Based on poll numbers, no.\n\nBut that's irrelevant. He's doing the job we NEED him to do.

I'm torn between believing that he himself is doing a bad job or his administration as a whole is doing a bad job.\n\nHe has faced hard times, but so did Abraham Lincoln. I don't know how Bush would handle a civil war, but that is besides the point because no one in the US would actually take to arms against their government, most people just want to live their lives without having to worry about the rest of world. Like before WWII.\n\nIn order to be in power these days you have to cater to a lot of different people, also known as special insterest groups. You have to cater to them because you need the money to put yourself in power. It'd be hard for a person who was down to earth with middle america to put themselves in power because they probably would have enough money to pay for the ads, or anything else to campaign for that matter. So we are left with the rich and the rich people's buddies to rule over our country. And since the rich only want to get richer, they take care of their own. They call oil black gold for a reason. I'm tempted to think that Bush might have wrapped himself up too tightly in special interest security blankets.\n\nBut that is besides the point. I don't believe that Bush himself is responsible for the bad things that go on in this country, I think his underlings had a lot to do with it as well, because they ALL have some sort of special interest group to support, whether it be energy companies or defense contractors. \n\nAlso, we basically have one political party in charge right now, so they can pretty much put what ever law they want through with out much of a fight. And if their is a fight all they have to do is attach a rider to the bill that sounds good and cry that the other side isn't supporting this oh-so-important issue that is actually just a rider on a worse bill, or the other way around.\n\nOverall the government hasn't been looking out for our best interests until lately with the gas prices because now it is a good political tool to use with the voters. So it isbelieved that who ever can champion the oil issue can win the hearts of the american people. Then, once they are in charge they get to cater to their special interests, not the people's. \n\nSpell check doesn't work in IE7 so I apologize for any typographical errors.

Actually, I think Bush's respect is at a record low now and will probably head even further south as he has set this country and much of the world on a horrible path that is going to take a long time to correct.\n\nThe needless thousands of deaths he has caused can never be forgiven or forgotten.

Kerry Has certainly made his mistakes. But Bush and Cheney are in way over their heads. They blundered into Iraq not because of terrorism but because of Hussein. (They had to cover up for bin laden some how.) The military is not prepared to fight guerrillas. We have the most powerful military in the world, but as it was proved in Vietnam, if we're not fighting another army, we cannot win. We didn't have the organization to take Iraq when we started, and now we don't have the will. The Bush administration is trying desperately to cover up for what will be 8 bungled years. They achieved nothing except to destroy the United State's reputation in the eyes of the world.

Absolutely not.\n\nHe stole the 2000 Election. He said he was a uniter but turned out to be a huge divider. He said in 2000 he was not a nation builder and would focus on domestic policies, but then he started two wars. He has turned our surplus into a deficit. He has caused the country to borrow heavily. Since the first year he was in office, he started saying Iraq was a threat. He was going to attack Iraq and made the data on WMD fit his policies. He has the blood of thousands of innocent civilians that he killed in Iraq. Iraq is a mess and his Vice President's ex-company, Haliburton, is awarded huge contracts there. We keep hearing about Haliburton excessive charges which are ripping of the American public. \n\nHis inner circle of advisors are sick and twisted, condoning torture, breaking of treaties, breaking of the Constitution in allowing illegal wiretaps, etc.  They have created secret prisons all over the world where they use torture. They have imprisoned people indefinitely with no trial, no judge, no lawyers, nothing.  They are actually trying to defend their positions which is truly despicable. \n\nBush doesn't care about the environment. He has relaxed pollution laws. He refused to join the Kyoto agreement. \n\nBush rules by "fear" and gets the sheep popuplation to follow him - all he has to do is say it's for "national security." He has made thugs out of his fellow Republican senators and congressmen. He should be impeached but his fellow thugs in Congress won't do it out of fear or loyalty. What a crock!\n\nHe has interjected his personal religious beliefs into his policies. He is eroding the seperation of church and state.\n\nHe has mishandled Katrina. He even praised Brown for his "great" job on Katrina, and then soon fired him thereafter. \n\nHe eroded alot of support from other countries and aliented many friends. The image of the US has sunk since he has taken office. \n\nHe presidency has created a real bad mood and stink in this country.\n\nOne of the worst presidents ever! Certainly the worst in my life time.

Everyone is talking about that! Even on the View! I think it was just luck of the draw. If it happens not to be, then just another reason I don't trust our current administration!

I dont think that Bush is doing a very good job handeling the war. I think that he is leading America down the wrong path. But, he has made a few "good Choices" for our country. But wat r we gonna do hes our pres for wat 2more years so wat r we gunna do? were stuck w/ Bush and we have to live with his bad choices for the country for a few more years. Hopefully a better president will come along in 2008!

Bush is missing a few links

I'd say some of each.  There are times when I think he's just blundering around, but at other times his actions appear to be highly calculated to further his own agenda at the expense of the America public and the constitution (which makes a president evil in my book).  And I certainly do not trust him or his administration (and I never have).

He has run our economy into the groud.  Ruined foreign relations all over the world. Started an unneccesary war.  And wants to start another one very soon (Iran).  So I would say NAY. Also, Bush probably doesn't even realize that Peru is about to elect a President that is anti-American and wants to start wars with South American countries.

Good question, Stock Market is up, unemployment is the lowest in many years, new home starts have been growing, manufacturing is on the increase.  So overall the economy is doing well!\n\nCould it be that "Bush" is doing an okay job?  If you look at the media polls his numbers are way down?  So what is going on?????

Of course he is, idoits are falling for this because they are simple minded and brain washed. Bush also lies about how he wants to help people, but waht about people in Hati. Theses people are suffering but too bad for them they don't have anything for Bush to take..

Not after the complete mess that Bush has made.

Of course he means well. He is not perfect, I am sure he didn't just decide to try to mess things up so america would hate him. WHich is why I 100% support him, because he is human, and I know he is a good person, so he should be given the benefit of the doubt. His terms as president habe been rough, and alot has been accomplished, and he has had alot to deal with during his presidency...he has done a good job, i think.

Yes Bush is in a tough situation but the majority of it is his own doing Yet hr tries to blame every one but his own self The sooner he his out of office the better . He has run up the national debt higher than all the presidents prior to him combined. as A WORLD LEADER HE IS A FAILURE  He only hears what he wants to and will not admit that he is totally wrong on many things Ignores the true facts about the war in Iraq because it does not fit what he wants to hear  He has single handedly turned the majority of our allies against us . And yet the few supporter he has left think he it the greatest thing to come along since sliced bread.  How sad it is that they are so blinded by all of  the B.S. that spews out of his mouth

Of course he could have, he chooses not to. They have an agenda, and they are playing it out to the end. Bush keeps saying that he will stay the course. He isn't going to admit he is wrong about anything. Senator John McCain said last Sunday on MEET THE PRESS that Bush has done several things wrong. He said that their were several in the Republican party, that don't support the president on alot of policies.
