what does everyone have against bush?

Question

i've heard a lot of bad things peaple say about him but not really what they have against him

Answer 1

I can't speak for everyone, but I'll speak for myself.

1) The man sounds like an idiot everytime he speaks, and as odd as it sounds, he's a terrible liar. I understand that government officials routinely lie about things, like the state of the economy, to defuse panic situations. If they aren't good at it, then they can't effectively do their jobs. At first I assumed that he must be smarter than he appeared, but he's convinced me otherwise.

2) Back in July 2001, the longshoremen went on strike. They're the union in charge of labor at every dock in the country, so anything that comes in on a boat passes through their hands. While the federal government mediated the negotiations, George Bush decided on his own to send in National Guardsmen to scab. This meant that the Longshoremen's work was getting done anyway, so that the management companies they were negotiating with had no incentive or pressure to wrap up the negotiations quickly. This caused the failure of those negotiations, and directly led to the dock lockout that happened at Christmas of that year. The federal government was no longer a trusted negotiator to resolve that situation, and business suffered billions of dollars in losses during the middle of the busiest time of year.

3) In the immediate aftermath of 9/11/01, there were several Whitehouse press briefings issued, but not enough direct contact from the President of the United States. It was a time when the entire nation was momentarily unified and on edge, and direct leadership was required. He didn't directly address the nation until 9/20. We needed to see his face.

4) He invaded Iraq on the premise that he knew they had Weapons of Mass Destruction (because he couldn't pronounce nuclear), and knew where they were. When no weapons were discovered, he blamed the intelligence community. The President of the United States does not get to pass blame. He makes the final decisions, and if the intelligence is shakey, then he shouldn't go willy-nilly invading other countries on a hunch. He then attempted to insinuate that Saddam Hussein had funded Osama Bin Laden. That's ridiculous. Osama Bin Laden is a billionaire, and a religious fanatic. He hated Saddam's military regime as much as we did. Then he tried to point out that it was a good thing that Saddam Hussein was no longer in power, and that's true, but that doesn't make it okay to repeatedly get caught lying to the American people, especially about something as large as our reason for war. There were no terrorists in Iraq until we took Saddam out of power. The fight we have there now, we have as a direct result of the actions of George Bush.

5) When people began to question his motives, he questioned their patriotism. When advisors gave advice contrary to what he already believed, they were fired. When Military Generals suggested alternative battle tactics, they suddenly "retired". He surrounded himself with only people who agree with him, and then couldn't fathom why he's getting bad intelligence.

6) He won the hearts of the midwest by promising that he would ban Mexicans, and "protect" marriage by passing a constitutional amendment to ban Gay Marriage (how was marriage in danger from that?). Firstly, I'm horrified that a campaign run on homophobia and racism was accepted in America- he played to our darkest weaknesses. Second, he has no idea what it takes to pass a constitutional amendment. There's no possible way he could do it. He would know that if he'd read it.

7) When he won his second term in office (by less than one percent of voters, under questionable circumstances in many districts) he declared his victory a mandate from the American people that they "overwhelmingly approved of his policies" (that's a direct quote), and set about spending his political capitol. Overwhelming approval is shown through a landslide victory, not a single iffy electoral vote from Ohio. Most of his own Cabinet members resigned in protest when he began his second term.

8) In 2005, suddenly the word "Bird Flu" was on everyone's lips. It was going to be the next pandemic plague to wipe out humanity. Did you know there hasn't yet been a case of human to human transmission where both parties had working immune systems? He committed the government to purchase 8 billion dollars worth of Tamiflu to combat this "disease". According to WebMD, H5N5 the medical name for Bird Flu had already developed a resistance to Tamiflu. So, he spent 8 billion dollars on a drug that doesn't work, to fight a disease that only exists in Asian birds. Know why? Because Donald Rumsfeld, then Secratary of Defense, was a major shareholder in the company that made the bogus medicine.

9) He smears the name of my religion, by associating his actions with it. George Bush has shown himself to be a liar, a biggot, and a fool- but still claims his actions are Godly.

What it comes down to for me is that I find him to be either stupid or dishonest, and probably both. He's completely lost my trust, and I don't think there's anything he could do to regain it.

Answer 2

This sounds like a sort of "questions" the place you're in seek of for individuals that consider you, no longer in seek of tips. What I certainly have against Bush is that each single element in this us of a is worse than the way Clinton left it. it may no longer have been a foul concept in any respect to assist the Iraqis. Is that why we went? Is that why Bush stated we went? Why no longer help the folk in North Korea? Cuba? China? one hundred different international places the place they have 0 human rights? Is it a three letter be conscious beginning up with O with the help of any possibility? Billions of greenbacks, definite it extremely is BILLIONS with a 'B' meant for Iraq's reconstruction have purely disappeared. i comprehend, Bush very genuinely would not survive those issues. "Fools who did no longer comprehend to stay out of a battlezone"....How deep of you. yet then you certainly weren't in Iraq ingesting at a eating place the place we concept Hussain purely "might desire to" be, so we Bombed it. certainly, history might have the final be conscious. yet purely because of fact each physique is criticized does no longer mean that grievance is often unjustified........

Answer 3

I can't speak for 'everyone', but here's what I have against George W. Bush:
1. He has continually lied to the American people and the U.S. Congress about his motives for war;
2. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, this cretin couldn't have been elected dogcatcher of a canine-free county with out the help of his family's money, power and influence;
3. Bush unconstitutionally and illegally invaded another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the U.S.A., all for the sake of OIL and satisfying his family's personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein;
4. This administration has done more to harm the fragile environment, destroy our planet's delicate ego-system, and ruin this land for future generations than any other administration in history;
5. Insipid economic policies have put American taxpayers TRILLIONS of dollars in debt, something that we'll be paying off for generations to come - AND which will likely result in the worst economic depression ever witnessed in this nation, probably shortly after Bush leaves office;
6. Federal prosecutors have been fired for purely political reasons, and tonight we heard that one prosecutor was ordered to protect the tobacco industry by getting witnesses to change their testimony;
7. Bush is responsible for the deaths of 3,000 people who were in the World Trade Center on 9-11-01, the deaths of 675,000 Iraqis, and the deaths of 3,200 U.S. soldiers (so far), and has yet to be held accountable for his murderous rampage.
There's lots more, but this should 'do' for the time being. Bush is the worst President in U.S. history. -RKO-

Answer 4

He's a fundamentalist Christian and he allows his ridiculous religious beliefs to influence his actions and decisions that effect an entire country – a country with a diverse population with all kinds of different beliefs – a country founded on the principles of religious freedom.
Someone with such beliefs (or delusions) should not be in a position of leadership, anywhere. Having this guy as president is a subtle, but very real threat to the critical separation of church and state.

Answer 5

I don't mean to get personal but I don't like him because he is the reason my Brother is over in Iraq fighting a fight no one can explain! If you ask any person in America why we are in Iraq the only good answer is 9/11!! Is that a good enough reason to send more bodies over there so they can be added to the list of those who have fallen! I can't say that any other politician wouldn't have done the same thing but as Americans we always have to have someone to blame!!!

Answer 6

He's killing our troops! We have been in Iraq longer than WWII, and we didn't have to be there longer than just a bit. He's working to give them a government (like that'll happen) and fighting the people that he's trying to help! He's killing our troops because he doesn't realize that, this time, they DON'T need America shoving freedom down their throats. I mean, it's nice to try, but if they don't want it, just pull out! I have decided that if we don't pull out of Iraq by the Elections, I'm not saying the pledge of allegiance anymore. I'll just pray. THANK GOD THAT BUSH IS OUT THIS YEAR!!!

Answer 7

A lot of winners (Liberals) have everything against Politically Wrong bush simply because he is a retarded fart and nobody is jealous of him.

Answer 8

I'll admit I don't keep up with politics, all I know is that my older brother is in Iraq with the National Guard. They promised him he wouldn't have to go, but because of Bush he had to...and I miss him.

Answer 9

He's smarter than they are and he's a Yale grad. They can't stand someone smarter than they are not to mention liberals are well known liars.

Answer 10

I dunno what others have against him but i don't like him because he has acted very irresponsibly in his role as president. He has been wasteful, encouraged wastefulness, and gotten so much richer from exploiting us and the world on which we live. He has no foresight and no empathy. He has abused his position and does not care about anything except dollars....his dollars, not ours.
