Let's be fair here.
He has no qualities unless you consider lying a quality.

And, if this site doesn't agree with you there are many more covering similar details. Like it or not, these are things all Americans need to know.
I give him no respect at all. If he ever deserved respect his tenure as president certainly proved otherwise.
He is a war criminal even if just for creating a war of aggression.

I don't like the fact that he stands by his core beliefs. I hate that he won't change. It would be great if he knew what he was doing. It would be great he was wise. I wish he would veto a pork spending bill. I wish he wasn't so obtuse. I think he would be cool to have a beer with and clown around. If only he would go off the wagon. If only he would change.

I do not respect him. He has one set of values for himself and another for the rest of the world. I don't like how partisan he has been or how self-serving.
About the only thing I like about him is dog Barney. I used to like his wife, but now she has an anesthesized look about her that suggest she and Betty Ford have something in common.

Sorry, but I see no 'qualities' in President Bush, only flaws. I believe him to be a spoiled rich kid who has always gotten his way, thanks to his family's influence and money.
He failed at virtually every business venture he ever tried, but his family bailed him out.
He failed to earn his college diploma; instead, his family's wealth and influence 'earned' him his degree.
He wanted to fly an Air Force fighter jet, so his family arranged to get him the Reserves just long enough to accomplish that 'dream'. Then he went AWOL without consequence, choosing to work on a family friend's political campaign instead of completing his tour of duty.
He has accepted no accountability for the 675,000 Iraqis and 3,800 U.S. soldiers who have died so a handful of his wealthy elitist friends can become wealthier.
He lied to Congress, hoodwinked the American people, and conned our valiant troops into believing there was honorable purpose in attacking Iraq, when - in fact - he was only 'getting even' with Saddam Hussein and settling a Bush family personal vendetta that dates back to Desert Storm.
He has prostituted this nation's good name for the sake of billions of dollars in profits for the Carlyle Group and Halliburton, BOTH corporations of which have direct ties to the Bush-Cheney White House.
What some call his 'determination' is nothing more than stubborn bull-headedness in refusing to end this wicked, unconstitutional, illegal, unjustifiable, immoral 'war' against another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States.
Bush has virtually voided the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which now allows him to declare martial law without even having to seek Congressional agreement - in fact, Bush doesn't even have to inform Congress of his actions.
The number-one non-military 'benchmark' Bush insists the Iraqi Parliament must meet is the passing of a law which surrenders 2/3rds of Iraq's oil fields to foreign oil corporations - which proves that this insane 'war' was all about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING from its very first day. **
Bush [and all of Congress - Republicans and Democrats alike] knows that this 'war' will not be over anytime soon. In fact, the U.S. will occupy Iraq for decades - perhaps even generations - until we've sucked every drop of OIL from its sands. That's WHY we're building the largest U.S. embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad overlooking the 'new' Iraqi puppet government installed by the Bush administration. That's WHY Halliburton is building fourteen (yes - 14!) permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq. We have no intention of leaving Iraq, no concern about bringing democracy to that country, and no interest in establishing peace in the Middle East.
REPEAT: This obscene 'war' is all about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. Nothing else.
How can anyone respect an elected leader of any nation who so blatantly defies his people, runs rip shod over his country's Constitution, and flagrantly violates the laws of his land??
Bush will go down in history as this country's WORST President - to date.
Surely Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked, blood-stained corner of Hell for Bush and all his greedy friends who have orchestrated this vulgar chapter in American history. May God DAMN them all!! -RKO- 09/23/07

I don't respect him because he is far too stubborn and has a refusal to listen to other viewpoints. I feel his stubborness is very detrimental when coming to running the country.
I can't find any qualities about him that I like.

I have not one iota of respect for him. He is dishonest, and close-minded, and a liar. Oh, and did I mention he should have been impeached for war crimes a long time ago. He is a snake.

Well I don't agree with his policies and beliefs, but he's not a flip flopper. When he comes up with a bad idea he sticks by it til it kills him. I like that in a president.

Bush has zero redeeming qualities, and, I have absolutely no respect for him. I do not respect liars who launch unnecessary wars.
