I agree with Jenny the true patriot here on yahoo answers and Hitler_is Bush. George Bush has destroyed Americas economy and put the lower and middle class out of business. It doesn't make any sense to me how somebody can be so cold to Americans. America will never know about John Kerry, at least he went to Viet Nam when George Bush was back in America getting DUI'S and arrested.

He has been a uniter as he promised in his campaign. (Wrong! Look at congress, the U.N., the world.)\nHe has made the U.S. and the world safe from terrorism. (Wrong--terrorism has increased, and most agree because of our war on Iraq.)\nHe has helped the poor and middle class. (Woops--it's the wealthy he helped--look at the increase in disparity between rich and poor.)\nHe sure made the life of the elderly better. (As long as they are poor and can wade through the legislation that really benefits insurance and drug companies.)\nHe has improved our school systems. (Oh-oh, maybe you should check with teachers, or take a look at the test results.)\nHe has improved our environment--he passed the clean air act. (There he goes again--who benefitted? Energy companies because of relaxed standards. Oh, and he did recently admit that there might be some global warming occuring.)\nHe has decreased our dependence on foreign oil. (Well, he just recently said he would.)\nHe has decreased the deficit. (It may decrease from his all-time record spending, at least.)\nHe has reorganized our Homeland Security. (Katrina, anyone?)\nHe has protected our constitution according to his oath of office. (Well, if we disregard a few minor glitches, such as the 4th amendment.)\nHe has expanded funding to churches. (Often at the expense of governmental funding for disaster relief, education, etc.)\nHe has dramatically increased the power of the presidency (but at the expense of checks and balances).\nHe has significantly increased government secrecy (after all, the people don't need to know what's going on in a democracy, right?)\nHe has talked tough to the world. (I'll give him that!)\n\nWell, I tried, but I'm mostly left with the talk tough image.

Hey Redd, Do you remember the old TV commercials saying, "this is your brain before drugs and this is your brain after, and then the guy cracks an egg and fries it. The same principle applies here but unfortunately with our country. Our country before Bush jr.; no deficit, race relations were better, international relations better, etc. and after/during Bush.....well you can "look around" and see for yourself. Our country has become the proverbial "fried egg" so to speak. ;)  Oh almost forgot, the economy. I know it was better for me and all those around me BEFORE Bush, Now Bush talks about job growth, that's great if you want a job at Taco Bell or Burger King, but in terms of real growth, it's not happening.

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!

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.

no, i don't feel George Bush has been accountable to the will of the people since elected?  \n\ndid we wont to invade Iraq, no, but we did all because of his over inflated ego. did he listen to FBI office before the towers were bombed, no. does he listen to the people of this country when we wanted to pull troops out of Iraq. all hes interested in felling his oily pockets.\nthe economy went to s____  under Clinton & hasn't rebounded back like bush promised us  by forking tons (all that debt hes duge us in) of money into our economy & it hasnt done much. regan i liked bush i don't.

For the folks that manufacture in this country, it is getting worse.  All of our jobs are going to other countries.  Thanks a lot Bill!  NAFTA sucks!  It has hit my jewelry manufacturing business, and now the Dental Laboratory owners are starting to feel it as well.  The furniture industry, the auto industry, the steel industry, the electronics industry...all have been devastated by our own government allowing moves overseas.  It all started under Bill Clinton.  Remember Ross Perot? That great big sucking sound?  Ross was right!  The US government still allows China, and Russia to locate or businesses in their hostile lands.  Makes me sick! Thanks again Bill, you started it all!  And you George, you allow it to continue.

No. I think he has done a pretty good job. He has made one big mistake. Supporting Bush in the Iraq war. Everything else has been ok.

The whoal thing is a joke...Reduce deficit..lol...WAKE UP AMERICA...I dunno what the heck you guys are doing...but...get off the couch and do something about it..Bush is killing America and its freedoms..and his sights seem set for  the world..that will not happen...the world will not tolerate as much as America does to its own...

He has run our economy into the groud.  Ruined foreign relations all over the world. Started an unneccesary war.  And wants to start another one very soon (Iran).  So I would say NAY. Also, Bush probably doesn't even realize that Peru is about to elect a President that is anti-American and wants to start wars with South American countries.

The economy is in great shape despite the media, and much of that is attributed to his defiance of congress and the democrats on tax cuts.  Seriously we have record low unemployment, stock market near all time highs, interest rates at all time lows and inflation is in check even with the highest gasoline prices ever....not too mention we have domestic GNP growth exceeding 4% which is a really robust economy.\n\nNow you can fall into the "he lied" garbage presented by the far left.  Its funny how they ignore the fact BJ Clinton, Hillary, and Kerry all said Saddam had WMD's but now supposedly Bush lied?  That is BS; and the truth is al queda is on the run and has very few places to hide where they can accomplish anything (like another 9/11).  I think those are the two most critical issues of our time:  The economy and keeping terrorist occupied and hopefully catching and or killing them.

Can't completely evaluate his presidency right now.  We will have to see what becomes of all the things he has set in motion.\nKeep in mind that some of our best presidents were wildly unpopular in their day - Jefferson, Lincoln, and T. Roosevelt.  I am not suggesting he will ever be in that league, just that there is a good chance that all the rhetoric about what is going on is short sighted and prevents us from properly evaluating the long term impact of his presidency.\nAs a man I guess he's a good guy.  He cares for his family; doesn't seem to lie, cheat, or steal (I can't listen to those panty-wearring sisies who think he lied everyone into war - if they're not even smart enough to read the actual words he used and pay attention to the UN Resolutions).  I think he's a little creepy sometimes, but I'm not inviting him to any cook-outs.\nAs a world leader?  Hmmm.  I don't care.  If the euro-weenies and insecure Canadians don't like him what do I care?  If the presidency had to answer to all those constituencies then we would be in real trouble.\nMy opinion about his presidency in generic terms:  C- on domestic issues (the brutal expansion of the federal government) and grades are still out on foreign issues (if I had to guess it's probably going to be around a B-.

I can't think of a thing he has done for the little people but he sure has done a lot for the rich and for other countrys. Like giving away our ports. sending jobs south of the border. That is about all I can think of at this time.

I believe that Bush has done and continues to do more damage to this country than any other president in the history of the United States.  He managed to turn unprecedented international support into unprecedented international disdain.  He has invaded a sovereign nation for no apparent reason, overextending the military and diverting resources form the legitimate military campaign (the one aimed at actually finding the people who attacked us).  He sent military forces into Iraq with no viable exit plan (which was obvious to many of us from the start and has since become obvious to most).  He has turned an record fiscal surplus into a record fiscal deficit.  He has trampled, and continues to trample, on the bill of rights.  He has forced congress to approve the appointments of radically conservative judges, who will continue to errode our civil rights for years to come.  He has spent billions of dollars on an unnecessary war while schools accross the country are discontinuing art, PE, music, even science and history classes due to lack of funding; entire schools are closing resulting in larger class sizes; special ed programs are being closing.\n\nOK guys, I don't think the asker meant he *literally* wanted to replace Bush with Nixon, but rather that Nixon did less damage as president than Bush is doing.  I expect he knows he's dead...  Although, I must agree that a dead Nixon would be better than Bush in that at least he couldn't actively harm or nation.  For that matter a grapefruit would make a better president than Bush.\n\n_____________\n>>>Do any of you liberals have an original thought in your head \n>>>that DIDN'T come from moveon.org or Micheal Moore?\n\nFrom what I can tell the ONLY thoughts in your head are "Bush good" and "liberals bad."  My political opinions are based on my personal morals, my own observations, and my interpretation of what I read in the news.  Yours appear to be based on a misguided believe that anyone who did not vote for Bush is a terrorist.  Perhaps there is a reason you feel the need to attack anyone who questions your idiomatic ideology?\n\n___________\n>>>There was a very good reason - Iraq lost a war in 1991 and \n>>>didn't submit to UN inspections for WMD. Even Clinton was \n>>>ready to invade in 1998, where was your outrage then?\n\nYou may note that Clinton did NOT invade in 1998.  If he had, I probably would have been outraged, although as he DIDN'T I can't comment on the exact circumstances that would have surrounded this decision.  You may also note that old Bush chose to withdraw from Iraq rather than overthrow Saddam.  Again, there's a reason.  Besides which, failing to submit to UN inspections may or may not be cause for UN action, but it is not a justification for unilateral US action.  Even Bush has stopped talking about UN inspections and WMDs.\n\nAlso note that this is only ONE of the many atrocious policy decisions for which Bush is responsible.  Apparently you can find no argument with the rest of them.\n\n____________\n>>>No you wouldn't have\n\nYou have no basis on which to determine what I would and would not do.  I would not and do not support the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation no matter who happens to be president.  And the fact remains that CLINTON DIDN'T DO IT.\n\n>>>AND SEVERAL OTHER NATIONS\n\nOh, sorry, I forgot Poland.  Seriously, though, we had the UK on our side, and a couple of tiny countries who are dependent upon our financial support, but that's about it.  It was unilateral primarily in that we did not consult with other nations in making the decision to invade, not in that there weren't a handful of other countries fighting along side us.\n\n>>>Don't give me the tired WMD crap either - you know DAMN \n>>>well he had them, just ask the Kurds, "Where are they now?"\n>>>would be

Some of the things (since 2000) can't be repaired.When you destroy and sell off the environment, that's it.Our economy,(I don't care what the g.o.p. say) was ahead in the ninties by at least 400 billion.Now the debt we have buried ourselves, and whored ourselves to China and Japan, the u.k. even Canada has a stake in us,is going to take I'm afraid our children to dig out of this mess.Not to mention womens rights,our basic freedoms and everything else they have slapped us in the face with.I wish a third party could win, but the odds of that are about as good as bush really being a christian!

since you can not rate a president during his term , but after 15 to 20 years. we need to see where the middle east and terrorist power stand after his stance. Good economy more jobs more people starting their own business. sure he will be rated as a good president.
