How come people are so disrespectful to our President?

Question

People bash him constantly, and it bugs me. He made a mistake he admits it, and they won't let it go. Iraq was not all his fault. Jerks like Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld were the main reason why we went there. He's not an idiot. He went to Yale for God's sake. I tell people they should be President, and I tell them they wouldn't be a better President than our current one. I can't believe people say he killed those 3,000 Americans in Iraq when terrorists did. He's not our worst President. Franklin Pierce and William Taft are statistically the worst Presidents. People who say he's the worst President are just making opinions, and not going by the facts. He did not cause 9/11. Muslim extremists did. He's not destroyed the economy, but rather helped it. Then people like Cindy Sheehan meet with our enemies, and bug him constantly. Those people who show no respect abuse their power of free sppech, and should be sent to a Communist country for a day, to see how people should respect the

President.

I am nt saying agree with the Presidet all the time, but don't look like an idiot on TV and say Bush is a retard when people in other countries are viewing it and laugh at how foolish we look. And how we don't respect anyone.

Answer 1

Bush has done absolutely nothing to earn our respect. Respect is something which is earned and he hasn't done squat. He may not be an idiot - which I doubt - but he certainly comes off looking and sounding like one when he speaks. And he went to Yale - and graduated with the equivalent of a C- GPA. That won't even get you into graduate school since you need a minimum of a 3.0 (B) to get in on probation. Yet he got in - tell me money doesn't talk.

He's squandered a massive budget surplus left by the Clinton administration on a war in the wrong country for God's sake!! There were no terrorists in Iraq before - there are now. Thanks Dubya.

He's completely ignored the needs of people in this country except for his rich buddies (think Katrina aid) while fighting his little war which will be his legacy.

The list of abuses from the Bush administration and the fool on top is endless. History will judge him as the worst President of all time - even worse than James Buchanan, usually thought of as the worst.

Answer 2

I think allot of people do not like the president because he has prov en himself as either a liar or a proven fool ,and members his own administration have resigned Most people honestly believe that he won his last administration by default with Florida vote fraud.,Weapons of mass illusions LOL,oil tycoon cronies, not to mention Katrina's fury.

But all that , the people can handle . its the sacrificing of American soldiers that this nation is beginning to loathe this president.

We as American are used to the idea of the concept separation of church and state. and Iraq is a country divided by religion and government, the only way Iraq will be democratic
state is by civil war ... or not.

i don't think the this country is ready to give up thousands of it own soldiers to ensure a
democratic/ run state in Iraq.

that is a decision that Iraq must fight for and should spill its own blood for. and that is why he is hated . this President pushed us into a war that has become a civil war instead of finding weapons of mass destruction we found deaths large quantities

Answer 3

UNelected Dictator Dumbya deserves NONE!!! What "communist" country? There are about 4 left that so proclaim themselves, but they are not that in terms of egalitarian ideals, nor in the benefits that were supposed to occur in such a society, the possible small exception being more access to heath care, so the class struggle continues there as well. All I want for the USA is a government that honors the US Constitution.

Answer 4

Alot of people died for us to have the right to express our opinions and views, no matter how ignorant they are. Just look at the idiot that posted the question, "Who would ever vote for a black president?". If this guy can express that ignorant opinion, then people can express their displeasure for Bush. For the record, I voted for Bush, and stand behind him 100%.

Answer 5

You have to understand that liberals are still angry that George Bush has outwitted them ever since 2000 when he was ELECTED as President of the United States.

That's all they have. They don't have alternative ideas. They don't have solutions for problems or suggestions which might lead to VICTORY in Iraq (whether it is a mistake is, at this point, a moot question, IMHO).

The left has done nothing but obstruct from day one, and when something goes wrong, they blame it on Bush.

9/11? Forget blaming the Clinton administration for its apathy regarding terrorism. Forget Osama Bin Laden's stated goal of creating a world-wide Islamic theocracy. It's all George Bush's fault!

Hurricane Katrina? Forget blaming the local authorities, Mayor Ray "Willy and the Chocolate Factory" Nagan and Governor Blanco, both of whom merely sat back and did nothing while the hurricane came and wiped out the New Orleans French Quarter, LEAVING civilians in place to die rather than acting BEFORE the storms hit to evacuate the sick and elderly. It's all George Bush's fault! And if you listen to Screwy Louis Farakhan, George Bush planned the whole thing!

Iraq? Forget that every major leader thought the intel that led us to war at that time was true. Forget the statements of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and a number of others! George Bush lied, hyped, mislead, etc., ect., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam!

Liberals hate George Bush, and they'll not stop until they are able to make a shambles of his presidency... That's all they have... End of story.

Edit: Okay... I have to add how funny this is.. It makes me laugh to see these walking rhetoric machines (IE Liberals) using the EXACT lines that I was mentioning in this very post! Hello folks! You've argued and your points have been disproven ad nauseam!

Answer 6

You are saying all this with the assumption that BushCo is actually working for The United States of America.

Increasingly, it is coming to light that they are not. It is scary and hard to swallow but there are some smart and brave people trying to protect our country.

Here are some big problems with our President.


-- Bush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq.

-- Bush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens.

-- Bush violated International Law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes.

-- Bush violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war.

-- Bush held prisoners without formal charges and without legal representation.

-- Bush illegally used government funds for domestic political propaganda related to the administration's Medicare package, paying commentator Armstrong Williams, etc.

-- Bush used uniformed military personnel for Republican party political purposes.

-- Bush was negligent in his slow response to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

-- Bush shows contempt towards our Constitution and our democratic ideals.

-- Bush lied about the fish. (I'll explain if need be, but you can google it).

Answer 7

Let's face it...some people are always finding fault with someone. Of course President Bush is far from perfect, but look at history. Great men were criticized when they were alive, but later history recorded them as great men. Look at Jesus Christ, whom I believe is the Son of God, and they crucified Him. So it goes to show you that a perfect man can not please everyone! I'm afraid that in the near future we may say "I told you so"! We are not living in a very stable world! My security is in eternity and not of this world.....I just do my best and contribute to the well being of others while I am here. Take care and God Bless.

Answer 8

He has done nothing to earn my respect and everything to earn my ire.

His oughright lies about the reasons for invading Iraq - his failed economic policies - and his disrepect for the consititution are but a few of the reasons I dislike the man.

Answer 9

Any idiot with enough old money to back him up can buy their way in to Yale. He's disrespected because he'll keep this war going at the expense of our people in order to fund Halliburton and the rest of his dad's cronies. And alienating gays doesn't earn him any points either. He may not be the worst Prez ever, but definitely the worst in my 49 years.

Answer 10

Most of the people who bash the President in here aren't even old enough to vote. They were never taught to respect people in authority, and they onviously don't respect themselves.
As for Cindy Sheehan, her son's death has given her the opportunity to garner the attention she never got as a child.
