First, they fixed the intelligence and facts to further their agenda for war. Then they punished patriotic public servants who disagreed with them, including Gen. Eric K. Shinseki; Paul H. O'Neill, the former Treasury secretary; and Richard A. Clarke, a former counterterrorism official.
Then they attacked Iraq without provocation, killing tens of thousands of people who did us no harm and posed us no danger.
Finally, in violation of signed treaties and contrary to long-held values, they besmirched the moral authority of our country by approving, justifying and carrying out torture.
Not since the days of Richard M. Nixon has the White House been in the hands of such dishonorable people.

People keep asking what Bush has done wrong as president. Let's review:
Bush swore an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution. He has sponsored and signed laws that violate Articles I (denial of Habeas Corpus), IV (denial of Full Faith and Credit), VI (abrogation of the Supremacy Clause), and the 4th (illegal searches and seizures), 5th (lack of due process), 6th (denial of counsel, denial of access to courts), and 8th (no torture) Amendments. He has ordered actions that have violated Articles I (abrogation of Presentment and Bicameral Clauses), III (rejection of judicial authority of federal courts), IV (denial of Privileges and Immunities Clause), and the 1st (breach of Establishment Clause, denial of Freedom of Association, denial of Right to Petition), 4th (illegal searches and seizures), 5th (denial of Due Process, improper Takings, refusal to follow Grand Jury requirements), 6th (denial of counsel, abrogation of Confrontation Clause, denial of public trial), and 8th (no torture) Amendments. He refers to the Constitution as "just a g*d*mn piece of paper". This is failure to support and defend the Constitution, which is a betrayal of his oath of office.
Bush swore an oath of office to ensure that the laws of this nation were faithfully executed. He has put into place 800 signing statements, the vast majority of which assert that he does not intend to follow or enforce a particular law if he doesn't want to. He has lied to Congress about those signing statements, which is a violation of federal law. He has ordered illegal warrantless wiretapping in violation of FISA and Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control Act (18 USC 2511). He has committed actions our own laws clearly define as war crimes (18 USC 2441). He has willfully violated federal law thousands upon thousands of times, by his own admission and according to findings of the US Supreme Court. This is failure to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed, which is a betrayal of his oath of office.
That's just what he's admitted doing, and what the Supreme Court has determined he's done.
Article II Section 4. "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

Are you high! I think you may have forgotten that 95% of congress supported going to war. When the going gets tough the cowards start to run for cover. The simple truth is it will be decades before we know if the Middle East will be better off because of this war or worse. If anyone is failing America it's people like you that just bash Bush instead of getting behind the decision we made as a country and finish the job.

This one hasn't honestly committed any crimes, yet once you recommend scandals then he's amazingly some distance down on the record. the suited 5: Ulysses S. grant: Crédit Mobilier & the Whiskey Ring Warren Harding: Teapot Dome Richard Nixon: Watergate Ronald Reagan: Iran-Contra invoice Clinton: Whitewater, Paula Jones, and Monica Lewinsky of those, purely 2 presidents honestly committed crimes themselves. Nixon (conspiracy, suborning perjury, et al), and Clinton (mendacity below oath).

We must always remember our founders thoughts (from the declaration:')
-When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...
the Iraq people need to determine their own future, not one decided in Washington...out of Iraq now...it's the patriotic thing to do...Thomas Jefferson would be proud!

George W. Bush is a moran. He should be impeached, and tried, and convicted of high treason of the United States of America.

.I do agree with one comment which is you are not pledging allegiance to Bush. Thank you to the answerer "coragryth" for your intelligent response. There are still many blinded people out there and those of us who aren't appreciate someone who can put it in its place.

No, Bush hasn't failed and no he has committed no crimes as President. You aren't pledging allegiance to Bush, you pledge allegiance to the flag and the country for which is stands. Duh! However, I personally couldn't care less whether or not you do pledge allegiance. In fact, I'd love it for you to find a country to which you could pledge your allegiance--and stay there!

And here we sit, complaining. I am ashamed of my lack of ability to stand up to correct this injustice to our once great country.
I sure hope the next president is playin' on our team.
