HE TRIED TO FIND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND DIDNT SO WHAT. ATLEAST HE TRIED TO FIND SOMETHING BEFORE IT HURT OUR COUNTRY. AND YOU SAY THE WAR WAS POINTLESS AND HES STUPID FOR TAKING US TO WAR, ITS NOT JUST THE PRESIDENTS DECISION ITS ALSO CONGRESS DECISION. THE WAR IS NOT POINTLESS. ARE YOU GOING TO LET SOMEONE ATTACK YOU AND NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW JUST AS WELL AS I DO THAT THE DEMOCRATS WOULD DO THE SAME THING.

He's an idiot. You can't see that? His whole presidency has been like an SNL skit. I keep wondering when someone will come out and say, "Live from New York...!!!" He led us into a bogus war marathon in Iraq with the entire Muslim nation. He said, "Bring It!" and it's been brought. Now, how does he end it? He can't because he doesn't have a clue of what's even going on. Now if you call that a great president, then maybe anyone could do the job. Apparently you don't need much education, common sense or anything else to get the job.

His presidency is history, so I don't want to pile on... and certainly won't say anything about his personal characteristics... The 2 main reasons his Presidency was less than par; 1. 9/11: An event that should have united Americans/ his "team" of goons used it as a political talking point, and it became a divisive issue in America. It doesn't take a Democrat to unite the country when such a horrible attack happens. (I can think of at least 4 or 5 Republicans throughout history that would have united the country, were they President during 9/11... including the conservative Reagan) But, it does take one that's better than Bush proved to be. 2. Deregulation: It proved to be an economic firebomb, which we're still paying for. Truly, this is also the failing of Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan before Bush Jr., but the "rewards" for giving sociopaths special status in our economy were reaped at the end of the Bush Jr. Presidency... so, he will ultimately be the fall guy, just as Obama will be the fall guy if he doesn't use his bully pulpit to reconstruct the resultant decimated working class.

I think he is a crook.
The snl scandle was pushed under the table to protect him,
Gas far too high highest its ever been..... But then again he has interest in oil now doesnt he.
He lied to get the troops overseas. We just attacks then moves to a different region extending the war
He is spending money on the war that could be used to launch welfare reform and better this country.
He is trying to cut 66 billion from medicare. These people are sick and elderly. They are on a fixed income and cant make up the difference. They paid into that everytime they got paid. He wants to make cuts to fund the war.
As much time as he spends at camp david and other places how can it be that big of a deal what he does. He has taken more vacation time / trips for non government business in 8 years , then most americans get in a life time.

The man mis-lead the entire congress into believing that Iraq had weopons of mass destruction and a transport system that could deleiver them here to American soil within minutes.
He drilled this into America's head on a daily basis for months.
He took America to war over mis-information and now more that 3,000 young Americans have been killed and more than 30,000 have been permanently mailed, along with 250,000 Iraqi civilians, and others, that have been killed and maimed.
At one point he applauded as Rumsfeld, the scapegoat, announced that he knew where these weopons of mass destruction were. He said they were in and around the area of Tecrit.
The American people panicked!
Bush has told lies constantly, since he was appointed, (not voted in) as president by the U.S.Supreme Court that was hand-packed by Daddy Bush.
I, unlike his supporters, don't trust liars.

Mr. Bush is a person who should have never tried to become President! He has failed miserably as a leader and ruined the Country financially, is a divider not a uniter, did not earn the trust, respect and confidence of the American people, caused other countries to look down on America!! They have kept the people in poverty since 1997=$5.15 2010=$7.25!! They gave themselves a $35.000 dollar increase in pay while denying an increase to poverty level workers!! The increase they are proposing only amounts to 17.6cents an hour for waiting 12yrs for an increase in the minimum wage!! Would you work for 12yrs for a 17.6cent an hour increase in your paycheck?? Thats Insane!! Thanks for nothing!! An honest days pay for an honest days work is not much to expect from any employer!! Are we suppose to be grateful now for waiting 12yrs to receive a 17.6cent an hour increase in our paycheck?? Because they increased it on a graduated basis we will not receive the $7.25 until 2010!!If they want to improve the lives of people working for poverty level wages then they will have to pay wages that will raise them out of poverty!! To do otherwise is to keep them in perpetual poverty!!You can enrich others at the same time your enriching yourself!!!Pay them a fair and equitable wage!!

He's a divider, not a uniter.
He's demonstrably lied to the American people.
He abandoned the war in Afghanistan to wage an unnecessary war in Iraq.
That war in Iraq was executed poorly and for political purposes, resulting in the quagmire that exists there today.
His economic policies are effectively braindead and based on disproven economic methodologies. (The voodoo economics fallacy.)
He chooses cabinet members and government appointments based around favors and business resumes, not the ability to do the job. This has resulted in poor appointments that could not handle catastrophes (like Katrina) and events such as the modifying of scientific reports to make them match the administration's platform (like editing and modifying the global warming study).
He sat on the issue of terrorism for the first 8 months of his Presidency, resulting in 9/11.
Spending is through the roof and while the rich got a tax got, the lower and middle class are paying more taxes than ever before.
His inarticulate nature makes people the world around believe our country is run by a moron.
His extreme right-wing stances on issues and with regards to other nations have damaged our alliances and in the final equation, vastly reduced our power with the rest of the world.
...should I go on?

People always talk about the "pressure" of being president and how we should cut some slack. These men are the ones that ran for president. Would you try performing neuro surgery then realize halfway through that your a gynecologist? Come on man be real. He has made choices to strip down your rights.
I believe it was Ben Franklin that said: "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither"
Beyond to "war on terror" he's made choices that affect us far greater than just our rights. He's making budgets that will affect us for years to come. You can't borrow more money than you make and expect to come out on top. Its like asking for diamonds when you can only afford a cubics zirconium.
Also the invasion of Iraq was unwarranted. Everybody talks about taking out Saddam but reality is he wasn't a threat and they still haven't found a single WMD that was our reason for invasion. Now he's managed to lie and deceive you into believing that the war was to expand "liberty."
The people of Iraq are not doing better they are doing far worse.
At least with Saddam they had jobs.

Beside the fact that he is an absolute moron who couldn't write his own speeches if his life depended on it. I only have one reason, but it is a big one. He started a war with a country based on FALSE information and against the U.N.'s BETTER judgement. This is not what America is about and never has been. He should hold all the deaths and injuries on his shoulders and be tried for war crimes.

very well he went after osama for blowing us up I applaud that. he withheld basic combat armour from our troops when they got there invaded other contries for oil (remember his money is made in oil as well can we guess why) refuses to listen with someone who has a differing opinion of his has given up looking for osama. refuses to see there might be a better solution to our troops being in a non threatening now country and seems to be loud if others want peace or critic his actions in any way (if you don't support me you don't support america.
he has allowed illeagal aliens to have in many ways more rights than a citizen of the united states (go try to get a grant and let an illeagal try and see what happens) don't get me wrong I have no problem with people coming to america for a better life but at least try to be a citizen not come here live off the government then go back after making enough here to be like a king there but that is just my opinion and just what I think.

I can only give opinion...I have no facts and figures, as many will have.
My major criticism of him is his lack of listening and respect for other's. Any good leader (of a country, company or family) knows that you must always have your ears open...and you must listen to the thoughts and wishes of others. That does not mean that you must always follow along, but at least show the respect of listening.
Time and time again, I see Bush's complete lack of respect for others, and his insistence that he do things HIS way. As a man, that shows him to be weak. As a leader...it shows the same thing.
