I take it that you Americans do not like your president.  What is there not to like about Bush?  He has kept his pants on and he has kept from being shot.  I am from canada and I like Mr. Bush.  So what, he went to war a few times.  Canada has not followed him all the time.  We only have a small army so we have to be careful where we put our very small army in this world.  There are people here in canada who want a even smaller army.  Imagine that!

You are assuming the Bush family is much more competent than it is.

Actually, I disagree with the first two posts. Bush has had much more power during his term. If Clinton did half of the things Bush has done during his Presidency, Clinton would have been lynched.\n\nTo answer the question, IMO I would like to see a "smarter President" take office. And no, I don’t think any President should have the power to steal an election, send a country to war under false pretences and force their greedy agenda on the country they are supposed to serve.

Bush is against:\nAbortion\nAffirmative Action\nGay Marriage \nGay Civil Unions\n\nKerry is for all of the above.  As it so happens, I dont believe in Abortion, Gay Marriage or Civil Unions, or Affirmative Action.  That is why Bush is clearly better than Kerry.  Also, Kerry would have been a disaster in the war on terror

IT IS LIKE CHOOSING BETWEEN EVIL AND EVIL..\n\nboth have excelled as criminals and are actually muderers responsible for the death of uncountable innocent people..\n\nbut yes george bush is better because he doesn't believe that other religions are religions of kafirs and that shariyat should be established..  \natleast his jehad has a motive (oil...oil...oil in iraq)\nosama's doesn't make sense..

Better how?\n\nThe Kennedys are the most successful politically.  The Bush's have the best moral values.

Is it really possible to be dumber than Bush? Looking at the posts from fat old fart and pobept, I'd have to say it is.

Anyone would be better then any Bush. But I prefer Hillary, she is a stong, intelligent woman not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have one of the best advisers in the world in her husband, he is the last president to be elected legally and also the most successful in 40 years.

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")

Dr Mahathir is a better leader...

I loved Clinton. Our country was in much better shape when he was President. I mean think about it, if the worst thing Bush had done was lie about getting a #@%$&^#, don't you think America might be a bit better off than we are?

Popularity definately changes over time. While Clinton was president, he was greatly favored. He was intelligent and a wonderful speaker. Now, the majority [but not all] of society looks down upon the years of his presidency. In this sense, I think Bush will be praised in the future for his contribution to the American society. He DID quickly retaliate after 9/11 occurred, much like FDR did after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Within 6 months, troops were sent overseas. He has made foolish decisions, but he also has made intelligent ones. Because of this, I think Bush will be viewed as a good president in the future.

I'd rather have Donald Duck for president than Bush. Anyone who thinks he's the best president ever is either a little kid or a fundamentalist nut job...with a 3rd grade education.

yes!!  \n\nTake a look at President Reagan.  He was given so much critisism for Iran Contra, Evil Empire, and Star Wars.  But look now, he's revered as a great man who caused the collapse of communism.  It's all about sticking to your beliefs and I think that's exactly what President Bush is doing.  There's always going to be critics.  But the smart people, the majority do see President Bush as doing a good  job.

Clinton was the better president and Bush is the better husband.
