Because people thought Bush the lessor of two evils and now no one is making a move to impeach him because everyone wants to be a follower and not stick their neck out to be a leader. you are fortunate to live in Australia in that the U.N. Human Index Report, which measures nations in terms of medical care, educational opportunities, and adjusted real income, rated you several nations better than this country

Unfortuantly there is no way to recall a president or I am sure that he woulod be out of office. Congressmen have tried to impeach him but have made little to no progress. As to why he was elected, well... in the 2000 election he wasn't who the people wanted and in the 2004 election Bush had no strong opponent. John Kerry is a moron. The U.S. is a very large country and our south for some reason supports Bush. Most well educated people realize Bush for what he is though.

He was reelected because the Democrat party put of a complete idiot as a candidate. In fact, they are very likely to do it again this time around. They look like they are going to nominate Hillary and if not her Obama. They are making horribly bad choices for candidates.
However, you make a misstatement when you say the general public did not want Bush for another term. They elected him, so they must have wanted him more than the alternatives. If the Democrats had actually nominated Howard Dean, I believe the outcome would have likley been different.

Well, that was three years ago. Then, he was relatively popular. The war was going well, we had recently been victorious in Afghanistan, it wasn't so bad.
Now, people are mostly critical of his foreign policy. Although this may seem like a big deal to foreigners, it is generally not what decides elections. Consider your own elections. It is almost always domestic issues that decide elections.

Because the Democrats have lacked viable candidates since Bill Clinton left office. Unfortunately looks like this years crop is another bunch of should have never rans.

I would say its because people realise its not him who is pulling the strings its his advisers, especially military, who operate behind the scenes away from the public eye, these advisers like their presidents just like Bush, stupid enough to believe everything they are told and not ask any questions, still its not much worse than in the UK where Gordon Brown became prime-minister as a result of a deal with Tony Blair and not actually because he was elected in a fair and proper elections.

he still in the office because idiots voted him back in for a second term, so we have to wait for it to expire. I think most of the complaining came AFTER 2004(when he was elected the second time)..and the ears after that, people started to really dislike him. Especially after the whole hurricane katrina thing and this war going on

It's a tough question. Personally, I would much rather of had him then Kerry. The war on terror and all of the other major events during this term are hard to deal with, there is no "correct answer" that everyone will agree with. It just seems that people always want what they can't have.

Our media has been taken over by the mega corps.........So anyone or groups who protest Bush get almost NO attention from them(media).
Look at the 2004 Republican national convention for example...........ALL protesters where kept blocks away from it......so they would get no media coverage.My understanding is that to go to a Bush campaign event you had to sign a statement saying you intended to support him in the election!
A few months ago a couple won $80,000 from the government for wearing anti-Bush t-shirts to a Bush speech..........A speech he was giving about the freedom of speech!

The US is not a parliamentary system. There is no such thing as a 'snap' presidential election. Presidential elections take place every four years. No sooner, and no later.
