Is George W. Bush a good political leader?
476855
a very subjective question here!  the answers will vary from one end of the spectrium to the other.  so for myself, one politician is about as good as the next, you can't count on them doing anything that wont benefit someone that can't benefit themself.

I think "Dubya" is a terrific president. He has done a lot for the safety of the nation from foreign countries, unlike Clinton. Our gov't is always shown to be the bad guy, but that's because of the liberal media. Conservatives are condemned for ridding the world of the evils, but liberals are praised for sparing them, consequently causing more turmoil. I don't really want to get started, so I'll cut it short. President Bush is wonderful.

Please go ahead and look through my responses. While I do often disagree with the President and his supporters, I often state that I feel he has good intentions and is certainly not evil or stupid.\n\nI don't think President Bush is the best, but he is certainly not the worst either.\n\nOn the other hand, when you say that I am stupid and an infidel and unChristian (from your own list of questions), you are undermining your whole idea. You start seeking out people specifically to insult them and make them feel bad, and then claim it is unfair and impolite for them to behave just as badly as you do.

George W. Bush is the Best President Ever

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

Absolutely! And he will be viewed as one of the best Presidents ever. He has the courage of his convictions and is not swayed by public opinion as his predecessor was.

It means that when the President speaks on any subject, people listen. I have no respect for George W. Bush, but a decent President could affect American society by speaking out intelligently on many issues over which he or she has no direct authority.

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...

George Bush is just one person. Alone he is not dangerous. It has potential danger status when the other branches no longer represent the ideas of the people. Yes he has executive privileges that are very dangerous if used improperly but to this point I don't think he has used any of them. He has dealt with many controversial issues that make some people happy and others upset. That just comes with the territory. As American citizens we elect or officials to best serve us and I think that he has done a good job. If you want to point fingers than you don't know how to solve the proble or how our goverment works. Just remember that we are all human and with that comes the ability to make mistakes. I think most people exaggerate his dangerousness in order to advance their personal agenda.

Although I think Bush is a poor president in key areas, DJ seems to have some really good points.  I'll acknowledge that Bush is a man of action and that many of his actions especially right after 911 were on target.   However,\n\nWhen it comes to his overall leadership, he is missing several of the most important leadership qualities.  #1: Communication skills.  Without any doubt he will go down as the anti-thesis of Reagan who was our "great communicator"  Bush couldn't convince the devil: the qualities of an airconditioner, and he's from Texas.  He makes everyone I know cringe when he speaks - even my conservative friends can't stand this fatal flaw of his presidency.  \n\n2nd - he makes up his mind quickly and never changes it - good quality after 911 for a while, but he can't adapt and overcome.  When he's wrong - he won't admit it - ever.  (No real plan to win the peace in Iraq after the regime was overthrown - and 3 years later - still no real plan -  not willing to work with the U.N. peacekeeping forces as a legitimate transfer of power in the region)\n3rd flaw - he's appointed some inefficient lack luster people to key positions in the government - FEMA, Treasury, Attorney General, CIA, Defense, State Dept. and the Supreme Court, to name a few apparently unimportant areas.  Many of these people couldn't run a horse show let alone a key gov't agency.\n\nIt's time for new leadership - impeachment is very unlikely.  Lets get someone next time that at least knows how to speak English clearly- and that has true leadership qualities.

George Bush could bring world peace to the world and some people would still hate him.  i guess just because they are haters. since Bush has been president:\nUnemployement is lowest in 5 years\nEconomy is booming\nWe have lower taxes\nMore money given to the poor\nWe are safer than before\nSounds like a good president to me.

I read your answers.  You don't know grammer and you can't spell.  You don't know anything about George Bush, except you've heard morons on tv trash him.  He's a great president.  We haven't been attacked since 9/11, he lowered taxes, he passed the no child left behind act, and he's doing all he can for America.  I don't agree with everything he does, but I know he cares about America, he has character, and he has courage.  He flew into Iraq twice during the war, once to have thanksgiving dinner with the troops.

My only problem with President Bush is that he can't run for a third term.  I think he is a wonderful President.  Greatness is not appreciated in its own time.  Neither Mozart nor Shakespeare were considered geniuses in their day.\n\nIn fifty years time, the history books will record that George W. Bush (and his close friend Tony Blair) rid the world of a dangerous evil.  Peaceful democratically elected Middle Eastern governments will erect statues of him honoring him as the man who brought peace and freedom to their troubled land.\n\nI would like to see him veto a spending bill, but has anyone noticed that our economy is doing quite well.  There hasn't been another terrorist attack on our soil.  Perhaps this is because he is intercepting the cell phone calls of terrorists.

Why is Bush such a good President?\n\n1) He's a real STATESMAN. He doesn't pander to the public opinion polls like his democratic counterparts. Face it, Clinton would read a poll before deciding how to vote. Bush isn't out to win any popularity contests; he takes job very seriously.\n\n2) No more attacks since 9-11. Bush has fulfilled the most basic obligation he has as President: to protect and preserve the Union against attack.\n\n3) He has vision. While other politicians would only see in alterable chaos in the Middle East, Bush saw a region ripe for change. He understands that everyone years to be free. Now, people all over the Middle East are clamouring for their chance at democracy. They've seen it, they want it.\n\n4) You can trust him. Whether you like or dislike Bush, practically anyone will agree that he does what he says. He is very plain spoken. With other politicians like Kerry, you would get a different speech depending on what state you were in. \n\nI know this will eliminate any chance of getting your Best Answer vote, but Clinton accomplished some good things.  He reformed Welfare.  Sure, maybe the Newt Gingrich congress bullied him into it, but Clinton followed their lead.  He was bright and articulate. \n\nClinton could have done so much more if people would have stopped all the pointless investigations.... travelgate, the Monica Lewinsky case, ad nauseum.\n\nA President is still a human being, but we treat Presidents as if they should be able to wave a magic wand and make everything perfect.  As someone who did not vote for Clinton, let me say point out that if his attention had not been forcibly diverted in 100 different directions by all the accusations of misconduct, he might have been made better decisions regarding terrorism.\n\nHere's a proposition:  let's start stop being a nation of hypocrites, prudes, and childish thinkers.  The people who could best serve our nation: in Congress, the Senate, governorships, and in the Presidency will never run for office.  Understandably, they don't want to endure a humiliating, privacy-invading microscope of undue attention.  Whose past could survive such relentless scrutiny?\n\nLet's stop scrutinizing our candidates to the point where no one who is qualified wants to run for office.
