Bush is... what do YOU think about George W. Bush?

The Democrats were certainly capable of establishing the safety net that the storm victims were expecting long before Mr. Bush took office, but they did NOT.  To account for all reasonable disasters that could strike the US, to the standard of reclamation that you seem to be expecting would, in my estimation, consume the entire US budget for 10 years, and would take billions annually to maintain.  (That's no road work, no medical plans, no school program support, no Social Security, no military, Nothing for 10 years.) President Bush did not dismantle any disaster programs or plans. He did not sell off supplies, trailers, food, clothing, instant homes, instant levies, yet you are holding him soley accoutable for what the State's are equally responsible for?  That is just so very irresponsible... and so very much represents the extremist closed minded left.\nTo say that anyone could have actually stopped Katrina from hitting has simply been watching too many Science FICTION movies.\n\nAh.. Name calling, that always solves things! we skate so closely to abuse. Okay, simple.... here we go...\n\nThe civil engineering effort to prevent a city that is largely below sea level from ever being submerged was within the grasp of the leadership of the State, but apparently was not pursued with much earnest as other projects were deemed (locally) as having more importance.  \n\n"In Katrina's wake, Louisiana politicians and other critics have complained about paltry funding for the Army Corps in general and Louisiana projects in particular. But over the five years of President Bush's administration, Louisiana has received far more money for Corps civil works projects than any other state, about $1.9 billion; California was a distant second with less than $1.4 billion, even though its population is more than seven times as large.\n\nMuch of that Louisiana money was spent to try to keep low-lying New Orleans dry. But hundreds of millions of dollars have gone to unrelated water projects demanded by the state's congressional delegation and approved by the Corps, often after economic analyses that turned out to be inaccurate. Despite a series of independent investigations criticizing Army Corps construction projects as wasteful pork-barrel spending, Louisiana's representatives have kept bringing home the bacon.\n\nFor example, after a $194 million deepening project for the Port of Iberia flunked a Corps cost-benefit analysis, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) tucked language into an emergency Iraq spending bill ordering the agency to redo its calculations. The Corps also spends tens of millions of dollars a year dredging little-used waterways such as the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, the Atchafalaya River and the Red River -- now known as the J. Bennett Johnston Waterway, in honor of the project's congressional godfather -- for barge traffic that is less than forecast...."\n\nThen there's New York City (see second link). When the next big storm sweeps northward and hits that city, what happened in New Orleans will look like a summer rain.  Is anyone looking to storm proof that city?  What will its residents yell afterwards?  Should we spend 100 Trillion dollars storm-proofing NYC?  What about San Francisco?   The basic lesson is, that we cannot control the weather, or geology.  People elect to live where they may. When they live in risky places, there should not be any surprises when disasters strike. (read Geohazards: Natural and Human\n by Dr. Nicholas Coch)

I am glad Bush is mortal.  He would be the God of Imbecility and War Crimes, other wise.  I see a lot less people died on Clinton's watch.  Considering the things Bush has done, he has a reason to look over his shoulder.

I am not against George Bush. He is a decent honest man. He cares about this country, both present and future. However, he is only one man and too many people want to blame him, or the government for their own stupid problems and lousy choices in life. How can anybody blame one person for all their problems. We have a huge government from local on up. On one hand people like you hate George Bush, on the other you act as if though he has the power of God. If everybody would accept responsibility for their own actions and not expect the government to solve all their problems, the country and the world would be a much better place. Why do hate him? If you live in the United States you have more opportunity than most people in the world. How is George Bush messing up your life? What are you doing to make life better in this country? I would like to hear it.

George Bush will be remembered as the worst President in America's history, to date. He had to resort to common thievery just to get elected in the first place. Then he did it again just to get re-elected! He embroiled us in an illegal, unconstitutional war that has killed 2,500 American soldiers and tens of thousands of innocent Iraq women and children. \nHe lied about his military service, not revealing that his father made accommodations so that George, Jr. wouldn't be in harm's way (but he still got to fly fighter jets because he thought it would be fun). George W. Bush is a former drug-user and chronic alcohol abuser who was used to getting out of jams because of his family's connections or power. He has never had to be responsible, or accountable, for anything in his life. \nHe presides over an administration strife with incompetency, avarice, and an unhealthy lust for power and status. The Republican-dominated U.S. Congress is the most corrupt, evil body ever to occupy the Capitol Building in America's history. Bush has lied to the American people, granted favors to those rich corporations and special interest groups that support his evil empire, and ignored the needs of America's impoverished, disabled, sick, and troubled. Bush comes from a world of privilege where compromise is not an option. It's his way, or the highway....and that's reflected far too transparently in the way Bush administers policy and issues government mandates. \n\nWatch a new blog at www.blogger.com. The blog is titled "BUSHWACKER! for good reason.\n\nBush deserves to be impeached for all the atrocities he has committed while in office. Just as he has brought Saddam Hussein to trial for crimes against humanity, so should Bush be put on trial. He and his staff should all be tried for high treason, and - if convicted - should face a firing squad. There is absolutely no salvation in anything George Bush has done (of course, he's lowered taxes for the wealthiest people in America, and allowed rich corporations to run ripshod over the laws of the land in favor of increasing profitability. He's done nothing to save our fragile ecology or help our environment. He obviously believes guns and ammo is the solution to everything, and has no problem with murdering people if necessary. He's a cowboy capitalist who puts the almighty dollar above all else, and will stop at nothing to impose his personal believes - such as those on abortion or gay marriages - on everyone else in the country. If one of his daughters mistakenlybecame pregnant, however, you can bet he'd have it 'taken care of'). \nBush is a liar, cheat, thief, con artist, dimwit, and impotent macho-man who has to puff out his chest to prove what a man he is. His Ivy League education was a sham, just like everything else in his life has been a fabrication of gently-weaved truth and fiction. \nSurely there's a special, oil-saturated corner of Hell waiting for Bush, Cheney & Co. in which they will spend eternal damnation for all the crimes they committed during their terms as leaders what they turned into a police state. \nIs George Bush the best president ever? Far from it......on a scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being the lowest rating, Bush rates a 00000000000000000!

I think Bush is a great guy, just lacking the wisdom necessary for being the president.\n\nHe spends money like a teenager with her parents' credit card trying to impress her friends.\n\nHe cherry-picked info to come up with the conclusion he wanted. (WMD's)\n\nHe made very poor decision for appointments (FEMA's Brown)\n\nHis poor communication skills are no match for combatting the liberal media. (And he's has given them a lot of ammunition)\n\nHey, Shepherd - No president has much control over economics.  What little they can do has little or no immediate effect.

Bush is one of the best presidents ever!!! A very good man. True he is not right about everything but who is. He is doing great under the circumstances. The media totally misrepresents him.

I have met the current president when he was Govenor of TX.\n\nHonestly, I found him to be a very smart person, not just intelligent, but smart (there is a difference).  He has a great sense of humor and is very much a people person.\n\nI think the job he is doing now as president is a very complex one.  Perhaps he would be viewed in a better light had it not been for the 9/11, war in Iraq, the two recent hurricanes, but there is no telling whether anyone else could have done any better (in spite of the Democrats saying they could have).\n\nIf you ever have the chance to meet him, do.  I am sure you will find him fun to be around and very accomodating.\n\nIn addition I have met Reagan and G.H.W. Bush (but he was VP at the time).\n\nIt is an experience you will never forget.

My only problem with President Bush is that he can't run for a third term.  I think he is a wonderful President.  Greatness is not appreciated in its own time.  Neither Mozart nor Shakespeare were considered geniuses in their day.\n\nIn fifty years time, the history books will record that George W. Bush (and his close friend Tony Blair) rid the world of a dangerous evil.  Peaceful democratically elected Middle Eastern governments will erect statues of him honoring him as the man who brought peace and freedom to their troubled land.\n\nI would like to see him veto a spending bill, but has anyone noticed that our economy is doing quite well.  There hasn't been another terrorist attack on our soil.  Perhaps this is because he is intercepting the cell phone calls of terrorists.
