Bush, What do YOU think?

Question

We all know his approval ratings are down as they should be. but I am wondering where you all stand? Tell me what you think of Bush and why you feel that way?

Answer 1

George Bush President of the United States is a man who has flushed all honor and integrity down the toilet. He has spread shame on America, it's Constitution, and it's People. It is a highly embarrassing situation for every Good American. This Man has spun completely out of control and he needs to be stopped immediately. President Bush has discounted himself to nothing more then a mere "War Criminal." Here is a list of just a "few" of the crimes President Bush has committed....


1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.
19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.

Answer 2

I think he was listening when he should have been thinking about leading. The future is not that hard to figure out if you look at history. Just because we have the power does not give license to use it. I am sure he has good intentions but it came out all wrong. We have to think about compassion and stay strong for our own people. The world wants to stand up and be proud. It is humiliating to take a hand out and when the hand we are providing comes with strings attached, well I hate that so the other countries may just feel the same and want to do it on their own.

Answer 3

I'm a liberal, so I strongly, STRONGLY disagree with most or all of his policies. I am not so naive, however, to assume that one man is responsible for all the strife and misery in the world. Congress, The Supreme Court, and every single American citizen has just as much personal responsibility as he does, so I think we need to stop using him as a scapegoat.

Answer 4

As a politician hes brilliant. Hes got a perfect understanding of how to do things, what to say, how to say it, etc etc. He knows what he has to do to win and nothing'll stand in his way.

The unfortunate part of his story is that he chooses to use his talents to help himself and his corporate buddies only. He doesnt give a damn about anyone else. If he really cared about the American people or the Iraqi people, he could find a way to help them, but Halliburtons stock keeps on rising, despite the civil war in Iraq, so hes happy, Cheneys happy, the investors who supported him in his campaigns are happy, etc.

Apart from that, hes got a great sense of humor and hes a bright man. But as a President, hes terrible. He doesnt do anything a good President should do, in fact he does the opposite. Its not because hes stupid. Its because he knows hes gonna get away with it and hes goin to walk out of there having made the rich 1% of the country happy, and one of them is certainly going to reward him with a nice job or something like that.

Answer 5

I like Bush. Liberals complain about his free pass on issues in his personal life such as alcohol etc. But he got the "free pass" because he was honest about it. That's 1 why I like him

Also, in a world where politicians promise one thing for votes and then do another it is great to see someone follow through on their word. He is a man who tells you what he is going to do and then does what he told you he would.

Answer 6

I believe that after he leaves office, for the democrats don't have the cohones to Impeach him, he has a well earned appointment at the World Court in the Hague.

Answer 7

I think he is a victim of a hate-filled media. He is not perfect, and neither was Clinton when he invaded Bosnia. But the media was on Clinton's side.

Answer 8

He's not particularly qualified to be President. He seemed to inherit the office instead of earn it.

And, ....

Answer 9

I think he did exactly what his puppet masters wanted him to do. As for those of us who are not haves or have mores, he couldn't care less what we think of him. We are LESS THAN chattel to him. I don't even think that he knows we have souls. I think he believes that only the haves and have mores have souls!!!!! Everything he has done has been good for them and bad for the rest of us!!!

Answer 10

I really think he had no idea coming into office how very far over his head these waters are. To that, add 1/2 cup of arrogance.

Answer 11

i think only good presidents get assassinated, so bush has nothing to worry about.
