Ok with all the crap about Bush, do you democrats really think you all can do better?

Question

It is just people just find all the faults in Bush and fail to mention his education programs, and the more jobs he has created. Just step in his shoes and wonder who could do much better with all the decisions and pressure he is under.

boy the first 2 answers were alot of help

for the guy with the answer : serouly look around you could it be worse? yeah it could be a lot worse I dont see any attacks on U.S. soil that have killed many people. I don't see the people starving like a 3rd world country. Show a little gratefullness and thankfulness.

correction for above: recent attacks on U.S.

Answer 1

I agree with you. Most Democrats, especially the Liberals do nothing but complain and say what he's doing wrong, but never offer a solution that is cost effective, or even a solution at all that is fair to everyone. Even if President Bush wasn't in office and it was some other Republican, or even Democrat, people will always find something wrong with the President. That's why Presidents of this country don't let that kind of stuff bother them. They know when they step foot into office and something goes wrong in this country, everyone will be pointing fingers at them. People act like there is no one else involved in the decisions of this country besides the President. I guess all the other members of congress and the house, and Legislative, Judicial, or Secretary of defense, Vice President, or all those other positions don't do anything. They are just there to take up space. People are naive and need to research whose responsible for what jobs before they go pointing fingers.

Answer 2

You call No Child Left Behind an education program? If so, it's also failing. Jobs, you mean flipping burgers? How many jobs have left our country under his watch compared to the ones created, and are they of equal quality? Most of the pressure Bush is under is created by himself and his administration. 9/11...where's Osama Bin Laden? Another wonderful job seen to completion. We'll see in two years whether America thinks the democrats have done a better job, the elections will tell. My guess, a democratic sweep. That should answer your question.

Answer 3

I do sincerely hope so. The current administration, and it's supporters, like Limbaugh, point to the robustness of our economy and the lack of attacks since 9/11. Our economy is actually in a shambles, and we are all going to pay for that one day. The neocons are not really conservatives, they are just capitalistic jingoists. If they were conservative, our national debt wouldn't have grown to be more than $30,000 dollars for every man, woman and child in the U.S. Truth be told, Bill Clinton was more conservative than Bush. He reduced the deficit and the debt.
No Child Left Behind is window dressing

Answer 4

It's just about to the point where all the politicians are the same.

If you want real change then the mass population has got to show their strength in numbers by making demands.

As for now - lobbiests, big business , special interest groups, and the like are calling the shots...the politicians are just puppets on a string.

Answer 5

Let's be clear...

If Dems were in power, we wouldn't have gone into Iraq. And given that we did, there were tons of strategic blunders made by those who supposedly are the "pros" at doing this. They royally screwed up practically everything.

After 9/11 - there was no guesswork on what to do next. Any person in the president's position would have gone after OBL and al Qaeda. That took little thought or leadership.

Bush did not create jobs-- no president directly creates jobs.

Bush's education programs are an oxymoron. They are unfunded federal mandates that shouldn't be around-- K-12 education policy is local and should remain that way.

And frankly, dems doing better or not is irrelevant. Bush is the president and he's accoutable for where his administration has led us.

Lastly, go back to Clinton era and see how most things he attempted were shot down or citicized by Republicans.

Answer 6

A trained chimp could do better!
BTW
his education program "all children left behind"
his job creation is none existant- he is still the first president since the depression who has lost jobs on his watch
and he has had the Labor secretary play with the unemployment numbers so much that the info is worthless
Does anyone really think the unemployment rate is 4.4%??

Answer 7

His education program was authored by Senator Ted Kennedy (a Democrat). Bush invited Kennedy to the signing ceremony at a high school in Ohio. At the ceremony he told the audience that Kennedy was "a fabulous Senator" and "a good man."

In general, yeah I think we (the Democrats) could do a better job.

How?

Step One: Do not start any unnecessary wars that cost the taxpayers hundreds of billions and the lives and limbs of thousands of soldiers.

Answer 8

Republicans didn't seem to give a sh!t about the pressure Clinton was under, pressure THEY put him under. So you'll excuse me if I don't shed a tear for the pressures Bush is under now due to his inept decisions made in the past. I have no sympathy for him.

Answer 9

It's very hard to condemn someone and then mention the good things that they do, or have done. It takes the punch out of their arguements so they disregard the high points and bash on the low points.

Answer 10

It's just a viscious circle. The shoes will be on the other feet in a couple years. We need some people on office with convictions and morals. Not just someone who says they have them, but someone who lives them and votes them.
