is george bush a good or bad president?

Question

im sort of on the fence because i have many liberal and conservative family, friends, and teachers
why do you think he is good/bad

any opinions count :)

here's what ive gotten from your answers

he's not the worst president, all presidents have made mistakes and he is not the best

so maybe ill stay neutral about him?

Answer 1

look at it this way--get a list together--on one side write down the good things he's done--and then on the other write the bad--I think you can answer your own question--

Answer 2

He is neither. He is just a pawn in this game called America. He is a puppet on a string. He knew ahead of time about 9/11 and all other events that will take place before he leaves the White House.

I would say, he was chosen by all these secret societies when he was at Yale. You know, he was also part of the Skull and Bones like his father and his fathers father before him.

And, John Kerry was also a Skull and Bones Member.

The whole Republican and Democrat thing is a charades. They are all on the same page in the end.

Our vote has never, ever counted. Yet, I still vote. Why, I wish I could tell you.

Does this help you at all? I hope so.

P.S. I am not a GW Bush hater, I just know the truth and feel so bad now that I have voted Republican since the 1980's. But, I can also tell you, I will never change parties because it simply does not matter.

Here are some links to secret societies:

Answer 3

He is a politician (puppet). The current economy allows him and Congress to foolishly spend money, but if we were in a real economic situation, he probably would be less of a spendthrift. I am concerned about him wanting all the power to monitor calls, prosecute people without a trial, etc. The president only does what someone with real power dictates him to do. I have seen Fahrenheit 911, and it would seem he has close ties to Saudi Arabia, so maybe those are the ones wanting to be able to monitor our calls, and have certain people put in prisons without a trial or public knowledge. Who knows? But his hands are tied, and can only do what others tell him to do. He is a President.

Answer 4

He's made some good choices and some bad ones. You've got to hand it to him though. He's done everything he's said he's going to do. Liberals attack him because they are pissed off at him and spout of stuff. Liberals attack his tax cuts, but I haven't had any trouble finding jobs. Liberals attack the debt, but I don't have a problem with it. Our national debt really doesn't hurt me all that much. I don't mind having to pay it off if that means things are going to get done. I don't know if the war was the right thing to do, but I'd rather have a president who responds to a threat rather than not doing anything.

Answer 5

No one is perfectly good or bad.

I like Bush for upholding a parents rights to homeschool their child. I am unsure of his immigration reform proposals. I have heard a little bit about his new proposal to stop using the fishing nets that catch everything indiscriminately and tear up the sea floor. I like his energy proposals to encourage hydrogen generation, drill new oil wells on our own territory and lessen reliance on foreign oil.

I don't know what to say on the Middle
East, since the social problems there are seemingly hopeless. I won't fault him for taking a stand and holding to the course. Maybe it is the course that will save us from Iran and North Korea destroying the world.

It seems like the media loves to tear politicians, especially presidents, up and spit them out. I guess lots of media consumers enjoy this type of story, too. I can only imagine what our modern media would do if they had George Washington to rip apart. The papers said he was a senile traitor even back then.

Answer 6

Bad president.

2 examples
1. New Orleans, where he appointed his "horse raiser" friend in charge of FEMA - and we all know what resulted.
(favourtism - not professional)

2. Iraq - there were no WMD, and no link to Al-Queda - which were the selling points of the war. Then he justifies overthrowing Saddam because he tortures people and unjustly imprisons them, and now he passed laws that effectively allows the US government do the same thing to it's citizens.
(dishonesty and hypocritical)

Answer 7

Bush is good on terrorism. He is directed, focused and correct in his leadership. However, he is wrong on domestic policies and not willing to meet with leaders of other nations, even with those who may not be on America's side. A leader must be far more flexible on certain policies than Bush. He must listen to what others have to say because they may be correct in their philosophies and Bush may be wrong. Bush is also surrounded by a bunch of sycophants who "yes" him to death. I don't think any of them have an original thought and the one who had a strong opinion about matters is no longer there....Powell. Too bad because many of his opinions were correct while the president's were wrong. Our president isn't a bad man, but he certainly isn't the pearl of wisdom. He should go back to Texas and mend his fences.
and ride his horses.

Answer 8

If you lie to your nation. What do u think?
How much blood have you seen from 2000 to 2006.
How many people get killed. Very easy to find out
Christians, Muslims and Jews.

Answer 9

hes' like most presidents..he's done good/he's done bad....he's a politician. That's the nature of the beast... He certainly isn'y his father and he's not going down in history as a great president

i second the comment above mine

Answer 10

The worst since Warren G. Harding, perhaps the worst ever.
We've had four bad ones in a row now.
