Who thinks Bush is a good president?

I do.  I don't understand why 80+% of people thought he was a good president when we were going to war and dealing with terrorism and now half of the population has decided he shouldn't have gone.  Where's the consistency?  I guess popular opinion is fickle and that's why I support Bush, because he doesn't just base his decisions on popular opinion.

Of course he means well. He is not perfect, I am sure he didn't just decide to try to mess things up so america would hate him. WHich is why I 100% support him, because he is human, and I know he is a good person, so he should be given the benefit of the doubt. His terms as president habe been rough, and alot has been accomplished, and he has had alot to deal with during his presidency...he has done a good job, i think.

Yes I think he is doing a good job.  The media focuses on the negatives in Iraq and not the positives.  They focus on the terrorism which accomplishes the terrorists mission.  And they ignore the new schools, hospitals and even Mosques' we have helped to open.  70% of Iraq lives in a peaceful state, and their police force is growing.  Why do you think the terrorist attack the police forces so much?  Because they know once they are trained and in the right size their days are numbered.\n\nOur economy is in good shape.  60% of American's believe the economy is in good shape according to a recent Zogby poll...but you only hear in the media the Presidents Approval ratings are down.  Not the good news.  Bush's opponents have become full of hate; if he was doing such a bad job why not just promote a positive agenda for change?  They don't do that.  They focus on the bitterness, negativity, and hatred for they have no better agenda to offer.

I believe President Bush is not the best public speaker. Maybe you could even say he is bad. I don't think that is a reflection of his intelligence and truely I don't believe anyone could draw that conclusion solely on how he presents himself. I believe everyone here including myself is not in a position to say since none of us know him personally. I can say that he was educated at some of the best schools in the world. Yale University, bachelor's degree, history, Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. If I had to guess, I would say he is intelligent.\n\nHistory will be the judge, 50yrs from now everyone who has put down this administration will see for themselves how truely stupid they were at the time.

It depends on which George Bush you are talking about. For George H.W. Bush, I think that George H.W. Bush was a good leader for the country but was not a strong leader like Ronald Reagan. As for George W. Bush, I voted for him twice and although I do approve of his leadership and his decision to go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan, I think that President Bush (the current one) needs to focus on issues at home including improving education because during the 2000 Presidential Election, he said that education was his top priority and I do not know if that is still his number one priority.

I like bush for the same reason as I believes he loves his country more than kerry.  I also believe Bush knows what capitalism is and the function of the government.  I think he is doing a great job.  The only problem is the dem are doing a better job bad mouthing the prseident and making things look worse than they really are.

No President can satisfy each and every individual.  In the given circumstance, his is the best. Even the best President of US will do the same thing what Bush has done. His actions are the best.  Take it from me, the next president of US will make the present one the best - his worst critics will only say these words.  His actions were all by and large good ones. No doubt.

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.

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.

I'm a repulican and I don't think he will be considered a good president. I don't think he is a good president. When he was Governor of Texas, he was a very good Governor. He bult a lot of new roads (which we needed), he imporved education and was very good at reaching across the aisle to democrats. Our Lt. Governor was Bob Bullock(a democrat) and he endorsed Bush for Prez. I don't know what happened to him once he reached Washington.

I believe President George W. Bush lacks good judgement because he believes God is engaged in a battle with Satan for the control of the world and that he was elected President because God chose him to use that office to fight Satan.

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! It's about time that someone had the guts to speak up and say it like it is.\n\nGeorge W. Bush...is by far one of the best presidents that we have had the honor of having in office for a very very long time. Yes, he has made some mistakes but what we need to look at is the % of what he's done right vs. what he has goofed on. \n\nI beleive that we did the right thing by going to the Middle East. The TERRORISTS are destroying this country, it's up to us...American citizens. To stand behind our president and give him the much needed support that he deserves. \n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!! & GOD BLESS GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!!
