Why is Bush such a good President?\n\n1) He's a real STATESMAN. He doesn't pander to the public opinion polls like his democratic counterparts. Face it, Clinton would read a poll before deciding how to vote. Bush isn't out to win any popularity contests; he takes job very seriously.\n\n2) No more attacks since 9-11. Bush has fulfilled the most basic obligation he has as President: to protect and preserve the Union against attack.\n\n3) He has vision. While other politicians would only see in alterable chaos in the Middle East, Bush saw a region ripe for change. He understands that everyone years to be free. Now, people all over the Middle East are clamouring for their chance at democracy. They've seen it, they want it.\n\n4) You can trust him. Whether you like or dislike Bush, practically anyone will agree that he does what he says. He is very plain spoken. With other politicians like Kerry, you would get a different speech depending on what state you were in. \n\nI know this will eliminate any chance of getting your Best Answer vote, but Clinton accomplished some good things.  He reformed Welfare.  Sure, maybe the Newt Gingrich congress bullied him into it, but Clinton followed their lead.  He was bright and articulate. \n\nClinton could have done so much more if people would have stopped all the pointless investigations.... travelgate, the Monica Lewinsky case, ad nauseum.\n\nA President is still a human being, but we treat Presidents as if they should be able to wave a magic wand and make everything perfect.  As someone who did not vote for Clinton, let me say point out that if his attention had not been forcibly diverted in 100 different directions by all the accusations of misconduct, he might have been made better decisions regarding terrorism.\n\nHere's a proposition:  let's start stop being a nation of hypocrites, prudes, and childish thinkers.  The people who could best serve our nation: in Congress, the Senate, governorships, and in the Presidency will never run for office.  Understandably, they don't want to endure a humiliating, privacy-invading microscope of undue attention.  Whose past could survive such relentless scrutiny?\n\nLet's stop scrutinizing our candidates to the point where no one who is qualified wants to run for office.

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.

Good question.  If so many people don't think he's doing a good job as president, doesn't our constitution allow us to get rid of him?  I don't think as many people disapprove of him as it may seem.  The media sure makes it seem that way though.  I think people just say they disapprove of him because it's the social norm.  I might not agree with everything Bush does, but I trust that he always does what he thinks is best for our country.  And who can blame him for that?

A great president? This piece of human garbage is by far the worst president this country has ever seen or ever will see. He is amongst other things a war criminal, a mass murderer, a thief, a traitor, a deserter, a liar, a moron, a drunk, a coke addict, an illiterate and an abject failure. He is quite literally the scum of th earth and I despise him, richly and deservedly.\n\nI am actually less concerned with his relative popularity (too many of the American electorate change with the prevailing wind, as demonstrated in November 2004) as with his ultimate place in history. I want this vermin impeached and disgraced by being forcibly removed from office. I want all future history texts to refer to him as the worst and most harmful president this republic has ever known. I want him brought up for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity before the World Court in the Hague and taken away in shackles to serve a life sentence. And I want all of his blindly devoted "true believer" supporters -- even those craven enough to abandon him now as he begins his long-awaited descent -- to burn in hell right along with their hero.\n\nAmen. ;)

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.

I would be inclined to say that he is a fantastic leader.  He is far from being the best (Reagan) but he is one of my favorite presidents.

he is doing the job he was elected to do, protect this country from its enemies.. no  president is perfect .. but the media / left wing  exaggerates  any mistakes  and   twists   the   truth   to its advantage to make Bush appear to be inept ... in reality   history will one show he was one of the best presidents we have had.peace in the US is divided by political alliances not  the individual people like it should be. when you become that dogmatic in your views  you become blind to the truth. peace with the rest of the world  depends on their views as well as ours,  we cant make people  who are so  fanatic in their religion like us . zealots  don't have room  in their ideology for other religions and views...

Wow, its incredible how ignorant, and biased some of you answerer's are. Do you know how Bush is like in person? How can you attack him personally when you don't have the slightest clue about what goes on in his life, his mind and how he is as a character?\n\nMost of you are being manipulated by the media. You are blindly following every word they say. Do you really know why there is a war with Iraq? Or are you just repeating the media. I bet most of you don't have a clue whats really going on and all the problems Bush has to deal with- including  judgmental people like you and the Media. \n\nI wonder ,could you do a better job at being the President of the United States? \nJust think. No.

Why do you support him?  Some poeple support him because they think that if they don't, the terrorists will come and kill their family. It doesn't help that Bush and Cheney have actually SAID that.  I would have to know why you do support him in order to answer that question.

I'm not George Bush fan, but thanks nonetheless for this question.   Hopefully, some of those who are blinded by their hatred will learn to "simmah down" a little.  To be credible with criticism, you've got to maintain perspective.  I see some have already succombed to temptation, and demonstrated that they can't operate within the constraints of the question . . . sad really.\n\nMuch as I find to dislike about him, I also do find some good things.  He is willing to stick to his principles, even when he fully knows it is politically unpopular.  He has tried (unsuccessfully) to change the poisonous atmosphere in D.C.   He has complimented Clinton, minimized the attention placed on the Clinton destruction and plundering of the White House when they left, made real outreach to include Kennedy, Hillary, and other opponents.  All of which has been reciprocated by nastiness.   As you point out, he is a stellar role model for fitness.  And if you admire his wife Laura, as I do, you have to consider that she chose him for her husband: a pretty powerful endorsement.

George W. Bush is great because he has courage and conviction to stand up against his emenies and serve the American people and the citizens of the World. When you are the President of the World, you have a great influence on decisions that are made all over the world and just not in the United States.

I used to hate the man.  And now that everyone hates him--now I'm starting to respect some of his positions: in particular, I like his stance on immigration, and I prefer his--and Condoleeza's--diplomatic efforts during this, his second administration.  My sense is that Mr. Bush is orders of magnitude better than the average Republican, even if McCain, Giuliani, Bloomberg, and Specter are significantly better than him.

As a person maybe, as a president he is better than was the option but he leaves a lot to be desired. I am on his side for most issues but not all and I find him to at least be willing to do what he believes to be right. That is rare in politics. He will make the hard choices and stand behind them and that takes balls in his line of work.

I think Bush is a great guy, just lacking the wisdom necessary for being the president.\n\nHe spends money like a teenager with her parents' credit card trying to impress her friends.\n\nHe cherry-picked info to come up with the conclusion he wanted. (WMD's)\n\nHe made very poor decision for appointments (FEMA's Brown)\n\nHis poor communication skills are no match for combatting the liberal media. (And he's has given them a lot of ammunition)\n\nHey, Shepherd - No president has much control over economics.  What little they can do has little or no immediate effect.

That's bias on your part.\n\nThe main argument against Bush is his lack of speaking skills.  Since the invention of the radio the President's voice was what could make or break his platform.\n\nHe isn't known for great lines, easy conversational style or anything.\n\nTo be simple, he looks stupid.  Some of his actions are looked as stupid.\n\nWhether you are republican or democrat you cannot deny that he is not a good speaker.\n\nOn that same token you can't deny that he is treated very unfairly sometimes.

Well, I'm pretty pleased with the job our honorable president is doing.  He has faced such opposition, when the man has only  been trying to do what is right.  I wish him much success.  That is not an easy task- being president of the most powerful nation on the planet.  He has been such a rock.  So steady and unfaltering in his principles.  I don't agree with EVERY decision he makes, but most I do.  I appreciate his ability to not revile and hate back at those that hate him.  That is his most admirable characteristic, in my judgment.  I also appreciate his efforts to protect me and fellow Americans in this very dangerous world.  God Bless the man, George W. Bush!
