Why is it that some people WANT to see our president fail?

They're 'liberal' Americans. They've got a vested interest to see President Bush fail, and they'll stop at anything to see it happen. Look at Michael Moore, he's an idiot, and he's been caught lying over and over again. Yet the Democratic party latched on to him when he started attacking the president.\n\nNow they're rallying behind Cindy Sheehan. \n\nThese people aren't interested in the country, or the truth. They're just interested in winning, and its pathetic.

There are alot of people that that think the country is in trouble, I am sure that even some of the people in congress knows that we are. We have a president that is trying to take power away from the other branch's We have a stupid war that we are involved in and people around the world hate us as a county. The economy is in a shambles and it is ok to ignore out own peoples needs to spend trillions over seas. If that isn't trouble I wonder what is. Remember this though the American people as a whole are good people and we will survive yes we will survive.

It would be good if they were liked by a majority of their own people, in order to be liked they need to be in touch with them. In our case we have no leader. He has lost touch with reality and touch with his people. Even those that voted for him are abandoning him.

It's looking more and more like\n    Americans do   not   want her elected.\n    After all, she didn't do a very good job\n    the last time she was in the White House.

President Bush has had more to deal with than most other Presidents. I think he has made mistakes but it has been a tough 6 years. I don't think any politician would have done well in this Presidency. I don't think any politician can run our country.I think the people who are capable of leading this country aren't even in politics. They are too smart to even want to be involved with the spectacle that we call a government.

Because either people are apathetic, or, they are hypnotized by these  crooked politicians.  Very few of us are immune  to it. I am one. I do not vote for those who want to rule for  a 2nd or 3rd term or beyond. They have gotten rich enough, and don't need any more of my money.

No President will succeed:\n\n"[If a] people [are] so demoralized and depraved as to be incapable of exercising a wholesome control, their reformation must be taken up ab incunabulis. Their minds [must] be informed by education what is right and what wrong, [must] be encouraged in habits of virtue and deterred from those of vice by the dread of punishments, proportioned indeed, but irremissible. In all cases, [they must] follow truth as the only safe guide and eschew error which bewilders us in one false consequence after another in endless succession. These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure of order and good government." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819. ME 15:234

It is an unfortunate thing that our President chooses to act like a dictator. However, I really would not think it to be a wise thing to let non-Americans vote for our leader, since Americans are now hated by half the world's populace. It could be a very ugly state of affairs for us!

People are stupid and are easily manipulated into believing things that aren't right and they never take the time to look into the truth of an issue. They so badly want to hate the President that they will believe anything and say anything to discredit him and make his administration look bad.

Bush Jr.'s heart and spirit burns with American patroism, but his cabinet appointment choices have been nothing less than poor; rife with unqualified and inept people.\n\nNot that this problem is isolated with just the White House, but historic and often tragic events during Bush Jr.'s terms have produced glaring clear evidence that other vital government operated offices our National safety depends on are rife with political brown-nosers whose ineptness adds a dangerous ingredient for a recipe of disaster.\n\nBottom line: I pray as Americans, we learn it's not very wise to elect politically empowered family members to become our President.

Because no one wants to be the one to put themselves on the line; by showing what they believe, they risk losing votes in their next elections---->to them, that's what it's all about, the next election.

When candidates present a certain persona while campaigning, one develops an opinion of them by assuming they are truthful.  Bush made a lot of promises and told a lot of lies, but later renegged on everything and made some bad decisions.  Therefore, the ones who did not vote for him are very disgusted with him and those who did want him for president are finding out he is not a good one.

Their just a bunch of idiots who dont understand anything....   Here's something funny...  next time you come across a Bush Basher, ask them a question about our president.   People are just bored, and when people get bored they form small groups, witch lead to larger groups, and by this point their stupid people in large groups...  and never under-estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Why is it you never hear anything good about ANY of our presidents.   Well we voted for them....  People are just bored and have nothing better to do than Bush Bash.

Sadly, most of the people critical of the US don't understand that very few of us are as liberal or conservative as the extremeists they see on T.V.  And they also look at their country's reporting of the President, and assume what he things completely and absolutely reflects what the American people believe.\n\nNatually, this is 100% false.  First off, only 1/2 of the country votes for the President who wins, and then he can lose popularity over time.  Right now, only 32% (roughly) support the President, and also everybody disagrees with the President on at least one issue, and a slew of people don't argee with him on Iraq.\n\nUnfortunately, that's what almost everybody else is judging us on.  They look at the failures of Iraq, look at the President, then assume we're all JUST like him, when we're not.  In fact, most of the people who voted for him aren't even like him.  There are all different types of people in the U.S., but those critical can only go by what their eyes and ears recieve.\n\nI wish all these people would go to some of our news sites, as well as many of the political blogs found in this country, then come here and read the questions, beforew finally coming here and spending a week in the U.S., just to see how much we all differ from each other.\n\nI, nor anyone else, like to be stereotyped.  It's never a good thing, and can often hurt a country in it's world standing.\n\nSimple fact: those who aren't here, just don't know.

The vehemence with which the "loyal" opposition has opposed George Bush from the moment he won the nomination to the very present is not in any way normal behavior for a group or class of people. It seems to me there is a link-step mentality at play whereby no righteous democrat can admit the right of President Bush to his office. This is a dangerous thing. This hatred has tainted the entire country aided by the media and the talking heads of the left as they spread the notion that Bush is not  legitimate. People who do not analyze the source or content of the news they receive take it at face value and their perception is skewed against Bush, the War in Iraq, and just about anything else the democrats in their angry rant to regain power broadcast against the President. These same individuals then are not just cry babies-- twice defeated by what they consider unfair elections-- they're a dangerous element in an open society where dissent is meant to have some purpose or reason other than vindication and self-aggrandizement. Should the democrats regain power in the next election, you can be sure the same people who did not fairly consider what they saw or read will rue the day. I believe that, for all of this hate, which must affect him, President Bush has been a "President of all the people," one who does not kowtow to pundits or polls, but knows in his own mind what to do for the people who he truly serves.
