I think Bush has largely sold out his base by doing nothing about illegal immigration, the Dubai Ports Issue, and of course downsizing (layoffs). There isn't a clear strategy in Iraq, and many of our nations bravest and brightest are being used as target practice by radical Islamist freaks.
Think about the Pendleton 8 who are facing execution for killing an armed Iraqi insurgent. Bush is P.C. when he shouldn't be and in this and many other cases, he is obviously above listening to the populace as pleas for these men to receive a pardon.
I personally was most offended by his remarks pertaining to General Motors and Ford Motor. Sadly, I feel Haliburton would recieve government assistance if their bottom line was hurthing. While these automakers are struggling, their competition has recieved government benefits for opening plants in the United States and do not have to answer to unions. Don't misunderstand buddy, I'm a big union guy and the majority of my family have benefitted from union membership. But it is unfair for these two great American companies to face unfair competition from foreign companies opening factories in our country (with non-unionized labor) and worse, vehicles made in Korea and China with virtual slave labor.
These business practices are unfair, and if Bush has his way, America will become a country based on a service economy with virtually no manufacturing base. My question is, who is going to build our planes and tanks when a nation arrises as a legitimate threat to our nation? To put it simply, with the exception of keeping another terrorist attack from happening in the United States, President Bush has done a poor job.
Considering my answer is based on facts and is unique from the others, a best answer would be appreciated very much! I could use one!

Is this where the Bush people spend their time taking a poll on his popularity? I mean this question has been asked a lot tonight? and every night? What about it? A guy from a very powerful family with loads of clout internationally. They should never have elected his father either, knowing he was cia, that was really wrong and I still think the people that voted for him were either Nazi's or brain dead! But now that the kids that they raised are good little Nazi's they voted for this little Nazi junior too. so what does that tell you about the American public? Embarassing isn't it? That we elect a guy with a 2.35 grade average, and a salesman? What a joke. He has practically ruined this country for his big lie approach and this is the same old story that it makes me puke, along with 200 million others. With his popularity being only 28 % that makes it around 200 million opposed! He has no job in his mind he is God and King of the Mountain! dictating is his specialty, and that is all he knows how to do, other than execute people while he was governor in Texas he killed around a 100 and mostly without DNA testing too. He said it was too expensive. I would like to see him personally sued for that and brought to trial for his failure to save an innocent person in our country? So why would anyone think he would save anyone? He isn't a hero he is a coward, take that position away and watch him crawl back under the rock he came from and soon I hope!

I think that as long as we buy into the hysteria of either extreme (one being "he's an evil incompetent liar!" and the other being "he's a great president and how dare you question him???"), we can't assess him very well. My opinion is: he's not deliberately malicious, BUT he's one of those people who focuses on an outcome and then has to "stay the course" even when major factors (WMD's, for example) change. Also? He listens more to the people who agree with him, instead of to the whole country--again, not a sign of evil (we wouldn't want him to bend at our every wish, either) but, embedded in a bad situation in Iraq, it doesn't make him a strong president.
I'm sure we've had worse presidents (and no, I don't mean Clinton OR Reagan). I'm sure we'll have better.

For people, like myself, who are deeply skeptical about this war, it is not clear what the "ends" of this war might be. It doesn't seem as if Iraq is freer or will be freer in the near future. Call me a naysayer or a skeptic, but what I see in the newspapers all seems evidence of mayhem. And with no end of the war in sight, the terrible means - the manner in which this war is being fought - seem, at best, misguided and at worst, deeply wrong.
War brings out what is ugliest about humanity. While most of us can see most of the time that the ends never justify the means, many believe there is one exception and that is war.
In my mind, war can only be justified if the result of no war is worse than war itself. Such was WWII. If Hitler went unimpedded, many more millions would have gone to their deaths in the death camps, in the ghettoes, and in the battlefields. As it was tens of millions died, more were enslaved and treated beyond all human depravity, and untold millions were scarred for life. If much of our world adopted the values of the Nazis, then the results would have been much worse than the war itself. Humanity would have forever been changed for the worse.
There is no justification for the war in Iraq, and none for the war in Vietnam. Bin Ladin is either very lucky or wickedly wise. He couldn't have played a better hand against the US. We continue to do most of the damage to ourselves. Its the kind damage that is less noticable. We are no longer a beacon of hope to the world. We are just another bunch of bullies out to twist the world into our own designs.

I give him a 6.5 on a scale of 10. The tax cuts have fostered enough business to INCREASE tax collections by over $1,000,000,000,000 beyond what they would have been otherwise. Unemployment is at record lows. I have no objection to his military or foreign policy -- other than wishing that the Iraqi invasion had been better planned. His Social Security efforts were admirable, and it is a shame that the Democrats are so enamored of the nanny state that they would not even consider them. But the faith-based initiative thing was flawed, the stem cell veto was bad, and the anti-abortion bleatings, as well as meddling in the Schiavo case, offended me.

I am a proud GW Bush Supporter. I only get aggrivated when He doesn't advertize the positive accomplishments of his administration.
Did you Know -
- Changes to the Clean Air Act now allow for the dirtiest power plants to install scrubbers to reduce their pollution.
- By providing for simplified and reduced regulation and taxing on Industry, The top 10 polluting Companies in the U.S. have stepped forward with voluntary initiatives to reduce greenhouse gasses. Under this plan the U.S. will surpass Europe(again) in actual greenhouse gas reductions, and may exceed expectations of the Kyoto Protocol. The previous Administration did not sign Kyoto for 6 years, Yet Bush gets the grief?
-W enacted rules to take polluting Sulfer out of Diesel Fuel and to unify Gasoline grades from 19 types to down to 5. This will increase our refinery capacity without building new refineries. To keep people happy about cheap gas, the previous administration canceled this implimentation.
- After proper review, G.W. Bush signed a rule reducing the levels of Arsnic permitted in drinking water.
- Bush dismantled the flawed "roadless rule" which had in effect allowed for vast clear cutting in the non-roadless areas.
- G.W. Bush signed into Law the creation of the First Marine Protected Area, off the North Coast of Hawaii. This now opens the way for more of such areas in the future.
- C. Todd-Whittman, Bush's first EPA Secretary established uniformity to the quality of water being released to the environment, facilitating State implementation of the Clean Water Act.
- C.A.F.E.(Corporate Average Fleet Economy) standards were only moderately increased, but while now to include light trucks and vans. This means that more vehicle than ever are now required to meet this expectation.
These are just a few of G.W. Bush's Environmental Accomplishments. Past that, I cannot allow to go unsaid -
Under G.W. Bush, the S.E.C. (Securities & Exchange Commission) has prosecuted numberous corporate criminals, all who's crimes were committed under the previous Administration's watch. In the great word's of Albus Dumbledore "It takes great courage to stand up to your enemies, but it takes even greater courage to stand up to your friends". Bush has sent many Republican contributers to jail. It was the right thing to do.
I hope this encourages fellow Republicans, and provides some food for though for reasonable people. Thank you and Bless!

I think he is one of worst presidents so far and I want to add I feel sorry for whoever is the next president and has to clean up the big mess George Bush has left. I think Bill Clinton was a damn good president and it is a shame that he was pushed out because of what goes on in his bedroom.
