How do you feel about our President George Bush? My opinion is that I don't like him/I did not vote for him!

You are exactly right. Sometimes true courage is admitting that you were wrong.

Hmmm... nope I don't HATE Bush.\n\nHe's in a no win situation because he created the situation he is in.\n\nI can't think of a single thing in the last six years that he has done that I agree with.\n\nTo make me happy, he could voluntarily resign the Presidency right this minute and apologize to the world for his stupidity.

I don't hate President Bush, I almost in some ways feel sorry for him. \n\nHe's the puppet, Carl Rove is the evil puppeteer.

Hate him, if it makes you feel any better. Frankly, though, I don't think he'll lose any sleep over it. And you'd be wasting your life doing so.\n\nBetter: focus your energies on making positive changes for the future. Bush won't be in office much longer (although you'd think with the answers some people give on here that he has already managed to establish himself with a lifetime monarchy), and you need to get behind who you want to see in the office of President.

I don't like him, nor the way he's running the country, but I would not insult him to his face.  He is the elected leader of this country, my country, and I would give him respect.\n\nWhen I leave after meeting him, I would blog about what I really think of him.  But I will not disrespect him in public, not matter how much he deserves it.

I saw that too and I didn't feel sorry for him one bit . He is the President of this country and represents us all and I felt embarrassed for the USA . I didn't vote for him but some of you out there did . The people of the world see right through him . I think they feel sorry for this great Nation . We deserve better for our money .

I hate George W. Bush with all my heart and I truly believe that he has caused irreparable harm to our beautiful country. The fact that he cannot put a sentence together shows that idiotic voters dont care about anything other than their stupid personal agendas. The Ameri-morons also love to hate outsiders, mexicans, and evil doers. They think that we need neither the rest of the workd nor the environment. They are wrong and will never get into heaven. You hear me? NEVER!!!!!! There may be one thing that we shared with the world, the ability to hate, hate, hate, hate...

I feel very let down by him.  \n\nI have supported him up until this.  Although, I feel that he does have sincere compassion for these poeple, he should have more concern for his own constituents' security.

I Love my Country!!  I believe in my President...I may not agree with him on every issue, but unless I was President I don't think I would agree with everything ANYone did in the oval office....I also know that having Bush in office is FAR better than having ANY democrat in office!!!!

I don't agree with everything he's done, especially in this second term, but I support him and respect the fact that he's our President.  I believe that whatever you may think of the person holding it, we should always respect the office of the Presidency.  This was difficult for me during the Clinton years, I'll admit, but he was still our President and got my respect for that, though certainly not my admiration.\n\nIt's one thing to disagree with the President's policy, politics, etc. and to voice your dissent.  That's part of what being American is all about.  But when you go beyond that and get into mean-spirited personal attacks, smear tactics, etc. I believe that that's just disgraceful and reflects poorly on those who do it.  I'm certainly not proud of conservatives who attacked Clinton this way, and I'm quite disgusted with liberals who do this to Bush.  They're not hard to find either - you'll find them all over this site.

No I don't like president Bush. It's not him as a person. It is him as a leader.  Maybe he believes in God, and wants to save unborn babies.  Maybe he is otherwise a great guy but that doesn't mean he knows what he is doing in the way of leading a country.  Perhaps Bush coveted ,only, the idea of being president.  He wanted to follow in his daddy's footsteps, and be a great and powerful man.  Now he has what he wanted and doesn't know what to do with it.  He's like a teenager who just got his license and now wants to drive everywhere for no reason at all except for the fact that he CAN.  He figured "Well,... I have all this military power at my disposal.  I want to have some fun with it before I go".  Like a little excited kid playing make believe with the nation. His motives aren't as much for the good of the world as they are for is own childish enjoyment.  Sadly many Americans bought into him.  People have always had problems with Americans and probably always will, but with George W. Bush the world really has lost what respect it had for the U.S.

I feel very angry about what Bush has done to our reputation around the world.  It is something that really concerns me.  But, and this is a big but, I believe you are wrong about the American people and our government.  The American people ARE the government, in a very real sense.  We elect and we reject.  We are free to speak out and criticize our government and our President if we feel they are screwing up, and thankfully can effect change fairly easily compared to most governments.  You can see from our polls (yes, polls are notorious but when they all agree it's good to pay attention to them) that the majority of the American people do not approve of the job that Bush is doing.  We can support our troops and still be unhappy about the reasons they are there.  \n\nWe will change the tide by voting, it is our most precious freedom, IMO.  Apathy keeps many Americans at home during the mid-term elections, but I feel this time around we will see a big surge at the polls in the Democratic favor.  I have to say, as unhappy as I am with the Bush Administration, I bristled when I read your opening statement.  It just isn't true, we are the sum of all of our parts in this democratic republic.  We will continue to respond harshly to terrorists and their threats, whether our government is headed by a Republican or a Democrat.  Guantanomo Bay?  It's unfortunate and there's house cleaning to be done, but we have a right to detain those who are a threat to our national security.  We learned on 9/11 what it means to remain complacent and have a false sense of security.  We won't make that mistake again.

Some interesting answers so far. It's obvious that feelings toward Bush are either extremely pro or extremely con. I don't find that surprising considering who he replaced. The country was extreme in its feelings towards Clinton too.\n\nObviously, it will be years before historians can judge him objectively, but I personally believe that Bush will be listed among the very good presidents in history.\n\nWe are going through a very difficult time in our country's history. The consequences of mishandling our enemies are huge. I believe he's handled them fairly well. I also believe that those who disagree underestimate the hatred our enemies have for us. And those who blame that hatred on Bush simply don't know history. The attacks started decades ago.

I feel like I was betrayed by Blair (ok, technically, he's not there to serve me as an American, but...).  I didn't expect much from Bush but Blair was supposed to be a good guy-- what a disappointment!

No, I do not support W.\nI did not vote for him (not that it matters in our elections).

Yes, I would.  But NOT for President Bush.  I wasn't old enough to vote for him in 2000, but I wouldn't have voted for him, due to my views.\n\nIn 2004, I did NOT vote for him, because he was doing a shoddy job as President.  He won, but I'm sure that he would have NO chance of winning a third term.
