Great question! I would most definitely prefer a president that stands up for us and takes care of threats. It is sad how many unthankful people live in America. We are very spoiled!

Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle merite.\n\n"Every nation has the government that it deserves."\n\n(Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821), in a letter on the subject of Russia (Lettres et Opuscules Inedits)[15 Aug. 1811])\n\nThere are many countries with a fraction of the natural beauty and human resources of the Philippines that have a far better standard of living.\n\nThe people vote for the government, they tolerate the wholesale corruption in society .. who else is to blame??

Sometimes I feel embarrassed by our President, because he poorly represents us. Other than that, I don't feel overly proud or embarrassed. In fact, the only time my patriotism rears its head is when others attack our nation and I defend it. No fourth of July barbecue, no nothing.

When we choose foolish people to run our countries, who is more foolish?

"A patriot wraps himself around the flag to defend it; a scoundrel wraps it around himself to defend himself”\n\nI would vote for the latter...

I will never pretend to speak for all Americans, but I am highly qualified to speak for myself.\n\nI am far less concerned about how the rest of the world sees us than I am about my freedom and safety being infringed upon.\n\nI voted for George W. Bush twice, and feel that if he is arrogant or inconsiderate of others it is because he feels the need to protect the people of the country that elected him - twice.

I for one do not.  The world is a nasty place these days and the opinion i have is that our government is full of people who have no morals and no values.  Pride is the only thing that seems to be shaping this world and the leaders of our country and others.They are only out for themselves and have no idea or choose not to see the needs and wants of its people.  If leaders of country's around the world including this one!!, focused on morals, values and had any humanity and will to do what is actually the RIGHT thing to do this world would become an better place.  There will always be some evil, that cannot be avoided.  I only worry for future generations,  they must reap what we have sewn. A one world government is in my opinion only a possibility in fairy tales and science fiction novels

The world is a very good place for humans to exist, it's just some of the people in this world make it something that leaves a lot to be desired.  When poeple stop being like kids fighting over toys the world will be much better.  When our leaders stop fighting each other in the name of justice the wrold will be much better.  When Bush is out of office, the world will be much better.

Protection of the Presidents and their families, protection of dignatories, and counterfitting

The American government has a very good reputation for protecting its citezens abroad.  It should do all that it can diplomaticly to protect its citezens but the individuals need to take responsibiblity for their own safety and understand that some places are not safe to visit.  Its the same in most Islamic nations, in China, in many African nations, and in some areas of India.  You can't count on the U.S. government to bail you out of every bad decision you make in your life.

George Bush is just one person. Alone he is not dangerous. It has potential danger status when the other branches no longer represent the ideas of the people. Yes he has executive privileges that are very dangerous if used improperly but to this point I don't think he has used any of them. He has dealt with many controversial issues that make some people happy and others upset. That just comes with the territory. As American citizens we elect or officials to best serve us and I think that he has done a good job. If you want to point fingers than you don't know how to solve the proble or how our goverment works. Just remember that we are all human and with that comes the ability to make mistakes. I think most people exaggerate his dangerousness in order to advance their personal agenda.

We, the citizens of United States of America, continuously speak of Peace, and Love to each fellow man and woman.  We allege to being a nation of peaceful citizens, opposing injustice and human brutality.\n\nWe consciously and religiously worship god, regardless of our sins.  \n\nWe, the citizens of the United States of America, represent our country.  We are our government, whether we like it or not.  The sins our government may or may not have committed are the responsibility of it's citizens - us.\n\nIf our Presidents is disrespectful, we are disrespectful.  We are our country, we are our President.  \n\nWe are equally responsible for the negativity circulating around our globe.  As Americans, we are just too arrogant to admit this.\n\nIt may be wrong to continue to use god as our armor, falsly repenting during holidays and disasters.\n\nI am not proud that we are so disliked.  I personally have no fear of God, only Love.  I only wish the entire world would see us for the beautiful nation we really are.

Federal Republic does better than either one of those you listed, due to the divided and difused power that the various levels of government has so that power doesn't become concentrated in one area

Self righteousness implies moral superiority and as such it is my belief that this is a human trait that crosses political boundaries but is particular to people and groups that exhibit pathological hatreds. \nPersonally, my morals are neither superior nor inferior to anyone else's. They are mine and mine alone. Finally, I would ask that if a person is going to make rational decisions that they should know how to think for themselves.

There's nothing particularly "bad" about either one, it's just that some individuals see things more in "black" or "white" than others, which would put them on one end of the spectrum or the other as far as politics.  The irony of the matter though is the answer to a lot of issues that "conservatives" and "liberals" often fight over is often in the middle of all this clamoring.  In the end, this is part of what makes America great...the fact that you CAN have any opinion you want about anything, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you are on.  There are many other nations around the world that having an opinion outside of the majority or what is in the government's interest isn't even a remote thought in the minds of the people.  I'm thankful to be here whether I agree with everyone about everything or not.

Frankly, I think anybody would be better than Bush.  He seems insensitive to the needs of the people (or should I say poor people) and he's messing up a perfectly functioning Social Security system, he's determined to keep up the war in the Mid East when nobody clearly knows why we are there.  \n\nI think that you or I or anybody would make a beter president than Bush.
