What's the worst mistake Bush made since being in office?

Question

Being a flag waving patriotic Republican.......I'm sure he's made a few mistakes.

What is his worst mistake? If any? Or are there too many to list?

I'm a nonbiased Republican, lol.

Answer 1

Not sending enough troops into Iraq to do the job right. do you really think 138,000 troops can effectively police 20+ million people. I don't.

Answer 2

Republicans need to take their party back from the Neocons. He has violated many rights under the Constitution, including illegal spying on innocent Americans and rendition facilities where people are tortured, ignoring Geneva conventions by holding prisoners for years without charges and mostly refusing to see where he is wrong.

If you are truly Republican you need to let your party know that you want honest representatives who have not been blackmailed for having mistresses and doing drugs. Your leaders are being forced to vote in laws that are Un-American. Get Going!

Answer 3

So many mistakes to list, but a big problem from the start was surrounding himself with cronies and Dick Cheney and shutting out opposing viewpoints. Lincoln had a cabinet full of his political rivals to challenge his thinking- Bush has a slew of 'yes men'. This initial mistake has opened the door for all the disasters to follow. (And he still has not corrected this mistake.)

Answer 4

Some would say the war and many will tell you about wire taps and other things. Personally I think his worse mistake is to take all the stupid critizim that people give. I believe he should be more active in explaining his actions and asking the other side what they would do. Because they certainly seem to know WHAT NOT TO DO! This is why I believe his poll numbers are down. I think if he gave the reasons for his decisions alot of this complaining would be mute.

Answer 5

Preemptive strike in Iraq.
Sending our troops into war ill equipped.
Wanting to use torture formally used by Nazi's.
Katrina ( that showed his complete incompetence)
Being an arrogant cowboy
Loyalty to his inner circle and not America.
Drug program for seniors, that costs more than they paid before.
National guard on the border with out the use of weapons.
No borders along Mexico.
Allowing illegals to break our laws.
Drugs brought into the country from the south by drug dealers but low cost medicine kept out of the north.
High fuel cost while he profits.
Oh, I better stop. You did say just one. Oh well, just pick one that you like.

Answer 6

His worst mistake would be to invade Iraq under the premise that it was to fight terrorism and stop Suddam and his WMDs. It only made the terrorist problem much worse.

It's obvious to anyone that has been paying attention that this was all a big lie. He should have just concentrated on getting Bin laden. But if your paying attention, that is not very important either.

Answer 7

If he ever gave any thought to any liberal's mindless statements the would be a huge mistake. Fixing the mess that Clinton left for us has been a huge challenge and I think he has done a great job!

Answer 8

Not firing all the Clinton staffers and appointees. Seriously, when they acted like F_ing 2 year olds and stole all the "W"s off of the keyboards, he should have fired everyone. Since then, they've graduated to leaking all of our national security secrets to the New York Times.

Screw the "new tone". Fire all the incompetent, traitorous bastards.

Answer 9

every time he tried to be bipartisan he would get his *** burned by the democrats. I was getting really irritated with him in that regard. When he nominated that woman for the supreme court. (can't think of her name), His stance on illegals, but he has corrected that to be more in line with most Americans. That is all I can think of. I'm pretty okay with everything else.

Answer 10

Considering the Democrat point of view and trying to be bipartisan.
