Do you trust our current President, George W. Bush?

Question

Personally, no. I did not even vote for Bush...but I'm not sure I trust any elected officials anymore. But IMO, Bush is trying to take away some of our basic freedoms in the name of 'homeland security'...so why trust Bush and his cronies with anything? I think George W. sometimes abuses his power via the National Security Agency.....snooping on private citizens because of terrorist paranoia...just my opinion.

I am not saying MY basic freedoms have been taken away...but come on, the NSA snooping on Arab-Americans...yes that's happening. Anyone of Arab descent is a terrorist in Bush's eyes.

and oh yeah...Bush and his cronies in congress have cut programs to the bone, programs that benefit senior citizens, disabled people, and school children, Bush does not care about America's most vulnerable citizens...His 'no child left behind' educational program is a joke...there are public schools that have little or no resources to adequately provide a decent, useful education for children, especially in poor rural areas and the inner cities...Some of those towns and cities, even though local and state funds are used in those schools, it's not enough...and there are senior citizens that STILL have no decent medical coverage or prescription drug coverage even with Medicare part D...The Republicans cut programs while their rich big business friends get fat payoffs and tax breaks they don't need. I did not vote for Bush because I know Repblicans could care less about people who are less fortunate too.

Answer 1

President George Bush is nothing more than a pedofile and criminal. He orchestrated the terror attacks of 911 and has committed crimes against humanity and other countries.
Here is a list of some of the things he is guilty of.....

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of tens of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.

19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court

Keep asking these questions and God Bless America!

Answer 2

I'd choose Clinton over bush and here's why. Clinton is only guilty of lying about getting a ******** from a GOP hooker. While bush is busy stealing from us and those in Iraq, sort of like what the nazi's did to the Jews and the Germans. Though you are probably just as greedy and can't see. In answer to your points of view: 1: bush's faith is so strong he had to become a reborn christian to claim that status. 2: bush wouldn't give you the truth if his life depended on it, he'd plead the fifth or since you believe so strongly he'd probably sell you a dried up oil well.. 3: Yes he'd serve with as much passion as he could fit in his overseas accounts, he ducked out of the service and wasn't even in a time of war, what a retard. If only the rest of our military could sellect where they want to serve I wonder how many would be in Iraq. 4: Well he might care about his family though I'm sorry for his wife, a man who is in bed by nine leaving her to the strip clubs and stuffing money down young mens jocks can't be all good. Well at least we know where some of our tax dollars are going anyway and I'm sure the stripers are glad of it. 5: He's such a strong leader and team player that the GOP hates him and most of his voters as well though there are a few who just can't admit he's worthless.

Answer 3

I do not trust the President because for one thing he didn't truly win the Election in 2000, it was pretty much given to him by the Supreme Court most of the Justices were either appointed by his father Bush Sr. or Ronald Reagan which means that more likely than not these individuals were Republicans. He lied to get us into Iraq and noone still know why or for what reason, he also spends more time campaigning for other Republicans so they could keep control of Congress than he spends trying to make things better for the citizens of this country. Oh yeah and he has been doing political favors for all of those companies that contributed to either one of his campaigns, even if it means screwing over innocent american citizens in the process. This guy is one of the biggest pieces of $hit that has ever been in the White House, I really wish that these last six close to seven years was all just a really bad dream because I am almost ashamed to say that I am an American and actually have some pride about it. And that is not the way I want to be I love this country and what we stood for before this moron was handed the presidency on a silver platter. Oh and to those that don't like what I have to say about your beloved president you can all go to hell because from what I remember we have the freedom of speech, what is left of it anyways.

Answer 4

No I do not trust this President, as he has proven to be very untrustworthy. I think that the Citizens of other Countries can be more objective in their opinions because they don't have to vote here, and it seems that they have an extreme distaste for our current President. People protest wherever this man seems to go, no matter where he goes! He has manipulated the people into believing whatever he wants them to, then the truth usually comes out opposite of what he purports! His policies have tended to divide Americans along all sorts of lines and issues, when you would think that he should be attempting to unite Americans in such dangerous times as these. He is never held accountable for the scandals, blunders, and failures that his regime is overseeing. His constituency has even engaged in covering up sexual scandals involving young boys, and at the same time going out of their way to protect Sexual Predators like Foley(R)! They are the worst of the worst! I wouldn't trust them as far as I could see them!

Answer 5

Bush holds most Americans in contempt. He has lied about virtually every aspect of the invasion of Iraq. He lied about his National Guard service. He lied about Abramoff. He lied about his ties to Ken Lay. He looks out more for his Saudi friends than he looks out for the average American. I do not trust Bush in the least.

Answer 6

No, emphatically no. I don't trust any President that takes liberties with our Constitution. Bush acts like a dictator, not an elected official, and I have a big problem with that.

Answer 7

Trust - well he does have the keys to the kingdom so you have to have some trust. I don't fall for the 'taking away our rights because he's bad bs". Is he over zealous in protecting our country - maybe. Is that a bad thing? October 2001 is wasn't...today for some reason it is and that's probably wrong as well.

Also, just a question: Who cares that we are "snooping" on terrorist?

But, the privacy issues are fine by me. Trusting him to hire good people well I think that was has proven he hired too many that had the same ideas.

Answer 8

Yes, I do... And you should inform your self on the truth of the "snooping".... it only happens when a known terrorist calls into this country... Frankly, I want to know what that call is about.

Answer 9

President Bush has shown a complete disregard for the truth, WMDs, Mission Accomplished, the hunt for Osama bin Laden, no bid contracts for friends of the President like Halliburton, presenting no child left behind in education and then not funding it, claiming border security a priority and then not funding it, etc,etc. With behavior like this, how can you trust whatever he says?

Answer 10

Your reasoning is very correct. Just for fun you may wish to check your registry for a tracking software called Surveil. It's from your friends at the Department of Homeland Security. Hold strong to your opinions, I got your back.

Answer 11

This president hasn't taken away any of your basic freedoms. Unless of course you call taking your shoes off at an airport to go through security a basic freedom. You have let the media twist this all out of control and if you sit back just a minute and think this through logically, you will see it is the media that is manipulating you and no one else. So in answer to your question, YES, I do trust this President. That is because I do my homework and get the facts.
