Why are so many people against George W. Bush?

Question

I have things I like and things I dislike about him but he's not as bad as people make him out to be.
I can say I disagree with the No Child Left behind act because it hurts inner city schools.
I can say as an American and a USMC Vet there should have been a plan and projected end date to slowly bring troops back sooner.
But there so much more good, thanks to Bush more than 750 planned terror attacks on the U.S. failed. There are tons of terrorist captured and in jail now thanks to him.

But I hear people blamming him for Hurricane Katrina. Come on, that's rediculous you can't blame him for a storm.

People act like he's Hitler or something.

I think people need to cut the man some slack. We could be living in Cuba and go to jail for badmouthing the president. Voice your opinions that's fine but to compare Bush to Hitler is just wrong. I've read that on Y!Answers too.

Answer 1

People don't know what they want. When the sky is raining with fire they will change their tune so fast that they will get whiplash. Then they will be sobbing and crying and asking why, WHY didn't we just accept that we can't have everything exactly how we want it?

Answer 2

The only thwarted terror attacks I've heard about turned out to be something else. But if you say there were 750, I'd sure like to see a link and read about that.

You sound much more intelligent than to believe anybody blames Bush for Hurricane Katrina. Apparently you didn't watch TV the whole week AFTER the hurricane or you would be well aware of what he was blamed for. As Americans watched, people died of dehydration, rape, lack of medication, etc, while help waited on the outskirts of town due to the appointment of his friend the horse trainer to lead the DHS.

Pres. Bush didn't bother to go through proper channels to take care of business after 911. This doesn't lead to trust.

Answer 3

I think alot of it is, he massacres his speeches. It makes him appear unintelligent which of course is unfair to him because some of the smartest people I know are not very good at speaking. Also he is a republican (as am I) and supposed to be a conservative but he spends money like a drunken sailor (excluding the war in Iraq) and that is very discouraging to me. I think the 3rd thing is... he panders to the far right way too much. It's not that these people don't have a right to their opinion they most certainly do but I don't believe some of these things should be for the government to decide. And that gets the far left all fired up. (Of course it dosen't take much for that to happen.) Sometimes I think people just want to keep things stirred up and they don't look at the big picture of what would have happened if we hadn't gone to Iraq. Yeah, I'm with you on the Hurricane Katrina thing too. No one is perfect and no one could have predicted that storm and I am tired of people who think it's the taxpayers job to pay for everything. Look at all the money that was donated just to go in some crooks pocket. What a shame that there are such evil minds at work all the time. That levee could have been fixed 5 or 6 presidents ago but it happened on G.W's watch so of course it's his fault.ha ha. My question is since the government didn't come through when they first realized the levee was in trouble why the community itself didn't band together and figure out a way to get it fixed. Why always blame the government? Because once people realize they can vote money out of the public treasury they start to fail to do for themselves. I don't mean to sound heartless because what happened was terrible but geez I think it's just the plain truth. Good question.

Answer 4

Please document that 750 planned terrorist attacks have failed.
I have never heard anyone blame Bush for Katrina however I have heard him blamed for failure to respond. Have you ever read any first hand accounts of the horror that was the aftermath of Katrina?
As for being like Hitler his Grandpa was very buddy buddy with Fascist Germany, he almost went to jail as a traitor, do a Google search on Prescott Bush, maybe it is in the DNA. Keeping people in jail without charging them and denying legal counsel is very anti-American.
Placing Alberto Gonzalez in the position of Attorney General to OK torture is the point at which many stopped "cutting him some slack"! Many still fear they will go to jail for badmouthing Bush. All his appearances are completely controlled to keep opposition voices from being heard. Recently a court awarded two people who were arrested for wearing anti-Bush tee shirts in a protest compound outside one of Georgie's appearances 80K in damages. He lives in a glass bubble.

Answer 5

this isn't all Bush's fault. He truly enable the worst financial supply way in 80 years ensue. most of the fault are Congressional Republicans, who oppose tries to recuperate the financial gadget via public sector employment and stimulus spending, like Reagan and Bush the two did. probably you're in a position to prefer to exhibit how Obama maintains to be campaigning against Bush interior the previous human beings comprehend all of this Bush-blaming grievance is truly an excuse to ignore approximately with regard to the gross incompetence of the appropriate team of Republicans whom we enable run the country and the indisputable actuality that Romney needs to repeat those Republicans' rules.

Answer 6

1. Totally ignored the Constitution
2. Lied to get us into a war
3. United the world, against us.
4. Has not brought the mastermind of 9/11 to justice
5. No Child Left Behind (enough said on that one)
6. Keeps us dependent on a nonrenwable resource, instead of helping the environment.

Gee, I can think of one reason to hate Bush.

Answer 7

He is the war monger that dragged the UK into Iraq and caused 7/7 in London.

Furthermore isnt it about time we, the British stopped paying back for what the Americans did for us in the Second World War.

Complacency was one of the factors of 9/11, the same as Pearl Harbour before that.

Answer 8

Where do I start... first and foremost, I lost my friend to a roadside bomb in Fallujah... I'm paying almost $1.50 more per gallon than before he was in office...there is over a trillion more in debt now (Clinton had brought down the debt)... my retirement account really hasn't grown that much... and I have not had a raise since 2001, despite his claims to our economy growing (growing for the wealthy no doubt... I make less than 80K a year)... oh, and everything else costs more... I can no longer put money into savings like before when I would get a raise every 2 years... Is there something I've left out ???

Answer 9

Nobody blames him for a hurricane; they blame him for not seeing to it that there was a speedy and appropriate response to help the stranded people. Would you have liked to wait four days without food and water to be rescued if your house was flooded? Two years later, not much has even been rebuilt. Does that seem OK to you?

I can tell you that he is the worst president this country has ever had. You want to give him all the credit for no more attacks on our soil, when in fact it could just as easily be that they haven't tried to attack us. There were eight years between the first and second World Trade Center attacks.

This guy has gotten us into an unnecessary and horrible war, engaged in warrantless wiretapping and torture, shredded our civil rights and key provisions of the Constitution that you supported as a Marine and ruined our reputation with the rest of the world.

Answer 10

What about not closing the borders and giving every thing to the illegals and the cost to the taxpayers .
What about the SPP ( North American Union )

Lying about the invation Iraq .
He has done so much danage to this country that it will take 8 yr to undo .
He doesn't believe in the Constitution and won't follow it . He called it , " Just another damn piece of paper " .
This is our USA Constitution that we're talking about ,the one that gives us our right's and freedom and he doesn't want to follow and obey it !!!!!

Answer 11

Why do you think the Bush/Hitler comparison so wrong.. think about it.. there must have been people who liked Hitler too.. altho i can't imagine it.. but then, i can't understand anyone liking Bush either.
The man who lied us into a war...and because of pride and stupidity is just keeping our troops there to die...now what was it you said we should like about him?????
