Does George W. Bush have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, he speaks Spanish much better than most Americans, and he's a friend of my President's. Good enough. Other than that, he's a moronic despotic fraud. Thank you for your attention and my two points.

Bush is one of the best presidents ever!!! A very good man. True he is not right about everything but who is. He is doing great under the circumstances. The media totally misrepresents him.

I would.  He's smart and principled.  One might think he should have spoken out louder about his disagreements with the Bush administration.  But his not having done more reflects only on his respect for stability.  He did all that was possible.  He's a good middle ground.

I was asking the same question near the end of Bush Sr's term... things are worse now, than they were then, but I have faith that a good leader can turn things around....\nthere could be problems if a good leader isn't elected...

As a person maybe, as a president he is better than was the option but he leaves a lot to be desired. I am on his side for most issues but not all and I find him to at least be willing to do what he believes to be right. That is rare in politics. He will make the hard choices and stand behind them and that takes balls in his line of work.

Of course he means well. He is not perfect, I am sure he didn't just decide to try to mess things up so america would hate him. WHich is why I 100% support him, because he is human, and I know he is a good person, so he should be given the benefit of the doubt. His terms as president habe been rough, and alot has been accomplished, and he has had alot to deal with during his presidency...he has done a good job, i think.

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")

He seems to be a decent, intelligent, honest, God fearing human being. We had many bad white presidents. Give him a chance.

The latter, most definitely. He tries too hard and is clearly lacking in any conviction of his own. While he does have a certain amount of charisma, I just don't think people trust him enough to ever run the country.

Bush will go done in history as the sorriest President ever. The way he callously mislead countless world leaders with his adolescent college attitude and "better than thou -privileged boy" world view — will have the world recovering from this wound forever.

The word good shouldn't be allowed in the same sentence as the word Bush, unless of course, you are referring to good for nothing. I rate him at minus 000000000000000000000000.

If he keeps his nose clean, he's got a very good shot at the Presidency.  I don't think just yet though, he needs a bit more seasoning.  But I do find the man compelling to listen to (his speech regarding religion in America was amazingly deep for a politician) and he gives off this aura that draws people close to him.  That's invaluable in a Presidential candidate.

George Bush, or is it the other way around.

In John Dean's latest book, "Conservatives Without Conscience," he discusses years and years of psychological research into the minds of conservatives.\n\nWhile they are not mentally "ill," they do posess mostly negative personality traits. This is something I have been aware of for many years of simple contact and observation.\n\nAnd no, Bush is not senile. He is a stupid, evil man.
