Why is bush such a great president?

Amanda writes:\n" - Because he is not a liar like Clinton or Nixon, and because there is no reason to impeach him. But most importantly, I believe that he is trying to follow God's will, and help America with all of his presidential power as best as he can."\n\nWhat kind of drugs was this person on?  What didn't he lie about (WMD, domestic spying, FL election. Ohio election...).  Waging undeclared war IS an impeachable offense.  Lying to congress IS an impeachable offense.  Domestic spying IS an impeachable offense.  Covering up a felony and impeding the investigation of it (exposing a covert operative) IS an impeachable offense.  And by the way, sweetheart, getting your knob polished in the oval office is not supposed to be an impeachable offense.  And while some people believe they are following God's teachings, only a very few actually believe they hold conversations with the Almighty.  And these are INSANE PEOPLE!\n\nHave a nice day.  At least a better day than the familes of the 2,500 dead American serviceman, the 20,000 wounded American servicemen, and the 40,000 dead Iraqis.

Bush IS a Christian and a great president! Christians ask God for guidance in all things and in making decisions. Why wouldn't President Bush?\n\nThank God for a president that consults God in his guidance and decision making; instead of trying to please Liberals, Democrats, Nay Sayers, and the unrelenting media. \n\nHe makes decisions that are right for America, in spite of all the opposition.\n\n\n\nA Christian Conservative Republican

Well, I'm pretty pleased with the job our honorable president is doing.  He has faced such opposition, when the man has only  been trying to do what is right.  I wish him much success.  That is not an easy task- being president of the most powerful nation on the planet.  He has been such a rock.  So steady and unfaltering in his principles.  I don't agree with EVERY decision he makes, but most I do.  I appreciate his ability to not revile and hate back at those that hate him.  That is his most admirable characteristic, in my judgment.  I also appreciate his efforts to protect me and fellow Americans in this very dangerous world.  God Bless the man, George W. Bush!

Bush is an awful president and it's shameful to see so many people who like him. \n\na couple of reasons to hate him: \n\n1- He had Bin Laden cornered and had the resources necessary to find him wherever but then he decided to go to Iraq for no valid reason and he is not even trying anymore to bring the greatest criminal to custody. \n\n2- Bush does not appoint people based on their abilities.  Look at Michael Brown at FEMA, his supreme court nominees, etc.  He gives jobs to his friends regardless of the fact they are incompetent for the position.

He is doing well under difficult circumstances. He was the best man that won two terms. The President is holding up.well with all the criticism, that is very often invalid. The President is a man of Prayer, and is in our prayers, for Diving guidance and wisdom for his decisions. The first President in office to acknowledge his spirituality   , and the First Lady, is a great asset to the President and the Country

people like to call him a dummy and an idiot. But no one gets to be President of this great nation being one of those.  He is a very intelligent man.  Hes very down to earth when he speaks and doesnt pronouce the word "nuclear" right.  But people try to find fault with the stupidest thigngs.

This question is too vague.\n\nObviously you do not like our current president.\n\nI voted for George W. Bush twice and think he is a wonderful president.

I would be inclined to say that he is a fantastic leader.  He is far from being the best (Reagan) but he is one of my favorite presidents.

I believe what makes a great president are a combination of extremely good ethics and a well defined understanding of the human factor involved in such great responsibility. \n\nThe president who uses these best has worked towards balancing National domestic needs and International good will.\n\nAs selected by the Democrats, and leading the list for best President since 1945 is Ronald Reagan. \n\nSurprisingly, the same is true of the Republicans. They considered him over Abraham Lincoln.  See list:\nPoll Results: Which Republican President Was Best?  \nAbraham Lincoln     34.69% \nTeddy Roosevelt     16.33% \nCalvin Coolidge         6.12% \nHerbert Hoover          0 0% \nDwight D. Eisenhower    0 0% \nRichard Nixon     2.04% \nGerald Ford    0 0% \nRonald Reagan     36.73% \nGeorge HW Bush     2.04% \nGeorge W Bush      2.04% \n\nOf course there are those in Princeton who think George Bush is the best...I guess they don't follow the news.\n\nAnyway, as a Canadian, it was President Clinton and President Franklin D. Roosevelt who impressed me the most.

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.

lundstroms2004  answered it BEST!  That is the one 2 above me....\n\nHe is a good president.  What can make him great is HOW he has faced terrorism where NO One ever has, and still the US Economy is rocking.  Is as great if not better then when Clinton left office (Which was an awesome economy then too)\n\nAmazing how a man can WIN 2 Wars during his presidency, still maintain a great economy, and be called the worst president of all time.  Worst at what?

He has one of the best spin machines ever, and that includes nearly all of the right-wing radio and TV shows. Anyone who disagrees or criticizes the administration is immediately attacked, and important issues are never discussed honestly.\nHe consciously and effectively appeals to his base, which includes evangelical Christians and corporations. He does this by promoting their causes (e.g., anti-gay marriags; Terri Schialvo; privatizing as much as possible, including the military, etc.).\nHe appeals to those who want simplistic, tough-guy solutions and who view the world as black and white.  \nIf you like a country in which we stifle criticism and open discussion, we extravagantly reward the "haves," we support specific religious interests, and we talk and act tough to the rest of the world, then George Bush is your man.\nThe bottom line is that he rewards, either materially or symbolically a large group of people who consequently believe he is doing the right thing for them or for the country.

No, I think Bush is an excellent president, I dont think he/ they knew about it. But thats just my opinion

I think he has done a heck of a great job defending us against terrorism. He could work a little harder against immigration, but he has done a lot for humanity. He might not be the most well spoken president but the man has done what he thought was right for us. God says that he puts kings in power and he takes them out of power. So whether it's George Bush or Bill Clinton, they have a purpose to be there.
