Well, he and his staff were a major reason we started a war on false pretenses (never mind that we thought they were good reasons, it's the people in charge whose job it is to figure out what's real and what's not) and refuses to acknowledge the mess that it is or outline a real plan for success. Personally I think success became impossible the instant Iraq adopted a Constitution based on Islamic Law instead of on the principles of equality for all and religious tolerance.
He's vetoed the stem cell funding which would open up new embryonic stem cell lines from embryos that were about to be burned anyway. This is causing our best researchers to leave for different countries which aren't so asanine. His justification? We should not create life just to destroy it (even though it was about to be destroyed anyway, and which also means we should be outlawing all agrigulture).
After pledging to reduce the deficit, he passed major tax cuts, mostly for the rich, and increased spending like mad. In 6 years went from government surplus to the biggest deficits in history, weakening the dollar and raising the danger of inflation and a stagnating economy.
He's so pro-israel that the USA has lost all credibilty as impartial peace maker in the middle east, such that Europe had to broker the deal between Israel and Lebanon.
He's so religious it's sickening, and advocates teaching of Intelligent Design in biology classes. He doesn't read reports, preferring instead to rely on verbal briefings and then making a decision based on how confident the messenger of the brief is. Oh, and he asks God about policy decisions and then acts according to the answers he gets from the voices in his head, instead of analyzing the facts and making decisions based on those.
He separates the entire world into Good vs Evil, not acknowledging that world politics are much more dynamic and not simply black and white. This alienates a lot of potential allies.
He doesn't veto anything (exception stem cell research), rather, he uses line item vetoes which allows him to modify laws as they are passed. This is a clear violation of separation of powers in the Constitution. He consistently asserts more and more power, justifying it in the name of "security" and "the war on terror", while we provide sensitive nuclear technical know-how to pakistan.
That about sums it up, for me. Oh, and I think he's a moron, but that's a matter of opinion.

Because he knows he wields a great deal of power, but does not see the responsibility that comes with it (sorry Stan Lee). Like the climate change thing, the goon stifled a report saying that global warming, directlylinked to pollution, was knocking down the homes of US citizens in Alaska, because he thought it might affect his reelection campaign. Damn right! But you know, the poor people eking out a survival in the Alaskan snow aren't white, they're native American, and nobody seems to give a crap about them, Mr Bush included. He strip mines, cares more about economics than the asthmatic children in Texas, which incidentally, if it were a country would have the worst air pollution in the world, and be the world's worst for hazardous air pollution, and because he supports the idea that Christianity is the best religion and that's what America should be. He cares not about poor people, the world as a whole, or anyone or anything else not lining his pockets, so in agreement with the person you gave best answer last time, he's an a$$hole. But, sadly, he's not the only one. I am sure Halliburton will keep churning out more a$$holes to replace him.

right it is the version Clinton hear to his secretary of protection!!! He did no longer circulate to warfare with Iraq! He did no longer ruin it so we did no longer ought to restoration it. He did no longer supply Haliburnton the no bid settlement!!! don't get me incorrect Clinton had his flaw yet never shape or type is he to blame for Iraq!! further greater attempting to ensure a central authority the place one isn't needed. you could deliver a horse to water yet won't be able to make him drink. in simple terms because of the fact we as American love our constition would not propose Iraqi's might even decide for to have one among their very very own.

The question never got answered because with a question that asks if there are ninjas on here, people probably didn't think you would comprehend such an intelligent coversation. Now you know how it feels to have someone answer a simple question with a nasty answer.......maybe you should be nicer to people!

way to go 'plus fute g' I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TOP CLASS ANSWER!
My answer is 1 among the many you gave.
It is a foolish son who steps over the grounds where his father fears to thread. Bush did not heed the wisdom of his father hence the mess he created all over the world.
Bush senior carried out the UN mandate to the letter, drove the Iraqi's back and halted at their border as required by the UN mandate. A wise man who respected the rest of the world.

He gave tax cuts to the wealthy, while not even acknowledging the devastation happening in New Orleans for the first week of hurricane Katrina. He lied about WMDs & got us into this quagmire in the middle east (with no hope of getting out anytime soon).He let Osama Bin Laden slip through the cracks in Tora Bora.The US economy is in the pits. Gas prices are STILL1.5 times as high as they were when he took office.He won't sign the global warming treaty, but will give $6000.00 tax credits to people driving HUMMERS.He won't allow stem cell research on embryos that will be discarded anyway, because it is "immoral", but as governor of Texas, executed more people than any other American in history. I could go on and on, but unlike him, I have to work for a living.

I'll give an example. In Katrina. Took him over 5 days to go and visit New Orleans!! When he should be there the second day, send help, (which he did not do). Send troops. The troops showed in carrying rifles. It was New Orleans Not Iraq!!

Didn't seal the southern border and didn't wipe out the Sunni triangle which would have saved us all of the problems going on in Iraq. Outside of that he's doing a fine job.
