Why the Americans elected Bush as a president? Is it cuz Osama bin Laden had no bulletin?

Its Simple, if George Bush is Sidious, then he wouldve been the mastermind behind the 9-11 incident, off course then we have to assume tht Bin Laden is General Grievous. \n\nAs you can see how he won the elections anyway, with a Roaring success, and he is still in power, now he has turned his eyes to IRAQ. The only way for him to bring the US into power was thru war.Billions of dollars was used for weapons, the billions are being rolled up, its the only massive economic stabilizer for US, without war there is no weapons, no weapons no income, the US would be suffering in thier economy.

Of course! Don't forget than Osama Bin Laden was trained in the USA in the early 80's. The american government needed a motive to declare the so-called "war against terrorism". And to succeed that it sacrificed its own people...

Maybe he had an inkling about some terrorist activity, but I doubt he knew of the specifics, details, timings and such stuff.\n\nNo sane person would permit such a thing to happen, especially a president of a country, at least that's what common sense  reasoning tells me.\n\nUnfortunately, Bush is a man of about average or less than average intelligence,  and even if he did get some clues, he'd probably add em wrong like he did about Iraq's nukes. \n\nMaybe you Americans among the answerers' know more than I do about this.\n\nst

I think people gave way too much attention to Osama (which is most likely what he wanted). To answer the question though, I think both are the terrorists, Osama being the obvious one and Bush being the "cleverly hidden" one. I, for one, can't stand Bush or what he has done for this country. I feel since he has been the president he has accomplished little but taken away a lot from us, including family members, rights, and money. He has also made a lot of huge mistakes, ranging from his slow response to hurriance Katrina to his poor judgment on the war in Iraq.

Americans love success, the love to win and be right.\n\nThey don't like the fact they elected Bush, he has made a lot of bad decisions which means the American people having to admit they were wrong.\n\nWe Brits are diffrent, we're amazed when we are right.

Senior and Junior Bush should NEVER have become our Presidents: both were totally clueless on American social/economic issues. And both had azzclowns advise them on global/International issues as well.\n\nAnd what I find suspicious is BOTH have huge Rolodexes in Central Intellegence....and still: 9/11 was allowed to happen.

Bush did not run in this Election. It was not a Presidential election.  He cannot run in the next Presidential, because he is limited to 2 terms in office, and he is in his 2nd term now.

Red herring. This was 30 years ago and it doesn't explain why Osama hates the US now, or why Bush didn't go all out to find and kill him after he plotted the murder of thousands of Americans.

I know Bush is far from the best president, but could you imagine how Gore or Kerry would have reacted to 9/11? They'd have us singing hands across America.. begging forgiveness for our mistakes.  \n\nDon't forget the opportunities Clinton had to nab Bin Laden and prevent the loss of life on 9/11.  Bush inherited this problem and protected us from further attacks (we'll never know).

1.  Americans don't necessarily hate Mr. Bush; they hate his sick policies, both domestic and foreign.\n\n2.  People voted for Mr. Bush before it became apparent he was a cheating, lying, stinking, bombing fraud.  Oh, and a war criminal.  \n\n3.  Mr. Bush did not "win" either election - he was put in power by those who are actually in charge and trust me, it ain't us Americans...\n\n4.  God blesses good Patriots - of which I am one. (Patriots stand up for their country against a crooked government).

In an effort to make it look as if he was actually accomplishing something after the 9/11 attacks.  If we all remember correctly it was not Saddam Hussein who was instrumental in those attacks, but rather Osama bin Laden.  here we are 4.5 years into this and still no bin Laden.  All the emphasis is on Iraq.  When did Iraq came into this picture?  It's the classic bait and switch tactic used by so many con men prior to Bush.

Did you know that George Bush has been planning to invade Iraq since he was in college. He killed several Americans cuz he wanted revenage.\n\nOf course 9/11 was planned, what better way to start a presidency and try to make himself look good.\n\nThe World Trade Center was built to handle a plane crashing into it. The only damage a plane would do is maybe take out the top two levels of the building, not the whole thing. They had planted explosives in the basement of the World Trade Center and detonated them when the planes collided with the building. If the explosives werent in the basement then the towers would not of fell to pieces with just a plane hitting it.\n\nThey removed the scrapes from the rubble, which to us would be known as evidence cuz they didnt want us knowing the real truth of what really happend. If they kept the scrapes and ran tests on the metals, you would know that something else made the towers coming crashing down.\n\nBush's father was having a meeting with the Bin Ladens down the street the same day the World Trade Center went down. Bush's family is friends with the Bin Ladens. So his excuse for blaming Osma Bin Laden was a lame excuse.\n\nIt definately was a set up. One big conspiracy.

Because democrats couldnt produce a candidate with the jewels to step up to the issues that America faces.You dont have to be a genious for people to respect you.You have to follow through and lead.I love Bush for that. He could give half a cracker crumb what you or any other armchair politician thinks. And if hes such a menace then you tell me when the last succeful terroist attempt was in America.huh? Im listening(crickets chirping) Thats what I thought. Those soldiers signed up for it.If they are unprepared for battle then they should have stayed home with mommy.\nAnd for you muslim sympathists, get a freakin clue.

Yes, the first bush administration are the ones that trained Bin Laden and supplied them with arms. Then The US Government screwed them over.

First, Bush was elected in both terms under the rules of the Consitution whether people agree with it or not.\nTo get to your question now. How did he get elected to start with if Americans didn't feel he was fit for the job. It wouldn't have happened. Many Americans didn't feel Clinton was fit for the job, yet he was elected twice.\n9/11 changed things for many people. Bush took a stand to defend this country. That resonated with many people.\nThe other part is that the Democratic party has taken a trend further to the left of the political spectrum. That doesn't resonate with the majority of Americans. They also haven't really put up any plans except to say that Bush and the Republicans are wrong. If you don't give people an option, how can you expect to win them over. People respond to positives, not negatives.\nIf the Democrats are going to start winning more elections it's going to have to be by finding people who are more to the center and aren't just pretending to be more centrist contrary to their voting record.
