Why Do People Pin Almost Every Problem On The President?!?

Equally amazing is :\nGeorge Bush WON the election fair and square - \n\nJohn Kerrys' answers to the same questions changed daily -\n\nAl Gore and Howard Dean should get matching straitjackets -\n\nAll of the opposition from democrats and  the U.N., allowed Saddam Hussein to sell or hide any weapons the U.N. should have already upheld sanctions about, and money, in the critical early period after the 911 attacks.\n\nBill Clinton used his charisma to dodge every criticism for abusing his office, ruining womens lives (Monica, Gennifer...),reducing intelligence capabilities and security to ensure the sucessful 911 attack -\n \nInsist that Iraq, and terror are the same war (they aren't- but they are closely connected anyway)\n\nwhat is wrong with you liberal nut-j*bs ?\nAlso see B Boops answer !

Because a lot of Americans are intellectually dishonest! They have a hidden agenda as well. So why not let someone else carry out what they truly believe, so that they can continue to hide and not get blamed, or have to take responsibility for anything! Bush is the perfect person for their mission!

Agree completely\n\nIt's a great way to not talk about anything important, just dumb it all the way down to good vs. bad...\nYou aren't bad are you?!?\n\nAmericans are too lazy to look into the details that will affect th rest of their lives, not to mention their kids, etc, they wanna pick a badge to wear, like Republican, or Democrat and then cowardly follow that herd.

They know.  They just don't care, and they get angry when you try to correct them.  They want it their way, period, and to Hell with everybody else.\n\nRudeness is endemic in this country.  If you want to know why Bush was elected president, just look at the rude, arrogant behavior all around you.

That's an easy. President Bush has screwed up over and over, but the Republicans don't see it that way. It has been proved time after time that Bush is a screw up, but yet Democrats and others get blamed. So to answer your question, it's all just a game that Politicians play with the people and as always they fall for it. It's easier to blame someone else than to admit your an idiot to the people.

Usually people can't really tell if a president has done well until years down the road since change takes time.  Also, the problems or ease a current president faces is generally the result of what the previous president has created.  We'll just have to wait and see.  My opinion is Bush is taking care of a problem Clinton could have addressed during his time, but turned a blindeye, and now we all are suffering.

I hear ya Brother. Check out some of my posts and you will see the same exact pattern emerge from some neocons who shall remain nameless. Don't let them sway you from your questions. If all they can do is resort to name calling, which they LOVE to do, well that's their problem. I can understand their hypersensitivity however with poll numbers for the President in the upper 20's, you would be cranky too.

Because ignorant people make it an issue.

There will be a lot of flaming going on once there are several answers, but people in America have the absolute right to say whatever they want - that's protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Therefore, we can criticize the president as much as we please. As far as his policies are concerned, I disagree with 95% of them, so I won't get into that...

Whoa... Damn ppl, reporting?! Harming?! Naming names?! I can't believe how everyone is buying into this crap... Yes, there's a problem, but it's been here for years. Everyone's got chill out, 'cause this is starting to sound like one of those infamous Red Scares again? What's next, are we gonna accuse of them being Commies? Public persecution? Are you actually afraid, or do just people love to get on the band wagon and bash everyone that the media tells them to? Bush, Iraq, and now Immigration, oh yeah gay marriage before that? You do realize the last two are just a little thing that Bush and his cabinet uses to get the focus away from his incompetence?

People may not agree with the President...but hatred from the rest of the world has been aimed at us for generations.  I've seen this guys questions....and he does need to grow up.

Actually, I have recently taken the current Bush administration's approach with pretty electrifying results:  First, deny the accusation.  Then, quickly choose a subject to talk about that is related but does not directly address the issue.  And lastly, end my retort with a personal attack on the person doing the criticizing.  \nMy only struggle has been that because I choose my friends so specifically, there is no criticism to deal with.  No wonder he's so good at it!

Some things I agree on, others I disagree. Other than that, I don't really care. People in power can try to please everyone, but that rarely works. Plus, I don't think he's that bad. Blame the media for all the negative news since its usually "the juicy stuff is the bad news".

He is not the greatest President ever. I wouldn't put him in that category. And just because the media is bringing up stories of controversy doesn't mean anything. There are controversies in every presidency, not just this one. And the Bush administration is not abusing power. FDR did it. Clinton did it. (as for as the "spying")There is no abuse of power. Our government is made of checks and balances and just because he's the president does not make him all powerful. It's crazy how people get the picture that just because someone is the President they're allowed to be a loose canon without restraint and then answer later for actions.

Because they simply dont know who else to blame! Seeing that he is the President of the United States, they think EVERYTHING must be his fault!

If people have a problem with the president or the way your country is run, they should be free to use their voice.  Who cares who else is listening?  People 'bash' because they are looking for change and if this entertains eavesdroppers, that's too bad.\n\nBlind acceptance of the president's behaviour is not patriotic, it's stupid and dangerous.  We should always question our leaders, support them when they do right and correct them when they are wrong.
