What do you think of the Bush Administration?

Bush is a man of action.\nClinton is a coward.\nKennedy was a man of action and they killed him for his beliefs. (Watch out Bush.. the Democrats might be taking aim at you).\nReagan scared Iran to death. They knew he meant business.\nGeorge Washington was a war hero.\nAbe Lincoln was a man of the people. Some people didn't like his stand on the equality of blacks and whites. Of course those who disagreed with him killed him. (Watch out Bush. Last time I checked 70 % of Americans don't approve of how you are running the country).

well i sure dont.his political ettiquette is horrible,as well as his controlling attitude of himself as world leader.\n  his choices are weird and forcing america to stand alone more andm more.\nwe have lost many friends and still loosing more due to his decisions,and it hasnt mattered what the world thought on any thing.\n  im not sure where or what the problem is,but its a big one\ni have never supported g.w.bush and never will.\nthe iraqi war was uncalled for, but now there we must fight it over the mess it drew but it does allow a front for the terriost war in anotehr country now,but there are alot of men dying for errors and false intel.and americans are not thought of well much of any wehre these days because of it,and we the people didnt do it. it was done outside of the un and world backing for false reason,and more has just piled upon them on many fronts in our government.\n  he should be impeached but the rep control will not allow it.\nso what are we to do start another revolution to get our government straight, we would be held as terrorists in guantanomo????????????????

Yes I do, President Bush is an excellent president, who confronts difficult problems instead of ignoring them.  He does the right thing even when it would be easier for him to do the wrong thing.  He is largly responsible for removing the Taliban and Saddam Hussein from power.

Bush is a sad case, he is so out of control that he doesn't realize it, but in his defense the lack of control is not necessarily his fault.  He has a cabinet of slimy corrupt money/power hungry friends that are influencing his decisions in a very detrimental way.

I like President Bush and I think he is doing the best job possible during a period in history that is very difficult and dangerous. I think he will go down in history as one of the better presidents-- not necessarily well liked, but better. There's nothing that says he has to be liked, but he should do the best job that he can, and I think he is doing that.\n\nAs to why people dislike President Bush and slam him so, I think there are several reasons. One is the movie put out by the hatemonger Michael Moore. The man is so filled with bitterness, it is evident that he wants to blame somebody for what hapened, but he seems to be afraid of agreeing with the rest of the world that the perpetrators are the ones who have boasted that they did it.\n\nWhat is even more frightening is that he has convinced others to hate blindly-- all the while pretending that he is fair and unbiased-- so the people he has led into hatred also think they are being fair and unbiased!\n\nThe media have played their part. Good news does not sell newspapers, as an old saying goes, and this is also true of tv news. By selectively choosing polls and slanting questions, it is possible to make the popularity numbers imply almost anything. Once more, let us remember that this is not a popularity contest, but a serious job.\n\nI cringe when I hear people say, "If I was President I'd do this and I'd do that" when it is clear from what they say that they haven't any idea of what the President's powers and responsibilities are.\n\nI have already given several Answers on the topic of the war in Iraq and related subjects; for those who are interested in hearing what I have to say instead of blindly disagreeing with me, I welcome all to check them out instead of repeating myself here.\n\nI will limit my comments to two things. Saddam Hussein did have unconventinal weapons of mass effect; one of the most dangerous was counterfeiting of American currency on the grand scale, which was weakening the American economy. He was trying to do to us what we did to the Soviet Union with our 'Star Wars' spending years ago: cause incredible inflation and eventually bring down the national political system. It was a deliberate attack.\n\nSecondly, Saddam Hussein claimed and boasted of being involved with nuclear research, much as Iran is doing at this very instant. He wanted the entire world to believe that he had or was on the verge of getting nuclear technology. If at any point he wished to reassure the nations of the world, all he had to do was to allow the UN weapons inspections teams into Iraq and let them do their work. He refused. He wanted to control the rest of the world by means of fear.\n\nTo draw an analogy, when a man threatens a cop with a gun, the cop does not have to determine whether it is a real gun or a water pistol. That man is simply bought and paid for; his death is on his own head. If he did not want to take the risk of being shot, he should not have threatened the cop and has no right to complain.\n\nSaddam is an enormously swollen version of a schoolyard bully. He wanted to intimidate the rest of the world into giving in to him, or leaving him alone until he could become even more powerful. \n\nWell, he succeeded in intimidating the rest of the world. But we had a responsibility to see to it that he didn't retain that power, in addition to the ability to attack us economically. He has nobody but himself to blame for prompting us to attack him and remove him from his power base.\n\nIf anything, we should have taken Saddam down back at the time of the first Gulf War. President Bush is, unfortunately, reaping the consequences of the USA being a nation that acts with restraint and adheres to the doctrine of minimum use of force. That is not HIS fault.

I used to hate the man.  And now that everyone hates him--now I'm starting to respect some of his positions: in particular, I like his stance on immigration, and I prefer his--and Condoleeza's--diplomatic efforts during this, his second administration.  My sense is that Mr. Bush is orders of magnitude better than the average Republican, even if McCain, Giuliani, Bloomberg, and Specter are significantly better than him.

I agree wholeheartedly. Whether or not Bush is doing a good job, and he isn't, he should be the least of Britain's concern. Last I heard, Tony Blair wasn't any better, so they need not complain about our government. Plus, we're actually being affected. They have no idea personally what it feels like to have a man like Bush in power.

one of the worst presidents!!! our economy sucks. soldiers are getting killed over WMDs that did not exist! (and even if they did exist... who cares? we got em too!! but no one is invading us and killing our innocent civilians!) he hasn't accomplished anything good for the american people. the unemployment rate has risen since the clinton administration. we are in soooo much debt and so much more that i wont even get into. bush will definitely go down as one of the worst presidents.

Dislike intensely. I do not think he is trustworthy at all. I think he has lined the pockets of his friends (Halliburton!) at the expense of the middle-class. I think he is a big international bully; if other countries did some of the things Bush as ordered done, like invade another country without the support of the UN, Bush would have invaded them, too.  I also find it offensive how Bush and the rest of the Administration think the public are a bunch of sheep--- really, a $100 gas check, but I have to say it is OK to drill in the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve? What kind of deal is that? And how dumb do you think I am, if you think I would accept that?\n\n I think we need to break the Republican stranglehold on power in the upcoming elections.  And I voted, like I always do.  So I am allowed to complain!

Actually the President really has very little power, even though we are lead to believe that he holds in his hands every decision or act.  But as President, I think Bush has been fine.  He certainly has areas that even I don't agree with, but when it comes to standing for this country my hat is off to him.  When it come to standing for something he does, as long as he feel and thinks it is best course to take.   \n\nI think the question aught to be is Congress doing a good job.  That is the question and that is what you are feeling and seeing.  They are doing a bad job. ALL OF THEM

George Bush Jr. for me....Ready to head to war even before 9-11...fiscal irresponsibility....too many disturbing images of hugging and kissing the members of the royal house of Saud...\n\nAnd, in my lifetime..I have never seen the country so extremely divided....\n\nBush claimed to want to "heal" our nation...but it has been split down the middle..and the two side are drifting farther and farther apart....\n\nAlso, when reviewing his first 4 years..and asked if he made any mistakes...or could have done anything differently or better...he replied "Nope."

I totally do not think that Bush is a good president. I recommend watching the movie Loose Change. It proves that 9/11 was a conspiracy, and that Bush knew about it. He let it happen so he could get oil from Iraq. Also, he is doing this new immigration law to distract people from raising high gas prices. This is my opinion.

George Bush is an alright man. I dont think the world of him but i dont think nothing of him. He is the president and he makes the desicions. Not the people. They do have a say in it, but George makes all the final ones. I dont understand why people complain about him. He has done nothing to harm them and has done nothing wrong. I think he is a good president

I'm so ready....I hope that there will be no more Bushes in the White House b/c they all piss me off. I think that anyone else would be a better president than the one we have right now!

I do not complain about President Bush.  I know tons of people that do, but, I feel the guy is doing the best he can.  We re-elected him to finish a job and that we must do!  We look bad when be bad mouth our own.  Yeah, I mean freedom of speech is OK and all, but we as Americans just go for the throat most of the time.  \n\nGreetings from Beautiful New York City, USA!!!

I like Bush.\n\nTax cuts (for everyone)\nGreat economy (especially after the Clintons and 9/11)\nWar against terror (Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea...)\n1st administration to recognize the illegal immigration problem\nHe put more minorities in higher positions than ever before\nDidnt sell secrets to China like Clinton did\netc etc etc\n\nEveryone feels dumb now that they found out the WMDs were real.\nThat WAS the reason people didnt like him.\n\nBTW...Gas prices go up because we don't have enough refineries and environmentalists won't allow us to make more.\n\nThe only problem is that he is weak. He has caved in to the Liberal Media and won't push through with his plans.
