Why do people not see that the US president is a criminal?

well, you see people these days are to busy to see what is going on in the world.  I may not know everything, but from I think people are just to stupid to just watch what Bushy (please do not sue me because i just said "Bushy" instead of Bush,I just like the name like that)here is doing. You see, also people are sometimes to poor to buy their own TV set or even a newspaper(or they're just to lazy too) because of taxes,gas prices,and ALL OF THEIR LITTLE STUPID FRIEND!!!!!!!!\nAnd there is my opinion, you may not like what I just wrote, but DEAL WITH IT!

Actually, everyone I know who has met the president say he's a very kind, well-spoken person.\nThe only people he has a problem with are those who want to kill Americans.  I see nothing wrong with that.

The hussein trail is a farce as he is being charged for supposed war crimes\nby the people he committed the crimes for(americans) who are now committing the same war crimes all over the world.\nThe government does not want it in the media as it might lead to many questions that have to be answered about their own actions.

People are stupid and are easily manipulated into believing things that aren't right and they never take the time to look into the truth of an issue. They so badly want to hate the President that they will believe anything and say anything to discredit him and make his administration look bad.

Not all are thieves.  That's unfair.\n\nSome are just sociopathic murderers (Rumsfeld, Bush...).\n\nSome are drug addicts (Limbaugh...).\n\nSome are money launderers (DeLay).\n\nSome are election-fixers (the brothers Bush, DeLay, K. Harris...).\n\nSome are unindicted war criminals (Kissinger...).\n\nSome are vicious bigots (Santorum, Helms, Lott...).\n\nSome are raving, delusional psychotics (Robertson, Falwell...).\n\nOne or two are decent public servants who feel the need, from time to time, to turned occasional, as necessary, opportunists (McCain, Giuliani...).\n\nSo they're not all thieves.  That's not fair.

Because they simply dont know who else to blame! Seeing that he is the President of the United States, they think EVERYTHING must be his fault!

It seems like most Americans like to ignore that which is unpleasant. If it's not in their backyards, then they pretend it's not happening. That passivity is what got us a moron in office and has basically screwed up our country.

no, I don't.  because people in poorer countries don't hear or see anything about the common Joe or Jane.  all they hear is what's in the news, "US bombs this"..."US barring trade with...".  Most of the world hears what the president and his cronies are up to...which is what most of us want.  we are poorly misrepresented actually.

Isn't it always a good idea to put self-admitted criminals on trial?\n\nDoes the US stand to gain anything by allowing someone to admit to breaking the law, and then not even put them on trial because they claim (without any legal support) that their position entitles them to break the law at will?\n\nIf Bush is put on trial (impeached = trial) and found not guilty, so be it. But not even putting him on trial sends the wrong message. It tells the world that the US doesn't care about the rule of law, and that we allow those in power to break the law at will.\n\nHardly a justification for the US claim to depose other dictators.

You are assuming he is great and hard-working, neither of which there is solid evidence for.\n\nAs to disrespectful, it is in the highest tradition of American patriotism to criticize the President. That is part of the greatness of this country - you can question government officials and actions without facing prison.\n\nAnd as Harry S said, "If you can't stand the heat...."

President or not no one should be above or beyond the law this includes the vice president also. as of late congress and the legal system can not seem to find the balls to bring charges against these people Why what are they so afraid of?

Simply put, enough people (myself included) don't feel that he has broken the law. If enough members of congress feel that the president has committed "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" they can begin impeachment proceedings.\n\nA lot of people talk about this, but my opinion is that even among the president's most ardent opponents in the congress, I don't think there are many that wish to see an impeachment proceeding based upon the actions the president has taken with regards to anti-terrorism measures and/or the war in Iraq.

He is definately not naive. He lies to the media saying he didn't know about things. I think the people are naive and believe him. How can we trust a Leader that doesn't know what is going on in this country? His credibility is very suspicious to me.

Because most of the American people ARE stupid. Geez, just look who they elected as president?!?

Because a lot of Americans are intellectually dishonest! They have a hidden agenda as well. So why not let someone else carry out what they truly believe, so that they can continue to hide and not get blamed, or have to take responsibility for anything! Bush is the perfect person for their mission!

Sorry to tell you this....but our media (in America) will say anything to make Americans believe that they are hated by everyone in the world. Also, with the popularity of the Internet most Americans get their news independently of the mainstream media. I find this hate rather hard to believe considering the problem America is having with illegal immigration.\n\nIf this story is true, the criminals will be tried and sentenced, just like the criminals from Abu Ghraib.
