Can anyone tell me what has George Bush done to help this country out, while he has been in office?

Stop being so ignorant and GET OVER IT. \n\nHe lied?  Tell that to the tens of thousands of people that were gassed and killed by Saddam.\n\nHe didn't help New Orleans because he was on vacation?  This comment is wrong on SO many levels: (1)When is the President EVER on vacation!  (2) I guess the local and state governments were on vacation as well.  (3)  I live in Florida and we were hit by SEVERAL hurricanes last year.  My family does not sit around waiting for the President to rescue us.  We help ourselves!\n\nBush let thousands of innocent americans die on 9/11 because he was reading to school children?  I suppose he could have called Batman, Superman, and Captain America.  They could have stopped all three planes...

I am with you girl, education is the key! It's all really obvious where the Bush administration has gone within the last 6 years. America will regain its self soon with the change of Congress. I am hoping for the start of quite a few investigations to move forward, with a new Congress.

At first I thought this was a dumb question, but other people answered you. He has broken many law's, bot domestic  and foreign, trampled the constitution, put the nation farther in debt then any other president, you kids and grand kids will pay for that. He lowered the tax on the very rich and is making the poor pay for it by cutting many programs that are life lines. He has done nothing for health care and medicare D, isn't anything but to help his friends in the insurance and drug industry's get a little richer. I think I could write a page of things that he has both done and not done since being appointed to the presidency in 2000 but will limit it to what I have said.

From the accounts I read he is trying to get back his previous support but his crowds get thinner and thinner.  I understand he is going to swear himself in as the legitimate President and try to stop the real President elect from taking office in December.  However, I understand people are getting tired of it and I suspect he might have done better to have accepted the cabinet seat and a pivotal role, when he could have positioned himself for the next election.

President Bush has brought an unnecessary war in Iraq. He has tried his best to make sure old people can't get the drugs they need to live (by going to Canada and Mexico to get them.) He has increased our national debt horribly. He has created hate and fear and unrest in our nation and around the world. And he has made America the most hated country on our planet. \nOh, and he has given David Letterman an endless supply of material from which to make nightly jokes.

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.

Bush sucks, but with defenders like Crystal, it's clear why he got elected....turns out a lot of people are clueless....\n\nHey, Crystal, you checked out gas prices lately? Have you checked out the deficit lately? The national debt? Have you seen what are 300 billion in Iraq is buying us (here's a clue: The Iraqis now have LESS electricity than when we invaded.....)? Have you noticed the sharp spike in worldwide hatred of America? Have you noticed how wages have FALLEN for working Americans? Have you noticed how Clinton was able to create more jobs in a single year than Bush has managed to create in 5 years? Have you happened to notice the number of large American companies announcing massive layoffs in the past few months? Have you noticed an increase in bigoted rhetoric and policy towards homosexuals and immigrants? \n\nHave you noticed how I can back up my claim that Bush sucks, while all you give is bubble-headed mumbo-jumbo about Bush having volunteered for the job?

Good Luck!  Just get on the Republican party's web site.  Surely, they will have some propaganda and more lies to say about G.W.  Or just tune into Fox News.  The only improvement I have seen in the last 6 months is the number of people with IMPEACH BUSH decals on their car.

To try to fix what Bush has done to harm the country.

Most summaries, no matter how unjudgemental they will sound, will have a political slant on it.\n\nCheck out:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush\n\nThe Basics:\n- He has lowered taxes\n- He started the "War on Terror" after the 9/11 events.\n- He went after and captured terrorists in Afganastan.\n- He ordered the troups into Iraq.  This is one of the most politically argued events of his career.  Prior to going in, both Democrats and Republicans had been pushing to go into Iraq for some time (Clinton was even under pressure to go in there).  In Iraq many terrorists have been captured or killed.\n\n- He gave money to faith based organizations for the express purpose of helping the needy.  An example would be soup kitchens, etc.\n\n- He has pushed for more HIV/AIDS research and got $15 billion from congress to help fun this.\n\n- He currently has a push going to strengthen the borders and illegal aliens coming accross.\n\n- He has selected several new judges for the Supreme Court.\n\n- Signed the law into effect that gave perscription drug coverage to medicare.\n\n- Signed the "No Child Left Behind" Act which was chief sponsored by Ted Kennedy.\n\n... And Much Much More.\n\nAlso, an interesting note is that the unemployment rate during the second Bush term is at a low that has not been seen in a couple decades.

No. He has abused his power. He has lied to the people he is supposed to serve. He is self-serving and supports big business while cutting assistance to those who need it most. Jobs are being outsourced at an astounding rate under his administration. When he took office there was a budget suplus, now we have enormous deficit. He talks about keeping our nation safe while allowing illegal immigrants to enter the nation at thousands per day. He has burdened our education system with his ineffective "no child left behind" without providing the funding to support it. He has taken us to war against another country with faulty intelligence (which, of course, he was well aware). Many in his administration are corrupt and unethical. He apoints people that are not qualified for their positions. (And people call these the actions of a Christian? Not in my book.)\n\nDo I think he's a good president? I think he's the worst President we've had in my lifetime, and I've been around for awhile. Unfortunately, he will remain the President long enough to do more damage.

President Bush is a wonderful president! And you are wrong in the polls...the latest polls show a 40% rating. 82% percent of this poll are Republicans. Now I will tell you why I totally respect our president.... I hope I don't leave anything out!!\n\n1. Low unemployment (5.3 million new jobs)\n2. Excellent growth. \n3. Low inflation (under 3% ... In spite of gas prices)\n4. Low interest rates. \n5. Bush has given tax breaks back to the working class.\n6. Has lead the world in aid to Africa.\n7. He has appointed more minorities to the highest levels in government.\n8. He has increased spending on education, environment, social programs, Medicaid and drug plans.\n9. He has extended tax cuts. \n10.The economy is still stable in spite of the war and Katrina.\n\nAnd:\n\nHe has restored our moral values. He relies on God for guidance in his decision making. (His ethics and moral values are those seen of Godly men.)\nHe cares enough to try to make this country a better and safer place?\nHe openly asks for solutions from both parties. (but because of their political agendas would rather his polices fail then for them to work as a team to better this country.)\n\nAnd the war in Iraq has brought down an evil dictator, Saddam, and freed the Iraqis to begin a new government. They now have a Prime Minister and a full Cabinet, and have established their own Constitution. They have soldiers in training and a police force. And the Iraqis are thankful to our troops for their help and support in all these things.\n\nAnd now, our troops, our coalition, and the Iraqi police have brought down and killed the evil terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Since his death, many raids (400+) and many documents and have lead to the capture of other terrorist.\n\nPresident Bush has accomplished much... In spite of bashing from the media and the left...\n\nUnfortunately, the "leftist" and Liberals will see nothing but negativity in our President. They will continue to make fun of his way of talking, the way he looks, the way he walks, and never give him any credit for any of the good he has done. \n\nThis bashing and disrespect is sad that they choose to do this instead of supporting him. However, President Bush will just continue doing the job he was elected to do, inspite of them.

George Bush IS a great president. He is the best person we could have had in office when 9-11 hit. He's done a great job economically. Our economy is on the rise. He is also steadfast when it comes to the war on terror. I know that he cannot run for a 3rd term but if he could I would vote for him again.

Not enough room allowed by Yahoo to answer your question accurately.  Maybe it'd be better to ask who HASN'T done more good for this country.

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!

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

they have. it's partly our own fault. quite a bit of these countries we've helped, we put their officials into government and they turned around and went after us. but our presidents have a funny way of helping people out which isn't always advantageous to everyone. maybe we shouldn't get into everyone else's business.
