Is President Bush acting like a reasonable President would act?

Answer 1

Absolutely not. The President is acting like a man that is unsure of his masculinity and therefore goes out of his way in a somewhat over the top fashion to prove that he is in fact masculine.
He wants to think of himself as the embodiment of Ulysses as told by Tennyson
"to strive , to seek , to find and not to yield "
The President has some serious issues . He has father issues , He has masculinity issues and I think that he may have some health issues that are affecting his judgment.
A reasonable man would have bailed out of Iraq once he realized that the WMDs did not exist.
Question to everybody . If you were a nasty dictator of a small country and an overwhelming superior force invaded your capital city, why oh why wouldn't you use the WMD's that you had saved just for that occasion?
Back to being reasonable.
A reasonable man would have understood that under the best circumstances bringing democracy to a nation that never had it is a long and perilous process and requires much time and effort of which success is not guaranteed. How many years did the US have troops in Germany/Japan /S.Korea before we felt comfortable with their ability to govern themselves .Why would Iraq be any different?
A reasonable and informed man would have known that Iraq is not a natural country and in the absence of a strong armed dictator would revert back it's original components
The same thing happpened with the Soviet Union.
I fully understand that if the President explained to America how long this was all giong to take, how many lives it would cost and much debt would be incurred America would have said "NO!" Therefore he undervalued the actual cost to get us to buy into his program. That is a classic method used by government contractors and it works.
I honestly believe that the President has made this a personal test of his masculinity , resolve and courage. There was a time and place in the Presidents life when he could have placed himself in the arena to prove that ;he chose not to .John Kerry did .George McGovern flew 35 missons over europe at the controls of a B-24. George Bush sr saw combat over the Pacific
I think that by making the war a personal issue the President is acting in an unreasonable manner
Now I will wait for a call from the Secret Service for making negative remarks about the President

Answer 2

The president is very reasonable in my opinion, and maybe some liberal idealists should look the word up. I'll bet the definition is not "see it our way", at least not in a real dictionary Mr. Gore! Liberal used to mean "for liberty", or " for the common man", now it just means "take care of me and any of my pet projects but for Gods' sake don't ask me to pay for it or stand beside it" OOPS. Can't have a liberal saying " for Gods' sake" now, can we? I don't normally answer a question in this manner, with sarcasm and what-not, but to hear a liberal claim to be smarter than the president and then talk about going it alone and a lack of diplomacy after ten yrs. of diplomacy and a multi-national coalition is enough to drive any reasonable person a bit mad.

Answer 3

A) One has no longer something to do with the option, and there are countless lives being saved. B) guns do not kill, persons do. C)it truly is an uninformed opinion, and shrink and Run are not techniques to handle topics. D)Iraq has been Liberated from and evil dictator, and the monetary gadget is doing impressive. Dow is up, contemporary houses revenues at perfect degree in 3 years, low unemployment. we would save million$ purchase lowering funding on failing social programs. E)The Dems anti-Bush, create-a-scandal-a-day, drowsing with the enemy variety habit is what makes a usa seem susceptible. Liberals are continuously unhappy. F)We promised Iraq we would help them rebuild and we are. Saddam became an evil dictator. WMD's were determined in Iraq. i do no longer assume you're a risky American, purely uninformed. you're making speaking factors about the completed element the liberal media has been spewing in view that the day one. a sensible guy once wrote, a topic consistently seems authentic till the different section is heard.

Answer 4

He's asking for problems. He is still trying to stay the course on Iraq, and even increase troops, when an increasing percentage of the electorate wants them back home. If he continues with this trend against a Democratic Congress, the result will be federal gridlock, possible impeachment, a leftward tilt in the electorate, desertion from the party by Republicans, and a Democratic landslide in 2008.

Still, he is between Iraq and a hard place. There are some who feel that if he pulls the troops out, the US will lose access to Mideast oil, causing severe domestic economic problems and possibly putting the troops back in to try to claim oil wells.

Mr. Bush should have thought this through before he invaded Iraq. He invaded it for the oil, but it has not worked out that way.

Answer 5

Who is to say if we have ever had a reasonable President? I support him, I wonder if anyone could do any better under the circumstances, things were bad when he took office, he never caused the mess we are in, it was started before him. As long as he in office, he is still our President, and needs our support and prayers. People need to back him, and show that we are still Americans, and we have pride in our country, instead of all the wise cracks.

Answer 6

Bush hasn't behaved reasonably, nor rationally from day one. He still runs around as if he were still on the campaign trail, trying to sell his ideas to the citizens, instead of actually getting anything worthwhile done. Writes and rewrites laws to suit his agenda, whether they are Constitutional or not.

Answer 7

yes, and it has a lot to do with congress, sure the president signs the stuff, but congress makes it all up, he does a lot, but most of the stuff u c on tv congress prolly has a big part in, but the stupid democratic tv stations dont always show that kind of stuff. and example of the democrats runing tv, where i live they were talking about the 06 elctions, turned out 2 guys had been shot earlier that morning, but do they care about that, no theyd rather talk about the gay "politions" instead of wut is happing out side of polotics....while theyre on the subject of polotics, they only talk about "well if this person gets into office..." or " if this person would run for office..." theyre to woried about wut might happen and not worried about who's in office and wut they are doing that might not necessarily make the news....

Answer 8

I think he would be great to have around at a party, but to be the top guy leading our country, then no. But to answer your question, reasonable in relation to what? His decision making? His strict adherence to his daily schedule? His policies? I guess in general, then he is unreasonable.

Answer 9

I dont think President Bush is "acting", per say, I think he is doing what an intelligent man would do in his position, and I support him all the way....

Answer 10

Honestly, I'd rather have a dumb yet obnoxious president like Bush than a charismatic, calculating, master mind. Bush hasn't done any harm though his baby sitters--I mean administration has.
