What do the American think about Bush and his politics?

Question

Since two days I read the questions and the answers here on yahoo clever America. My english isn't so good, and I often search for words. But I see there are discussions about the abilities of your President. I know, the USA has a lot of different countries and different people and of course different opinions.
I don't like to have prejudice and therefore I want to read your opinion. Please tell me, why do you think, he is a good or a bad president.
I think, he is not the best one of all your presidents. Since the last 50 years for me it was John F. Kennedy.

Thank you to your all. It is very interessting for me to know about your opinions, especially they are so very differend.

Answer 1

Bush is a fool who seems to act like someone else is in control of his policies.

Answer 2

Bush is a loser, an idiot, a mental defective, a functional illiterate, a clown, a war-monger and baby killer. He has been responsible for more widows and children who will grow up never knowing their father than any president since Lyndon Johnson. At least Johnson had the decency to not run for a second term, but not Bush since Bush thinks he's next to God - whom he talks to every day - and God responds. So, he's also a paranoid schizophrenic. Johnson at least, got some legislation through Congress such as the Civil Rights Act. Bush hasn't gotten anything through other than tax breaks for his wealthy friends.

Bill Clinton - despite the Lewinsky affair which in no way affected his ability to govern no matter what the Republicans say - was probably the greatest president we had in the last 50 years. Bush is the worst - probably the worst in US history. Reagan was totally incapable of making a decision on his own, letting his advisors do it all, then he took credit for it. During his second term, the early stages of Alzheimer's was already setting in - he'd fall asleep in Cabinet meetings, couldn't remember things and so on.

Let's hope the American people are intelligent enough to elect a President in 2008 with vision and foresight and not one who is guided by selfish motives to eliminate a leader in a foreign land who he or she doesn't like.

Answer 3

no longer for the companies it has paved the way for. The Bush relatives political legacy has set new standards in media and vote casting manipulation for the objective of political earnings, international crimes against humanity and finished dismiss for the yankee shape and Geneva convention. He has no longer harmed American politics as much as he has re-invented American politics. Does all of us scent a Hitler-form spawn?

Answer 4

President Bush has had great success with the economy. He was handed a recession when he came into office and our economy is booming now. We didn't ask 911 to happen, but we are taking care of it. We also didn't ask for Saddam to be such an arrogant butt head, but he was, and now Iraq is caught in the fight between the newly elected government and the Iranian insurgents who want to take over. But leaving Saddam and his gang in power could never be an option.
The whining and complaining you see has all been brought about by a criminal party of democrats who are crying that they lost an election and the left wing media has been touting their lies throughout this administration. John Kennedy had a good name, but he didn't have the press like we have today. This president has been a much better president than Kennedy.

Answer 5

Thank you for asking such a perceptive question. Your English is very good.
Personally, I think he has made some mistakes in conducting the war on terror. But I also think his political opponents would not have conducted it in any meaningful way.
I am very disappointed that he has done almost nothing substantial to reduce our government's debt. Selling government debt to people and banks in Asia is not a long-term solution.
All of his political allies' attempts to legislate morality will fail, just as such laws have failed ever since the time of the Roman Empire.
All politicians in the US, not only President Bush, are not doing a good job in securing our borders.
Overall, I think President Bush at least deserves some credit for trying to protect us from dangerous people inside and outside our country.
In spite of the problems we face in the US, I am still optimistic, because I know from studying our history that as soon as we see a real problem in our society, we change it faster than any society anywhere.

Answer 6

He has made a few bad choices, but you have to remember he is in a time of turmoil. Anyone would have been bound to mess up during an attack on the nation.

The war in Iraq may not have been justified, but it did take out a man who liked killing his own people and helping his sons open rape rooms in the palaces. I have heard the argument "why didnt we wait till Sadam became an imminent threat?"
The simple answer is if he ever did become an imminent threat the United States would have been hit again.

Now I think he is doing a much better job NOW than before.

I do not support him as a person, but I support him as my president. He has made mstakes just like everyone else, and he has made good decisions as well. You must take the good with the bad, and must remember that he is trying his best to make the US a better place to live.

Answer 7

HE SUCKS!!!!! he is one of the worst presidents since his moronic father. He has no problem LYING to th eentire US about this war, ( we all now the war with Saddam was just to follow up what daddy couldnt) he honestly wants to be a dictator, he doesnt believe that he has made any mistakes, he cant even speak correct english, my god, i am an American, I am not merican, he continues to blindly folow what he thinks is right rather that what is right, he has no problem sending over 26,000 americans to die for a LIE, and he wants to prove that he is the biggest bully.. so you tell me why he is so at. Frankly I cant think of one thing he has done well

Answer 8

How dare anyone assume that the people who don't like Bush do not work or are foreigners.

First of all I DO NOT LIKE BUSH HIS POLITICS HIS GREED, HIS PERSONAL WAR AND HIS MANY LIES!

Second of all not only do I work! at a government level I also am a year away of completing my masters in Law!

The person who made this comment, is most likely the person who has very little initives or goals in life.

Bush is a lying, creepy, scary dictator, who has raped americans of their integrity, their peace, their security, their friendships with other countries ect... ect...

He is responsible for our American soldiers fighting a war of lies and some of whom are now dead.

I am just as American as the next person. Got it! idiot!

And this American who has had family in all the American wars fighting oversea's and in this God Forsaken War also has family members. This American and her family wants to see Bush and The GOP the republicans out of office. In my opinion Bush should not even be permitted to continue, he should be thrown out of the office immediatley, because of ALL THE LIES HE TOLD TO AMERICAN PEOPLE.

He has put us all at GREAT RISK!

Answer 9

I think Bush is an awful president because of the way he handled Hurricane Katrina. He gave most of the evacuation buses for people who had money, and even though this sounds a liitle cruel, he didn't try to help those people with all his heart.

Answer 10

In the last 50 years the best was Ronald Reagan. Kennedy was one of the worst. The reason he was in Dallas the day he was killed was an attempt to boost his sagging popularity.

Answer 11

I liked JFK because of his tax cuts for working people.
But Bush is a much greater president.
And so was Reagan.
REMEMBER MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ON HERE THAT DON'T LIKE BUSH ARE FOREIGNERS.
OR AMERICANS WHO DON'T WORK AND LIVE OFF THE REST OF US.
Your English is better than many of us.
Good work.
Thank you. I am proud of you.
