Did you ever think you'd have a president like Bush in your lifetime?

George Orwell thought we'd have one by 1984, it just came 16 years later.

Yes. I voted for him in my first presidential election and I do not regret doing it.

Yes I do! Bill Clinton was an awesome President for America. George Bush has destroyed everything Clinton got accomplished in 6 short years.

Popularity definately changes over time. While Clinton was president, he was greatly favored. He was intelligent and a wonderful speaker. Now, the majority [but not all] of society looks down upon the years of his presidency. In this sense, I think Bush will be praised in the future for his contribution to the American society. He DID quickly retaliate after 9/11 occurred, much like FDR did after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Within 6 months, troops were sent overseas. He has made foolish decisions, but he also has made intelligent ones. Because of this, I think Bush will be viewed as a good president in the future.

I think of my father. He was in the navy in WWII. He passed away in 2004. He was ill for a while before he died, I thanked him for fighting for the freedoms of America, Britton, France, etc.\n\nI also think about George Bush's arrogance. The fact that he is willing to break laws such as FISA. My father also felt that Bush Jr has a dictitorial streak. Bush Sr. would never have done this kind of stuff.

I loved Clinton. Our country was in much better shape when he was President. I mean think about it, if the worst thing Bush had done was lie about getting a #@%$&^#, don't you think America might be a bit better off than we are?

I have problems With President Bush, but I believe that he has gotten some bad advice and has surrounded himself with people who don't have the nation's best interest at heart.  I voted for him simply because I didn't want Kerry to become leader of the free world.  As for my vote, who knows, it might count, it might not.  I still vote with high hopes and low expectations.

I think that Bush has touted himself as a religious leader.  I feel that Bush can be viewed by anyone as anything, so yes, some do.  I think this is probably the worst thing that could happen.  God must have told him to invade Iraq.

While I have some concerns about some of the actions initiated by the President Bush (such as some elements of the Patriot Act) but by and large he is a dedicated and sincere President.\n\nI say this though I have never supported him in an election, but I make a distinction between such reservations and the blatant, unsubstantiated assertions made about the President.  I have no doubt that there are those who want a different president, that is obvious with the virulent yelling of hatred which is so often seen here.  However, I suggest that those who sincerely want a change that there should get involved with political actions which will lead to such change.  To do that is an act of a mature person.  To continue to scream hatred is childish and ineffectual.

He would have been a fantastic president!!\n\n1. He would have continued the PAY AS YOU GO system that Clinton used to balance, and keep balanced, the budget. (Bush got rid of that as soon as he came into office = deficits)\n\n2. He would have accepted the Taliban's offer to hand over B. Laden after 911; therefore, I doubt we would have ever had to even go into Afghanistan. (Note: not the offer made to Clinton. There was another offer after 911)\n\n3. If Saddam continued to give inspectors a hard time, Gore would have only invaded Iraq with support of the United Nations. BTW, the UN never said no but only to give inspectors 6 more months. \n\n4. He would have stayed with the Kyoto agreement thereby we would not have an environment that is going to hell. It would at least be recovering instead of getting worse.\n\nSo, if Gore had been elected, we would not be in a unilateral war, we would have a cleaner environment, our budget would be balanced = continued great economy from the 90s, B. Laden would have been punished for 911 already, 1000s of ppl would still be alive that have died from this war on both sides, and the rest of the world would not hate us.

It is possible, but highly unlikely this would happen.  There are thousands who would love to be president.  It is the American Dream to grow up and be president.

Yes i would, he's a powerful, intelligent speaker. To have an audience with him would be an honor in my eyes. Saw him when i was 14 in my home town St. Louis while he was president. Actually got to speak to him and shake his hand.
