Name 5 things the President has done that you think he's done well and 5 things you don't think done well.

Question

We are not politicians, so please lets all be partisian about this and answer honestly. If you are so extremist that you cant think of either then at least give it a try.

Answer 1

george bush never did anything good

Answer 2

Done Well:

Afganistan -- but he could have done more.
Iraq -- but he could have done more.


Done Poorly:

No-child-left-behind -- a really bad solution to something that is not even a federal problem.

Medicare Drugs -- not a federal problem and Medicares own numbers indicated that 86% of seniors had no problem paying for their own drugs.

Tax cuts for nobody -- out of a 30 Trillion dollar budget from years 2002-2012, George Bush managed to find a whopping 1.3 Trillion to cut -- but wait, he managed to deficit spend it in his first five years. This guy spends like a drunk democrat in a whorehouse.

Social Security Reform -- huge problems facing the post-boomers and he holds two town meetings and then gives up.

Farm & Highway Bills -- As said before, this guy spends like a drunk democrat in a whorehouse. As the leader of his party it is his responsibility to put some brakes on the runaway spending his congress is doing.

Stem Cells -- His worship of the fetus has prohibited federal funds from helping Parkinsons and Altzheimers patients. But he has no problem giving my tax dollars to just about every farmer, teacher or New Orleans crackhead he can find. If there is any justice in the universe, Bush will get the pleasure of watching his parents, or his wife, or his kids, suffer with a long Parkinsons illness before he dies.

Answer 4

Nicolas Raage, where are your 5 good tings and 5 bad things??

I think that the president has done these things extremely poorly:
-Going into the The Iraq War
-Not vetoing Stem Cell Research
-Getting Warrants
-Listening to Congress and the voices of the people he represents
-Working on the environment

He does the following things well:
-Rides his bike
-Takes vacations
-Looks like he's doing something in disaster areas
-Offers an easy mark for comedians, and therefore makes me laugh
-Although he rushes into things headlong and doesn't liosten to the best interests of the nation, you could say that he looks like he has security under control :D

Answer 5

OK...As honestly as I can, I'm not sure I can come up with the number of items you want in each category, but I'll try. In fact though I support the president, by number there are probably more items I'm not happy about than those I am. However those I do approve of I feel so strongly about that I feel on balance he has done a good job. So here goes:
DONE WELL
1. Took speedy and effective action against terrorists in Afghanistan, leading to the topling of the taliban rule.
2. Initiated a strong proactive war on terror world wide. I believe he acted reasonably and responsibly in ordering the invasion of Iraq considering the available intelligence. Despite strong disagreement from the left about the existence of WMD's in Iraq I believe that it has in fact been documented that sadam in fact HAD some...some have been found...others have been moved according to several sources ( I believe them) I will not go further in laying out all the arguments I feel warranted the Iraq invasion as you didn't ask for reasons supporting our opinions.
3. He nominated two very bright jurists to the supreme court who do not believe in legislating from the bench, who were successfully confirmed.
4. He has initiated policies promoting research into the development of alternative fuel sources (long overdue)
5. He continues to maintain a strong pro-life stance and led
congress to reject partial birth abortion.
6. He created the dept. of homeland security

Not done well
1. He has not done all he could and should to protect our borders
2. His proposals on illegal immigration are wrong...and amount to amnesty for those who enter the country illegally
3. He has not taken action to curb outsourcing of American jobs
4. He has not taken action to limit imports-levy tarriffs to provide American industry the ability to compete
5. Dubai ports

Answer 6

THINGS DONE WELL:
1. War in Afghanistan - well 1/2 right.
2. Election Fraud - how he got in office.
3.
4.
5.

NOT DONE WELL:
1. Response to the damage from Katrina
2. War in Iraq.
3. Spy Program - unwarranted wire taps, etc
4. Part D insurance in Medicare.
5. Tax Cuts for the rich
6. Stem Cell Research BONUS

Answer 7

Good:
1. Invasion of Afghanistan
2. Invasion of Iraq
3. Sticking to his morals regardless of the consequences (whether or not you agree with his views, you must give him credit for not being a bandwagon hopper like a lot of politicians)

Bad:
1. Not strict enough controlling the borders.
2. Providing $230 million to rebuild Lebanon (it's all going to end up benefiting Hezbollah in the end)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head!

Answer 8

Done well
1. Lied his way into office
2. Managed to put the deficit at an all time high.
3. Lied his way into the invasion of Iraq
4. Keeping his distance from Louisiana
5. Alienating the US with an ever-growing majority of the world.
Done poorly
1. He has no economic skills
2. A very poor diplomat
3. Caring for US citizens
4. Following Constitutional law
5. Doing anything that could lift his poor approval ratings out of the gutter.

Answer 9

Bush has successfully increased the power of the executive to levels never seen before in this country.

He increased government spending and the the size of government to levels also not seen since the ....well ever...

He has rolled by environmental protections to pre 1889 levels.

He has convinced the American people to support the invasion of another country wihtout any "real" pretext.


I kept it to one list...cause all his accomplishments are just wrong....

Answer 10

the only subject which could in all probability save this u . s . is to get rid of all of the cheats, liars, and degenerates in workplace now (it is approximately ninety 5% of our contemporary government), pick new truthful actual individuals (no longer company or specific interest paid for millionaires) and basically initiate new. it is the only way. needless to say it truly is probable unlikely to take place so according to threat we would desire to consistently all be calling Rosetta Stone and study to chat Mandarin chinese language.

Answer 11

only one thing good and that was the decision to retaliate. bad thing---not ending the war bush really is a poor decision maker but he has the gusto for power since he declared war on iraq, taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich. dipping into social security for financing the war and the fact he never did control his daughters while they were underage
