Name one bad thing that George Bush has done during his presidency?

Question

Really, I would like each answerer to name only one thing that Bush has done wrong while he has been in office. I am going to take the obvious and answer the war in Iraq based on his lie. If you run out of things from the other answerers just name one lie that he has told. Answer as you wish.

With many of you the biggest issue is the illegal alien problem. As a democrat I agree it is a problem, however I think the war for no good reason is the biggest problem due to all the deaths. Both our soldiers and the Iraqi people have suffered due to this awful, either mistake or on purpose for personal gain. I am going to try to chose the answer that is best that reflects this, I would put it up for vote but have had many bad experiences with the voting ending in ties. Especially with this many answers. Thanks to all that answered. Many were very interesting and well thought out.

Answer 1

After winning a tactical Military victory in Iraq based on false and misleading premises he sent in Becktel, Haliburton, and Brown and Root with billons of tax dollars to rebuild Iraq before restoring security. They put the cart before the horse . The reason was to show progress but there was no progress possible under the conditions that prevailed once Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall.
Biggest mistake?
Failed to supply sufficient troop levels to secure the public peace in order that meaningful reconstruction could take place. This was the problem from the beginning and the situation has worsened ever since.

Answer 2

i'm embarrased to confess this, yet, till now he become elected, i could was hoping that George W. Bush could be elected and that he'd cut back to rubble so badly that the corruption and evil he represented could be uncovered to all. I had no thought that ought to result interior the deaths of over seven-hundred,000 harmless human beings and the extreme harm to a diverse million plus. i'm no longer constructive that this lesson has been discovered. The evil accomplishments crush something constructive he might have carried out. i understand stockholders in Halliburton might disagree, to no longer point out whoever stole the $4 billion misplaced in accounting for oil.

Answer 3

The farce that was the medicare medicine program that benefitted his friends in the pharmacy business

No Child Left Behind, an unfunded mandate that has not reduced the school dropout rate but compelled schools to cut back even further.

The total and complete mishandling of New Orleans and FEMA and the continued misunderstanding about what to do.

The denial of global warming and the refusal to abide by the Kyoto Protocol.

As to lies, this exerpt is from "The Nation" magazine:

"Fourteen months after the attack, Bush said, "We must uncover every detail and learn every lesson of September the 11th." But his actions belied this rhetoric. His White House refused to turn over information to the intelligence committees about a pre-9/11 intelligence briefing he had had seen, and the Bush Administration would not allow the committees to tell the public what intelligence warnings Bush had received before September 11.

"More famously, Bush would not declassify the twenty-seven-page portion of the committees' final report that concerned connections between the 9/11 hijackers and Saudi Arabia. And following September 11, Bush repeatedly maintained that his Administration was doing everything possible to secure the nation. But that was not true. The Administration did not move--and has not moved--quickly to address gaping security concerns, including vulnerabilities at chemical plants and ports and a huge shortfall in resources for first responders."

Answer 4

The economy. The Canadian dollar used to be worth 75 cents US during Clinton's era, and ever since Bush took over, it's been rising to around 85 to 90 cents US.

Answer 5

Changed the formula for calculating the deficit. The new figures released show the deficit falling. These numbers were arrived at by changing their accounting, not improving the real numbers. In reality, the recent deficit numbers came in at $700 billion, not the $247 billion reported. In real numbers, the national debt is now $80 trillion. In order to balance the budget, it would require somewhere around an 80% increase in taxes across the board.

Answer 6

George Bush came off of Vacation ASAP to help congress with the Terry Shivo case and it took him 2 1/2 days to come off vaction for Hurricane Katrina.

Answer 7

Let's make the list a whole lot shorter.
Instead, ask what Good thing George Bush has done since being elected as president...

Answer 8

He lies every time he bows his head to pray.
He has lied to the religious right, making them think he cares about them. He only cares for their money and nothing else.
He has lied numerous times about the Iraq war, but you already know that. Isn't that enough? Our soldiers are dying over there at his hand.
I believe that's about 3,000 lies to date.

Answer 9

Not express his reasoning clearly enough for his military strategy in the Middle East.

Clearly answerman, Al-Qaeda is out to get us and we need a strategic foothold Somewhere in the middle east to be at the battle fronts of Jihad.

You know what I think another thing he did wrong? Not close off the borders to our country and Kick more Muslims out of our country. If he was the totalitarian tyrant we are all making him out to be, why didn't he put all Muslims in concentration camps, like we did to Japanese during WWII?
Maybe he should have.

Answer 10

He hasn't stood up to the liberal crybabies who constantly criticize, but don't have any better ideas. They only say they'd do it "better." When asked how, they never have an answer.

Why won't he stand up to them?
