How come people hear in America bash the president especially when Bush won by our votes?

Question

It seems like a majority of people dislike him now. I did not vote for him but I will support my country all the way
I know he has made a few boners but just try to live anywhere else.
I am an independant because politics have become too partisined.
If you love your country, support it! If you don't try somewhere else for a year and see how good it is here. No other country in the world has over indulgence like we do.

Answer 1

I agree with you. But since you live in America, you also must know that we are never happy. We need to b*tch about something all the time. This President makes it so easy for us to do it. No matter what people say, this country is a great place to live. Due to the greatness of this country, we also have the privillege of saying whatever things we like about our "great" leader.

One side note: It does not matter who the president is. America will alwasy b*tch about him or her.

Answer 2

Actually, there's no real certainty that the majority of the nation voted for him. Each state is awarded a specific number of electoral votes, so it is always possible that if a candidate manages to get a majority of electoral votes (through campaigning in certain major states like California) it would be possible for that candidate to actually be voted into office even though a majority of the voters in the US actually voted against him.

Of course, it would be prety tough for that to actually happen. A bigger question for Bush is the Florida absentee ballot issue. Quite odd, since his brother Jeb Bush is governor of that state, and in a way, quite frightening, because it ended up allowing a Supreme court Judge to decide who would be the President of the US. This bothers me especially, since the Supreme Court Judges are actually appointed by presidents.

As to why we bash the president, well, I'm a bit miffed that when troops in Afghanistan had Osama Bin Ladin completely surrounded, he called them out to invade Iraq, to prevent Saddam from blowing us away with weapons of Mass Destruction that we still haven't found. I would hope that he could have waited a week or so to catch Osama before invading a nation that's been a problem for us since the 70s.

I'm also a bit upset that he won't come out and tell us it's all for oil. I was on a Naval ship at the time, and exactly three days after they captured Hussein, we were called to escort the first legal tanker of oil out of Iraq. What really bothers me here is that Bush's family comes from an oil magnate history, and now gas prices are doubled what they were when they voted him into office.

also, I'm bothered that he vowed to send manned missions to the moon and Mars, but then cut funding from NASA so much that they can't even repair the Hubble telescope.

And of course, I also wish he had actually done something to benefit the poor, and such like.

In effect, we have a leader who constantly talks about being a christian, and having faith in god, but then he goes around and lies, hurts the poor, starts wars for no real reason, and generally makes every christian who voted for him look like a hypocrite.

First off, support for your country is patriotic. Blindly praising a man with no clue on what he is doing is exactly that, so don't twist words, be real. Second, I couldn't vote for him, I'm not old enough. As for the elections he won, due to research that I have done, not sitting in front of the boobtube watching FOX or CNN, he won the first election due to rigged ballots, and the only reason he got in office was he was put there by the Supreme Court, not the people. And by the way, at that time, there was nothing but Conservatives there, just as it is now, so there was a billionfold bias going on during the process. Finally, if I have to cheer him for doing nothing in Africa, in his own damn country, and not looking for the terrorist that attacked us or go to another country, then sign me up. At this rate, my best bet is Canada, because from what I see and what I know, the United States has a very grim future as of now...

Answer 4

Well actually I am from another country and do love the US. But it does not mean I love its leader. I didn't support the leaders in my country either at the time I left. Bush is an idiot who is lucky he does not have a son who could go to war - and when I can vote in less than 1 year, I will make my opinion count. Just like there are stupid reality shows watched by a large part of the population does not make it a good show for the rest of us. Same for the president. An idiot is an idiot is an idiot. Part of freedom is freedom of opinion.

Answer 5

He is constantly bashed by the media, Liberals, and Democrats. President Bush doesn't follow the polls nor does he try to please everyone. Instead, he does the job he was elected to do. This upsets the "left"... but makes me proud that he does his job and does it well.

The country, as a whole, will never support any man (or woman) that "walks the walk and talks the talk." President Bush seeks God's will for the United States through his daily prayers and his actions. God's will is not always the way man/woman wants it to be.

The atrocities, (9/11, Katrina) that have occurred since our president has taken office would challenge any leader. President Bush has stepped up to the plate and taken these challenges in the way God has led him. (Not necessarily the way many would have chosen.) I thank God, everyday, for a God fearing president.

He has lead the world in aid to Africa, he has appointed more minorities to the highest levels in government, he has increased spending on education, environment, social programs, Medicaid and drug plans and has extended tax cuts. The economy is still stable with low unemployment and moderate inflation.

And the war in Iraq has brought down an evil dictator, 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.

And now, our troops, our coalition, and the Iraqi police have brought down and killed the evil terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Unfortunately, the "leftist" and Liberals see nothing but negativity in our President. They 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.

This 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.

We are indeed fortunate and blessed to have President Bush as our leader at a time of great difficulty in our nation's history. My greatest fear, for the United States, is when President Bush is no longer our president.

God bless America, and God bless President Bush!

Answer 6

You don't need to like, agree with, or support the president to support the country. The country was built on public dissent and voicing your dislike for the President's policies is the most patriotic thing you could do, the best way to support the country. Why spread democracy around the world if all we're going to do at home is stifle public discourse?

Answer 7

I support the president. I also pray for him. No one is "perfect". Sure he's made some mistakes, but I can't imagine being in his position and having to make some of the calls he's had to make.

I agree with you. I am independent as well. And we are definately better off than countries all over the world, and people should be happier about that.

People always love to complain though. LOL

I wonder how many of the "complainers" voted?

Answer 8

If you love your country, you should do the right thing. Why should you support it if you know the president is making bad decisions? Criticism is good for our country because it keeps the president in line and it gives the signal to politicians that we care about our country. If we all just gave all our support to Bush, we might just as well be just a one-party government just like the other regimes out there.

Answer 9

Show me the absolute verifiable proof he won by popular vote and the electoral college should not exist! I do vote and have recognized for over the past 30 years of voting it is not legitimate and in-fact a total sham! This goes for every state that i have ever lived and voted in,and for the well connected whom partake in the so called election process for representative government at local,state and federal levels. Their may be many whom publicly say they are representing their constituents but end up being bought and sold for corporate structure's interest "thus" representing the wealthy only! I cringe when i here the politician's loosely use the terms "our Democracy"! As for promoting or looking elsewhere to live i say to the contrary, stand or fight if necessary for whats right in your native land majority rule not mob corporate rule!

Answer 10

He won two close elections, showing that about half the people have never liked him, and that half tends to show up as the more educated, more vocal half.

And we love our country, never say that we don't. It's not a matter of loving America. But telling us to blindly support a president who could be doing great evil in other countries or at home is just stupid. If you love your country you should be MORE watchful of your government, to ensure that they actually do what is in the best interest of its citizens - you.

Answer 11

There are plenty of countries that are run mor efficiently than ours. I don't support Bush becuase he lies, makes money for his friends. I want to get a leader who actually takes into concideration what the country's best interest is, and that hasn't happened with Bush. I don't care what party, or how much money they spend, I just want to see an honest politician. (which is an oxymoron) I don't think placing our country at war over a depleating natural resource is the way to go. Lets invest money towards other forms of fuel. Lets spend that money in other area's....
