Personally, I think he is a horrible leader and person. I disliked him from day 1. According to the most recent approval rating though, there are still 40% of Americans who actual like him. Why?

I heard Bush's fan club broke up. Ya I guess the guy died.
Hey Bennett A good honest man. Your nuts, this guy lied to get us into Iraq. Isn't this the same moron who did cocaine? Isn't he the same guy who spent years drunk as a skunk? Wasn't he part of Skull and Bones, a Yale frat which did weird Pagan rituals
If that's your idea of good and honest I can't wait to hear who you think is evil and bad.

The thing is President Bush didnt run for office to be popular, he ran to run the country. Now President Clinton whom I have nothing against did things in office to keep his approval rating high.

AVEE - this answer is directed at you(and to some others that have posted a response). Blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism....not that I am calling you a blind person but I think you should be aware of what Thomas Jefferson calls your right as a citizen and your duty as a patriot....DISSENT....Stand by your "country" I agree because you stand with the rest of us but do not stand by your president if it has been brought to our attention on numerous occasions his lies and manipulation of the truth and facts that have killed American servicemen.
To quote a republican president who clearly states your role as a patriot
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
-Teddy Roosevelt
God Bless America and her ideals. Thanks

Because some upper class Republicans are afraid of what a good Democrat will do in office. I can't stand George W. He makes me ill. He is a terrible leader and even worse person. He is not doing the best he can. He came into office holding grudges and decided whatever the Democrats had done, he was going to do just the opposite!

I think considering everything that's been thrown at him, he's doing a good job. He has issues he needs to work on, but overall, he's doing what he can. At least he's standing up to terrorism unlike the Democrat before him. And I say that not being a supporter of any political party. I think of people put their cell phone and iPods down long enough to really take notice of what's going on, they'd understand more. It's too easy to believe propaganda that's right in front of you instead of doing research on your own.
He's not the best president, but he's not even close to the worst. Let the man do his job. Could you handle the things he has??

It's a thing called "protecting one's own interest." Those who like George W. Bush are actually very self centered. They only want to help themselves. George W. Bush doesn't like anybody except the filthy rich, so he gives them welfare in the form of huge tax cuts. The rest of the 39% that like him are brainwashed by the filthy rich 1%.

Because they are Republicans and they are not going to abandon him. Republicans vote based upon morals and George Bush's campaign was all about how he was a Christian and he was a patriot. Democrats are more about issues and social justice. You will see a Democrat for the next president, just wait and see.

Well there are people who benfit (in terms of $$) from him being there. So that accounts for like less than 10% and the rest are ignorant people

Do you mean like him or do you mean approve of the job he's doing? Those are not the same question....
It really blows me away that people think our current situation with these little thugs in the middle east can be equated to the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930's. How can you study history and come to such a wrong conclusion??? Maybe those who approve are doing so out of lack of knowledge.

I still like him. He is far better than Kerry would have been. But he does not always do the right things. And what Chavez said was WRONG and especially should NOT have been said on OUR SOIL. Who cares about the polls?!!!!
