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.

Yes I think he is doing a good job.  The media focuses on the negatives in Iraq and not the positives.  They focus on the terrorism which accomplishes the terrorists mission.  And they ignore the new schools, hospitals and even Mosques' we have helped to open.  70% of Iraq lives in a peaceful state, and their police force is growing.  Why do you think the terrorist attack the police forces so much?  Because they know once they are trained and in the right size their days are numbered.\n\nOur economy is in good shape.  60% of American's believe the economy is in good shape according to a recent Zogby poll...but you only hear in the media the Presidents Approval ratings are down.  Not the good news.  Bush's opponents have become full of hate; if he was doing such a bad job why not just promote a positive agenda for change?  They don't do that.  They focus on the bitterness, negativity, and hatred for they have no better agenda to offer.

While I had my problems with Clinton, trade issues, especially, he was intelligent, capable, eloquent and cared about people. Bush has none of those qualities.\n\nClinton also reversed 12 years of deficit spending and created a 7 trillion dollar surplus. Bush wasted it in the space of about 2 years.

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 think Bush is a great man. He has delt with soo much since he has been in office. My props out to the guy. No matter who is elected to be in office there will always be people who don't agree. You can not please everyone.

Even as a conservative, I say he is in no way the best we have had at President. But also, he is far from the worst (Nixon, Carter, Hoover, Clinton, McKinley, etc, all worse).\n\nHe's done good, but he has also made poor decisions, as all leaders do. I'd rank him as slightly above average.

I believe President Bush is not the best public speaker. Maybe you could even say he is bad. I don't think that is a reflection of his intelligence and truely I don't believe anyone could draw that conclusion solely on how he presents himself. I believe everyone here including myself is not in a position to say since none of us know him personally. I can say that he was educated at some of the best schools in the world. Yale University, bachelor's degree, history, Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. If I had to guess, I would say he is intelligent.\n\nHistory will be the judge, 50yrs from now everyone who has put down this administration will see for themselves how truely stupid they were at the time.

there were many good presidents and many not soo good presidents.  since i dont know my history well enough to answer this i will just guess at a few that i think were good.  george w.  and i mean WASHINGTON and not bush.  abe lincoln.  Theodore roseavelt.  JKF.  and i'm actually considering William Clinton.  I might be missing a few but like i said it was an educated guess.

I totally support my president. (and you should too) I believe he has done an outstanding job as our president.\nPresident Bush is willing to take political risks to do what is best for the United States as a whole. That is his job and he should be commended for doing it.

No President can satisfy each and every individual.  In the given circumstance, his is the best. Even the best President of US will do the same thing what Bush has done. His actions are the best.  Take it from me, the next president of US will make the present one the best - his worst critics will only say these words.  His actions were all by and large good ones. No doubt.

i think he is a good leader and is looking out for our best interests. i know i know, "how is killing people for no reason looking out for our best interests?" but there is a reason. saddam hussein was threatening us and his people were in trouble and al quaeda attacked us. i feel so much safer now that saddam is out of power and we are looking for osama. plus, the news never shows the good things happening in iraq, like that a majority of the people their are grateful for our help and are so happy with their new freedom! i know this because friends of mine are in iraq and they tell us these things and ask why the news never shows it. they think no one here supports them! george w. bush is doing a good job as president and i think that if john kerry had won the election his head would be spinning and he would have no idea what to do about iraq. i'm notsaying this to offend anyone so please don't be angry! that's just how i roll.

George Bush IS a great president. He is the best person we could have had in office when 9-11 hit. He's done a great job economically. Our economy is on the rise. He is also steadfast when it comes to the war on terror. I know that he cannot run for a 3rd term but if he could I would vote for him again.

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.

no offense but i think george w bush is a bad president because he left the victims in the Katrina inside New Orleans for a whole week (7 whole days). If the news and camera crews could come to new orleans i think that bush could have gotton a plane and semt people out of their!
