Is George W Bush the worst President of all time?

Question

Wow four questions all the same, makes you think...

Anyway, As is my understanding:

George Bush cheated his way into office.
Took long vacations.
Was about to go down as the worst president of all time but 9/11 saved him because the nation understandably needed a leader.
Stopped all flights excepted for the saudis who supposabably did it but because they've invested trillions in the american ecconemy if they were to pull out because one of the royal family was killed it would go t i t s up.
Took away some liberties to fight the war on terror (patriot act).
Took the country to an illegal war.
Lied about the WMDs.
Actually went there for oil.
Continued to tell lies about winning the war even though the solidiers are still fighting.
Somewhere along the line opened the gyntanimo bay prison where people are held without trial because they might be terrorists but probably aren't.

Am I right?

Answer 1

Absolutely the worst, and he didn't stop all flights after 9/11. He let the Bin Laden family fly out of the country as they were guests at his ranch in Texas at the time.
Bush should be charged with crimes against humanity.

To "how would I know";
Check your dates friendd, the BinLaden flight took place while all others were grounded.
The Iraq war was and is illegal, of course no court with any jurisdiction will find otherwise,as we do not go along with the international law, unless it suits our idea's.
It is. against international law for any nation to invade, or occupy for the purpose of changing their leadership.

Answer 2

Well, i feel he was a good president who got alot of bad press. He also had more difficult situations to deal with then most presidents. He gave the women of Afghanistan freedom and put the terrorists and horrible Taliban in check. We need to stop as a country blaming the President for the mishaps of the government we put in place... The movie Fahrenheit 9-11 is a complete bashing of our country and most people look at that as 100% truth. Like I've said before, alot of people didn't like Reagan especially here in Pittsburgh but now he is looked at as a great President. Same with Clinton. I'm sorry but i feel that the world would still be in the same situation if someone else were President. We had faulty intell on Iraq. And any president who was handed this intell would have done the same thing. We have our government to blame for that not our President. Dont forget Clinton bombed Iraq almost on a weekly basis while he was in office...

Answer 3

No, you're not right. The facts are:

He was elected in fair elections twice and the recounts after the fact proved it.

The infamous "Saudi flights" actually took place at the same time the flight ban was lifted for everybody else.

No freedoms were lost due to the Patriot Act ( which incidently required the approval of congress ).

There is nothing illegal about the Iraq war, it followed all the necessary procedures according to US law. Further, no court with any jurisdiction in the matter has ruled it illegal.. because it clearly isn't.

We didn't go into Iraq for oil, if oil was the goal it would have been easier to deal with Saddam like the French and Russians were.

Most sane people would believe that locking up terrorists is a GOOD thing... why would you think otherwise?

Clearly your arguments are based on faulty information and poorly thought out. Try harder.

And no, Bush is not the worst president of all time. He's not even the worst president in recent history.. that "honor" belongs to Jimmy Carter.

Answer 4

{{{Insert uneducated answer with obvious bias to either Democratic or Republican Standpoint here.}}}

Face it people, while he may have f'ed up the middle and poorer classes the people with Money in the Stats LOVE BUSH for obvious reasons. Unfortunatly thats really all that matters. Don't give me that " But we vote fact" the system is incredibly flawed and even though Gore had more than half a million more votes in 2000 he lost. Corporations and money run everything

Is He close minded: In my opinion yes
Has he hurt the US'S image?: yes and no. We may seem like ***** but now the other coutnrys no we arent screwing around. I gurantee you pre-iraq Korea would not have negotiated with us. Did we go about IRaq the wrong way: yes.
Was it nessasarily bad for the US. NO
Despite all his faults i still like Bush simply because he benifits me, Rich WHite men.

If you dont belive me than please explain why we went to Iraq, instead of Saudi Arabia. Wanna know? Because the Saudis give us oil cheaper than Iraqis do. ALL of the 9/11 Terrorists were Saudi yet Magically Iraq has the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" Oil is power. Power is Good. Unethical but good. YOu people act as if Going into IRaq for Oil was a bad thing. Pay 30 bucks a gallon to fill up your hummer than talk.

There is a reason for shades of grey. Not everything in this world is black and white.

You can thumbs down me if you want. In fact it makes me happy knowing that i have more thumbs down than up. Proves that i'm smarter than most people on this site.

He didn't cheat. In this case i would not care as Kerry would have us being ruled by the Muslims by now while he was collecting more Purple hearts..

Answer 8

Spanish born American Philosopher George Santyana once said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Apparently Bush has never even heard of Vietnam. Of course he's the worst president ever!
