Do you agree with America that Bush has failed?

Question

I know the vast majority of Americans agree that Bush is a complete failure, but what's your opinion?

Answer 1

Yes on every front from a person to a leader, he is an imbecile and the world knows it!

Answer 2

6 years ago, every taxpayer paid on average $2000+ more than he should. Why? Because the US paid hundreds of billions of dollars just for the interest on the debt. Just the interest. Most of the debt accumulated by 2000 occurred during the Reagan and Bush Sr. years. ($300 billion divided 150 million taxpayers = $2000 per taxpayer).

We are only paying the interest! This is like an interest-only mortgage except we didn't choose to pay this monster mortgage.

If we didn't have any debt, that would be a $2000+ tax break, every year from now on. But that is not to be.

What did Bush Jr. do? He gave us lip service. He ran up record-breaking deficits for years. Rather than have declining debt, taxpayers are losing more money at a faster pace than ever before.

So what do we get for that $2000+? NOTHING. The money goes into the pockets of somebody else, including foreign investors like the Saudis. That is the consequence of paying interest.

The job of any president is to at least slow the bleeding, if not stop it. Ideally, the financial injury would be healing. But instead, he opened the wound even more, making the infection worse.

So yes, Bush had failed.

And I didn't even mention the WMDs and Iraq yet.

If the WMDs were really in Iraq, then why not try to secure the known locations of WMDs instead of "shocking and aweing" the capital city? Would it not be reasonable to retrieve these weapons as soon as possible before they are used against allied soldiers or worse, taken by terrorists? But the display of rolling tanks was more important than finding these weapons, especially in the age of the media. They made it so obvious that the WMDs were not even on the military's list of priorities. It was all for show.

WMDs became "important" only to give certain members of the media something to chew on. And the propaganda worked like a charm, which was made even more effective when these certain members of the media gain from it.

Don't have a story? Promote the propaganda. Fill up talk radio. Make wild accusations of treason and/or anti-Americanism. Spread false rumors. WMDs are now in Syria!! WooHoo! Scare people. Act like your rights and/or safety is threatened. Spout conspiracy theories like the "liberal" media doesn't want to talk about these things. The works. It gets people tuned in to their show. Then let the advertising dollars just pour in.

You can blame Bush for creating the propaganda. But you can't blame Bush for the media profiting from it. Blame Bush for what he created -- thus, he failed us. Blame the media for what they did. The media failed us, too.

And what about Osama Bin Laden, mastermind of 9/11? He is still not brought to justice. That's another failure.

Or the multiple prison scandals. Or the Valerie Plume scandal. Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc.

Answer 3

Yes, total failure. Ran up the national debt to the point that 6 generations from now we will still be paying it off.

Pissed off every other country out there. No foreign policy achievements with which to point. Started a war based on lies that turned into a quagmire.

Broke the law with regards to human rights and personal freedoms more times than one can count.

Fired people or refused to hire people into his administration who were anything less than complete yes-men which encouraged the worst group think in any administration ever. Read Woodward's book State of Denial. Anyone who didnt voice complete agreement with every policy was termed someone who "wasnt a team player".

Answer 4

Bush is a pawn of the global elites. Yeah, he's a villain. However, so are the Clintons and many others. Isn't it strange how friendly Bush Sr. and Bill are? Isn't it interesting that John Kerry and Bush Jr. are actually related? Isn't it strange that Bush Jr. and John Kerry are both members of the ultra-secretive Skull and Bones secret society? I voted for Bush twice, and I'm ashamed. That piece of filth has blatantly disregarded his voter base by not enforcing immigration laws. His behavior has cost the Republican party the next Presidential election. You know what? That doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter wether a Democrat or Republican win the next election because they're both in the same boat. Our "choice" is merely an illusion to keep the dimwits (majority of Americans) from realizing that there country is utterly controlled by gloablist elites.

Answer 5

I agree Bush failed

Answer 6

People around him made him to fail. He should listen to Senior Bush and his Advisers like Sec.James Baker

Answer 7

I do not think that a huge majority of American think he has failed at all. I believe he has took over where his Dad left off and has did a bang up job protecting America. I fought in Iraq in 90-91. If the bleeding hearts would have let it alone we could have finished it then.

Answer 8

Well, he hasn't been able to achieve whatever "success" would allow us to withdraw our troops from Iraq.

wasn't WMD

wasn't capturing Saddamn

wasn't "handing over sovereignty"

wasn't elections

wasn't a constitution

wasn't Saddamn's trial and execution

when will "Mission Accomplished" finally quit failing?

Answer 9

Again, was this intended to be another forum for political talking points, or a tool for question and answers.

b is correct. You have the opinion of our President because you can not turn off your local Scews and look around yourselves. Talk to those coming home from Iraq and ask them what they think about the over all job we are doing there and in Afghanistan.

Educate yourself in political affairs and quit being a brain dead robot to the media. America voted for higher minimum wage and promises for better ways of life when the economy has never been better, because the liberal media told you it was bad.

Answer 10

I feel that the liberals and there news media in this country should be ashamed of themselves for not backing this President 100 percent in a time of war. He is a "complete failure" as you put it only because our power hungry liberal elected officials would not support him. And put that doubt in the minds of the American people. With absolutely no credit for all the good that is happening in Iraq.
