I would be very very shocked if George Bush did what Clinton did. After reading a book about Bush, it seems he and Laura have a very good marriage, especially since he's a Christian. But ... just for the sake of argument - I guarantee you that if it happened, Bush would tell the truth to the country when questioned.

No...I heard of a coup attempt to overthrow Bush though. The Democrats are at it now.

No, it's rare that a Senator has become President.  Then you have to factor in the last time he ran he got busted for plagerism.  Then you have this Abramoff Scandle bloomings in which I think I saw he received money from him.

I am certain the election was stolen both times by the low handed illegal tactics of Bush and Company. It was close for sure but stolen never-the-less.\nThe sort of tactics used to steal the elections is exactly the same sort of tactics he is using now to spy on the American people.\nCan't someone somewhere expose this guy for what he is in such a way to show even the religious right the error of their thinking.

First, Bush 'played' a college kid;\nthen he 'played' in the reserves, just enough so that his daddy could give him the chance to fly a jetfighter without actually participating in the rigid regimen most reservists have to endure;\nthen he 'played' businessman and oil tycoon, losing investors' money by the millions;\nthen he 'played' governor of Texas;\nnow he's 'playing' President and Commander-In-Chief without even realizing that his own family - and their wealthy friends - have set him up as a 'patsy' that only does as he's told to do, when he's told to do, and how he's coached to act.    -RKO-

First the president would have to committ a crime, as he can only be tried by the senate (the house draws the articles).  There's no precedent for a coup without fault.  As many people would like to think, Bush has broken no laws.  Lying isn't against the law, unless it's under oath, and he never was.  Deal with it.  If he breaks the law, then we'll talk

Yes, he lied about the reasons to go into war which has caused the deaths of people he is sworn to protect. If Clinton could be impeached for lying about his private sex life, then Bush can be impeached for some far more sinister.

Let's see...  Bush stole an election, lied about the reasons for war, appointed incompetent cronies to his cabinet, fired people who tried to tell the truth, and started spying on Americans in clear violation of the law.\n\nClinton lied about having an affair.\n\nGee, tough call...

He wasn't reelected he was appointed the first time. I have no idea what 51% of the people were thinking, oh I know they wasn't thinking, just marched right in and pulled a lever and it happened to be his. I really think he cheated in Ohio and maybe a coulple more states.

No he wouldn't. Unlike old Bush, Bill Clinton is not an idiot who would break the law for his son. Also, he wouldn't have had Jeb to help him with cheating in Florida. His father's friends were also the ones that got him into good schools, the Texas Air National Guard (where he received a Dishonorable Discharge), aand who got him his multiple oil companies he ran into the ground. Also, HE DID NOT GET THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTE IN 2000. THE SUPREME COURT WAS IN HIS POCKET, AND HE CHEATED IN FLORIDA. ONE MORE THING, GORE HAD THE POPULAR VOTE, MEANING THAT GORE HAD THE MAJORITY! So, no, Bush would have failed miserably in life and would have hopefully been in prison, as one answer said. But yes, it's still possible!

You know, before George W. Bush became the President of the US, I wouldn't have believed you. Now that I know that is possible, I know that ANYTHING is possible. So yes, I would believe you.

No - the President did not blunder - he only lied.\nHis intention was to invade Iraq regardless of WMD - the reasons put out were just a smoke screen of lies.

I dont think so, but he eventually became chief justice of the supreme court...he never really wanted to be president, however his bid for election for a second term was disrupted by his predecessor and the bull-moose party

At no point during his presidency did George Bush wear a crown. He was not, nor is he autonomous. The decisions regarding Iraq are not his alone. He had backing, remember? Many democrats were among those backers initially.

A great many other presidents have been proof of this as well...\n\nIt is the sad lie that anyone can grow up to be President..it simply isn't true...You need vast financial resources, vast support and a vast network of connections...\n\nThat is why the common man could never achieve this office...\n\nI often wonder if a regular guy got in at the White House..if he couldn't be like the movie "Dave," and just use common sense to get our spending under control..and make the decisions that need to be made without fear of lobbyist disapproval and "stepping on any toes..."
