Do You Believe the President has done a good job or a poor job and should we be helping iraq or not and why?

Poor Job.\n\nNo, we shouldn't have went into Iraq in the first place.

Obviously you have valuable experience that would help in the current conflict.\n\nUS troops should be open to hearing other perspectives.\n\nHowever, the real problem is NOT with the troops, it's with the President who put them in Iraq in the first place, and who fails to give them the support to do their job right.\n\nIt's the President who really should have listened to the other countries in the UN years ago, who said give the weapons inspectors time to do their job. But no, he had to invade, and there were no wmds.\n\nPlease don't blame the US troops - they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. Blame the Americans for electing Bush again, and blame bush for not listening to the experience of other countries.\n\nNow that we have voted in a Democratic congress and senate, things will change rapidly.

Yes, as it will show America that the Bush administration has made some signifigant steps in helping the Iraqi people, and also show that things are being done in Iraq, its not just a bogged down mess

We should not support this war at all. Our president just wanted to show that he was reacting in some way. However, he has created a mess in Iraq.

All presidents have their good points and bad points, their ups and downs. Is President Bush perfect? Absolutely not. But no other president before him has been perfect. Has he done the best he can with the information given? I believe so. Do I want to be at war in Iraq with soldiers being killed over there? No, but I guarantee if Kerry had been president and had the same information Bush did, he would have done the same thing. We're all so quick to judge, but he's doing the best he can. I'm so glad that we can have a moral man in the White House. Someone with scruples.

Bush has done better than average with the hand he has been dealt while he has been President. While he is in no way the greatest President of all time. It usually takes an uber-lib to come out with the adjectives such as "pathetic".... especially when stating the "failure" without specific evidence as to how he has failed. (And NO, being in a war is not "failure")

The job is mostly done - but not yet complete.\n\nOur work in Iraq is like building a house.  We have the foundation and framing finished - but it is not yet ready for occupancy.  Let us finish the job.

I think anyone with reason and a little humility could do a better job.\n\nIf he was my employee he wouldn't last very long. He puts theories into action that have never been proven that cost the taxpayers trillions of dollars. We spend more on our defense budget now than all the other counties in the world combined.\n\nTo anyone that has been paying attention, that isn't an unadulterated, closed minded Bush lover, this country is heading down the wrong path. We cut education and all sorts of other budgets to fund a war that was based on lies.\n\nNow is that a reasonable thing to do?

A president should inspired and lead through example.\n\nCarter gets the rap for his handling of the Iranian crisis, where he came off as indecisive.\n\nClinton was a waffler, but he helped the US economy.\n\nBush is vague, stupid, says the most vacuous facile shite and does not inspire anyone with confidence or that he has a clue as to what he's doing.\n\nThe numerous blunders of Iraq, Katrina, Osama, Halliburton leads one to conclude he is grossly incompetant and is merely a puppet for Dick Cheney.

Nope.  He's been a terrible President.  It's depressing to think what a truly great and brave President could have done after 9/11.  He could have united the world behind us and we could have tackled all kinds of tough problems.  Bush squandered all that with his stupid war, divisive politics and reckless budget policies.  Worst President ever?  Bottom 5 for sure!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Please, only people who think he's a good president are hard core republicans.\n\nDont get be wrong, Im solidly middle of the road on most issues, i support our millitary 100%. I think Bush needs beter advisers, cause I dont think he's got the right stuff to be the Top man. Partly politics is bad for this country, that goes for Democrates, Commies, Libratarians or what ever. \n\nI'm all for some of the things George W has done, I just think he did a poor job on almost everything he's got involved in.

Not in his term, but I believe we are on the right track. Can you even imagine if we had of not done anything at all after 911, where we would be by now....Hopefully when Mr. Bush leaves office, the person taking over will continue his efforts for a peaceful Iraq.

you do know that when there is a crisis ( hurricane) The 'president' send out the country's forces ( soldiers) But Bush was too busy sendin out all his soldiers to Iraq to murder innocent people for the sake of conquer, oil, mercury, gold and uraniam.. But if he hadnt messed it up for Iraq he would have had all his soldiers in service for their country.. He used all his soldiers for 'his' service. Heck who cares about the country when there's a huge gold/oil mine down in the middle east? think bout it.\n\n\nbtw, people who stayed were either poor or uncapable of transport ( elders)

I do.  I don't understand why 80+% of people thought he was a good president when we were going to war and dealing with terrorism and now half of the population has decided he shouldn't have gone.  Where's the consistency?  I guess popular opinion is fickle and that's why I support Bush, because he doesn't just base his decisions on popular opinion.

No. He has abused his power. He has lied to the people he is supposed to serve. He is self-serving and supports big business while cutting assistance to those who need it most. Jobs are being outsourced at an astounding rate under his administration. When he took office there was a budget suplus, now we have enormous deficit. He talks about keeping our nation safe while allowing illegal immigrants to enter the nation at thousands per day. He has burdened our education system with his ineffective "no child left behind" without providing the funding to support it. He has taken us to war against another country with faulty intelligence (which, of course, he was well aware). Many in his administration are corrupt and unethical. He apoints people that are not qualified for their positions. (And people call these the actions of a Christian? Not in my book.)\n\nDo I think he's a good president? I think he's the worst President we've had in my lifetime, and I've been around for awhile. Unfortunately, he will remain the President long enough to do more damage.

he's doing a an ok job. We could have had a better president. He was the best choice at the time of the election.
