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.

No, I for the life of me cannot figure out anybody that does. He is the worst president ever. I voted for Kerry because I knew that Bush and his policys were wrong for America.

In no way is George Bush a crook. Just because you don't like him, doesn't make him less of a person.

I don't hate President Bush, however I think he is doing just about everything wrong with the country. My main problem with Bush is that I think going to war with Iraq was the wrong direction to take the war on terrorism. It created a single place for terrorists to focus their efforts and it solidified opposition to western democracy in the Muslim states. Further, he has eroded personal protections by instituting such things as warantless wiretaps and eliminating habeas corpus for American citizens by declaring them enemy combatants. On the domestic front, he's given more and more tax cuts, even as the government runs out of money and has to cut back on essential programs, like Medicaid and student aid. He propsed expensive, likely irrelevant reforms to lower education and then didn't fund it, mostly because of the tax cuts. He's trying to open drilling in ANWR, refuses to limit greenhouse emitions, even though scientists are all in agreement that they are causing global warming, and he's lifted limitations on logging. The list goes on and on.

There is nothing good about this man Bush. It pains me even to put President and Bush together. I never voted for him and we all know he never won the first time. I knew we were in for a world of hurt if he became president and look where we are. He is a very bad man does not care about the American people all he cares about is oil and the money he can make from this horrible situation. Shame on him!!

I believe President Bush is not the best public speaker. Maybe you could even say he is bad. I don't think that is a reflection of his intelligence and truely I don't believe anyone could draw that conclusion solely on how he presents himself. I believe everyone here including myself is not in a position to say since none of us know him personally. I can say that he was educated at some of the best schools in the world. Yale University, bachelor's degree, history, Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. If I had to guess, I would say he is intelligent.\n\nHistory will be the judge, 50yrs from now everyone who has put down this administration will see for themselves how truely stupid they were at the time.

Besides the fact that he has disgraced the United States, he is a really stupid person. Republicans are narrow minded people, they have no objective view points, they should be eradicated from our government. Bush is a prime example of the dumb part of America.

I don't hate the man, but I do understand why many people do not like him.  Mostly it is an honest issue.  He's a horribly untrustable person.  Almost everything he said he would do he didn't, and almost everything he said he wouldn't do he did.  Just look at the funding for church based initiatives. He promised lots of money and has yet to give a single penny to any of their causes.  Clinton gave about 15 million to church based initiatives, Bush Sr. about 10 million.  And it's not like he wouldn't have had support for it - the whole House and Senate is majority Republican.\n\nThen there is the war built on bad intelligence, the fact that he stayed on vacation for 3 extra days during a hurricane, hasn't caught Osama Bin Laden, has spent more money the a drunk Ted Kennnedy in Vegas with a fist full of government bonds, said he wasn't doing domestic wiretaps....\n\nThere is quite a lot of reasons to really dislike this president and I'm afraid that history will not be kind to him.  Bush is my president, but he is not a good president.

bush is the worst pres. ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like President Bush and I think he is doing the best job possible during a period in history that is very difficult and dangerous. I think he will go down in history as one of the better presidents-- not necessarily well liked, but better. There's nothing that says he has to be liked, but he should do the best job that he can, and I think he is doing that.\n\nAs to why people dislike President Bush and slam him so, I think there are several reasons. One is the movie put out by the hatemonger Michael Moore. The man is so filled with bitterness, it is evident that he wants to blame somebody for what hapened, but he seems to be afraid of agreeing with the rest of the world that the perpetrators are the ones who have boasted that they did it.\n\nWhat is even more frightening is that he has convinced others to hate blindly-- all the while pretending that he is fair and unbiased-- so the people he has led into hatred also think they are being fair and unbiased!\n\nThe media have played their part. Good news does not sell newspapers, as an old saying goes, and this is also true of tv news. By selectively choosing polls and slanting questions, it is possible to make the popularity numbers imply almost anything. Once more, let us remember that this is not a popularity contest, but a serious job.\n\nI cringe when I hear people say, "If I was President I'd do this and I'd do that" when it is clear from what they say that they haven't any idea of what the President's powers and responsibilities are.\n\nI have already given several Answers on the topic of the war in Iraq and related subjects; for those who are interested in hearing what I have to say instead of blindly disagreeing with me, I welcome all to check them out instead of repeating myself here.\n\nI will limit my comments to two things. Saddam Hussein did have unconventinal weapons of mass effect; one of the most dangerous was counterfeiting of American currency on the grand scale, which was weakening the American economy. He was trying to do to us what we did to the Soviet Union with our 'Star Wars' spending years ago: cause incredible inflation and eventually bring down the national political system. It was a deliberate attack.\n\nSecondly, Saddam Hussein claimed and boasted of being involved with nuclear research, much as Iran is doing at this very instant. He wanted the entire world to believe that he had or was on the verge of getting nuclear technology. If at any point he wished to reassure the nations of the world, all he had to do was to allow the UN weapons inspections teams into Iraq and let them do their work. He refused. He wanted to control the rest of the world by means of fear.\n\nTo draw an analogy, when a man threatens a cop with a gun, the cop does not have to determine whether it is a real gun or a water pistol. That man is simply bought and paid for; his death is on his own head. If he did not want to take the risk of being shot, he should not have threatened the cop and has no right to complain.\n\nSaddam is an enormously swollen version of a schoolyard bully. He wanted to intimidate the rest of the world into giving in to him, or leaving him alone until he could become even more powerful. \n\nWell, he succeeded in intimidating the rest of the world. But we had a responsibility to see to it that he didn't retain that power, in addition to the ability to attack us economically. He has nobody but himself to blame for prompting us to attack him and remove him from his power base.\n\nIf anything, we should have taken Saddam down back at the time of the first Gulf War. President Bush is, unfortunately, reaping the consequences of the USA being a nation that acts with restraint and adheres to the doctrine of minimum use of force. That is not HIS fault.

George Bush is not right for America, never has been, never will be. He is the worst President we've ever had, bar none.  He should have been impeached long ago for lying to the American People about Iraq. The blood of every dead soldier is on his hands.

Though I'm not fond of Bush, you have the right to feel the way you do, you just have to develope a thick skin cause when it comes to politics, it's a cut throat game.  Besides, only history will tell if he was good or bad, & by then we'll have new people to bash.

Better than what or who? \n\nEach President faces a unique set of challenges in unique times and in many ways it is impossible to compare them.  President Bush is clearly dislike by some people almost to the point of being an obsession.  Is this dislike based on reliable facts?  It doesn’t appear to that it is.  And yet there are concerns about some of his actions.\n\nHe is doing what has to be done as President and that is, trying to protect the country from the multiple attacks it has received.  That he is doing things that might be considered by some as extra-constitutional, is true.  However, he is not the first president to do so and is far from the worse.
