Is George Bush a really bad president or is our country just criticizing him like every president?

Question

Sometimes I wonder if he really is that bad. I'm sure we can say negative things about every president we have ever had.

Answer 1

Yes, Bush is really "that bad." We will be paying for his fiscal irresponsibility for decades, and for the lingering effects of the war for centuries, as generations of Muslims are raised to hate the United States. All because of Bush's decision to repay his cronies with lucrative defense contracts. How much worse can it get? Keeping electing neocons and we'll find out...

Answer 2

Oh Ya !! He is by far the worst president EVER! He left us open to attack by not not securing the the airports after he was told by the CIA in Aug. 2001 that Alqidea was in the US and planed to hijack jets and fly them into tall buildings . He did NOTHING ,well ,he did go on another 2 week vacation. In the six years since 9-11 he still has not secured our borders, He has signed "Fast track "bills that sent millions of jobs out of the country! He has given $Billions in tax brakes to the rich while cutting money for the elderly , disabled ,Even the Veterans! He destroyed our reputation with the rest of the world at a time when the world could have been united against a common enemy. the list is endless, America will look back on bush the way Germany looks back on Hitler... a dark time in our history!

Answer 3

Going to war is the most critical decision a President can make. While America was needed to take action as a result of 9/11, there ended up being utterly no justifiable reason to enter Iraq, and, few men were sent into Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al Qaeda were located.

Answer 4

sure!!! easily. shall we expect of roughly this for a minute... shall we are saying that contained in us of a of us of a a great many gangs or american terrorist communities or maybe a political chief or worse, the Mofia broke out and became attacking us(human beings) and we as an entire would desire to no longer stop the killings of innocents and we've been being victimized in our very own usa. Your mom, Dad, new child or pal became between the harmless victims brutally murdered; wouldnt you prefer another usa to return in and help us eleminate those communities? i think of so. GOD BLESS GEORGE BUSH for status up and helping those harmless, oppressed people who have been being dealt with terriblly and noone to help them. i'm hoping and Pray that "IF"our usa became ever below siege in this way Iraq and our allies would not batt a watch and are available keep us.

Answer 5

No president has ever had such abysmal approval ratings. He is by far one of the least popular presidents in American history, even though we criticize all of them.

However, I disagree with anyone claiming that he is the worst president ever. He may be bad, but at least he's an honest man. I'll give him that. Whenever people think he's lying, or he states something which is untrue, I'm quite certain he's simply been misinformed by those beneath him. In fact, I believe he makes the top 50%, but that's because America has a history of such terrible presidents:
George Washington, Calvin Coolidge, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan...

Sort of paints an ugly picture for the voting masses who refuse to oppose the two-party system which inevitably seems to put two puppet parties of the same ideology as front runners. Most Democrat opponents of Bush, such as Madame Clinton, voted in favor of the very thing that has made Bush so damn unpopular in the first place (the Iraq War). In their defense, they claim that they were lied to with false intelligence, but so was George W. Bush! The fact of the matter is that the VAST MAJORITY OF THE PLANET could tell it was lies, so the Democrats have no excuse.

They're all a bunch of Republocrats.

In conclusion, Bush is Bad, but at least he's no Rudy Giuliani. Now that man is pure evil!

Answer 6

I don't like his policies and I don't like hypocrites or at least hypocrisy that follows party lines, I remember when George W Bush embarrassed his dad and Pres. Regan when he got busted with cocaine, why doesn't anyone remember that?



Bush has said that he did not use illegal drugs at any time since 1974 ([12]), but he has declined to discuss whether he used drugs before 1974 ([13]).

A conversation between Bush and an old friend and author, Doug Wead, touched on the subject of use of illegal drugs. In the taped recordings of the conversation, Bush explained his refusal to answer questions about whether he had used marijuana at some time in his past. “I wouldn’t answer the marijuana questions,” Bush says. “You know why? Because I don’t want some little kid doing what I tried.” When Wead reminded Bush that the latter had publicly denied using cocaine, Bush replied, "I haven't denied anything."

In a biography of Bush, Fortunate Son (ISBN 1-887128-84-0), James Hatfield investigated claims that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession and that he had the record expunged; Hatfield said he found corroboration from three people close to the Bush family. Bush called Hatfield's book "totally ridiculous" but declined to discuss whether he had used drugs before 1974. [14]. Critics have pointed out the sources for the book are unnamed and the facts uncorroborated. Four days after its publication the book's publisher, St. Martin's Press, discovered that Hatfield had been previously convicted of attempted murder and spent five years in jail. When faced with the allegations Hatfield initially denied them but later admitted they were true. St. Martin's recalled the book and mothballed others. Hatfield pointed out that, before the Bush campaign brought pressure to bear, St. Martin's had statedthat the book had been "carefully fact-checked and scrutinized by lawyers".

Answer 7

He is the only president in at least 100 years that started a war, the other wars we entered after the fighting had started. and we just took one side. Preemptive war is uniquely Bush. The war in Iraq was a war of choice, and Bush made a choice that few if any other American politicians would have made. The fact that congress did not stop him reflect badly on them. but Bush can not escape responsibility by blaming congress for not stopping him.

Answer 8

He is REALLY and TRULY awful... one of the two worst in the last 50 years...

The other one, some will say is Reagan but I think it is Nixon.

Reagans worst attribute was just Reaganomics and nobody takes that seriously anymore (except Rupert Murdoch). Reagan's 2nd worst attribute was ignoring the AIDS crisis and dismissing it as "a gay thing that he wished would just go away".

But Nixon... oh let me count the ways that man was EVIL.
In fact, if you've seen Michael Moore's film "Sicko" then you know exactly what I mean.

Answer 9

No, he really is a bad president. I'm sure he is a great guy to hang with and have a few beers with, but his administrations foreign and economic policies are horrible.

Answer 10

I really believe that Bush's intentions were never truly for the best of America. I think that he is selfish and it shows in how our country is being run and in how our relationships with other countries have changed for the worst. In my opinion Bush is in this for his power trip.
