That just isn't true. Bush is a close second.

Thank you for asking that Question. I am not sure why that is. I think that people are getting their information from the wrong sources. I will say that I don't agree with everything The President does, but I do agree that we need to be in Iraq and other countries. Bush must have done something right because there has not been another attack in 5 years.
As I was just watching Fox News' coverage from Sept 11, I was amazed at how we have changed. IN that coverage- everyone was calling for these people who caused the horrific events to be bought to justice. Americans were calling for America to fight back. I had forgotten that sentiment was there in the days after 9-11 and now we are fighting back and people are whining.
President Bush is not the one who caused these tragedies- it was Osama Bin Laden, Al Queda and other terrorist organizations. These are the people to blame for that happened to America on September 11, not the Administration and the soldiers who love America and work everyday to defend her and her freedoms.
I love America and feel blessed to live in such a wonderful nation. I don't know that I fully understand all the freedoms that we have been blessed with. I am grateful everyday to the many men and women currently and throughout history who have given their lives so that we could remain free and remain the womderful nation that we are. I pray everyday that the leadership of this country will continue to make decisions that keep us free.

Americans as a whole do not hate Bush. While people may not agree with his decisions, he's not hated. A liberal-biased media makes the rest of the world seem as if all us Americans have nothing better to do than bash Bush for hours on end.
How wrong is it for this same media to glamorize Bin Laden's neice inthe very country he has tried to bring down? It's ashame that so few narrow-minded buffons control news outlets that portray a different sentiment than what actually goes on in this great country.
By the way, I do NOT agree with President Bush on many issues, including the Gulf War, but do see him as a good leader, not one trying to screw around with interns and bomb innocent civilians in 3rd world countries ( cough...Clinton....cough).

Americans, like anyone else in the world, hate conflict and want to see a quick end to problems of this nature. I don't think Americans hate President Bush, I just don't think they have confidence in his ability to end this situation quickly. I am a citizen, and a veteran of the cold war era. I do not think there is any other way out of this but to negotiate another cold war with the Arab nations. I feel they are simply as afraid of our way of life as we were of the communist way of life during the cold war. I doubt if either side has the patience to negotiate peacfully to this sort of end. Being totally non-violent in nature, I hate to admit that there will be no quick end to this situation, and I cringe to think that thousands of innocent lives will probably be lost in the meantime. We must learn tolerance as Americans, and must accept that it is unfortunate that all people do not have the same ideals that our forefathers built our great nation on.

The truth is they don't. The whining that you hear from our mainstream media is liberals doing what they do best -- bashing conservatives and b!tching, griping, moaning and complaining because they're not in charge. Now, don't get me wrong here: It's not like "W" is highly revered by all, but 99% of the criticism you hear about him is simply disgruntlement from the bass-ackwards element that wants to turn the U.S. into a Communist state.

This is all a generality and not every one......
America is corroding from the inside. Too many people have lost sight on the reality of things and base their opinions strictly on emotion versus hard fact.
Our media for the most part is very liberal. Americans can no longer think for them selves with out the pacifier of TV news forming opinions for them.
The fact that we did find WMDs in Iraq was not really reported on. It was deemed "too old" or "not enough" never mind the fact that we found some. The media still keeps playing up the "Bush lied" thing but cant prove it. People forget that it took congress to pass a vote for war. Its not just one person (Bush) that can start a war. Most Americans are too stupid to realize that yet levy blame on one person. The people of America are more concerned with who is going to win the next "American Idol" or what their favorite bleeding heart celebrity thinks. They cannot comprehend the complexities of war. Yet for some reason they feel they are more educated on geopolitical affairs then the leaders of the land.
A lot of it revolves around Americans sheer arrogance. Every one is a "Know-it-all". Aside from that, big money is made through making films undermining our administration. Americans love conspiracies, it makes them feel smart. But what they don't realize is how stupid they really are. I mean to actually want to side with people that would love nothing more than to kill them and their family is unbelievable..But unfortunately very true.
America I feel has collectively lost their mind. The biggest factor in this is the slanted and bias media. The media mind-control machine is alive and well. The images depicted daily are ONLY the worse of the worse. Rare is it, unless by accident or to connect to another bad story do we hear anything good. It's for the most part ALL doom and gloom in our media. Just look at how they stabbed the back of America with their coverage of the war? Sure they started off positive, this way they were assured that they would not be kicked out. But as time went on, the finger shaking and tattling started. This is WAR not a day at the beach. Nasty things need to be done and a lot of things are very immoral....But this is a war and that's how its always been since the first tribes clashed thousands of years ago.
Americans cant stomach war, they are too pussified. They just cant deal with it. So probably the biggest mistake of the war was to allow media in. So what happens? After seeing all this stuff Americans get mad at Bush (Not the congress the authorized the war..ignorance) So now Bush's knees start too weaken and he tries to appease every one (mistake) By doing so, Bush tried to fight a "kinder-gentler war" and what that did was give rise to the insurgency. Afraid the media was going to "tell on him" things that should have been eliminated, weren't. Things were left to fester and now look at where we're at.
People cannot get it through their thick heads that it was Saddam's responsibility to prove he didn't have WMDs NOT for us to prove he did.
It seems most Americans forget what team they are on. I wish they could live in Saddam's Iraq for 6 months. Chances are, with their arrogant mouths they would have been tortured to death after a couple of weeks.
America has turned into a culture of hate and resentment. No one ever takes blame for their actions. They are too stuck up and arrogant to do so. It's always some one Else's fault. Americans love to ***** and complain about how bad things are, as if they have the answers when they don't have a freakin clue. Americans base their opinions on emotions, not of facts. Americans take conspiracy theories, speculation and innuendo as their facts and base opinions on that. They have for the most part lost touch with reality and are spoon-fed their thoughts and beliefs through media.
Its a sad state that this country is in. As much as it kills me to say it, especially today. But I think al-Qaeda was more successful than their wildest dreams could have imagined. With the internal corrosion and seething hatred that you see aimed at our leaders and each other its only a matter of time until our country unravels into shambles. Unless people wise up that is, unfortunately that would take another 9/11...Even then, the unity would only be temporary and the blame and division would only surface again in time.
Sad but true...And for the haters? I hope you're proud of your selves, it's been 5 years today since al-Qaeda defeated your morality and patriotism....Not Bush. To blame Bush is just a by-product of that defeat except you're to vain to see it.
The rest of us will NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE.
