I think he is doing great

No. I think he has done a pretty good job. He has made one big mistake. Supporting Bush in the Iraq war. Everything else has been ok.

I believe that Bush has done and continues to do more damage to this country than any other president in the history of the United States.  He managed to turn unprecedented international support into unprecedented international disdain.  He has invaded a sovereign nation for no apparent reason, overextending the military and diverting resources form the legitimate military campaign (the one aimed at actually finding the people who attacked us).  He sent military forces into Iraq with no viable exit plan (which was obvious to many of us from the start and has since become obvious to most).  He has turned an record fiscal surplus into a record fiscal deficit.  He has trampled, and continues to trample, on the bill of rights.  He has forced congress to approve the appointments of radically conservative judges, who will continue to errode our civil rights for years to come.  He has spent billions of dollars on an unnecessary war while schools accross the country are discontinuing art, PE, music, even science and history classes due to lack of funding; entire schools are closing resulting in larger class sizes; special ed programs are being closing.\n\nOK guys, I don't think the asker meant he *literally* wanted to replace Bush with Nixon, but rather that Nixon did less damage as president than Bush is doing.  I expect he knows he's dead...  Although, I must agree that a dead Nixon would be better than Bush in that at least he couldn't actively harm or nation.  For that matter a grapefruit would make a better president than Bush.\n\n_____________\n>>>Do any of you liberals have an original thought in your head \n>>>that DIDN'T come from moveon.org or Micheal Moore?\n\nFrom what I can tell the ONLY thoughts in your head are "Bush good" and "liberals bad."  My political opinions are based on my personal morals, my own observations, and my interpretation of what I read in the news.  Yours appear to be based on a misguided believe that anyone who did not vote for Bush is a terrorist.  Perhaps there is a reason you feel the need to attack anyone who questions your idiomatic ideology?\n\n___________\n>>>There was a very good reason - Iraq lost a war in 1991 and \n>>>didn't submit to UN inspections for WMD. Even Clinton was \n>>>ready to invade in 1998, where was your outrage then?\n\nYou may note that Clinton did NOT invade in 1998.  If he had, I probably would have been outraged, although as he DIDN'T I can't comment on the exact circumstances that would have surrounded this decision.  You may also note that old Bush chose to withdraw from Iraq rather than overthrow Saddam.  Again, there's a reason.  Besides which, failing to submit to UN inspections may or may not be cause for UN action, but it is not a justification for unilateral US action.  Even Bush has stopped talking about UN inspections and WMDs.\n\nAlso note that this is only ONE of the many atrocious policy decisions for which Bush is responsible.  Apparently you can find no argument with the rest of them.\n\n____________\n>>>No you wouldn't have\n\nYou have no basis on which to determine what I would and would not do.  I would not and do not support the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation no matter who happens to be president.  And the fact remains that CLINTON DIDN'T DO IT.\n\n>>>AND SEVERAL OTHER NATIONS\n\nOh, sorry, I forgot Poland.  Seriously, though, we had the UK on our side, and a couple of tiny countries who are dependent upon our financial support, but that's about it.  It was unilateral primarily in that we did not consult with other nations in making the decision to invade, not in that there weren't a handful of other countries fighting along side us.\n\n>>>Don't give me the tired WMD crap either - you know DAMN \n>>>well he had them, just ask the Kurds, "Where are they now?"\n>>>would be

I certainly am! Now the only problem is getting things done... I expect a few vetoes on bills that Democrats attempt to pass, but then again Bush will be a lame duck for the most part.\n\nI firmly believe that this country will once again start prospering, and regardless of what "Bill Clinton got a BJ Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" idiots say, I believe we're finally on the right track again!\n\n\nPS Remember this pro-republicans: Clinton TRIED to get rid of Osama but YOU ALL started whining about his attempts and calling it a distraction from the lying issue. Remember that 9/11 happened on BUSH'S watch, and remember that HE is the reason why we're in Iraqnam right now. You all LOVE to whine about "the Democrat's don't have a plan wahhhhhhhhhhhhh", but the Dem's DO.\n\n\nThe Democrat's Plan: To clean up the sh*t piles you Republicans have left all across America and in the Middle East.

Bush is keeping him on.\n\nTranslation:"The hell with policy and the voice of our military"--Bush.\n\nBUSH has proven to be the INDISPUTABLE "Cowardly Defeatist"

I mean... it's good of course...\n\nbut that's in the past 5 years... so he's not even reached his own personal low yet... so he's still higher than it's been under him... overall, not the best rate of growth...\n\nthe simple fact is... the economy is starting to go in the direction it was going in the 90s... starting... but he's not been able to maintain that kind of continual growth in his presidency... it's always been one step forward, one step back...\n\nI mean it's better than the economy getting worse of course...

I feel that he is trying his best for all the chaos that he is facing since begining of his presidency. We should support him, anyway he won the election that means most American chose him to run this country. I am not Bush supporter but I believe that we should support whoever run our country at this moment.

Bush is as honest as a politician can be, he does what he says and says what he does eventually. He believes in his vision and stands firm, that says something. many might disagree with the way the Iraq war is going but you got to admit he has done a lot of good. economy is very strong, unemployment is at record lows, stock market is soaring, but his immigration policies well to be blunt they s u c k big time. but who's perfect.

No matter how miserable the conditions get in USA, the presidents themselves are doing more than ok.\n\nThe dude is mainly a puppetstring of rightwing, but has some own dangerous ideas about how far can country`s leader  go in dominating the other countries he is interested of, for  oil sources.

oh i agree with you there! i think he is doing the best he can being one man and having so much on his plate. the United states is having major issues especially with terrorists and wether bush was president or not, they still would have attacked us they were planning it for years and years and they hate us. i bet if a different president were in office everyone would hate him too because people love to blame someone when things go wrong but the bottom line is he is our president, the one who is fighting for us, maybe we should blame .. hmm i dont know .. the terrorists who flew planes into our buildings and killed thousands of innocent people on an ordinary tuesday morning!\noh and kia u are worried about terrorism cuz he is in office.. that is because they attacked while he was in office not because of him! the point of him not giving up the war is to keep terrorists from gaining strength again!

Some stupid liberal will be around screwin everything up\n\nYou had me goin man when i read your question i was going to come up and tear you apart.  i like that one\n\nP.S. if anyone is tired of looking at bushes face you can get out of our country.  We are the best nation in the world and there are a lot of stupid libs out to screw that up for us

I think he's trying to do what's best for America. Is he going to be able to? I'm not sure.

If you look at all of the polls that the news media have conducted, the answer is that most Americans think that the administration is a joke.  I'm one of those people.  I don't believe that Bush will be considered as a "great president", not even a good one.  Both parties are trying to rally for the mid-term elections which means blowing smoke, as if they have ever really worked. So, on the whole, I would say that Americans are very unsatisfied with our current administration. By the way, if you want a real outlook on how Americans feel, check out Democracy Now! (the exclaimation is actually in the title, I'm not shouting)

he is doing the job he was elected to do, protect this country from its enemies.. no  president is perfect .. but the media / left wing  exaggerates  any mistakes  and   twists   the   truth   to its advantage to make Bush appear to be inept ... in reality   history will one show he was one of the best presidents we have had.peace in the US is divided by political alliances not  the individual people like it should be. when you become that dogmatic in your views  you become blind to the truth. peace with the rest of the world  depends on their views as well as ours,  we cant make people  who are so  fanatic in their religion like us . zealots  don't have room  in their ideology for other religions and views...

Actually, I think Bush's respect is at a record low now and will probably head even further south as he has set this country and much of the world on a horrible path that is going to take a long time to correct.\n\nThe needless thousands of deaths he has caused can never be forgiven or forgotten.

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.

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.
