Do you think that the government will be able to keep up with all the bad things said about bush?

You just have to laugh at the brainwashed people, and be thankful that you have the ability of critical thought.\n\nBush is digging his own grave, politically speaking.  Let's just hope somebody gives him a bj so he gets impeached.

I don't think it's anymore corrupt than any other administration, especially the Clinton administration. People refuse to look back and see what Bush has had to deal with, terrorist attacks, many terrible natural disasters. He's had a lot of lack to pick up. I think you have to remember that when you look at what he's done in office.

probably not.. bush already screwed it all up for the rest of us, for good.

I think that people need someone to blame and he is the leader of this country so people can very easily point fingers at him for all this country's problems.  The truth is, this is not a dictatorship, there are many people that are in charge of this country and Bush is just doing his job.

It depends.  Some things need to be done but people won't let it happen.  Other things people want but the gov't doesn't do it.

It may not be.  Support for President Bush's administration comes mainly in the arena of his efforts to prosecute the war on terror.  That one issue alone has defined his time in office.  There have been mistakes, misjudgements, and he hasn't seen a spending bill that he didn't like.  He's grown government faster than most Democrats could have thought possible, which is saying a lot.  He has made efforts in providing additional funding for disabled people, education (although no child left behind is a really bad program), and, believe it or not the environment.  War time presidents are often consumed with the second guessing and bad press regarding the war that they are on the constant defensive.  So, even though I do support the effort in prosecuting the war on terror (I think that the threat was identified early enough that President Clinton could and should have handled it in the 90's) I don't think that this administration is one of the best.  But compared to Clinton's willingness to deploy the military every time he thought it would make a good photo op, I think George is doing the best he can.

I don't think so. Many Americans are frustrated by our government and the apathy of our fellow citizens. Bush is a complete embarrassment, so many of us would like to hide until he is out of office.

No.  Honestly I've seen a lot of George W. Bush's life before he became President.  Not only is he a bad President, but he was a disastrous governor in Texas and did the same thing to their state as he has to the United States and flushed it right down the toilet, and he's a generally poor example of a human being.\n\nBefore doing that, he spent his life doing absolutely nothing except screwing up and letting other people take the blame.  Gets into the National Guard, spends his whole time there on a drinking binge, then goes AWOL for seven months?  Who cares?  It's not like we were executing other people's children for that sort of behavior at the time (well, we actually were, but not the RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE'S children, and that's the important thing to remember).  Gets busted for drunk and disorderly?  Boys will be boys!  You're not supposed to remember that's something that usually ruins the lives of your average day folk, after all.  Mis-invests public money in failed efforts to find oil in a state where people are literally tripping over the stuff in the streets?  Daddy's friends can take care of it.  S&L scandal loses 90 million?  Oh gosh, not his fault.  Bail out time.  Plunges Texas from its best economic times straight into the worst recession in its history?  That has to be the last guy's fault, you know... everyone loves me.\n\nBe offended if you like the guy, but you have to ignore common sense to review the man's record and think he should be allowed to run a 7-11, much less an entire country.\n\nThe bottom line on what went wrong is that an incompetent man who never should have been allowed to make a serious bid for the office of President was swept into it, and did what all incompetent men do.  He screwed up.  What continued to go wrong was that he ended up in the one job where no one could feasibly fire him for it and the people were too apathetic to collectively afford themselves of the opportunity to do it, so he just kept screwing up, and kept screwing up, and kept screwing up... and when it came time for people to decide whether or not he should be stopped, he hired some very clever people to distract the public from what a poor job he did just long enough to let him keep his job because, apparently, he WANTED to keep screwing up, and keep screwing up, and keep screwing up for reasons unknown.\n\nI'm afraid the state the country is in, and the President's "lowest in the history of the United States" approval ratings, are both the fault of the same two things:\n\n1)  A man who refuses to take the advice of wiser people even when it's mind-numbingly apparent he has no idea what's going on or what to do about it, because he has visions of ruling the world; and\n\n2)  A country of people who allow him to keep doing it.\n\nMaybe instead of voting for looks and a bit of charm, we should try voting on who has the best grasp of the issues, who demonstrates the best ability to lead, and whose track record demonstrates the most competence for the job they're applying for.  It might just avoid some of these problems in the future.\n\n\n\nP.S.-- Oh, and for the record GWB didn't manage any of the things BassCatcher ascribes to him.  His college grades were lackluster, he wasn't responsible for winning his elections (quite a few advisers his father handed down to him were... and whatever else you care to say about Bush Sr, the man was awfully bright and hired good help), he didn't accomplish more than 300 million people by being the only one out of them who could have been elected President since most people, quite a few much more solidly qualified than him (even in the conservative base) don't aspire to that job, and the bulk of evidence indicates he wasn't elected either time in any case since in both elections reviews by the state of Florida found evidence of massive voter fraud (and in both elections losing Florida wou

I think some small percentage of people might, but ONE of the hardest things a person can do is to admit when they have made a mistake.\n\nEspecially if they have spent considerable time (months, years, etc.) defending their position and insisting they were right.\n\nAnd that applies to many things...not just George W.

YES, I think it will. This is ONLY the BEGINNING of the end. OUR DICTATORSHIP GOVERNMENT that we have presently and the people who support these bans WILL not realize how bad these bans are until it is too late. And that will only happen when something is banned that they happen to like. BUT unfortunately it will be too late.

Can you please tell me what liberal media you are talking about so I can watch it.  All media is pro bush.  It's funny how people will fixate on a remark but going to war based on a lie doesn't upset anyone, leaking agents names to newspapers by the current administration doesn't get anyone in tizzy, inappropriate behavior by current administration staff isn't that big of a deal.  What will it take for republicans to actually get upset with how the current administration is running the country.

I believe that Iraq has shown how dysfunctional this Administration and This President are. However, the country as a whole will survive his incompetence and deceit of the American people and the world. We have survived many catastrophes and Bad presidents. We suffered through the second least popular president after George W Bush (NIxon), and came out whole and strong. We survived Viet Nam, so I believe we can survive this tragedy in Iraq.\n\nUnfortunately, it may take a generation to win back the tarnished reputation of the US as a result of this President's complete disregard for the values and opinions of the rest of the world. He has caused more damage to international relations, and increased global terrorism more in his six years in office than I would have ever imagined possible in 3 or 4 times that amount of time.

I will be happier. Definitely. Safer? No. Because of the Bush legacy it will take a long time to show the world that Americans are good people again. Bush's war mongering has caused hatred all over the world and formed a new breed of Anti-American terrorists. Any new president, Republican or Democrat, will have to have unbelievable diplomatic skills to undo what Bush has done.

Yes..you hit the nail right on the head..I can tell you from an "outside" perspective that is exactly what the world sees..it is a shame that trusted governments can hurt their own people so much..Freedoms are being lost daily in the USA..Bush has been a very destructive man..not just to the U.S. but the suffering he has caused throughout the world is appalling. I hope the American people can stop it before it is too late...The blind and shallow-minded will disagree.

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.

Yes, unfortunatly.  If you want to think that, it's okay.  Almost everyone these days hates Bush.  But in the 2004 election, they picked him.
