Most republicans are die hard believers in Bush so you'll get a lot of answers that are more emotional than not from them. They don't want to recognize the fact that when the majority voted democratic it was in large part a back lash against Bush & a way to rein him in.
He knows he is going to have to change the way he does business if he wants to get anywhere with the democratic congress otherwise he will be known as a lame duck president.
He has finally said that he will have to work with the democrats -- something he didn't do before this. Karl Rove & Cheney would make a decision & Bush would normally go along with it. I doubt he ever made a decision against their advice.
Even though he has two years I feel that he has been "toppled." He and his cohorts will no longer be calling all the shots with the new congress. Also he has lost the support of many republicans in congress.
How do I feel? Estatic. We now have a chance to improve our world image to which he did considerable damage with his arrogant "my way or no way" attitude. Hopefully, he will be more concilitory & actually work with other countries to resolve issues & conflicts.

Good question. But i don't feel any better now that the GOP (republicans) are at the disadvantage. i think bush is the worst president in my life time. But he may be the best man for the situation he put us in. Clinton, as great as he was, would be bad at this present time.
When your choices are between a giant Dushce and a Terd Sandwhich, which one do you pick?
Plus, the last few years of completely insanity in the GOP have had some good outcomes. We have seen how many of them broke with party ranks to call the president and other GOP leader idiots and bad leader. For example, John McCain R AZ. I hope he runs for president. i will vote for him
In war time, a nation needs a combat veteran at the helm.

Well he wasn't toppled. The Republicans just lost some seats. This is really just how things go here. Most voters go back and forth between the parties because we don't have one that anyone really fully believes in. BOTH parties just try to serve their own interests and the interests of their friends. Now if we'd gotten more independents in ....well then I'd feel relieved.

He's still Prez for two more years.
Most of us conservatives are feeling a bit sold-out by the Bush Administration. Up to this election, he didn't fufill the ideals of the Republican party, he didn't behave as a conservative, he allowed neo-conservatives to dominate foreign policy (they all jumped ship before the election, too), and he didn't fulfill his oath of office either.
Now we're feeling a bit empty, especially considering that President Bush has promised to push through yet another amnesty plan for all of our illegal aliens, and he's quoted as saying that with a Democrat controlled House, it will be easier for him to do so.
To put it plainly, we all have our heads down on our desks, with our fingers in our ears so that we don't have to listen to the looney liberals hooting it up, and we're wondering what happened to our leadership.

The control of both houses by the democrats would bring some balance and sanity to American politics.
The world would be interested in knowing why Iraq was invaded even though there was compelling evidence that they have no weapons of mass destruction.

Personally, I'm feeling dang good about it. AND, I look forward (if only in my dreams) to an Obama-Powell Democratic (or Indepenent) ticket. I have no idea if Obama and Powell would do any better (much less if they'd even run together), but at least it's something I can hope for. And I haven't been able to hope for much for a very long time.

It will be fun watching the Dems come up with a coherent national security position. I voted for the war before I voted against it. I'm not in favor of cut and run, I'm in favor of immediate redeployment to Okinawa.

I feel better about it, but that doesn't excuse the damage that has been done and why so many Americans supported him, even though they knew he lied to get us into war... I'm hoping the truth will come out and we will have a war crimes tribunal, along with a war mongers tax on anyone who supported this administration.

In 1994 Clinton's loss was twice a great yet he was reelected in 1996. All politicians have set backs. Truman lost Congress and the Senate in 1946 after winning the war. People weren't happy because there were no jobs for the returning soldiers, duh!!!

He is STILL the President of the U.S. for 2 more years. No one has toppled him. He is still in control of the greatest, most powerful country in the world. God Bless him!
