I don't think people realize that it could be much worse. If Kerry had won, the war would be here on our soil, not over in that third world **** hole Iraq. Bush is doing the best he can given the circumstances.

I believe that being President is a very difficult job and some people walk into that office and do a great job and others walk in and things seem to go very badly for them. It is an unexplainable part of the oval office. When you look back over history, you see Presidents from both parties who were loved by the nation and did a wonderful job with the economy and with diplomacy and then you see Presidents who struggle the whole time like President Carter. I dont believe there will ever be an explanation as to why some do so well and others do terribly but President Bush will be listed in History as a President who did not do very well during his term and the amazing part is he got more than one term. Most poorly performing Presidents get one term and then get sent home, but for some reason he was given a second chance and again proved he could not do well. This is the part that concerns me as a voter and a student of the Political system. Why would a nation re elect a President that they overwhelmingly disapprove of?

Kerry would certainly be worst but Bush is not good either. Actually, Bush has invited war. May be its only a matter of time to reach to the soil. And its not necessary that Iraq brings that war to the soil, may be its Bush own (so called) friends also.

Bush's performance has nothing to do with what Kerry would have done. I think kerry would have been awful under these circumstances but that is irrelevant to what I think about Bush. I think he made the right decision to invade Iraq but I think it was executed very poorly and the responsibility for that lies with him. I also think that the Bush administrations constant disregard for civil liberties is a major mistake. I dont think Bush has done the best job possible in the circumstances and I think we will pay for that for a long time. Would Kerry have been worse, I think so but who knows. But like I said that is irrelevant to Bush's performance. It is a pretty sad state of affairs when the best way to defend our president is to say that the other guy would have been worse.

He is doing a good job, considering all of the shitt he inherited from the previous administration and the 9/11 attacks etc..If Kerry would wave won, we would be up to our asses in terrorists on our own soil right now.The terrorists were hoping Kerry would win the election.

The people that feel he is doing a bad job, and I assume you mean the handling of Iraq, feel that way because President Bush is fighting the War on Terror. ANYTHING he does along those lines will piss them off.
Kerry would not have continued to fight against the terrorists and would have pulled out of Iraq and tried to show the world that America is nice and not at all mean like President Bush would have you believe.

Well, when he took office we had an estimated surplus of $5 billion, now we have a deficit of the same amount.
A vast majority of the world hates America now, even more than before he took office. He completely wasted the opportunity to foster better relations with many countries through the sympathy they had for us after 9/11.
He has put hacks such as Michael Brown (former head of FEMA) into key positions.
He has surrounded himself with a staff who insulates him from the real world and filter the info given to him.
He fostered an atmosphere where the Intelligence Community had to manipulate intelligence to bolster support for the invasion of Iraq.
Iraq is a hellhole, with brave soldiers being killed and maimed everyday. No exit strategy in sight.
He blatantly ignores laws which he disagrees with in order to carry out his agenda.
His disapproval rating was at a record low until the UK fortuitously arrested terror suspects a few weeks ago, which has given him a temporary bounce.
Enough examples?

you might be able to say bush is doing a good job compared to what kerry would have done, but bush is doing a bad job overall. and we really can't know what would have happened if kerry won.

Under the circumstances? Bush MADE those circumstances. Kerry is an Idiot, we would still be in Iraq nothing would be different.

Even the loud-mouths who hate Bush know that he's a much better man than Kerry will ever be.

Uh No, Kerry supported overthrowing Saddam, (which we had no reason too) we would've been out after Saddam was done, because he has no ties to the oil industry, and no daddy to avenge... THere would be no war here... What the **** are you talking about... Bush is doing a crappy job... OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!
