For example: energy, Iraq, the economy, lies about justification for the Iraq invasion.... etc.

Because they believe what they hear on Fox news and are too lazy to actually look things up and find the truth.

I think you need to claify your question....one you start off ok, but then its obvious you are only fishing for answers that will blame Bush or his administration....now in saying that do you want the truth...i hope so....for one no one person is to blame for all the ills of this nation, nor is one person to blame for the war....remember the democrats voted overwhelming for it, the 'lies about justification for the iraq invasion' please get your facts really straight on this one, bush was in office 8 months when we were attacked on 9/11, there were other attacks previous to his being in office..the world trade center to name one...but in saying that what about the intel info he got from the democratic administration before him, what about the fact that that same administration passed a law saying the intel sources could not be shared amongst the intel community....bush and his advisiors based their decision to invade iraq based on tainted and inaccurate intel gleaned over clinton's administration....the economy....where are you living?...we have the lowest interest rates, the lowest unemployment and the highest consumer spending in decades....the gas prices blame that one on the big oil companies, they should be held accountable although i would like to the how those that said we were going to war for oil explains the high prices too. as for energy...look it up cause you won't find it in the mainstream media but this administration has done more to promote green energy than any other administration thus far...they had earmarked more funding for research and promotion....now whether or not the funding is used by the states and organizations for what its intended for is another thing all together....bottom line before you go pointing fingers at one person or group of persons to place blame know the facts, if you don't then find them out, not the 'facts' spewed out on the liberal and/or conservative news shows but the real facts...it will take some research on your part to want to find out the real truth....but in the end isn't it really all about the truth rather than hating someone and trying to find anything to prove them wrong to promote an agenda.

What can you do? Shoot/impeach him? Then you got Cheney - who is really running things.
Nominate/Elect someone better next time.
-----------------
dixi is quite correct. When it comes to manipulating political/military decisions to boost the price of oil/gas, the guy has helped his corporate buddies immensely.
----------------------
hellinahandbasket - oh please. The main reason unemployment is so low is because many who have been out of work for so long have given up trying to find jobs
How you can praise an economy in which the price of gas has doubled while salaries/income remain largely static is beyond me. Further, under Feuhrer bush, we have seen the 3 largest annual budget deficits in US history. His wild deficit spending while also cutting taxes for the rich and corporations has caused his Republican Congress to have to take a special vote to raise the ceiling on the national debt too NINE TRILLION DOLLARS!!!! That's $30 k apiece for everyone here legally and a real time fact.
It has also been established that Cheney set up his own intelligence think tank in the W House, separate from the CIA, and culled only the info and answers the admin. wanted to hear. And when that wasn't good enough, they resorted to scare tactics (NUkes in Iraq being sent to NYC), uranium being purchased by Iraq in Nigeria, mythical vast pools of WMD scattered throughout Iraq - vialble ones, not inert, rusting remnants from the arly 90s..

What do you mean by "AMERICANS"... Americans are all those people that live from Canada all the way down to Chile. As you might have notice America is the name of the whole continent..you know. It's funny to see how people from the US uses the word "American" to describe themselves...lol... In Spanish we do have a name for people from the US.."Estado Unidenses" which means people from "Estados Unidos" (United States) The rest of us Americans do have a name for example:
I am Peruvian because I come from Peru
People from Mexico: Mexicans
People from Cuba: Cubans, and so on
----------------------------
North America, Central America,Caribe,South America= America

They are very apathetic about it all because the Republicans have pulled the oldest trick in the book: Say a lot of untruth. Say a lot of untruth over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until people don't know what to think anymore. Then say more untruth until people don't trust themselves to see things for what they really are. Then use fear(pushing issues like national security) to get people to be afraid to disagree with what you say is right for the country until they are just so overwhelmed they would rather not think about matters anymore.

I don't believe most are apathetic. I know a large majority of people who would love nothing more than to see him out of office; especially those that didn't vote for him the first time he stole the election.... we are working to get him out but unfortunately it's not that easy.

Apathy has nothing to do with it. Their just numb. We as a people can do nothing about how the government screws with us.
The Billions, yes Billions, that has been pork barreled, and pocketed by our government officials is deplorable.

That's YOUR opinion, that's why...not everyone feels that everything he's done is a failure, get off of your high horse already.

They are not apathetic, they are retarded. They don't know he's a liar because they don't know what's going on.
