He led the country into an illegal war with Iraq.
He has signed or will be signing legislation that takes away some of your rights given in the Constitution.
His management of the economy has been a disaster.Whan he took office,America had a trade surplus of 237 Billion dollars.You now have a trade deficit of 250 billion dollars.
Yet I see so many people in this forum think he is wonderful.
How many more things does he have to do to screw up your country before you get the message?

They...the government must be spiking the water! Seriously I don't get it either. Many would follow him if he anounced he was the Anti-Christ. They keep talking about kool aid too must have something to do with the brainwashing. How is it they haven't noticed that we have lost civil liberties?...Did Fox News not report that we are safer without them? And how many years does Clinton have to be out of office before they stop blaming him for all of Bush's screw ups? whats up with that anyway? Kinda spooky the way they all chant the same zombie like things. Its like the Stepford party or something.

CPMondello, There are nevertheless many who do. you ought to comprehend that a lot of what, as you say - includes basic" is what's suggested by technique of the media. The media hasn't ever been pleasant to Bush - and regardless of ways somewhat undesirable Clinton replaced into, continually supported him. Following 9/11 (bear in mind the terrorists entered the country and were experienced at the same time as Clinton replaced into president) we've not had a terrorist attack happen adversarial to us. bear in mind also - a democrat led congress helps the conflict, it is winding down. Bush took enormous hits it the clicking for typhoon Katrina - yet, legally this is the duty of states to reply and help, no longer the feds. Even the l. a. governor suggested that particular situations, notwithstanding the media not in any respect suggested that. And no, i'm no longer a huge fan of Bush, nor a hurry Limbaugh fan. i'm in basic terms someone who has faithfully voted when you consider that Jimmy Carter ran (and that i voted for him). "Ranger"

Well, Clinton didn't get anything accomplished, so.....yeah, wars cost money. And when is a war "legal". Also, how is our economy bad, I guess the stock market has nothing to do with how the economy is doing. And you can't argue that the repubs are inflating the stock market b/c company earnings are high and you cannot fake that. Lets see, deficit does not equal debt, the dollar is worth too much to be in debt, the only way this country could go under is if China or the Euro decreased the value of their currency.
Obviously you know nothing about gov't or economies based on your inane question. Try picking up a book and learning.

I dont know why anyone supports him. It was definately shady how he "won" both times. I am a free thinker and I am tired of all the liberal bashing on here. I dont allow my TV to do my thinking for me. Conservatives are always on and on about the left wing bias in the media (which I cannot for the life of me find, I've been looking for it for forever) and in academia, which I also cannot find. Just because some of us question, automatically makes us hysterical and emotional. I guess that's better than narrow minded and self centered. We've also been insulted on here and called ignorant and America haters. I've been taught to look at all sides of a question if they are available, and I dont believe in something just because someone in a position of authority tells me that it is so.
I love this country and I believe in the Constitution, and I think we still have free speech in this country and I can still (for now) speak my mind. And while I do that I will still continue to ask questions.

1. How is the war illegal? Congress and the Senate authorized it, and last I checked, that means that the war is LEGAL.
2. He has not. What rights have been taken?
3. Not true. Yes, the deficit is extremely high, but it's shrinking. Why? Because the recession that started to hit in 99-2000 which was BEFORE President Bush was inaugurated is slowly dissipating. Unemployment is at an all-time low. The DOW is setting record-breaking highs. The stock market is a reflection of what people are buying. The fact that the stock market is so high means that people have more money to spend. How do they have more money to spend? TAX CUTS.
What else have you got for me?
Oh, I'm sorry, I guess the two people who gave me thumbs-down so far wanted to see something more like this:
Because they're braindead, warmongering idiots who have been spoonfed lies by Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.
Too bad I can't STAND Rush Limbaugh and I DON'T just watch Fox, either!

Because plain and simple, they're stupid. They depend on others for their marching orders and therefore get constantly misinformed into thinking that the worst president in our history is a successful and compassionate man! They don't read on their own and they don't have the ability to form their own opinions like us libs/dems.
Hey mr rukidding, no one will take the time to read your right wing-nut crap that you take and paste from right wing leaning sites, it's a waste of time and space! You know damn well that your side doesn't take time to read, so quit hogging all that space!

He signed the torture bill early this week.
When he was in the 'Champagne Squadron' he did tell people he was the Anti-Christ, while dancing naked on a bar stool. Not a pretty picture. Now I have to go gut a pig to have something more pleasant to think about.

leogirl...I wouldn't equate what is being done here to a parrot...The first question is valid. The second is not.
I can support the President of the United States. I can even support George Bush, who is the President of the United States. I cannot support this tragedy you call a question with information at your disposal you simply fail to use.
People are getting involved in politics because it's "fun". Will the real adults please take care of their children, put them to bed, and discipline them once in a while?
...and all you so-called educated students in college (or just graduated) who research a term paper endlessly but don't take the same effort to find out what's true and what's manipulated in politics make me sick.
Where you stand depends on where you sit. Since the Dems are all sitting this one out, don't pretend to make a stand here in this forum.
A parrot is a nice pet. Pretty to look at, nice to listen to...no, what's being done here is more equivalent to a skipping record.
Someone shut it off.

I see you didn't say anything about Afghanistan or the UN.
The coalition of UN started the war in Iraq, by passing 19 Un resolutions that were not met by Sadaam.
The Constitution does NOT allow people to converse with the enemy in times of war.
The economy is doing fine.
Do I think he is wonderful? NO! He is too weak on the invasion from the south.

Strictly speaking as an american here,
I think that is an outstanding question... Very well put. I've wondered that often myself.
This guy Cambion7 here is among the reasons why some Americans suffer from poverty. Its a real class war... all these political guys ramble on about non-sense, but there are people starving in our nation. Some Americans even see jail as a viable option of a means of survival... none of these political spin meisters ever talk about the real issues faced by every day citizens... Trust me, some of you guys need to take off your suit and ties for a second and take a walk around the block.
And don't kiss the babies of your top paying supporters either,
This time I want you guys to reach out to those who don't support you... I mean, lets say Martin Luther King BLVD... talk to some people over there why don't you. Or maybe, they don't consider those as people...
