What makes G.W.BUSH qualified to receive $400,000 a year base pay to ruin the lifestyle of most Americans?

Question

He has had lots of help from the Senate,Congress & the courts but he has been leading the assault while double-talking with lies! We will not Know just how much money he & Chenny will bag moneywise but Bush had about one million going into office in 2000 by some crooked options deal!

Wow you people are totally misled you even think we have a democracy & your vote counts with out any proof or verification. Do you normally trust people you have no affiliation with?

If you want the 10 points you will have to do better than #17 the first answer with any logic!

Sorry my mistake #18 is the answer to beat!

Actually each legal citizen owes JUST in national debt on 01/11/2007 $28,869.69 a number that has soared since Bush stole the election in 2000.

Answer 1

My response to your question is, he is not qualified.

I respond to the other responses thus:
To the responses "because we live in a democracy" and "because he was elected", I say, that is why he has the authority. Unfortunately, it has no effect on his lack of qualifications.

To the response "how are we worse off financially", I say, each Americans share of the national debt has grown by $8,000. Bush has borrowed $48,0000 on behalf of my family of 6.

Bush is just a typical Republican in this respect. Each American owed $4000 when Carter left the White House. Clinton was in the White House for 8 years and increased the National Debt by $3,000 per capita (By the way, When Clinton left the Oval Office, the National Debt was shrinking).

That leaves the 19 years of Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr. responsible for the other $21,000 each American currently owes.

Answer 2

#1 His Daddy was president
#2 He loves the lord Jesus Christ
#3 He's a white man
#4 He is rich
#5 He loves oil
#6 He doesn't cheat on his wife
#7 He says nu-cular
#8 He's from Texas
#9 He likes war
#10 He giggles like a school girl

Answer 3

He is the leader of the Free World, Commander-in-Chief of the greatest military ever assembled, and ultimately responsible for the failure or success of the United States in the world community. A $400,000 salary is basically paying pennies for a CEO to run the most powerful corporation ever. I think we're lucky that's all we pay our President.

Regardless of who is in office or what they do, that job description merits much more. Whether or not someone should be in that job is a completely different question...

Answer 4

But who among liberals has done a fraction of what Bush has to serve humanity?
he particularly wins me over is in sending help to fight AIDS and malaria. In the case of this last dread disease that afflicts close to 400 million Africans a year and kills as many as 2 million _ mainly children _ it has taken something more than patty cake to face down the environmentalist fanatics opposed to the indoor spraying of DDT.

These extremists have been superstitiously, callously successful in opposing the use of DDT in Africa at the probable and ghastly cost of millions of lives, even when the best science instructs us that indoor spraying likely has no adverse health consequences for humans, no effect on wildlife and can often be the most effective technique available. These pathetic ideologues have issued their misleading words like so many terrorist assassins, and the world's politicians largely retreated for many years, but not Bush, whose approval of DDT when required already is saving precious lives in places such as Zanzibar.

But this Oval Office occupant isn't caring for large numbers of the poor at home, you maybe say. If you do, you are wrong.

My friend Deroy Murdock utilized research by the Heritage Foundation to note in columns that anti-poverty spending from 2001 to 2005 increased by 39 percent _ well above inflation _ so that the anti-poverty portion of the federal budget is now at a record high. Some programs were eliminated or reduced, as their inefficiency justified, but most are up in dollars received, and while neither my friend nor I are entirely approving of this strengthening of the welfare state, it is worth noting that the fiction of a mean, miserly Bush is just that, a fiction. My point here is not that this man Bush is a hero on all issues or without political sin. My view is that he has many faults, some of them important, but that he is nowhere close to what leftist writers and his Democratic opponents portray him as being: a figure of demonic purposes and the compassion of a rock.

Answer 5

$400,000 probably sounds like a lot of money in your third world country, but in the US there are CEO's of companies much smaller than the US government who make much more money than that.

Can you provide proof of one lie Bush has said... or are you just engaging in more of your propaganda and lies? You are just a jealous little foreigner. If you actually lived in the US you would know this is the best economy in the history of the country.

Answer 6

Stop complaining and start investing.The rich will get richer,But the poor don't have to stay poor.$400,000 is nothing our last President makes that in a month.All he has to do is talk.You know what good for him.

Answer 7

How are you worse off financially since he took office? I have made more money in the last 5 years than any other time in my life.

Answer 8

The Americans who voted him in as president is what qualify him.

As for the majority of Americans who cannot bother to vote... you got everything you deserve... so stop whinging about it.

Answer 9

$400,000 dollars a year? That's it?! He should get more because he's the one in charge of our country. But I believe he only gets that much because he has all of his other advisors to help him out. Everyone makes mistakes so you can't blame price being a factor.

Answer 10

He is paid for the work he does.

You know, like you would be paid if you actually held a job.
