of a fight. And if their is a fight all they have to do is attach a rider to the bill that sounds good and cry that the other side isn't supporting this oh-so-important issue that is actually just a rider on a worse bill, or the other way around.\n\nOverall the government hasn't been looking out for our best interests until lately with the gas prices because now it is a good political tool to use with the voters. So it isbelieved that who ever can champion the oil issue can win the hearts of the american people. Then, once they are in charge they get to cater to their special interests, not the people's. \n\nSpell check doesn't work in IE7 so I apologize for any typographical errors.

I do.  I don't understand why 80+% of people thought he was a good president when we were going to war and dealing with terrorism and now half of the population has decided he shouldn't have gone.  Where's the consistency?  I guess popular opinion is fickle and that's why I support Bush, because he doesn't just base his decisions on popular opinion.

I do not approve of much the Bush Administration has perpetrated in its five years of existence, but I think it's entirely appropriate to compare present administrations to recent past ones.  Anyway, the Clinton Administration did far more good than bad, so the Bush Administration comes up short anyway.

No.  Honestly I've seen a lot of George W. Bush's life before he became President.  Not only is he a bad President, but he was a disastrous governor in Texas and did the same thing to their state as he has to the United States and flushed it right down the toilet, and he's a generally poor example of a human being.\n\nBefore doing that, he spent his life doing absolutely nothing except screwing up and letting other people take the blame.  Gets into the National Guard, spends his whole time there on a drinking binge, then goes AWOL for seven months?  Who cares?  It's not like we were executing other people's children for that sort of behavior at the time (well, we actually were, but not the RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE'S children, and that's the important thing to remember).  Gets busted for drunk and disorderly?  Boys will be boys!  You're not supposed to remember that's something that usually ruins the lives of your average day folk, after all.  Mis-invests public money in failed efforts to find oil in a state where people are literally tripping over the stuff in the streets?  Daddy's friends can take care of it.  S&L scandal loses 90 million?  Oh gosh, not his fault.  Bail out time.  Plunges Texas from its best economic times straight into the worst recession in its history?  That has to be the last guy's fault, you know... everyone loves me.\n\nBe offended if you like the guy, but you have to ignore common sense to review the man's record and think he should be allowed to run a 7-11, much less an entire country.\n\nThe bottom line on what went wrong is that an incompetent man who never should have been allowed to make a serious bid for the office of President was swept into it, and did what all incompetent men do.  He screwed up.  What continued to go wrong was that he ended up in the one job where no one could feasibly fire him for it and the people were too apathetic to collectively afford themselves of the opportunity to do it, so he just kept screwing up, and kept screwing up, and kept screwing up... and when it came time for people to decide whether or not he should be stopped, he hired some very clever people to distract the public from what a poor job he did just long enough to let him keep his job because, apparently, he WANTED to keep screwing up, and keep screwing up, and keep screwing up for reasons unknown.\n\nI'm afraid the state the country is in, and the President's "lowest in the history of the United States" approval ratings, are both the fault of the same two things:\n\n1)  A man who refuses to take the advice of wiser people even when it's mind-numbingly apparent he has no idea what's going on or what to do about it, because he has visions of ruling the world; and\n\n2)  A country of people who allow him to keep doing it.\n\nMaybe instead of voting for looks and a bit of charm, we should try voting on who has the best grasp of the issues, who demonstrates the best ability to lead, and whose track record demonstrates the most competence for the job they're applying for.  It might just avoid some of these problems in the future.\n\n\n\nP.S.-- Oh, and for the record GWB didn't manage any of the things BassCatcher ascribes to him.  His college grades were lackluster, he wasn't responsible for winning his elections (quite a few advisers his father handed down to him were... and whatever else you care to say about Bush Sr, the man was awfully bright and hired good help), he didn't accomplish more than 300 million people by being the only one out of them who could have been elected President since most people, quite a few much more solidly qualified than him (even in the conservative base) don't aspire to that job, and the bulk of evidence indicates he wasn't elected either time in any case since in both elections reviews by the state of Florida found evidence of massive voter fraud (and in both elections losing Florida wou

I don't think it's anymore corrupt than any other administration, especially the Clinton administration. People refuse to look back and see what Bush has had to deal with, terrorist attacks, many terrible natural disasters. He's had a lot of lack to pick up. I think you have to remember that when you look at what he's done in office.

Yeah,Good or bad your in the history books.Heck of a reason to be President though.Don't you think Mr.Bush?

Bush has done better than average with the hand he has been dealt while he has been President. While he is in no way the greatest President of all time. It usually takes an uber-lib to come out with the adjectives such as "pathetic".... especially when stating the "failure" without specific evidence as to how he has failed. (And NO, being in a war is not "failure")

for some he is doing good n for others his  policy is not good\nthere is no proper balance\n\nbut of course he is doing a fine job but not so good or not so bad
