Why is everyone so hard on Bush?

Question

I mean half the people who critisise him arent qualified too. I mean ok i know this sounds dumb but really think about it... Ok its like Iraq is being bullied and the U.s. is some kids watching. What are we supposed to do just leave them alone? i mean you dont just stand by and watch someone get hurt especailly if you have the strength to help them. I mean why is everyone so mad. I mean im sorry about people's parents in the army but this is what they chose! They commited themselves to helping the country whenever it is needed. Bush is a good christian man with good morals.

Actually my dad is into Govermental Affairs and i have personally talked to and seen the president so yes i am and so is my dad

i am qualified to make that assement thank you

Well the people b*tched about calling it the holidays and not christmas! & what would you suggest then people....would u make a good president. What would u do in the situation? i personally know President Bush and me and him have had this talk before...

Well u can have an opinion but dont act like jsut because you say it that its right. i mean you do have to be qualified to make a at least good opinion. If you dont know anything about the Government or about the Presdient or even his side....then you shouldnt make an opinoin because well it wouldnt make sense and you wouldnt have all of the facts

Answer 1

They criticize him because the main stream media does. If moveon.org or the daily kos says everything is his fault, then it MUST be true. It's called brainwashing and BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

Answer 2

I don't agree with everything that Bush has done but I do feel that it is wrong for Us to keep bashing him for the decisions he has made to keep us safe. The 911 attack was five years in the making and the terrorist were plotting to attack us long before that. The question is, where was the previous president and what was he doing to keep our homeland safe. He had the opportunity to take Osama out years before and wouldn't. It's a known fact that we are at war and I would much rather fight it over there than over here, if we pull out of Iraq at this time you can bet another attack will happen sooner than we think. This is a psychological war and they would like nothing more than for us to all turn on each other and our leaders.

Answer 3

No. Leaving them alone would be irresponsible as was selling this war on so many lies and running from the fight against a man who murdered so many on our soil to pusue a bully-like fight (I refer to the lies told me by people I supported, and who failed me and the nation}. The "standing by and watching" argument is the exact one I was making before the war (i.e. Why not just say Iraqs leader is a despot [which would have been accurate] and drop all the w.m.d. and 9/11 connection talk [which there was some question about] and go on a rock solid foundation instead of risking a loss of credibility on all these dramatics?} It was irrational at best to take this position. As for people's parents in the army, one assumes you mean parents of people in the army. You seem pretty flip about sacrafices made by our nations finest and most courageous while at our greatest hour of need and whom VOULENTEERED their services. As far as the choices made, the soldiers may have a different view. I have several customers who stress in ways I don't even try to immagine for fear of making assumptions without the experience that they are having directly in their lives to influence me. That would be ignorant. It's easy to say "They commited their lives", but as I stated earlier, that is a rather flip interpretation of the true devotion and commitment these giants among us might have had resolve to make. A resolve not found in very many. Just check the numbers on enlisted men.
As to the good christian man with good morals argument. I've known people as such, and the funny thing is that they or anyone else need not profess this as it seems to be understood almost, if not immediately. It does not speak well to morality or faith if you must resort to blowing your own horn, and I as many others have heard this self-proclamation many times. People of high moral fiber, I beleive, are averse to such salesmanship. For example: the same has been said of Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert, and more recently, moral pillar himself Ted Haggard, as well as any con-man anyone has ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
I noticed that you namelessly dropped your dads name in further comments. Get a clue, my dad was a psychologist, this hardly qualifies me as a counsellor or therapist.
As to the circle in which you insist you are aquainted, one is somewhat taken aback by your obvious bias and unimpressed that one who rides this power wave is spendig time getting opinion on-line. It just seems a little hollow that Yahoo answers is a think tank for a person with such influence. For that matter, I hope this claim is untrue, for if it is not, you surely now see why people would be filled with dismay.

Answer 4

what r u like 6? im 14 and i can grasp this. let me tell you something little girl. i am going to say this real slow, so listen carefully. i know that if you are still defending this idiot president, then there is something seriously wrong with you. why is everyone so hard on bush? you really dont know? HELLO!!!! because hes the president of the U.S., and can't keep the peace with anything! hes a border-line dictator. and i swear, if you tell me that i do nt have the right to make that assessment, then so help me God. oh yea? Iraq IS BEING BULLIED? BY WHOM!? bush is the one who said lets go to war with a country in the general direction of Saudi Arabia, and blame the war on 9/11. well ill have you know missy, that the reason we r at war is because this country was attacked, but not by Iraq. it was most of the terrorists were Saudi Arabian. I'm not saying all Saudis r bad, just the people who hit the twin towers. the reason we aren't at war with them is b/c bush senior is in the oil business with them. so you tell me, bush decides to go in there and do what? he chose to go to war with some random country, turn their country upside-down and turn the lives of their citizens in side out, for what!? please, do enlighten me! you seem to think that you have all the answers. why? b/c you met the stupid monkey? awww how cute. it would mean more to me if i cared. oh and you r probably going on and on about hes such a good christian, well listen here sister, it doesnt take a good christian to run a country!!! it takes a politician, because this country is suppoed to hav freedom of religion,however that is impossible if their is one religion leading it. oh silly me!! i suppose that u r also excited that bush tried to get rid of abortion, and with that he is taking away the womans right to choose what happens with her own body, not the government. u kno what? i bet he could take away ur right to vote and speak freely, and you would still be behind him 100% of the way. [u r quite simple arent you!?]

p.s you do not seem particularly bright, so if you do not know what something here means b4 you go off and tell me that i have no clue whats going on in the world, go to www.dictionary.com .

YOU ARE INCREDIBLY IGNORANT. have a nice day.

Answer 5

Wow!! he still has you with the christian game card. If that works I'll say that I'm a christian then you can make me the president. Lets think does a moral and christian man lie to an entire country to attack a country. If attacking Iraq was such an awesome idea why did no other major country want to help. Why do most countries now hate us? Why did we not find any weapons of mass destruction hold on wait I already answered that he lied. Why do we have the worst budget deficit in the history of our once great nation. Why did he ruin our legal system. I'm sure your proud of how he stopped that evil practice of abortion too huh. Oh yeah and he did an awesome job in stopping stem cell research which could save thousands of lives. So now I've made just a few a millions of points that could be made I'll answer your main question people are hard on him because he is an idiot that has his own personal interests and not the nation and our country is based on our opinions that's why we vote. So go ahead and sail away with him in his ship named idiot in the sea or moron. At one point i thought he was just ignorant but now I know he's just absurdly stupid.

Answer 6

Yes Bush is good here's a few thing he's done in the last 7 years
destroy education

ban all kind of party
explicit curfew in every city

Hey! he's the American version of Stalin, Castro or Chavez, one of the 7 plagues of Egypt a disgrace for humanity
the damage his Klan has made in the USA will not be easy to fix.

Answer 7

OK, I thought about it...
Iraq was not being bullied, it was a sovereign nation and the US invaded based upon manufactured evidence and against the advice of the UN Security Council. One could argue that the Iraqi people were bullied under Saddam, which is true but that wasn't the reason the US invaded either. Perhaps you might find this article interesting:

Answer 8

LOOK...

Is the USA planning to go to war with Iran to preserve the Petrodollar Cycle?
This video is long but really interesting. Also will the world be a safer and more peaceful place after the US goes bankrupt and is no longer a Superpower.

Answer 9

Bad foreign policy, bad economic policy, uncharismatic, bad environmental policy, takes vacations in times of crisis. He spends taxpayer's dollars in ways that only benefit lobbies. He uses propaganda and appeals to the Christian right with empty promises. He lies, deceives, and generally shows himself to be an immoral person while parading as a "good Christian".

Your point about Iraq is completely mute. It is generally acknowledged, even by military personal that going to Iraq was purposeless, and that Bush scapegoated the CIA when everyone with a brain knew that it was a mistake to invade it from the get-go (yes, I remember debating the decision to invade Iraq in high school, even kids knew we wouldn't find any WMDs, so you can bet Bush knew as well). Bush was upset when the truth was finally leaked: CIA reports stated unequivocally that we were creating terrorists through our presence in Iraq. America is less safe thanks to this war.

Since Bush has become president:

-Surplus demolished
-Huge deficit created
-Our image in the world destroyed
-Thousands killed in Iraq with no true pretense for invasion
-Environmental problems that are likely to cause huge problems in the near future have not been addressed, and in fact have been exacerbated

Other interesting facts:

Bush's spiritual adviser turned out to be the biggest hypocrite in modern history: a man who made a fortune speaking against homosexuality, while all the while he was cheating on his wife with a male prostitute and snorting crystal methamphetamine.

Bush criticized his opponent's war record despite being a draft dodger and MIA during most of his stint the Air National Guard. Another example of hypocrisy that shows his lack of moral fiber.

Bush has a record of running companies into the ground, sort of like he did with the US treasury.

Bush ran on an isolationist platform. Again, he is a hypocrite.

Bush ran on a "trickle-down" economic platform, the same one Hoover ran on just prior to the Great Depression.

In an interview prior to the 2004 election, Bush was asked about the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden. Bush responded "I dont know. I don't really think about him." He never cared about rectifying 9/11, he only cared about using it to push his own agenda at the detriment of the American people.

Did I answer your question well enough? You seem savy enough, and interested in politics. While you're sitting down reading this, ask yourself: Why aren't YOU harder on George W. Bush?

Answer 10

The fool is a delusional narcissist who had to steal his first election. Before we " helped " Iraq, that country had dependable supplies of electricity and drinking water. Tens of thousands of innocent people have died due to Bush's war.
Don't forget his attack on the Constitution and American civil rights. Wait until he attacks Iran and " helps " them too. And its the height of irony that Bush is detroying his own party.
At this point, there is something about him that everyone can criticize. Liar, thief, con artist, warmonger, oppressor, torturer, ...yup , a good Christian man.

Answer 11

Bush is the worse president we've ever had. Ever. He's politicized the Justice Department and divided our country into two factions, Liberals and Conservatives, when we need most to be connected as Americans. He pre-emptively started a war in Iraq with fear (remember the "smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud" fear tactic he used?) and constantly uses 9/11, an attack on all America, for political gain! further dividing America.
