Does George W Bush make you ashamed?

yes, i am sooooo ashamed. if we put aside political arguments for a moment, we are then left with a person that is unable to pronounce the word nuclear. i would think that might be an important word for a president to know.

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")

Yes it is, we was never very well liked in the world but now we are hated. Bush has made many enemys with his lies and actions.

Yes, there are many people who love Bush and think all of his stumbles and gaffes were made up by the media.  These are the same people who think that if you criticize the president, you are somehow giving comfort to "the enemy" and are a traitor.  They say they believe in America and the flag, but they would stifle freedom of speech in the name of patriotism.  They scare me because if there are enough of them, they can destroy America and all that it stands for.

I have no feelings for President Bush.\n\nI haven't thought about his being or not being a complete idiot.\n\nBy the way, what is a 1/2 an idiot?  or 1/3 of an idiot?

IT'S VERY EASY TO KNOW THAT GEORGE. W. BUSH IS THE WORST EVER.  ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO KNOW IT IS BE CONSCIOUS.

No, but Bill and George have both done and not done things that have hurt this country. Not everything is Bill's fault, but he doesn't deserve much credit for anything good either. I'd say the same for George W. Bush as well. The only thing I can give Bush credit for is, we haven't had a major terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11/2001. Other than that, he hasn't accomplished much. He has made his own pockets fatter from gouged, outrageously gas prices, but that hasn't helped the country of course, it has only helped him and his family while it hurts so many others.\n\nI do have to say though, Bush hasn't had much help from the Democrats in Washington either, because they have pouted most of the two terms Bush has been in office. Their candidates, who were both jokes, lost in both attempts at being elected President. So....instead of swallowing their pride and trying to work with Bush to try to do what was best for our country, they acted like little kids who refused to play ball with the other kids on the playground. We have to get over our petty differences in this country or we're doomed. We also need to quit giving everything to the lazy citizens of our population, the minorities, and the illegal aliens who don't deserve a damn thing that legal Americans bust their butts for every day of their lives.\n\nIf Hillary wins I'll move for sure, that will be just plain embarrassing.

"He who is without sin, cast the first stone."  All of you should be ashamed for the hatred that you show towards indviduals, even though your reference to hate is only subtle.  If we asked for every president to apologize for their mistakes, where would we be?  I'm not condoning the man, but I cannot accept the answers you give as those from knowledgable, thinking, unbiased people.

I am a Bush supporter, but I think this is terrible thing to say or even think. I know they hurt our feelings in here daily, but I'm not going to sink that low. Shame on you.

My country is the U.S. and George Bush has made me ashamed of it. After Vietnam fiasco it took me years to get back the respect I had for my flag and now Bush has wrapped himself in it and I suspect, used it as a substitute for toilet paper (figuratively). I will be very happy when Bush is politically castrated at the polls next Tuesday.

I think that Bush has touted himself as a religious leader.  I feel that Bush can be viewed by anyone as anything, so yes, some do.  I think this is probably the worst thing that could happen.  God must have told him to invade Iraq.

I'm not George Bush fan, but thanks nonetheless for this question.   Hopefully, some of those who are blinded by their hatred will learn to "simmah down" a little.  To be credible with criticism, you've got to maintain perspective.  I see some have already succombed to temptation, and demonstrated that they can't operate within the constraints of the question . . . sad really.\n\nMuch as I find to dislike about him, I also do find some good things.  He is willing to stick to his principles, even when he fully knows it is politically unpopular.  He has tried (unsuccessfully) to change the poisonous atmosphere in D.C.   He has complimented Clinton, minimized the attention placed on the Clinton destruction and plundering of the White House when they left, made real outreach to include Kennedy, Hillary, and other opponents.  All of which has been reciprocated by nastiness.   As you point out, he is a stellar role model for fitness.  And if you admire his wife Laura, as I do, you have to consider that she chose him for her husband: a pretty powerful endorsement.

No.  Honestly I've seen a lot of George W. Bush's life before he became President.  Not only is he a bad President, but he was a disastrous governor in Texas and did the same thing to their state as he has to the United States and flushed it right down the toilet, and he's a generally poor example of a human being.\n\nBefore doing that, he spent his life doing absolutely nothing except screwing up and letting other people take the blame.  Gets into the National Guard, spends his whole time there on a drinking binge, then goes AWOL for seven months?  Who cares?  It's not like we were executing other people's children for that sort of behavior at the time (well, we actually were, but not the RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE'S children, and that's the important thing to remember).  Gets busted for drunk and disorderly?  Boys will be boys!  You're not supposed to remember that's something that usually ruins the lives of your average day folk, after all.  Mis-invests public money in failed efforts to find oil in a state where people are literally tripping over the stuff in the streets?  Daddy's friends can take care of it.  S&L scandal loses 90 million?  Oh gosh, not his fault.  Bail out time.  Plunges Texas from its best economic times straight into the worst recession in its history?  That has to be the last guy's fault, you know... everyone loves me.\n\nBe offended if you like the guy, but you have to ignore common sense to review the man's record and think he should be allowed to run a 7-11, much less an entire country.\n\nThe bottom line on what went wrong is that an incompetent man who never should have been allowed to make a serious bid for the office of President was swept into it, and did what all incompetent men do.  He screwed up.  What continued to go wrong was that he ended up in the one job where no one could feasibly fire him for it and the people were too apathetic to collectively afford themselves of the opportunity to do it, so he just kept screwing up, and kept screwing up, and kept screwing up... and when it came time for people to decide whether or not he should be stopped, he hired some very clever people to distract the public from what a poor job he did just long enough to let him keep his job because, apparently, he WANTED to keep screwing up, and keep screwing up, and keep screwing up for reasons unknown.\n\nI'm afraid the state the country is in, and the President's "lowest in the history of the United States" approval ratings, are both the fault of the same two things:\n\n1)  A man who refuses to take the advice of wiser people even when it's mind-numbingly apparent he has no idea what's going on or what to do about it, because he has visions of ruling the world; and\n\n2)  A country of people who allow him to keep doing it.\n\nMaybe instead of voting for looks and a bit of charm, we should try voting on who has the best grasp of the issues, who demonstrates the best ability to lead, and whose track record demonstrates the most competence for the job they're applying for.  It might just avoid some of these problems in the future.\n\n\n\nP.S.-- Oh, and for the record GWB didn't manage any of the things BassCatcher ascribes to him.  His college grades were lackluster, he wasn't responsible for winning his elections (quite a few advisers his father handed down to him were... and whatever else you care to say about Bush Sr, the man was awfully bright and hired good help), he didn't accomplish more than 300 million people by being the only one out of them who could have been elected President since most people, quite a few much more solidly qualified than him (even in the conservative base) don't aspire to that job, and the bulk of evidence indicates he wasn't elected either time in any case since in both elections reviews by the state of Florida found evidence of massive voter fraud (and in both elections losing Florida wou

If Gog was speaking to Bush I'd bet he'd ask him Why George? Why are you standing against what you have learned as a Christian? Why are you being such a minon of evil?

It has been suggested that Bush feels that way. There is no doubt that he is obsessed with his place in history – even more so than your average egomaniacal politician. It might explain his apparent lack of concern for his complete failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, for allowing Israel to choke the Palestinians to death, and for further destabilizing the already volatile Middle East. And, he does maintain that he invaded Iraq on instructions from God and he began the invasion talking about it as a crusade. The US President is a very sick puppy – and very dangerous.
