How do you people feel about president Bush?

con artist, liar, thief, murderer, fascist, crook, moron, a chimp with no intellectual curriosity or reasoning ability. \na hand puppet with handlers managing his interactions with citizens. in short I feel complete and utter contempt for him.\n\nWhen the role is called up yonder, he will have much to account for. Not a man of god.  Not even a man. \nmore of a weasel parasite.

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.

I don't know how Bush feels, but I feel with my hands.  I have the feeling that it is the same for him as well.

i agree completely. I HATE CLINTON. he is the meanest man alive. i will never forget when he drove by my school [a military-base school overseas] and he was supposed to get out and meet some people from my school. but instead, he just whipped by us, not even bothering to open his window. and i think bush is amazing. he's doing the best he can in this situation and he's handling it very well. =]

This question is too vague.\n\nObviously you do not like our current president.\n\nI voted for George W. Bush twice and think he is a wonderful president.

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 like Bush.\n\nTax cuts (for everyone)\nGreat economy (especially after the Clintons and 9/11)\nWar against terror (Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea...)\n1st administration to recognize the illegal immigration problem\nHe put more minorities in higher positions than ever before\nDidnt sell secrets to China like Clinton did\netc etc etc\n\nEveryone feels dumb now that they found out the WMDs were real.\nThat WAS the reason people didnt like him.\n\nBTW...Gas prices go up because we don't have enough refineries and environmentalists won't allow us to make more.\n\nThe only problem is that he is weak. He has caved in to the Liberal Media and won't push through with his plans.

I wouldn't go have a beer with the guy, but I respect what he's done so far. It's a tough job that most people wouldn't want, and he could have done worse.  He's had a tough road from day one with the 2000 elections, 9/11, then the Iraq war.  \n\nI think he gets a bad rap because he's not as polished as most politicians.  I don't agree with some of his policies (religion, gays, etc), but overall I think he is a patriot with our best intentions in mind.\n\nThe bottom line:  I like him, and I respect the job he's done.

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 also like him, he is not a pansy like we would have been stuck with if that other idiot would have gone into office, I can say I dont always agree with Bush, but for the most part I like him, and I wish people would just shut the hell up, or get the hell out of my country.

How fickle people are, these polls out today are a joke. I would like to see this question posed...what don't you like about Bush, factually, not just off the cuff running your mouth...give me facts.\n\nIsn't it interesting that some 96% of the US population approved of the war in Iraq 4 years ago?  Yet, they don't approve now, sorry folks, you don't just change your mind about war in midstream.  It doesn't work that way.  We didn't have it easy during many wars, and didn't give up and pull out, eventually the tables turned and we were very successful.  I think of the Revolutionary war, WW1 and  WWII.  People seem to forget that we activly fought WWII for 4 years (after it was already in progress for 3 years).  It was awful, it was tough, but we got dragged into it by Japan, just like the terrorists draged us into this one.\n\nSo why is Bush great?  Number one, he has named his priorities and goals and stuck with them.  The economy is very strong, growing so fast the Feds can't raise interest rates fast enough.  I can't see what it is that Americans can blame Bush for when it comes to the economy, most of the damage was done by the terrorists on 9/11.  Bush said he belived in tax cuts, he didn't want new taxes and he wanted Americans to have more money in their pockets so they spent more.  All of the above happened.  I didn't see anyone complaining when they got their $300.00 a few years ago.  The democrats are dying to use taxes to lower the deficit...okay, that means our money folks, you okay with that?\nThere is a time a place for everything, raising taxes during war is not the way to go.\n\nWe have not had another attack on American soil.  If you want to keep the terrorists from attacking innocent Americans, send the military to the terrorists, keep them occupied and kick their asses somewhere else.  The men in the military are all for being out there kicking terrorism in the butt.  That is their job, they signed up for it and trained for it.  They don't just want Americans support they want success, that means letting them finish the job.  Some of these men and women are on their 4th and 5th tours, and wanting to go back for more.\n\nBush tells it like it is.  If he screws up he acknowledges it.  He doesn't mess around with anything.  He gets to the point and moves on.  You can tell how much he learned from his dad and President Regan.  Sometimes he so reminds me of Regan it's astonishing.  \n\nI'm sorry but when Hurricane Katrina came and Bush got the report on the dykes a few days before landfall..what was he going to do about them?  Send peple out to dump dirt on them?  It was too late to rebuild, it was not feasable to get everyone out of the City, hell that shouldn't even be the governments job to do that.  We have been through 3 direct Hurricane landfalls in 2 years where I live in Ft. Pierce, FL (not to mention the 4 indirect storms and depressions) and we took care of ourselves.  This is the land of the elderly.  If we had waited for the government we would have been standing in waist deep water for weeks.   Bush came and saw us, he gave us support, it's more emotional than anything else.  That is what we needed, when you dont' have TV, radio, phone, you feel very isolated.  Having your President come to see you is a great moral booster.  He is very good at that.\n\nBush has reached the point where he really doesn't care what everyone thinks about him.  He is out for doing what he thinks is best for America, not whats best for the social circle.  So if the other countries don't like it well, I'm sorry, but that is the way it is.  As soon as everyone begins to wake up and realize that we are all targets, we will be better off as a nation and a world.  If your President doesn't look after you first, then what good is he?  It's like having a dead beat dad...no thanks, I'll take GW!
