Is bush an oppressor or the oppressed?

Bush and his fellow neocons are avaricious, power-mad, and short-sighted. They lack the spiritual vision to realize that they are grossly abusing the awesome power they wield. Consumed by self-absorption and a compulsion to continue the morally repugnant policy of Manifest Destiny, they fail to realize that America's ways are not superior to the ways of the rest of the world. Sadly, America's rulers believe they are justified in using invasion, occupation and torture to impose "democracy, capitalism and Christianity" on other nations, just as their predecessors did with Native Americans. Amnesty International has given them a painful reminder of their immoral, illegal acts, and of the limitations of their power.

Yes, you have taken leave of your senses.  Bush is the president of the United States.  He's commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world.  He shouldn't be treated like a normal person because normal people don't have the power to blow up the world several times over.  We can't let him get away with things just to protect is feelings.  If he didn't want the job he wouldn't be president.  It's not really a job you can get without really wanting it.  And the humiliation and ridicule comes with the job.  If he didn't know that going in he also doesn't know how much we hate him.  Besides, he's earned those low approval ratings.  Would you feel bad for a murderer going to jail?  Think about how many deaths Bush is responsible for.  If you ask me, he's getting off easy.

no, but:\n\nBush is a puppet for the wolfowitz doctrine and other high profile secret societies. He is not for the people, he is for corporations, and making money for him and his cronies. Not helping any of use americans. Bush is a good puppet.

Because we're not about saving oppressed people.  There are millions of oppressed people in the world, and we don't do much for them.  We only use the rationale of tyrants and dictators oppressing their people when it suits our economic interests to apply pressure on the governments in power.  \n\nIts not about democracy- its about economics.\n\nLook at Darfur.  There's millions dead there, and Bush hasn't even blinked.\n\nIf these places had resources that they were being less-than forthcoming with to our country, you'd see us "helping" the oppressed people of their country.\n\nIf they don't have resources or economic value to us, they don't get help.\n\nQuite hypocrytical and opportunistic, if you ask me.  But that's the way the world works.

Woe. Bush meets that criteria!\n\nCentralization of authority. Yep!\nDictator? Call him what you want. Dictator is close.\nStringent economic controls?  Yep. The government controls about everything, including 50% of you paycheck if you aren't rich!\nSuppression of opposition? Bush is known for that. Just ask that CIA agent, or all the records the government seized.\nNationalism and Racism? Hmmm. American language as the "Official" language and just look at the border situation and the fence.\n\nIf he isn't he is sure damn well on his way...don't you think!!

I see George Bush as mostly a figurehead.  \nThe neocons who put him in power are the real Anti-Christ.

Of course he is, idoits are falling for this because they are simple minded and brain washed. Bush also lies about how he wants to help people, but waht about people in Hati. Theses people are suffering but too bad for them they don't have anything for Bush to take..

They are/were both depending on when you're talking.  In recent session they were in DC for a small portion of time.  for some things they rubber stamped pretty much all Bush wanted. \n\nInterestly enough, the Dems are throwing stones but they live in the same glass house.  Granted, they had little say, control but still.

It may not be.  Support for President Bush's administration comes mainly in the arena of his efforts to prosecute the war on terror.  That one issue alone has defined his time in office.  There have been mistakes, misjudgements, and he hasn't seen a spending bill that he didn't like.  He's grown government faster than most Democrats could have thought possible, which is saying a lot.  He has made efforts in providing additional funding for disabled people, education (although no child left behind is a really bad program), and, believe it or not the environment.  War time presidents are often consumed with the second guessing and bad press regarding the war that they are on the constant defensive.  So, even though I do support the effort in prosecuting the war on terror (I think that the threat was identified early enough that President Clinton could and should have handled it in the 90's) I don't think that this administration is one of the best.  But compared to Clinton's willingness to deploy the military every time he thought it would make a good photo op, I think George is doing the best he can.

Bush's characteristics are eerily similar to a dictator.\n\nIt's not ok,and its not ok for Republicans to walk all over our American rights!

Bush has killed far more innocent people than Osama.  This is a documented fact.  Bush is a far worse terrorist, but that doesn't exonerate Osama either.  But they actually need eachother as villains to justify their own violent acts.

Amen! Bush not only is a mass murder, but also a hypocrite!!\n\nPeaCe*

I don't think so.  I don't think Bush cares about anybody accept those that can scratch his back; that probably includes most black people.  I don't think he hated black people.  I just think he's an egotistical sociopath.

Are you kidding???\nNon-violence is the policy of Martin Luther King and of Ghandi. The thing they had in common was a principled desire to change oppressive laws and treatment against the powerless.\n\nBush comes from a position of power, and is quite willing to use power in the form of violence, as in Iraq, to achieve his ends.
