I don't care what political party you are from. I just want to know what Americans are thinking? Please feel free to give details as to why or why not! Thank you!

No. He's either screwed up or neglected: Iraq, Afghanistan, Health Care, Education, National Security, the Economy, American Jobs...

Overall, I am happy with the job President Bush as done over the years. When you take the political spin, and the "hate Bush" mentality away, you see some interesting things appear.
The tax cuts that Bush has supported, has in fact allowed me to bring home more of my paycheck. I am better off now, than at any time in my past. As a bonus, history has shown, and it is true today, that when tax rates go down, revenue to the government increases.
This country was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001 by extreme islamic factions out of the Middle East. This was not the first time the U.S. was attacked by these people. There was the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the attack on the USS Cole in (I believe) 1997, and other events which escape me right now. But over the years, there have been several other attacks credited to Al-Queda.
Of course, Osama Bin Laden is still running free, but he is running. Had President Clinton took Bin Laden when he had the chance, things may be different now, but that is water under the bridge.
I don't agree with Bush's stand on illegal immigration. You see, I have a question about illegal immigration: What part of "illegal" do people not understand?
President Bush agrees with my stand on several issues, and overall I am happy with the job he is doing. This is how I base my votes in elections. If the candidate agrees with my views, then that is who may get my vote. I don't have to agree with their views, but as I said, Bush seems to agree with me.

...happy with the way the president is doing his job?
I am happy with the way he has clung to his beliefs that we should help Iraq. I feel an early withdrawal will create an enemy of the Iraqi people- and we sorely need an ally there.
I am not happy with the way he is allowing Democrats to dodge the issue of building the fence, even though it will not have the intended results.
I am happy he has not pandered to the health care issue. It will create more taxes, a much larger deficit, and a means for the government to control individual freedoms by denying care unless you do what they want, regardless.
I am not happy that he sometimes sounds like an absolute idiot, but I am happy he isnt John Kerry, Al Gore, or someone not taking our national security seriously.

he is not a great president, has made some serious errors, but over all has tried to do what is right, problem is it is easier to jump on the ban wagon of "I hate Bush"...than to really think!

Of course not! We're at war and thousands of jobs have been, and still are being cut. But hey, he stole one election, and then tricked the red states into thinking he was awl'rite!

Not happy. But that's all I have to say about it.
