You should really work on your grammar if you are going to be so supercilious.
But essentially, you are correct. Bush managed to fool some folks, and with the help of his handlers and his family, managed to get himself appointed president in 01.
I admire your gentle expressions of concern, but I am afraid you are being a bit Pollyanna here. Bush has done serious harm to the US - think back six years to what this nation was like pre-Bush.
Sherman, set the Wayback ....
In 2000, we had a booming economy, cheap gas, low unemployment, low taxes, we weren't invading anyplace (at least, no place we couldn't spell or find on a globe), we had two World Trade Center towers, we had about 5,000 more citizens and the rest of the planet didn't believe we were Nazi Germany or Imperial Rome reborn.
Bush and his cronies have used fear tactics ("Beware the Terror! Beware the Terror!) and manipulation to convince the simple-minded that all the ills we suffer are the fault of others - his predecessors, his enemies, traitors and bad people. In reality, the fault lies where it has always lain, in the lap of of the boss.
Wow, what a lot of damage one moronic tool of Corporate America can do to the nation in just five or six years.
I am sorry you don't want to be president, because frankly, even though you don't know how to capitalize or punctuate, you'd probably do a better job than Dubya.

What about the other guy... if Bush had lost his re-election, would you be following 'President' Kerry down the primrose lane without question? What makes this country great is the fact that you can denounce the President of the United States in open forum without worry of prejudice. There are probably things that we are not aware of that the president has to consider when making unpopular decisions. All we can do is feel comfortable that President Bush is doing the best he can at this time, that we can question his actions, and that we get to elect a new 'punching bag' in about two years. Who knows.... maybe the next president will be "The President". The one that everyone is happy with.

Well President Nixon was the one who ended Vietnam, yet another war that yet another democrat got us in to. President Bush is a better President than President Nixon was. He has done much more for this country. It is you who displays crass stupidity and needs to be more astute.

Only two other US Commanders have done comparable damage. In March, 1965, Lyndon Johnson made the horrific decision to escalate the war in Vietnam. In many ways, our nation has never recovered.
Then Richard Nixon, despite his “secret plan” to end it, prolonged that senseless disaster another seven years before the last American advisors escaped in disgrace from an embassy rooftop in downtown Saigon.
Ultimately, under leadership like that of George Bush, American troops are likely to suffer a similar fate when they finally flee Baghdad.
LBJ ducked a run for re-election, leaving office in disgrace. Richard Nixon became America’s first Commander in Chief to resign early.
After four years of ghastly failure, Bush should follow Nixon’s footsteps. He could retire to the toxic swamp he has created in downtown New Orleans. Or to a shelter in Baghdad, where he rains senseless death and destruction.
In any case, the war in Iraq reminds us that George W. Bush reigns supreme as America’s ultimate military flop!

Nixon was an arrogant power hungry a$$....Bush is a good ol' boy that says what he thinks, does was he feels is right, and stresses over very seriously decisions that must be made.....I suspect you never have lived in Texas.....you must understand the way they talk....it is just as he does...straight forward, up front...and honest feelings.....The may be wrong....and they will admit it.....Bush can not afford to admit it while in power....wait, he will right a book, and I bet he will admit some wrong thoughts and actions then.....

First of all, America has a history of taking sides in the wars other countries wage. We have to. As a major world power, other countries look to America and what America is doing. To stick our head in the sand and pretend we don't know what's going on? Come on man, think about it.

The Madness Of George W. Bush
George W. Bush is suffering from a peculiar but not that uncommon form of madness in which a pathological part of his psyche has co-opted all of the healthy parts into its service. An unknown condition, where ‘something’ has taken possession of a smaller or greater portion of the psyche and asserts its hateful and harmful existence undeterred by all our insight, reason, and energy, thereby proclaiming the power of the unconscious over the conscious mind, the sovereign power of possession. Bush has been taken over by an unconscious complex of the collective unconscious. We speak of a mother complex, or a father complex, but Bush has what we could call a savior complex. Inflated by the power, Bush is suffering from delusions of grandeur, and has become megalomaniacal. He is unconsciously identified with the archetype of the Messiah. Bush told an Amish group in 2004 that “God speaks through me.”
Bush imagines that God actually speaks to him as well; in 2003 he told Palestinian ministers that God told him to invade Iraq. “One should listen to the inner voice attentively, intelligently and critically, (Probate spiritus!) [test the spirits], because the voice one hears is the influxus divinus consisting, as the Acts of John aptly state, of “right” and “left” streams, i.e., of opposites. They have to be clearly separated so that their positive and negative aspects become visible.” John 4:1 says, “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God.”
Just because one hears an inner voice doesn’t necessarily mean it is the voice of God. Listened to uncritically, we could just as easily be seduced by the Devil. Bush has become inflated with an archetype of the collective unconscious, which is an expression of madness.
He has become identified with one side, the light, of an inherently two-sided polarity, and projects out the other, dark side, which he then tries to destroy. By shadow projecting in this manner, Bush has become possessed by the very evil he is projecting outside of himself.
This is to fall under the spell of the Devil, who is rightly called “the deceiver.” A clearer case of madness is hard to imagine.

Ok for the record, only 30% of America supports him but for that percentage you are correct.. .they play simon says.
This is why I try to be very careful to not say.. the USA is this or the USA is that... I always try to type.. Bush did this or BUsh did that... because 70% of America is not supportive of his actions.

I am sorry you feel this way.
Perhaps if you were President you would discover what President Bush already knows.
Best wishes and have fun but be safe.
