What's so bad about Bush?

Question

1. He supposedly lied to us about iraq: he went off intelligence reports that the CIA provided, so the CIA lied to us. And call me crazy, but didn't Mrs. Bill Clinton look at the same reports and vote for the war?

2. He has supposedly destroyed our economy: has anyone stopped to consider that just maybe 9/11 affected it, enron, or all of the natural desaster that have been going on? and don't even ask how the disasters have an affect on the economy

3. He has supposedly killed hundreds of people: if people are talking about soldiers, all presidents have had servicemen die in some sort of combat while they are in office. If people mean civilians, tell me on conflict anywhere that civilans haven't been killed. and hey, clinton has "killed" too. he didn't give soldiers in somalia sufficient equipment to finish the job. he didn't help the Northern Alliance enough to destroy the Taliban, who have killed thousands in afghanistan and the US

the question is at the top genius

he's an idiot? ok, WHY?

Answer 1

Nothing is wrong with him. The way I look at it, though death is terrible, more than over 6,000 people died on the Beaches of Normandy - one day of fighting - While less than 3,400 died in this whole war within Iraq. Also, look at old Abraham Lincoln, many people disliked him in his time, but he has become one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history. ALSOOOOO, you know what chemical and biological weapons are considered? They are considered WMDs, and guess what - we found em' in Iraq. Go figure, I think you guys owe Mr. Bush an apology. Oh yea, one final point. Our economy is doing great, factor 9-11 into this equation, I think he is 10x the president Bill Clinton ever was.

Answer 2

what's so bad about him is his smug attitude and his total hypocricy as a Christian. He was born in Connecticut went to Harvard and Yale, son of a former President, grandson of an oil magnate, but gave this impression that he was a kind of cowboy outsider. Reagan successfully portrayed this image, he was an actor. But something about Bush seems phony.

I don't know if he himself lied to us about Iraq, but before 9/11 happened Cheney, Rumsfield and the rest of the gang had already planned on invading Iraq. After the attack on the WTC and Pentagon, it was just a matter of completely fabricating a case to invade. They stretched all kind of connections, all of which ended up being false. So that wasn't so much Bush but his surrounding Cabinet.

It's funny you mention Enron when Ken Lay is personal friends with the Bush family. Bush called him "Kenny Boy."
Dick Cheney and Ken Lay had closed door meetings as Cheney was in the process of writing up the energy policy.
But no one says he destroyed the economy. It's more like mortgaging the future. Clinton handed him a balanced budget. Now its totally out of control. The War in Iraq is climbing towards a trillion dollars, more and more people will need help paying for medical expenses as the baby boomer generation retires and gets old. Yet he cut taxes. No President ever cut taxes while they waged a very costly war.

When the U.S. went into Bosnia under Clinton, there were 0 American soldier casualties.

I think we should be in Iraq, but I think this President messed up big time. It will take years to recover our reputation around the world and even though the economy is ok now, the future looks bleak.

Answer 3

His administration single handedly put an end to the thing is swears he is protecting...freedom. This whole Iraq war is to raise his oil stocks up in price and make money off it. He knew there was never any terrorists in Iraq before the invasion, he lied to us. Every time he mouths off to an oil rich nation, he makes money of it. This is also why he gives oil companies huge tax breaks and has done next to nothing about global warming and trying to end our dependence on oil. Since he's been president, the world HATES the USA, even our allies are questioning the motives of this nation. I can't think of a single good thing he's done since he's been president, I think he's the worst president we ever had! He's a liar, a cheat, a thief and a killer...he should be impeached, and his little Chaney too!

Answer 4

He has shown poor judgement and has been incapable of following through on his pledges.

For example, after 9/11, he said he would "leave no place to hide for the terrorists". He had the complete support of the people of the US and invaded Afghanistan going after Al-Queda. Then at some point when bin Laden got away he shifted the focus to Saddam and Iraq. Now Osama is still out there somewhere. Aymin Zawahiri is still out there. The Taliban are a resurgent force in Afghanistan, and GW has taken his eye off the ball.

Try another example: The Medicaid Prescription drug program. It is way to complex and is actually designed to maximize $$ & profit for drug companies. Americans pay more for drugs than people in other countries and the program prevents the importation and purchase of drugs from other countries. This is not in the best interests of the elderly users of the program. It is in the best interests of the drug companies.

Try the economy and taxes. Studies show the rich getting more and more of the wealth of the country. and this is not a mistake. It is a direct result of the type of tax plans and the implementation of the laws by government entities like the SEC. Or consider the effect of the ATM in the tax code. It is now biting into upper middle class income.

Consider his lack of vision and leadership. One of his first actions as President was to send everyone a check for $300. The government surplus was erased, as he claimed it was YOUR $$. n If he had any vision other than to stay in power, he could have returned the $$ to people with a directed program, like to give rebates for like maybe rebates for installing renewable energy resources....which leads to ....

He is actually promoting the shift in global power to the OPEC nations; which will undermine the US as a world power. We need to stop our addiction on foreign petroleum, and GW is clueless about how to make this happen. It is amazing that the advocates of "global warming" actually have proposed pprograms that cut our dependence on foreign oil (even if you don't believe in global warming) and GW fights them.

GW takes input from nobody. He never admits his mistakes.
He is going to be proven to have been the worst President ever. I haven't mentioned the erosion of traditional American values, or his promotion of poilitical cronies who are incompetant, or his failure in every business venture he ever took on, or his promotion of the use of torture, or or or...ugh.
disgusting.

Answer 5

1. You're not crazy. Hilary voted for the war but the only info she had (and others that have since admitted they regret their vote) was the crap that was fed by the "intelligence" that has since been pr oven wrong.
2. The middle class is vanishing. The wealthy are getting wealthier (check out the profits from oil and pharmaceutical companies for example). There are MORE living in EXTREME poverty now than ever before.
3. Thousands of American soldiers have died. For what? Did we catch bin laden? Didn't think so.

Most people are concerned about what's going on now .Not what happened in past administrations. We need answers and we need closure to this horrible war.

Answer 6

Obama is in all probability a reliable guy at coronary heart, and is in all probability attempting to do what he thinks is the main appropriate element. the project is that he had no concept what the job replaced into like, and he's looking out now that he has it. at times i think of he wakes up at evening questioning "Why did I settle for the nomination?". there have been many noticeably qualified black those that i could have gladly voted for had they run, yet in all probability by intelligence, experience, or some mix of the two, chosen to no longer run. the project with superstars is that the better they fly, the harder they fall, and Obama is now looking this out. except he can pull some thing out of his hat, he's plunging in the direction of earth at optimal speed, with out parachute in sight.

Answer 7

Hes an Idiot. 1. CIA is part of the government that he runs and is in charge of. Point to Bush. Hillary Clinton voted to go to war when there was a "threat" that Saddam was making weapons on mass destruction.

2. He had nothing to do with the economy. Its always up and down. He just created an excuse to go to war on every middle Eastern nation that housed "terrorist".
3. You an idiot

Answer 8

I'll just argue one of your points. The Bush administration manipulated the CIA information to get the results they wanted. All the proof you need is to look at the Scooter Libby trial regarding Valerie Plame.

Why do you think Colin Powell resigned his position as Secretary of State? They made him lie to the UN.

None of this is made up.

I voted for W, I felt it was better to let the person who started the mess in Iraq finish it. Obvious now that was mistake.

Answer 9

Your right about everything you said. You left out the fact that he cut our taxes. I am not rich. not even middle class and i pay thousand less in taxes each year. He did this wile increasing revenue.

The problem with Bush is.. He represents my party. He had the best oppertunity to do a lot of good in over 40 years ( having a Republican congress) and he blew it.

Answer 10

No, I do not believe he has done all those things, what I believe is he is Nixon reincarnated. He is out of touch with the American people, and has his own agenda. I know the economy is very good, I know he has not killed anyone, I know he acted on what intelligence was available to him. But I do not think he has good advisers (like Nixon) and has too many pots on the fire (like Nixon).
This is just one man's opinion. I do not insult so I hope no one will insult me, if so, so be it.
