George W. Bush: any opinions?

He's an EMBARASSMENT to the United States of America.\nBy far the WORST PRESIDENT in U.S. History/\n\nMy grandfather is 80 years old, and swears that if he was given 2 days to live, he'd march his a*s  over to the white house, and shoot Bush's face off. Heh, he really dislikes Bush.\n\nBARRACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

Gosh, some of you have given really good answers...especially that it is an insult to the monkey to be compared to Bush! You all must read this if you haven't already, its too good!:\n(i am just giving bits and pieces, you'll find the whole thing on the website below)\n\nGeorge W. Bush is the 43rd President* of the United States of America. He brings a whole lifetime's experience of having sprung from the loins of a long line of entitled millionaire politicians. During high school at wildly expensive, but in no way "elitist" Philips Andover Academy, Bush eschewed the effeminacy of reading and study to throw himself more fully into the giddy world of male cheerleading. despite having been rejected from the University of Texas Law School, Bush matriculated at the less selective Harvard Business School, whose wizened administrators were capable of setting aside their egregiously discriminatory affirmative action program to mine the alumni gold buried deep within His C-strewn Yale transcript. Bush would earn His M.B.A. in 1975, at which time He would joyously bid His final farewell to the stifling, sissyish halls of the Ivy League. After ten booze-soaked years at citadels of preppy privilege, so potent was your CEO's distaste for the preening East Coast arrogance of tweed-wearing, womanish academics, He repudiated them by vowing to devote the rest of His life to speaking in a charming accent picked up while watching Roy Rogers films and a touring company production of L'il Abner. \nReturning to Texas, Bush spent the next fifteen years getting to know American voters by listening to their urgent, if somewhat slurred, concerns, as delivered from orange velour barstools in many of Houston's most troubled honkytonks. Flush with millions in wholly fortuitous, non-insider profits, Bush reveled for several years in His dream job as General Manager of the Texas Rangers baseball franchise. Then in 1994, Bush ran for and was elected Governor of Texas, narrowly defeating the suspiciously mannish and brassy Democratic incumbent Ann Richards, who once brazenly taunted Bush's father during a telecast of the 1988 Democratic National Convention. ........

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.

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 really like President Bush. I don't agree with all of his decisions, but I think he is a wise, Godly man who is a good leader. People claim that he is an awful president, but no one ever likes the president. People had problems with Clinton and every president before him. I am sure if some of these people who criticize Bush would have people that didn't like them if they ran the country. Electing a president is more or less electing the person who will get the blame. Running the most powerful nation in the world can't be a day at the beach....

Lemme see now...\n\n1. The election impropriety that led to George Bush non-elect.\n\n2. The ridiculous squandering of an opportunity to sew the country together in glorious union that 9/11 presented. I mean, come on, any idiot can make speech after speech about 'the axis of evil' and not really do anything positive. And then fail to catch the bad guy. I'm not even going to mention those seven minutes.\n\n3. The ridiculous 5-minute wonder that was the 'Afghanistan War' and the lack of any clean-up afterwards. I hear we'll be bombing Afghanistan again real soon... lovely.\n\n4. The illegal, unconstitutional 'war' that is being waged on innocent Iraquis. This conflict has created more terrorists than any number that have been captured. And securing random muslims in Guantanamo is no solution to the terrorist problem.\n\n5. The election impropriety that led to George Bush non-elect for a second term.\n\n6. The Tsunami Joke. How does it feel to be the last country to step up to the international aid plate, and then make a paltry contribution? After other countries made their pledges for hundreds of millions of dollars, strangely Bush upped the ante. For three days he was apparently distracted with "more important matters" (bombing innocent people), so the little Tsunami problem took a back seat.\n\n7. The Katrina Fiasco. Bush acted like an ass for three days (even flying right over Louisiana to get to San Diego) before making some platitudes. He's not Jesus and the thousands that died are not Lazarus. Of course it was all pretty much over before Bush touched down in New Orleans.\n\n8. Bush's constant refusal to honor the Constitution is the final straw for me. How can decent citizens be expected not to break the law when the 'man' at the top cannot even do that? Apparently, your privacy doesn't matter.\n\n9. Reducing taxes for the rich while claiming that Social Security is on the brink of bankruptcy. Um... guess where the money for Social Security traditionally comes from..!\n\n10. My favorite one is the fact that we have a serious intelligence gap where Iran is concerned. Can you guess who was responsible for the team that was embedded in Iran and responsible for practically ALL Iran intelligence... none other than Valerie Plame. Now it hasn't been proven out-right that Bush gave the order to oust her, but I'm convinced he knew about it. At any rate, Cheney did.\n\nThere's loads more, I just don't have the time or the patience right now. I just want to meet one of the 30% of people that still care if Bush gets out of bed in the morning... so I can punch them in the face.\n\nOverall, these guys are all too quick to send our boys into battle, yet not one of them have any (real) military experience. The Neo-Cons are trying to run the country like a dictatorship and it all smells too familiar to me (Fascism).\n\nBush couldn't run an oil company, and he couldn't even run a baseball team, so why did anyone think he could run a country? Al Gore would have made a far better president. It's just that there were too many people obsessed with Clinton's cigars and too ready to believe the Neo-Con Echo Chamber of lies about Gore. This country is now either, 1. hated, or 2. a laughing stock around the world. The shame is knee high and it's going to take a great man or woman (that excludes Hillary) to get us out of this doo-doo.\n\nIf Bush enacted a law and pulled through another illegal election I am quite sure that an assassination attempt would be on the cards. I don't espouse violence so this is not an endorsement of any such assassination. Besides, I want him to live to see the terrible press he gets in the history books. It will be hard to live down the title of, "Worst President (In The World) Ever."\n\n--\nsf

Better than what or who? \n\nEach President faces a unique set of challenges in unique times and in many ways it is impossible to compare them.  President Bush is clearly dislike by some people almost to the point of being an obsession.  Is this dislike based on reliable facts?  It doesn’t appear to that it is.  And yet there are concerns about some of his actions.\n\nHe is doing what has to be done as President and that is, trying to protect the country from the multiple attacks it has received.  That he is doing things that might be considered by some as extra-constitutional, is true.  However, he is not the first president to do so and is far from the worse.

I do.  I don't understand why 80+% of people thought he was a good president when we were going to war and dealing with terrorism and now half of the population has decided he shouldn't have gone.  Where's the consistency?  I guess popular opinion is fickle and that's why I support Bush, because he doesn't just base his decisions on popular opinion.

I don't feel safe at all with GW Bush as president.  When his term ends I'm not sure if he'd even be willing to leave office without having done something momentous to be remembered by.  He's done unorthodox stuff in the past.  How unorthodox will he get?\n\nFor a president, Bush is quite unusual.  He's allowed more money to be borrowed than any other president.  He's the only president in the 20th century not to win the popular vote in a presidential election.  And he's the first president to invade a sovreign country.  \n\nBush has been given the ability to end the world as we know it.  He's got "the football" no more than 10 feet away from him at any time.  This football has the capability of launching a nuclear "first strike" against pretty much anyone.  Will he want to be remembered as the one who put an end to countries that didn't conform to him.  Or will God tell President Bush to launch a nuclear strike against someone?  Remember, God told Bush to invade Iraq and Afganistan.

Bush is one of the best presidents ever!!! A very good man. True he is not right about everything but who is. He is doing great under the circumstances. The media totally misrepresents him.

I don't agree with everything he's done, especially in this second term, but I support him and respect the fact that he's our President.  I believe that whatever you may think of the person holding it, we should always respect the office of the Presidency.  This was difficult for me during the Clinton years, I'll admit, but he was still our President and got my respect for that, though certainly not my admiration.\n\nIt's one thing to disagree with the President's policy, politics, etc. and to voice your dissent.  That's part of what being American is all about.  But when you go beyond that and get into mean-spirited personal attacks, smear tactics, etc. I believe that that's just disgraceful and reflects poorly on those who do it.  I'm certainly not proud of conservatives who attacked Clinton this way, and I'm quite disgusted with liberals who do this to Bush.  They're not hard to find either - you'll find them all over this site.
