What has President George W. Bush done for you personally to make your life better since he has taken office?

Question

Just a question for the Bush supporters. And I know most answers will be "he has made us safer", but that's ridicilous and he's done just about the opposite. Thanks for answering!

You must be rich if you were effected by one of his tax cuts.

Dr Dee, I'm not the president of the United States and if that's the best you have, you shouldn't bother answering.

Haha, Randy C, you are blinded by your own ignorance. You think your children will be safer? The entire planet HATES US. How many Iraqi people have died since we have invaded their country? How many INNOCENT CIVILIANS have dies? They are on the brink of civil war. THIS IS GENOCIDE. Their country has been ripped to shreds, he is breeding terrorists. He's throwing gasoline on flames that are already hot as hell. Wow, this president's private life hasn't been exposed to the public, that's an amazing argurment. How much more do you make now then before? Please seek therapy or maybe an education.

We've been in Iraq for three years and 44596 have died. How long was Sadaam in power?

44596 civilians that is.

I'm not a liberal, bud. Your hatred for liberals blinds you. I'm just asking you to look past the fact that you make 10 dollars more on your paycheck than you did before. He's giving money to oil companies that are already raping us up the ***. Passing bills that GIVE the oil companies money.

Liberal, conservative, they're just labels they use to turn us against each other. Bush has caused more problems than he has fixed, anyone with access to a newspaper or a computer can figure that one out. I say, the hell with democrats, the hell with republicans. It's a two-headed coin with the exact same sides! We can do better, damn it. Whatever happened to the land of the free? We used to be peace keepers, not war mongerers!

WHERE ARE THESE GODLESS LIBERALS?? They are making us hate each other. Godless is taking someone you've never mets life for money and power. The "Project for a New American Century" people, look it up!

Answer 1

Meanwhile, the list of Bush-related failures is long and growing every day. Consider the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, the ongoing fallout from the Abu Ghraib/torture scandal, the CIA leak probe, Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination, the President's plan for Social Security, and the Tom DeLay scandal. More recently we have seen the implementation of Medicare's hopelessly complex prescription drug plan, a dollars-for-positive press in Iraq scandal, the smackdown of the Patriot Act, and a ridiculous proposal designed to address America's immigration problem, one that involves building a big wall, much like the one that surrounds the Green Zone in Baghdad. The President has even admitted authorizing a very un-American, and likely illegal, program that allows for spying on American citizens without a search warrant.Of course, this list is only the tip of the iceberg. Let's not forget about "big picture" problems like the skyrocketing national debt, the ever-increasing trade deficit, our high gasoline prices, the Administration's failure to even acknowledge the problem of global warming, not to mention the fact that anti-U.S. sentiment is at an all-time high.It's worth noting, however, that Bush could have come through this year looking a lot worse. But a generally inattentive and attention-deficit prone American public—not to mention that the fact that most of the mainstream media is controlled by corporate America—saves him from further indignity. Moreover, there have been so many failures on his watch that media coverage of each individual mistake/scandal/embarrassment is almost always superficial and short-lived. Even if the media wanted to do its job, it would not be capable of focusing on six or eight or ten or twenty failures at a time. As a result, Bush gets off easy on each individual issue.

Answer 2

If I had to scale his administration from a minus 10 to a plus 10 with zero being the starting point of the administration, I'd say from a personal standpoint, a minus 6. He seems to rob from Peter to pay Paul. Understand I'm not a liberal. I can't stand liberals but Bush has done nothing to prove to me that he has been worthy of the presidency. The United States is not a safer place and those who believe that are just fooling themselves. Taxes are out of control and health insurance is now for the wealthy only. Bush is causing the middle class to disappear. I wish I had an answer to this mess we call America. Having said this I still believe that our country is the greatest in the world.;

Answer 3

What does one opinion matter over an other? My opinion will never satisfy you as your opinion will never satisfy me. We all have felt an impact of the Bush administration. Some will feel a positive impact, some will feel it was negative. Some feel the war on terror and Iraq were positive as it showed terrorists and supporters of terror, that America will no longer tolerate terrorist acts here or abroad. I feel it is ridiculous to think that we are in greater danger now because of Bush. That danger has always been there but people never saw it or denied it existed until now.
What has GWB done for me? He helped me see another side of Americans I had never seen before. The godless and hateful liberals.

Answer 4

Obviously any answer that supports our leader will be trounced by you. My paycheck has increased by his tax cuts. I have 5 children and make $15 an hour. Is that rich? He has removed a dictator that had killed hundreds of thousands of people in his own country. He has taken the bull by the horns and has shown true leadership unlike our country has seen since JFK. I'm not ashamed of my president when my children see him on TV because he won't be speaking about how he didn't have sex with some poor starry eyed girl. Are we safer now? Absolutely not and that is to be expected at a time of war. If his objectives are followed through by the next administration will my children and grand children be safer? The answer is an emphatic yes and it is ignorant to think otherwise. Your hatred for this administration blinds you to any rational thought. I'm sure the DSM-14 will have an official diagnosis for your disorder in the next few years or so. Please seek therapy.
It is also apparent that the liberal leftist have no tolerance for those who wish to persivere. They are insistant on immediate gratification such as a drug addict is for his fix. To think the worlds problems could be simply fixed with an eight year president is like saying Rome was built overnight. Left wingers are going to stimulate the conservative base of this country. They sling there hatred for bush on TV and other medias meanwhile the Conservative base sits back and stews. Our method of displaying our displeasure is in the voting booth and this phenomenem will show up at the voting booth like the sunami in Indonesia. and it is going to vote like a sunami. You just don't get it. The left hasn't learned from their mistakes and are going to become extinct from the democratic party. No wonder they are for keeping certain species from victims of extinction.

Answer 5

Personally? Very little any president does affects us directly and personally, unless we're in the military or something like that. Most of their actions are filtered through so many levels of bureaucracy and government at all levels, that most things done in DC have very little personal effect - it is mostly a cumulative effect.

I have a lower tax rate. That's one specific example. [FYI, every taxpayer got a lower tax rate]

He also let the sillyass Assault Weapon Ban [all it did was prevent sale of guns with certain cosmetic features - folding stock, bayonet mount, etc - the same guns were still available without those] expire, so I can now buy bigger ammo cartidges for my weapons.

I wish that Congress hadn't been so worthless in supporting Bush's Social Security reform. That would have benefitted me and everybody else, personally. Now, I am resigned to kissing away 14% of my income on a socialist tax program.

Answer 6

Southpaw, he lowered taxes for the top 2% income bracket. He has no where near lowered taxes for ANYONE, let me repeat, ANYONE else. His administration lied about 9/11, lied about who did it, lied about all the details of it, lied about Iraq, lied about Afghanistan, put the Patriot Act into effect which takes away Constitutional rights, removed nearly all constraints and laws for big businesses and spied on his own people.

It would seem to me this country is the closest its been to corporate facism in its entire history.

So now I will tell you what Bush HAS done for us. He has shown us that we can say one thing and do another, he has shown us that unless we are rich we are negligible, gotten us into two wars that were lied about and cost this country billions of dollars in turn driving up the price of oil, he has shown us how to loose faith in our government, he has split the country on the same level as what happened during the Civil War, he pushes his "faith-based initiatives" on everyone even if they do not agree with it and he has caused the world to look at America in a very displeasing way.

But these people wanted to impeach Clinton for him getting a *******. They should study the history of the presidents. What they may find would be appauling.

Answer 7

He managed to make the world - not just America - less secure and made the gas prices go oh so up, to a point I would never have believed before he took office (and the books still talk about some oil crisis back in 73... *sigh*), indirectly causing a general rise in inflation, taxes and interests. For that I believe he deserves a medal!

Answer 8

Not a thing and I agree he has made the whole world an unsafe place to be right now. We need to vote him out of office or impeach him

Answer 9

i am not an american but i suggest all u people.if u like it u may follow it.

select some one who really loves america and who loves peace and who does not involves in other countries affair

Answer 10

How about absolutely nothing. My life would be exactly the same this very moment if he had never been in office.
