Why do so many bash our President of the United States?

Question

is he during something worng or ilegal?

Answer 1

No!!!
It's a very American answer ;-)

But Bush and Cheney deserves more then bashing... a very good whipping wouldn't hearth them ;-)

Answer 2

The buck stops with the president. Any thing that goes wrong in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the US is his responsibility. He does not take responsibility saying he will rely on the military to tell him which way to go. The President is responsible for getting us into the war based on lies to secure the oil supply for the big oil people.

By the end of 2003, despite the war being initially popular, the post-war occupation was losing support from the American public. A November 2003 Gallup poll showed that Bush’s job approval rating had fallen to 50% from a high of 71% at the outset of the war.

Compounding the unpopularity of the war was the fact that no weapons of mass destruction were ever found and claims that Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11 were mostly debunked. August 2005 was the last time any major public opinion poll recorded majority approval of Bush’s job. Negative perceptions of Bush following the slow governmental response to Hurricane Katrina plus the rather weak economy further weighed on his popularity.

Bush is an idiot mostly because he thinks he's actually smarter than the rest of us. He smirks & squirms into the camera as if he's talking DOWN to us, and THAT is what makes him an idiot.

I believe this quote is from Winston Churchill... correct me if I'm wrong. He said, "if you're NOT a liberal when you're 18 you have no heart but if you're still a liberal when you're 30 you have no brain."

Most liberals are either young and inexperienced, or older and want total control over peoples lives the way rich liberals do. I don't think most people want a rich liberal taking care of me from the cradle to the grave. Those are the people who are bashing our President, for the most part.

I disagree with him on many points but I support him overall for trying to do a good job.

Answer 4

Because they are ignorant. We have many that live in a dream world, they are called Democrats, then we have many that live in the real world, and they are called Republicans and Independents. The Democrats don't like Bush because of his policy's, they would like to bring the troops home from Iraq, but have no plan for what happens if we do that, OR they want to redeploy them to other places likeDarfar which is another third world hell hole. The Democrats didn't like the Corporate tax cuts, which created jobs for US workers, they hate Corporations, and at the same time the Democrats want to have more jobs in this country, you can't do both. Democrats listen to jerks like Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Penn, Barbara Streisand, Michael Moore, all people that despise the United states and it's successes, yet most of these people wouldn't survive any other place...Democrats hate Bush, cause Democrats live in a special la la land.

Answer 5

You wrote;

>>>is he during something worng or ilegal?<<<

did you ever hear of the 'No Child Left Behind' Act?

Bush himself said, and I quote...
"Is our children learning?"

well, besides that issue- the is a list of W's promises that have never been kept (such as that one above)
but how about profiteering for his business partners and allowing for highly paid contract mercenaries into Iraq while our troops are being denied many health services? is that legal?

No-bid federal contracts given to cronies like Haliburton-
Oh, and this just came out in the news- the pumps in the lake in New Orleans - after katrina- are from a company in Florida- they contain faulty parts- this company has ties to bush family-

So,
the killing people in Iraq- is it a war- or are "military operations" all done as Bush said? is that truthful?

Katrina- a heckuva job?

Insiders getting government contracts?

>>>
"He promised to 'usher in an era of responsibility,' but instead has presided over an era of fiscal and corporate irresponsibility.

"He promised everyone 'an equal claim on this country's promise,' but instead has waged the most sustained assault on progressive taxation ever.

"He promised to 'change the tone in Washington,' but instead has taken partisanship to new heights.

"He promised 'to confront problems, not pass them on to others,' but instead has passed a greater financial burden onto future generations than has any administration in history.

"He promised a new Republican Party based on 'compassionate conservatism,' but instead has spurred his party to historic depths of corporate cronyism.

"He promised 'to leave this nation greater than we found it,' but instead is well on his way to placing America in greater peril, with more sworn enemies and fewer friends, than any time since the darkest moments of the Cold War.

"He promised to 'uphold the honor and dignity or the office to which I have been elected,' but instead time after time has been willing to say one thing and do another."

I'm glad all this stuff is just ducky with you- to me, it stinks.

Answer 6

That is the $1,000,000 question.
It has become beyond simple political differences it has gone to the point it is psycopathic.

Bush is not the worst or the best president but somehow there is firestorm when you mention his name.

I think people have hated him so much they have forgotten why.

The hate that brews doesn't do this nation any good.

Answer 7

Because they feel the rest of the country is dying to know just how ignorant they are. They wear stupidity as a badge of honor.

Hillary, John, Harry, Nancy, and on down the democratic pike to all the little idiot minions. Guess they feel better advertising the fact they are rude, crude, ignorant people.

I just ignore them.

I don't agree with the President 100%, or with anyone else in Washington 100% for that matter. But I respect them for their work. I just wish they would do more work and less bashing, this country would be a lot better off.

Answer 8

because he's an idiot, because he's a moron, because he's in a job that's way over his head and he doesn't even know it....he's doing everything wrong and breaks the law all the time....if Clinton had done a quarter of what Bush has done, the Republican Congress would have thrown him out way earlier in his term.

Answer 9

The Bush Administration is only the second (Reagan’s was the first) in US History to have high ranking White House officials convicted of planning and committing felony crimes from inside the Oval Office.
-----------------------------------------------------------

According to recent reports by the US State Department and a consensus of America’s 16 Intelligence Agencies, our continuing presence in Iraq is only making the situation worse; our war against terror is increasing terror attacks (and their deadly severity) and producing an entire new generation of anti-American radical Muslims; and has made America and the American people less save than before 9/11.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Bush has claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office. He has made himself arbiter of the Constitution.
