816748
I support my president and his policy decisions given the war we are fighting.  He said in the beginning this would be a long hard fight against terrorism, I listened and understood

This question is too vague.\n\nObviously you do not like our current president.\n\nI voted for George W. Bush twice and think he is a wonderful president.

I voted for bush the first time too. I wish I hadn't...I don't understand how republicans can't see how much damage bush has done to the economy, our world-image, etc.

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.

I think you'll find that it's only Americans who are big fans of George Bush. Europeans still can't believe he was re-elected. We think it's hilarious.

Some interesting answers so far. It's obvious that feelings toward Bush are either extremely pro or extremely con. I don't find that surprising considering who he replaced. The country was extreme in its feelings towards Clinton too.\n\nObviously, it will be years before historians can judge him objectively, but I personally believe that Bush will be listed among the very good presidents in history.\n\nWe are going through a very difficult time in our country's history. The consequences of mishandling our enemies are huge. I believe he's handled them fairly well. I also believe that those who disagree underestimate the hatred our enemies have for us. And those who blame that hatred on Bush simply don't know history. The attacks started decades ago.

Feel bad?  No, I don't feel bad when people I don't know and have never met hate me.  I didn't vote for Bush and I don't like him very much, but most of what people abroad think about Americans is completely unfounded and untrue.  I've lived in three different countries in the past four years and everywhere it's always the same story propagated by whoever gives the people their information.  I just don't listen anymore, nobody would.\nAs for helping third world countries, we give as much, if not more aid than other Western countries.  Nationalized healthcare is not something most Americans want (we are not a socialist nation).  As far as "weapons and stuff", I don't think you need me to tell you that 9/11 changed the world.  American leaders are now taking big steps to ensure that will never happen again.  There is only one sure way to fight someone shooting a gun at you- shoot them first.  Primitive- yes, but then we've still a long way to go towards civilization, don't we?

I really wish you guys would stop crying over Bush.  He has nothing to even do with this question.  \n\nThe person asking the question is asking why Americans (YOU! if you live here) are not fighting for what "WE" complain about.\n\nTo answer this question I would have to say we are fighting for what we complain about.  Remember "War on terrorist"?  War in Iraq?  Better borders? and many other things.

George Bush Jr. for me....Ready to head to war even before 9-11...fiscal irresponsibility....too many disturbing images of hugging and kissing the members of the royal house of Saud...\n\nAnd, in my lifetime..I have never seen the country so extremely divided....\n\nBush claimed to want to "heal" our nation...but it has been split down the middle..and the two side are drifting farther and farther apart....\n\nAlso, when reviewing his first 4 years..and asked if he made any mistakes...or could have done anything differently or better...he replied "Nope."

I do not. I am an American and DO NOT like him, whatsoever.

President Bush is a wonderful president! And you are wrong in the polls...the latest polls show a 40% rating. 82% percent of this poll are Republicans. Now I will tell you why I totally respect our president.... I hope I don't leave anything out!!\n\n1. Low unemployment (5.3 million new jobs)\n2. Excellent growth. \n3. Low inflation (under 3% ... In spite of gas prices)\n4. Low interest rates. \n5. Bush has given tax breaks back to the working class.\n6. Has lead the world in aid to Africa.\n7. He has appointed more minorities to the highest levels in government.\n8. He has increased spending on education, environment, social programs, Medicaid and drug plans.\n9. He has extended tax cuts. \n10.The economy is still stable in spite of the war and Katrina.\n\nAnd:\n\nHe has restored our moral values. He relies on God for guidance in his decision making. (His ethics and moral values are those seen of Godly men.)\nHe cares enough to try to make this country a better and safer place?\nHe openly asks for solutions from both parties. (but because of their political agendas would rather his polices fail then for them to work as a team to better this country.)\n\nAnd the war in Iraq has brought down an evil dictator, Saddam, and freed the Iraqis to begin a new government. They now have a Prime Minister and a full Cabinet, and have established their own Constitution. They have soldiers in training and a police force. And the Iraqis are thankful to our troops for their help and support in all these things.\n\nAnd now, our troops, our coalition, and the Iraqi police have brought down and killed the evil terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Since his death, many raids (400+) and many documents and have lead to the capture of other terrorist.\n\nPresident Bush has accomplished much... In spite of bashing from the media and the left...\n\nUnfortunately, the "leftist" and Liberals will see nothing but negativity in our President. They will continue to make fun of his way of talking, the way he looks, the way he walks, and never give him any credit for any of the good he has done. \n\nThis bashing and disrespect is sad that they choose to do this instead of supporting him. However, President Bush will just continue doing the job he was elected to do, inspite of them.

Of course he means well. He is not perfect, I am sure he didn't just decide to try to mess things up so america would hate him. WHich is why I 100% support him, because he is human, and I know he is a good person, so he should be given the benefit of the doubt. His terms as president habe been rough, and alot has been accomplished, and he has had alot to deal with during his presidency...he has done a good job, i think.

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.

Hi, I am an Englishman and never visited the States. I suppose like many people I would have to say that I have had mixed feelings about the USA. Most of the information regarding world events etc comes via the media and does not I think always give the most unbiased opinion. Not just in political events. We all see popular shows like Oprah and this without doubt has a profoundly negative effect. We see in the main what can only be described as weirdos and have to wonder if these strange selfish people are indicative of the country as a whole.\nHigh consumers, irresponsible ecological attitude and a me, me, me mind set.\nAll sounds horrible doesn't it? Thankfully there is the Internet where over the past couple of years I have made some excellent friends who have illustrated that there is a far more caring and unselfish, generous aspect to many of the citizens of the US than I previously thought. \nMy country and yours have been strong allies both economically and in time of conflict and shared a whole lot together. I personally hope that this will always be the case.\nWho knows what may happen in Iraq, North Korea and the rest of the world. But I believe that in the main (although always influenced by oil) The forces currently in Iraq are trying extremely hard to bring about stability. If they were only allowed to do so, your country and mine could bring our troops home. The sooner the better.\nIn a nut shell I am pro American. OK?

First and foremost, I am "for" the United States.  I am sick and tired of the partisan bickering.  I support our President wholeheartedly, which doesn't necessarily mean I agree with absolutely everything he does, but he has my respect and support.  Bush is a decent man. Kerry, on the other hand, is an egg sucking dog.
