Why is there so much criticism toward president Bush? It's not like being the leader of a country is easy!?

Question

I mean, if he would be a bad president he wouldn't be selected on the second term! People tend to make sarcastic remarks toward every little thing a leader lacks, thats just not right. Let's anyone who criticizes him try and do a better job. I don't get why exactly do people dislike him!?

Answer 1

That's not a bad question, it is true the being the leader of the free world, is let's just say---ummm, stressful. There is no way I could do it, nor would I want to. There are many reasons that I dislike this particular president. If you want your mind opened a bit, watch this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7218920724339766288&q=loose+change

It will change your opinion on him and his policies, I can almost guarantee it.

I'm not anti-american, I'm just pro-democracy and informed choice.

Answer 2

Perhaps, a good answer (in the form of a question) would be... Why don't other past president get criticized so much, compared to pres. Bush???

I mean it's easy to say that every president gets trash talked, after all it goes with the territory, but never before has an american president been criticized the way this president has been - not just by Americans, but by the entire world. We gotta ask ourselves WHY??? It's too simplistic to say that it's a tough job he's got, that we wouldn't want to be in his shoes, well.... tough luck. When you are elected to office, it is not meant to be easy, it is your job to govern and fulfill the dream and aspirations of your voters, not your own, or friends of yours... When a president ignores what the regular Joes and Janes want, then he gets dissed, the way president Bush is getting dissed right now.

In his credit, he did get reelected a second time, but I seriously doubt that he would get reelected again now, even if they change the law and allow it - Too many lies, too many mistakes, too uncompromising, and too extremist!!!

Answer 3

there has never been any ruler or leader in any country in the world that was popular during war. Its what killed Ceasar. This is very easily understood. The masses dont have the time or ability to understand everything there is to know about the goings on of govt. That is why a true democracy doesnt work. you will never get any head wind with all the bickering and fighting. All people see is everything doesnt go like they want it so they blame somebody. These people in govt spend every waking moment studing, learning and following the worlds actions and make decisions. How could your everday joe blow understand why they do what they do. This is why no govt has made it through the long hall of the world. However of all of them democracies only last on avg 200 years. we have done good this long but it is coming to a screaching halt.

people cant make a good country but they can ruin it.

Answer 4

he was a cry baby wanted a second coundt when he was first elected now from what i understand hes wanting a second count on the election that was just taken the 7th i think hes up to something hes courpted n evil but i dont like him either hes wanting to take social security from the elders so when we become elders the only money that we can live on is the money that we start saving now which is almost next to impossible cuz the demands in living is going up every year n minum wage stays the same as it is its hard for us to support our selves let alone we have to worrie of how we will survie when we are old n theres lot more too

Answer 5

Jokes about presidents are nothing new. They go back to George Washington. Chevy Chase made a career out of making Gerald Ford look like an idiot. And it's not just Americans. The British comedians are constantly lampooning their leadership.

Answer 6

Not everyone..likes everyone.

I like President Bush, as a person and as the leader of this great nation, but I do not agree with all of his policies, or decision's.


While it is true, that there are people who would hate,President Bush, even if Bin Laden was captured or killed, economy was the greatest, everyone had health insurance, a home and gay marriage passed in every state in the US.

Can't please all the people, all the time, but thank goodness, you can please some of the people, some of the time.

The buck has to stop somewhere..and if your president..it stops with YOU.

God Bless The USA :)

Answer 7

Obviously the people that don't like him are the ones that didn't vote for him. A lot of this criticizm is coming from the issue of keeping our troops in Iraq or not. What the prez decides to do many people don't agree with. I support him very much because he is a republican and so am I and he is a very strong Christian. He has good moral beliefs and stands for the right things. However, most people don't feel that way. Most people think he should be kicked out of office, no question!!!

Answer 8

I have been a big supporter of both President Bush's throughout their tenures as President.

Although sometimes with George W. Bush I have a hard time listening to him talk. I think he tries to talk like a politician too much. When I've heard him talk in quiet settings to his supporters, he talks much better and I can listen to him.

To date President Bush has been a great president. Those little people who still claim he is a moron, are in fact quite obtuse. Therefore they hang onto their anger of Bush out of personal frustration, not reason.

Answer 9

Being a good president is not necessary to getting re-elected. Convincing people that the alternative is worse (in this case, through mudslinging, fearmongering, and voting "irregularities") is all that is needed.

GWB is the worst thing that's happened to American civil liberties since Sen. Joe McCarthy... and before you excuse it as a result of 9/11, he started before that.

Answer 10

A bad president would make a few stupid mistakes, anything worse than that will now be known as pulling a bush.
