Do you agree of how President Bush is handling things?

No.\n\nBush led our country into a war that is and was totally unnecessary.  His original WMD argument for war has been disproved and it seems that each time he speaks his reason for the war changes.  The bottom line is that over 2,200 American military and over 25,000 Iraqi civillians are dead  and the question remains, Why?...\n\nHis medicare drug program is proving itself to be a disaster for seniors but great for insurance companies.  He then wants to privatize Social Security which will only benefit his friends on Wall Street, certainly not the retirees.\n\nMore and more Americans are losing health care benefits. His answer: Health Savings Accounts.  The trouble with these are that the people who need health care benefits the most are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to contribute to these accounts.  They also can't afford the out-of-pocket of up to $5,000 that has to be paid to health care providers before the insurance that's associated with these things even begins to start paying.  The winners again: his friends in the insurance industry.  This is from personal experience, I'm stuck with one of these.\n\nHis "Domestic Spying Program" has directed the NSA to wiretap American citizens without warrants.  Not to say we shouldn't wiretap terrorists, we have to.  A warrant to conduct these wiretaps is easy to get and can even be obtained up to three days after the fact.  So why won't he do it "By the Book"? It almost seems he is intentionally trying to show us that he feels he's above the law. \n\nThis attempt to greatly expand Presidential power in the name of the "War on Terror" is especially frightening since it affects the Executive / Legislative / Judicial balance of goverment as defined in our Constitution.\n\nUnfortunately, Mr. Bush seems to think that stubborness is a virtue and, despite the ill effects his policies have had on our country, insists on "Staying the course".  I just hope we'll someday be able to repair the damage this "Course" is causing.

I feel that Bush is doing a fine job. Lets see any of you have to make the kind of hard decisions he has had to. And a war for nothing?! Please, do you think that we should allow people to come onto our soil, kill our citizens and get away with it?! You people are despicable! If you don't like the war then go over to a third world country for a few months and then come back. You will be happy to live here. Go to a country that isn't free and then come home and see if you aren't blessed to live here. Freedom IS NOT FREE!! It has cost many men and women's blood to pay for your freedom. Yes, we are still fighting when the leaders are imprisoned but they still have supporters out there. If our government and military does not stay over there and help them to become a self sufficient country then 9/11 will happen all over again. And as far as the pres keeping things from us, sometimes it is better that way. Sometimes you don't need to know things. It is just like being a parent. You don't tell your children of all the horrible things out there in the world bc you don't want to frighten them, you want them to venture out and make a wonderful life for themselves. That is what ALL presidents have done for us. Give him a break and stop complaining about Bush. If you don't love America then revoke your citizenship and move somewhere else!

oh i agree with you there! i think he is doing the best he can being one man and having so much on his plate. the United states is having major issues especially with terrorists and wether bush was president or not, they still would have attacked us they were planning it for years and years and they hate us. i bet if a different president were in office everyone would hate him too because people love to blame someone when things go wrong but the bottom line is he is our president, the one who is fighting for us, maybe we should blame .. hmm i dont know .. the terrorists who flew planes into our buildings and killed thousands of innocent people on an ordinary tuesday morning!\noh and kia u are worried about terrorism cuz he is in office.. that is because they attacked while he was in office not because of him! the point of him not giving up the war is to keep terrorists from gaining strength again!

I think Mr. Ahmadinejad is 100% correct in his assessment of Mr. Bush and his Presidency.  I read the entire letter and agreed with most of it.  I probably agree with him more than I agree with my own President.  I still think it is scary for Iran to have nuclear weapons and hope they will work within the international parameters for nuclear energy.

No:  It is not an issue of whether we agree with his policies or not.  Our Constitution works as it is and as the founding fathers intended.

The president is George W. Bush.

Isn't that something you should know, President Bush?

I am Soooooooo glad this is happening.  Republicans are going to have to worry about what theiCONSTITUENTSTS want - we are going into the mid terms and Bush has placed them in an impossible bind.  They will have to override Bushes veto and end his leadership of the party.   How could Bush have gotten this so wrong? \n\nMy guess is that Bush, who likes to hold hands with princes from the Arab Emirates,( check out the footage of him walking and holding hands with Prince Bandar  ), has more vested interests in the financial dealings with Gulf Coast Arab nations - than his own country. \n\nThe Bushes are also  good friends of the Bin Laudens too.\n\nThis is not going down well.  I don't honestly know if this is really a security concern, but Dubai has two of the hijackers, if laundered the money for the 9/11 attack and REFUSED US invetigators access to financial records.\n\nThis port deal has a bad feel to it.  A 62-2 vote in Congress passed to block this Dubai port deal. The acquisition of any leases, transfer is prohibited\nand attached to a bill the president wil find hard to veto. \n\nWith the President's poll levels at their lowest, its time for Republican congressmen to distance themselves.\n\nThis action by the appropriations committes is VETO proof. \nWhat options does the White House have?

Bush know whats going on.

I think that people need someone to blame and he is the leader of this country so people can very easily point fingers at him for all this country's problems.  The truth is, this is not a dictatorship, there are many people that are in charge of this country and Bush is just doing his job.

No. I feel that his cronies and his staff do. Bush is merely a puppet. His cronies pull his strings and Bush moves to their whims. He is at fault because as the head man he should be asking questions and I don't think he is bright enough to do this. In fact, his stupidity is what made him appealing to the Republican party. He is a mindless puppet who marches to do whatever his cronies want. He is not bright enough to ask questions or know what questions to ask.

President Bush is an exceptional leader and a great President. He is the man.

Actually the President really has very little power, even though we are lead to believe that he holds in his hands every decision or act.  But as President, I think Bush has been fine.  He certainly has areas that even I don't agree with, but when it comes to standing for this country my hat is off to him.  When it come to standing for something he does, as long as he feel and thinks it is best course to take.   \n\nI think the question aught to be is Congress doing a good job.  That is the question and that is what you are feeling and seeing.  They are doing a bad job. ALL OF THEM

President Bush has had to tackle major hurricane devastations in the south, the 9-11 attacks, the floods in the Ohio valley,  rising gas prices that are threatening our economy, major economic slowdowns that began years before he took office and the continuing threat of terrorist activity on our soil without appearing alarmist. I think he has had to deal with more critical major events that any other president in recent history and is saddled with a bureaucracy that would take years to revamp to adequately handle these. Also he sees that there are probable crises approaching such as Social Security failure and the lack of adequate healthcare for many people but can do nothing right because the public cannot agree to a good solution for these. I think considering all he has had to deal puts him among the best leaders we have although many people currently only judge him by his unpolished speaking ability. I think he will be overlooked for the work he has done because he is not everyone's idea of a movie star. It is like John Kennedy getting credit for being some kind of civil rights saint while Johnson was the guy who did the work in getting it all passed.

I think President Bush is a great president.  He is almost as good as Ronald Reagan.  I absolutely love Georgie Bush!

YES HE IS. BUSH IS LIVING LA VIDA LOCA at the expense of the american people.  He is a shiit for brains mediocre piece of president.  He is not even a full man.  He was raped as many members of the Skull and Bones society are, and that's why we call him now Baby Bush or Bushy for cute. \n\nDo you know what's his favorite entertainment now? Playing with Cheney to see who farts louder and longer in the oval room when the CIA recorders are rolling.  Sometimes they soil themselves and call the White House aid to clean saying it was the dog.  Yeah, right. And they didn't even consider James Brown or Eddie Murphy for president.  They would have done better.
