Bush, the best President ever?

Question

forget the war in iraq, katrina and all the other 1biilion time he's f'd up but he's done one decent thing look ath economy not bad hey

this a joke don't get all mad but he hasn't done a bad job with the economy and it would be very lefty o u to say other wise

Answer 1

I understand that your question was a joke, but seriously, he's got to be one of the worst five of all time.

Answer 2

The economy is not as good as you think. There is a greater percentage of Americans living in poverty, wages have steadily declined for 5 years in a row while prices have risen, 40,000,000 Americans have no health coverage, 10,000,000 Americans do not have enough to eat, the number of homeless people is increasing, small businesses are declining, the national debt is over 7 trillion dollars, the value of the dollar is decreasing,the trade deficit with China is over 70 billion dollars per year, the airline and automobile industries are dieing.

So what makes you think that this is a great economy?

Answer 3

That's ok, I am very lefty.

If you look at the census data on wages for the middle class you will see they are and have been stagnant during Bush's tenure. I would hardly call that an economic victory for middle America.

CEO salaries on the other hand are up up up.

Odd how the top dogs are earning ever more money and the rest of us are stagnant - especially as profits and the stock market rise.

So I guess you are sort of right - if you are in the top income brackets (which also have the power to control all the other income brackets mind you) Bush seems to have been a godsend.

Don't be bamboozled.

Answer 4

I have to vote for Washington, he established the tone for what being President is.
You are right that "war-time" presidents get extra points, but this is more true for those who are responding to an imminent threat, or reacting to one that most americans perceive as potentially destructive.
Since the majority of Americans do not perceive pre-invasion Iraq as an imminent threat, I do not see Bush getting points for this arm of the war.
But history is a fickle thing, only time will tell.

Answer 5

Dear Sir,


Hell Yes

Answer 6

Huh? He took a surplus and totally squandered it for generations to come, and has no intention of stopping. Bush has to be the worst president of all time, on many levels. He's completely destroyed Iraq in search of nonexistant WMD, flushing a half trillion dollars away like it was nothing. Hundreds of thousands of people have been maimed and killed because of his bully-the-world attitude and actions. His lies are never ending, no one even expects the truth out of him anymore. Even his dad is in tears. It's unreal that one person can cause so much death and destruction and havoc and still be in power.

Answer 7

If any one thinks Bush is bad wait until the Newly elected congress and senate kicks in please read all the following:

Published: October 22, 2006


Nancy Pelosi condemned the new record highs of the stock market as "just
another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer."
"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new
record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are
getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class."

She went on to say, "Despite the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq,
our economy is still strong and government tax revenues are at all time
highs. What this really means is that business is exploiting the war
effort and working Americans, just to put money in their own pockets."


When questioned about recent stock market highs, she responded, " Only the
rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare recipients,
the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these obscene record
highs."

"There is no question these windfall profits and income created by the
Bush administration need to be taxed at 100% rate and those dollars
redistributed to the poor and working class."

"Profits from the stock market do not reward the hard work of our
working class who, by their hard work, are responsible for generating
these corporate profits that create stock market profits for the rich. We in
Congress will need to address this issue to either tax these profits or to
control the stock market to prevent this unearned income to flow to the
rich."

When asked about the fact that over 80% of all Americans have investments
in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock market, she replied
"That may be true, but probably only 5% account for 90% of all these
investment dollars. That's just more "trickle down" economics claiming that
if a corporation is successful, that everyone from the CEO to the floor
sweeper benefit from higher wages and job security which is ridiculous."How
much of this "trickle down" ever gets to the unemployed and minorities in our
county? None, and that's the tragedy of these stock market highs."

"We Democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we
take control of the Congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on
the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower
Federal Income Tax taxpayers off the roles and increase government income
substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our
country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied "We need
to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For
example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as "Americans."

A Bush spokesman responded to this interview by saying ,"Mrs. Pelosi has
set a new standard for the spin business."
