What are President Bush's top five mistakes during his two terms?

Question

And, if you want to answer; what are the top five things he did to improve the United States?

I understand this can be an opinion, but I'm interested to know how others feel.

Answer 1

1. Not accepting the Taliban's offer on Sept 18 & 19, 2001 to hand over B.Laden

2. Invading and occupying Iraq.

3. Violating the constituion repeatedly that he took an oath to protect. IE, Faith-Based Initiatives, etc...

4. Violating our laws. IE, illegal wiretaps, illegal examination of bank records, etc...

5. Repeatedly lieing to the American ppl. The American ppl can understand about anything when they feel there is a good reason and as long as they do not feel lied to. IE, WMDs, reasons for being in Iraq, Iraq would pay for itself with their oil, the economy would recover by now, etc...

Answer 2

Since he hasn't done a damned thing to improve this country, we can only cite mistakes - narrowing it down to a top 5 is next to impossible.....

1. His war in Iraq - no explanation is necessary. "Mission Accomplilshed." Yeah, right.

2. He came into office illegally in 2001 with a record budget surplus. Within a year, it became a record budget deficit....spend, spend, spend.

3. His total disregard for the victims of Hurricane Katrina while telling the then director of FEMA, he was doing a great job. That's why the people in the Gulf Coast states are still homeless and haven't received the promised financial relief.

4. The fool's veto of federal funding for stem cell research on the grounds that the cells were "life." How ignorant can one person be and still be a human being?? The cells are going to be destroyed. If they're life, that would make the people destroying the cells murderers and they should be tried for murder.

5. His ridiculous insistence that school children should constantly take standardized testing. This has led to teachers being forced to teach to the test and not really educate students. They come out of high school knowing how to take a test, but don't know how to write a sentence. That's kind of like Bush, he can't speak and its unlikely he can write a coherant sentence either.

Do I have to stop at 5? I'm just getting warmed up!!!

Answer 3

1) Turning a 500 Billion surplus into a Trillion dollar deficit.
2) Squandering the goodwill of almost the entire world after 9/11 by invading Iraq, torturing and killing innocent people.
3) Violating his Oath of Office by undermining the Constitution of the United States
4) Listening to Donald Rumsfeld and others on the New American Century project instead of people who really understand military matters as well as geopolitics, history and foreign cultures.
5) Didn't listen when Clinton and others told him Bin Laden and Al Queda would be his biggest problem and paid no attention to the terrorist threat until after 9/11.

Interesting how that person who said he's done nothing wrong couldn't produce anything he's done right.

Answer 4

1. Not Reading Dr. Rice's report warning that Osama bin Laden planned to attack the USA by hijacking airliners and flying them into skyscrapers.

2. Finishing "My Pet Goat" instead of attending to the defense of the United States.

3. Appeasing terrorists by permitting Osama bin Laden's family to be flown safetly out of the USA after the Sep 11 attacks.

4. Appeasing terrorists by attending an Islamic religious service shortly after Sep 11.

5. Not checking to see if the mike was turned off before saying something stupid.

6. Putting his own safety above the safety of our troops.

Improvements:

1. My oil company stocks are way up.
2. His golf game has greatly improved.
3. Finished reading "My Pet Goat".
4. Learned how to tell if a mike is on or off.
