Just for the record, who thinks George W. Bush is doing a good job?

He is the Worse president ever~! \nHere is 25 reasons for ya. \n\n25 REASONS TO FEEL BAD ABOUT BUSH\n\nEconomic Indicators\n\n1. The unemployment rate averaged 4.1 percent in 2000 and reached a 30 year low of 3.9 percent in October 2000. Today, the unemployment rate has increased to 5.7 percent. There are presently 8.1 million unemployed Americans, an increase of 2.5 million compared to 2000\n\n2. The number of Americans experiencing long-term unemployment-over 27 weeks-has almost doubled in the last year.\n\n3. Job creation has reversed. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the economy created 1.7 million new jobs. This trend has been reversed, and the economy has lost almost 1.5 million jobs since President Bush took office in January 2001.\n\n4. Poverty is increasing. After decreasing for eight straight years and reaching its lowest level in 25 years, the poverty rate increased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 11.7 percent in 2001. In the first year of the Bush administration, 1.3 million Americans slipped back into poverty, with a total of 32.9 million Americans living in poverty in 2001.\n\n5. Incomes are falling. After increasing every year since 1991, and reaching an all time high in 2000, median household income in the United States fell 2.2 percent in 2001. Median incomes fell for households in every income group in the country except for those earning over $150,000.\n\n6. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are filing for bankruptcy. Almost 800,000 Americans filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2002. In the second quarter of 2002, over 400,000 bankruptcies were filed in the United States, an all-time record.\n\n7. Mortgage foreclosures are at record highs. In the second quarter of 2002, 1.23 percent of home loans were in the foreclosure process, a record level. Over this same time period, almost 5 percent of mortgage loans were delinquent, up almost 20 percent from the average delinquency rate in 2000.\n\n8. The federal budget deficit is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, showed a surplus of $86.6 billion. The most recent figures from the Congressional Budget Office indicate that for FY 2002, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, will show a deficit of $314 billion.\n\n9. This represents the largest budget decline in U.S. history, and it is the third-largest on-budget deficit in history, exceeded in size only by the deficits of 1991 and 1992 under the first President Bush. Health Care Indicators\n\n10.The number of Americans without health insurance is increasing. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of uninsured Americans fell by 600,000.\n\n11. But this trend has reversed itself and in 2001 the number of uninsured Americans increased by 1.4 million.\n\n12. Over 41 million Americans — 14.6 percent of the population — had no health insurance coverage in 2001.\n\n13. The percentage of small businesses offering insurance to their employees fell by 10 percent between 2000 and 2002.\n\n14. Insurance costs increased by 12.7 percent in 2002, the second consecutive year of double-digit increases and the largest annual increase in costs since 1990.\n\n15. Prescription drug prices increased by almost twice the rate of inflation in 2001.\n\n16. For seniors, who use the most prescription drugs, cost increases were even higher. The cost of the 50 most popular drugs for seniors increased by 7.8 percent in 2001, over three times the rate of inflation. The price of Prilosec, the most popular drug for seniors, increased at over four times the rate of inflation.\n\nCrime and Drug Use Indicators\n\n17.The crime rate is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the crime rate reached its lowest level since 1972. This represented the culmination of a 22 percent decrease in crime during the 1990s.\n\n18. But in 2001, the crime rate increased by 2.2 percent. The murder rate increased by 3.1 percent, the robbery rat

I think he is doing the right thing for this country.

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.

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.

I feel that he is trying his best for all the chaos that he is facing since begining of his presidency. We should support him, anyway he won the election that means most American chose him to run this country. I am not Bush supporter but I believe that we should support whoever run our country at this moment.

I dont think that Bush is doing a very good job handeling the war. I think that he is leading America down the wrong path. But, he has made a few "good Choices" for our country. But wat r we gonna do hes our pres for wat 2more years so wat r we gunna do? were stuck w/ Bush and we have to live with his bad choices for the country for a few more years. Hopefully a better president will come along in 2008!

President Bush is a wonderful president! And you are wrong in the polls...the latest polls show a 40% rating. 82% percent of this poll are Republicans. Now I will tell you why I totally respect our president.... I hope I don't leave anything out!!\n\n1. Low unemployment (5.3 million new jobs)\n2. Excellent growth. \n3. Low inflation (under 3% ... In spite of gas prices)\n4. Low interest rates. \n5. Bush has given tax breaks back to the working class.\n6. Has lead the world in aid to Africa.\n7. He has appointed more minorities to the highest levels in government.\n8. He has increased spending on education, environment, social programs, Medicaid and drug plans.\n9. He has extended tax cuts. \n10.The economy is still stable in spite of the war and Katrina.\n\nAnd:\n\nHe has restored our moral values. He relies on God for guidance in his decision making. (His ethics and moral values are those seen of Godly men.)\nHe cares enough to try to make this country a better and safer place?\nHe openly asks for solutions from both parties. (but because of their political agendas would rather his polices fail then for them to work as a team to better this country.)\n\nAnd the war in Iraq has brought down an evil dictator, Saddam, and freed the Iraqis to begin a new government. They now have a Prime Minister and a full Cabinet, and have established their own Constitution. They have soldiers in training and a police force. And the Iraqis are thankful to our troops for their help and support in all these things.\n\nAnd now, our troops, our coalition, and the Iraqi police have brought down and killed the evil terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Since his death, many raids (400+) and many documents and have lead to the capture of other terrorist.\n\nPresident Bush has accomplished much... In spite of bashing from the media and the left...\n\nUnfortunately, the "leftist" and Liberals will see nothing but negativity in our President. They will continue to make fun of his way of talking, the way he looks, the way he walks, and never give him any credit for any of the good he has done. \n\nThis bashing and disrespect is sad that they choose to do this instead of supporting him. However, President Bush will just continue doing the job he was elected to do, inspite of them.

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 agree wholeheartedly. Whether or not Bush is doing a good job, and he isn't, he should be the least of Britain's concern. Last I heard, Tony Blair wasn't any better, so they need not complain about our government. Plus, we're actually being affected. They have no idea personally what it feels like to have a man like Bush in power.

I think "Dubya" is a terrific president. He has done a lot for the safety of the nation from foreign countries, unlike Clinton. Our gov't is always shown to be the bad guy, but that's because of the liberal media. Conservatives are condemned for ridding the world of the evils, but liberals are praised for sparing them, consequently causing more turmoil. I don't really want to get started, so I'll cut it short. President Bush is wonderful.

Yes I think he is doing a good job.  The media focuses on the negatives in Iraq and not the positives.  They focus on the terrorism which accomplishes the terrorists mission.  And they ignore the new schools, hospitals and even Mosques' we have helped to open.  70% of Iraq lives in a peaceful state, and their police force is growing.  Why do you think the terrorist attack the police forces so much?  Because they know once they are trained and in the right size their days are numbered.\n\nOur economy is in good shape.  60% of American's believe the economy is in good shape according to a recent Zogby poll...but you only hear in the media the Presidents Approval ratings are down.  Not the good news.  Bush's opponents have become full of hate; if he was doing such a bad job why not just promote a positive agenda for change?  They don't do that.  They focus on the bitterness, negativity, and hatred for they have no better agenda to offer.

he is doing the job he was elected to do, protect this country from its enemies.. no  president is perfect .. but the media / left wing  exaggerates  any mistakes  and   twists   the   truth   to its advantage to make Bush appear to be inept ... in reality   history will one show he was one of the best presidents we have had.peace in the US is divided by political alliances not  the individual people like it should be. when you become that dogmatic in your views  you become blind to the truth. peace with the rest of the world  depends on their views as well as ours,  we cant make people  who are so  fanatic in their religion like us . zealots  don't have room  in their ideology for other religions and views...
