Did Bush DIVIDE AMERICA or UNITE AMERICA?

Question

jihad is up too

Answer 1

I think he did both. His first term showed the United States just about united as they've ever been. The second term however, he tended to not get his voice out there to the American people, so he naturally fell victim to smearing by the news media. That's where we stand today.

Answer 2

The first thing to remember is that the voting people in the United States are essentially 55% proponents and 45% opponents. It doesn't make any difference what the issue is. There is an exception: The news media "Squeaking Hinge Group", are 90% opponents for everything and the bulk of them are really trouble makers.

Whatever you believe, President Bush and his administration are doing what they are supposed to do. And that is simply to defend the US against those people (terrorists) that are hell-bent on murdering innocent people.

Shortly after 911 the polls indicated that we were united. Later, but just the polls from the news media...we are becoming divided. We are not divided.

Quoting the late President Truman: "The buck stops here".

President Bush, as the Commander in Chief, has to make the final decision and he is the one that gets the heat no matter what he does. Makes no difference to me and many others. He has stopped all terrorists activities in the US since 911.

It would be sadistic thinking that to unite America it will take another 911. That will not happen as long as President Bush is in office.

God help us if Hillary Clinton and Vice President, Bill Clinton (literally vice) become elected!

Answer 3

Divide

Answer 4

Divide. Which is why his support has now dwindled to the die-hard religious right, the NRA, the military-industrial complex... in a word, the 30% or so of the population that knows well in advance of every election that they're going to vote Republican no matter what. And judging by the late Gerald Ford and people like Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, even his approval among many members of his own party is less than sky-high to put it mildly.

Answer 5

DIVIDE. And he lied to get us into Iraq AFTER ignoring over 20 warnings that Bin Ladin was determined to attack inside America using commercial airliners... Bush and the Republicans should be finished permanently. Now, Ann Coulter is running around calling John Edwards a "fa99ot". It should actually be a crime to still support the republican party after what they have done to this great country.

Answer 6

Liberals divide America.

Answer 7

he's no longer the Decider, he's The Divider. we are in 2 communities now, and it is not chop up with the help of occasion. that's people who understand he has created chaos in Iraq that he won't be able to look to get a grip on, and Bush bots. Bush bots now make up approximately 30% of our inhabitants, the different 70% are working with strategies cells completely intact.

Answer 8

The better question is are we the ones dividing America?

Answer 9

I don't think he really did either. We were divided when he took office and the country is still divided. How do you divide the country any more than the impeachment of President Clinton or the 2000 Presidential election without having a civil war?

Answer 10

Bush did what he had to do. The American people divided. War is difficult.

Answer 11

The liberals refused to accept Bush's hand to unite the country after the 2001 outcome. They had the feeling that the election had been stolen by the Supreme Court.

For the past six years almost nothing has changed and don't expect it.
