I don't support Bush.

The other people who support Bush are known as "Sheeple People" They are completely blind to the facts of what President Bush is all about.

Still...there are other people here who are paid by the Bush Administration to defend his incompetence.

There is no way to completely secure the borders, but this President is trying to do so more than any President in history. The Saudis did not fund 9/11. I do not feel that he is ignoring the UN, but he is trying to make some reforms, which I feel the UN is in great need of. I also feel that with the intelligence that the international community had at the time, invading Iraq was the right decision. I live in an area directly affected by Katrina, and I can tell you from first hand experience that the problem was not a result of inaction on the part of the government, and certainly not inaction on the part of the President in particular. The problem was the amount of damage done. There was no way to reach the Gulf Coast without clearing tons of debris, and that takes time. I dont support everything the President has done, but on these issues, I dont see how they could have been handled any better.

There is no reason to suspect the government of Saudi Arabia was directly involved in 911. Some of the money passed through a British bank in Dubai. We don't accuse those governments either. The Saudi gov't is in as much danger from terrorists as the US.

The Iraq war and the missing wmd stockpiles: France and Russia, who didn't want the US to go attack, both thought Iraq had wmd's. We know Saddam used them in the past. He was refusing to comply with weapons inspectors. All together, those are pretty strong indications. Even President Bush's political rivals are on record stating that Saddam had wmd's and was extremely dangerous to America and the world. Okay, we didn't find much. Too late we were already there. Anyway, Saddam and the Baath Party were ruthless mass murderers. Ask the Kurds or the "Marsh Arabs". If the US doesn't step in, nobody does. Who's stopping the mass-butchery in Africa? Nobody. The US and Bush are it (with the help of America's loyal allies).

Katrina: It's a city in a floodplain! Bush cannot control that. More than enough money has been given to Louisiana (for just such a purpose) for the Army Corps of Engineers to have prevented the levee breach. The money always gets siphoned off after the Federal Government gives it. (That has been going on for decades.) This is because Lousiana in general and New Orleans in particular is run by corrupt, incompetent fools.
The mayor (who wasn't criticized much because he's a minority) and the Governer (who wasn't criticized much because she's female) refused to comply with a Federal request to order an evacuation untill it was too late. Local authorities turned away shipments of emergency supplies. Most of the New Orleans P.D. skipped town because they aren't paid enough to give a damn and the New Orleans Police Department is famously corrupt. FEMA was designed to "assist" local authorities. There were no local authorities. These problems are not really within the Presidents enumerated powers.

That's all I feel up to.

Thank you for a great (and remarkably civilized) question.

Our borders are more secure than ever.

We have eliminated many people responsible for 9/11.

We're trying to fix one of the main countries that funded 9/11 and turn them into an ally.

The UN is pretty worthless and actually funded terrorism and Saddam. Not too beneficial to do what they say.

Invading Iraq was the right thing to do.

We can't bully other countries, silly. They have their own people and system of government. They joined...here it is...WILLINGLY! Because they know it is right and the cause is just. It's just the liberals that don't get it.

Katrina was caused by poor planning at the state and local level. If you build a soup-bowl, fill it with people, then ignore cracks in the bowl...you get what you deserve.

Well, Bush has given me more money in my pocket (and I'm nowhere near rich...his tax breaks are much more beneficial than average joe realizes), given life to babies that wouldn't have had it under a Democrat, has secured more funding for alternative fuels than any other president in History, and continues to try to do the right thing in all situations - usually standing up against a majority of cowards in the US and the EU. Why NOT support Bush (besides the fact that ABC/CNN told you to)? The most evil people hate Bush the most.

Securing the borders is a problem, I will agree with you on that.
How can you say that we haven't held people responsible for 9/11. We've taken out their base in Afghanistan and have taken out roughly 75% of their leadership, including the mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammad. Saudi Arabia did not directly sponsor the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Some of their citizens did, along with the Egyptians and a few other countries. That's like having some U.S. citizen commit a terrorist attack overseas and having that country punish the whole USA. We didn't ignore the UN. If you remember we spent a year and a half debating in the UN but Russia and France were in Saddam's pockets so they didn't want to lose their sweet oil deals. Anyway the UN doesn't trump the US constitution. Can you name me one country that abides by the UN mandates. It seems to me no one listens to UN. On the issue of Katrina, how can you blame a hurricane on a president, it's an act of nature. Plus the feds gave Louisiana billions and billions of dollars to repair the damage and all they have done is squandered and mismanaged the money. You want to blame Katrina on a government, blame New Orleans and the state of Louisiana for such poor leadership. Florida gets pummeled by multiple hurricanes every year and they always manage to recover just fine.

we have never secured our border but Republicans have tried to build a fence but allot of liberals and Mexican are against it we are still in Afghanistan where the Taliban were and the UN did not do what they said they would Saddam broke 17 treaties and i think Bush did a pretty good job with Katrina allot of people new for a week that a big hurricane was coming and they stayed the government cant help retarded people all the time i mean if you chose to live next to the ocean and you live under sea level and a big *** hurricane is coming and the local government didn't do a damn thing but complain and take way guns from abiding people and leave them defenseless while looters roamed the area and people couldn't call the cops

H.L.Mencken said this about the American Presidency:

When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

OK I'll try to answer your questions in order.

-Failing to secure our boarders is one of Bushes biggest failures
-He is doing the best he can considering or country is filled with a bunch of liberal cowards
-We have delt with the country responsible for 9/11
-The UN are a bunch of MotherFu*kers
-We haven't bullied any other country to do anything, but we in the U.S. are tired of being expected to do everything
-And Bush had nothing to do with Katrina, it was the failure of the Democratic Govenor and Mayor in Louisianna. Sure Katrina was bad but the only reason people have made such a big deal about this is because it affected thousands of African Americans, a majority of whom are living off the Government through Federal support programs such as Welfare ect. ect.
The People there have received billions of dollars in support, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF. Many in this country have delt with some form of natural diaster (tornado, hurricane, earthquake, ect.) including myself and didn't receive any help other than the insurance we had and our own work to clean up and rebuild. If they didn't have insurance thats their fault not the government.

I support some things he has done. But I also disagree with him on other things. I am impressed for a change at the answers here. Even those who are not bush supporters on anything were civil. Maybe the kids who usually use abusive language especially on this subject got bored or went to the mall or something. The best answer (and there are some good ones) was given to you by who. I cannot add anything to what he wrote.

He's still the President. I don't support everthing he's done (or not done, in some cases). As great as we were at dominating the Iraqi Army, we sure screwed up planning the aftermath.

As for Katrina, I think you should ask people in Mississippi what they did, and why you don't hear about it as a result.

N. O. wasn't a nice city to begin with before Katrina. And you need to take into account the overly corrupt nature of Louisiana politics. It's just not as simple as you might think, none of which is Bush's creation.

__first he know what is good for USA, the other countries in UN want to weaken this nation! For UN to make decision, Iraq has hide many of WMD - it took us about 2 years to find some of them!
__second, not Iraqi in 9/1 but their government support terrorism (money, land, weapon) - next time Saddam will give terrorists WMD
__third, border is vast - illegal immigrants don't fear death - underground tunnel is hardly located - but step by step our border is more secure/ you cannot expect miracle!
__China, Russia, communists countries, aggressive Muslim countries bully the weak ones, US protect them (Taiwan, Israel for ex)
__FEMA spend much money for Katrina, we must have majority of the fund for terrorism problem! (you cannot rebuild a ruin when people around you want to ruin your nation)
