I'm appalled to read literally hundreds of answers which continually praise George Bush stating 'he's doing a great job despite the circumstances'. What planet do you live on? It's almost like the situation with these extremists, they get brain washed just like you seem to be brainwashed by the american media.
I can't understand how so many americans support George Bush. Have you ever seen George Bush Speak without a prepared speech? Have you even looked on the net (where there is no bias) to actually see what your president has acheived? How can a country as free and as 'liberal' as America be so ignorant of reality. I live in the UK (and don't worry, i expect the *usual* f*ck off, why do you care, retard, answers) where seriously most people think George bush is a moron. We have TV shows which depict him as an idiot! What we see is a bumbling fool masquerading as president!
This american site has a few facts about the great Dubya

Well, it's kind of hard to search the net to see what Bush accomplished...cause he hasn't done anything in his 5 years in office.
Unless you count:
1. Starting a never-ending war in Iraq
2. Run up the national debt into trillions
3. Borrowing more money then ALL THE PRESIDENTS combined in our history
4. Considers gay marriage, stem cell research and giving tax cuts to the rich a higher priority then border patrol, port security, medicare, SS, Education, etc
5. Giving high-end jobs to pals regardless of experience (think Brownie with FEMA, Rummy with Defense Secretary, and the illgotten nomination of his personal lawyer as the next Supreme Court Justice)
I reall think many Repubs are too bound with their party to even think about badmouthing the President.

George s, What A DOPE!! he's the purely plant right here in the present day for Bush so he's hitting it demanding. Bush is an Evil warfare criminal who has destroyed the u.s. he swore to protect, He created huge parts of recent enemy's at a time at the same time as the entire international became waiting to wrestle an straightforward enemy,and now the international hates us for what he has carried out, Bush should be dragged out of the white homestead in chains and positioned on trial for prime Treason!

Man I agree with you so much. I just posted a question asking if people feel the Bush and the U. S government were responsible for the slow response to Katrina. You would not believe some of the sick answers I got back. One lady said that they were told to leave. My question to that is HOW, if you don't own a car, cant afford public transportation which was not available ect.. Man I am embarrassed to be an American with this government. I guarantee you since I said that, some idiot is going to come on here and say "go live somewhere else"

Why can't people just admit that Bush isn't a great president. I don't care if you support him or not... we can talk about that later.
But how can anyone look at George W. Bush and think he's a great leader? No, great leaders do amazing things, they rally the people and unify. Bush's approval rating is under 50%.... That just shows that he's obviously doing something wrong. He has to be!
Oh.. but there is a lot of bias on the net... There are sights that only say bad things and only say good. It's bias everywhere...

Yeah... duh he didn't listen about Osama Bin Laden... There are hundreds of thousands of terrorist groups all over the world with the same number of leaders. If we worried about everyone of them... we'd be going crazy. At the time Bin Laden wasn't attacking the US... in fact he was with his mentor who didn't believe in attacking the US.
As for the economy, maybe it WAS Reagan... maybe it WAS Clinton. I guess it's a debatable topic, but that's not the point. The point was that the economy didn't crash during Clinton and it did during Bush!

Isn't every American President criticized?
Not being a USA citizen, you do not understand what happened to some of us on September 11th, 2001.
The only mistake I believe he has made is going to war with Iraq. I think he feels it was a mistake deep down, however, there is a job to finish now.
He's from Texas, so expect him to talk like that. He actually does speak for the citizens of America that can actually think without being far left or far right, and for those that know that isolationism does not work.
By the way, over here, the TV shows also criticize Bush extremely, and they also show Blair to be Bush's puppet. ;)

I can't believe it either! All he's done is make his close friends richer and hurt the Republican party in an election year.
Reagan, who I really dispised, at least did thing one could consider Republican. He turned Welfare into Workfare.
What did Bush want to do, Ditch Social Security.
Yeah, some non-union Republican who is 54 years old would get NOTHING under the Bush plan!
Eveyrone knows only Democrats are Union and Unions have forced pension plans!
Republcians are either RICH or live off SS.
What was Bush thinking of when he even proposed that idea!
Bush must think all Republicans are rich.
Doesn't read History. DEMOCRATS get us into WARS and REPUBLICANS take us out of them!
He's gotten it all backwards!
Now the Democrats are going to take us out of war and look like Good Guys for the first time in decades to the Republicans!
Doesn't Bush know REPUBLICAN kids are dying out there!
He's a Dufus, not a Dubya!
All we got is a Dufus over our heads!

OK, so it's no secret that Bush is not exactly the brightest bulb on the tree, but the so-called "facts" being reported about him on the site you posted, as well as the so-called "facts" being posted about him in the mainstream media, well, the common ground they have is that everything "bad" that is happening to the U.S. and in the U.S. is Bush's fault. Not true.
For starters, the President has very limited power. It's Congress that holds the real power. Unfortunately, nothing is getting done in Congress because neither party has enough of a majority to push any legislation through and both parties are pretty much voting along party lines. The end result is that you get zero cooperation. It also doesn't help that most of our elected leaders in Congress engage in behavior that can be called questionable at best.
Secondly, what you don't hear from the mainstream media is the fact that the American people generally agree with the way he is running the country, with the exception of the situation in Iraq (there's a lot of division on that issue). Americans like the fact that Bush makes decisions based on principle, not opinion poll. The general consensus is also that we are willing to sacrifice a certain amount of liberty in order to be safe -- something that has been going on in most European countries for decades. What you're hearing over in the U.K. is the Bush-bashers that are finding fault with anything and everything he says/does for no other reason than the fact that he's a Republican. Of course they're going to demonize him as a fascist Neo-Nazi supporter of big business -- it's the same old, tired mantra the Democrats have been repeating since the days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and they do it because they believe it will sway voters to their party.
Finally, the big thing that people tend to ignore is the damage done by the former President, William Jefferson ("Slick Willie") Clinton. Ol' Billy Boy spent almost his entire term of office taking credit for a robust economy that was made possible by a lot of hard work by one Ronald Wilson Reagan. He promised health-care reform and didn't deliver, he was formally censured (should have been impeached and removed from office), he sold military secrets to the Chinese, he sponsored and passed legislation that was extremely detrimental to the American economy, and as a final insult he pardoned over 100 convicted felons as his last official act as Chief Executive. The piss-poor state of our economy can be squarely blamed on a President who didn't have the first clue how to run a country or defend a nation (Clinton was told repeatedly about the threat of Osama bin Laden and had a chance to have him handed over to our military on a silver platter and blew it off).
Bush is not the greatest President we have ever had, but considering the alternative...

Beats the hell out of me. I never have been able to understand it. How can anyone take a look around at what has been going on and not realize how utterly incompetent he is? Like I said, beats me.
Funny, there are very few people that face to face will say that they like him, support him or even voted for him. Of course on the net, it's easy to talk when people are more or less anonymous.

because sir is that the American people as a whole doesn't like to fight as our forfathers did. The term "lazy american" is here. I am busy with some patriots trying to get things together to fight the system that has failed. This great democracy experiment has'nt been tweaked by anybody beacause the people who can do something prefer to pad their pockets with money that don't belong to them. In MY society it is called "stealing" and they are going to get what they dish out to the criminals that are doing this,but not soon enough!
