Is it right for people who didn't vote to complain about our president?

The votes were counted, it just didn't turn out like some people were hoping for. Anyway, they do have the right (freedom of speech) but they're credibility on the issue goes right out the window since if they didn't vote

If people don't vote, they need to accept everyone else's decisions becuase that is why you have the right to vote.  You each have to exercise that right or you don't have anyone to blame but yourself.

A lot of people feel they are wasting their vote if they vote for anything other than a democrat or republican.  True, they may be wasting their vote anyway, but at least their voting.  Many other people have a political agenda to support their reasons for voting for the two major parties as well.  \n\nGetting people to vote is the big problem.  The loudest complainers are usually the ones not voting.  They'll never vote, they'll just go on complaining.  \n\nMost people are concerned about what's on sale at Walmart and Target or who the next American Idol will be.

I think that usually the people "bad mouthing" their leaders ARE the people who voted for the other candidate.  As long as you vote, you have the right to criticize anyone you want!  It's the non-voters who need to shut their traps!

I saw that too and I didn't feel sorry for him one bit . He is the President of this country and represents us all and I felt embarrassed for the USA . I didn't vote for him but some of you out there did . The people of the world see right through him . I think they feel sorry for this great Nation . We deserve better for our money .

Because, we're in the age the age group that loves to complain but, not help find the solution.Some think what can my vote accomplish without realizing how their hurting the States.They think someone can or will make that difference for me.I'm a proud voter for 3years now.Ever since i was 18 and i'm in that age group but, i believe i can help make a difference it takes more then the older generation to help this country.It takes all that are of age to vote and work together.Instand of just complaining and whining and trying to place blame.

Because the 'people' didn't know any better. Why in the world do you keep believing the lies that some jackass politician (any politician) tells you? \nVoting doesn't make any difference; so stop voting! \n\nBeware of stupid people in large numbers!!\n\nI never said I didn't vote. And not voting doesn't make you any less of an American!! But does voting really change anything? NO!  The more something changes the more it stays the same.  Has anything really changed? Are we better off each time we vote in someone different? No. We're still in the same hole we were before.\nGeorge Carlin puts it simply (Not a direct quote): if I don't vote and get a crappy president (Republican or Democrat), I should have every right to complain..I didn't vote the idiot in.  You on the other hand, the ones that voted, have no right to complain...you believed them.

it's not us per say. it's our president making the decisions that people have to follow. ask him.

First things first. You need to weed out all the people who didn't vote in 2004. Because if you didn't vote you have no right to complain.\n\nThen you need to realize what you are dealing with is a bunch of spoiled brats that aren't getting their own way.

I don't take personally the result of the policies made by George Bush.  I happen to be a citizen of this country, but I'm not responsible for the asinine decisions he's made.  I didn't vote for him, so it's hard to take the views of those in other countries personally..  They should understand that I cannot control the President any more than they can control the leader of their country.

Yes, I do because the President is still responsible for what he says and does as long as he is the President, but you're right I didn't vote for the president, I voted for John Kerry.

The last time I voted was when Bill Clinton was elected.  I voted once before that.  I chose not to vote in the past elections because I never felt there was a candidate worth his salt or my time.\n\nI know some say that if you don't vote you don't get change but if I had voted and it made a difference- would we really have been better off with the likes of Kerry in the white house.  People say anyone would be better than Bush and that may be so- but at the time of the election- I sure didnt feel we would be better with Kerry and I didn't want to see Bush there so I chose not to choose.

I, like most Americans I would bet, haven't been paying enough attention. The few news sound bites and newspaper headlines is hardly enough to be making such decisions.  However, I still have enough faith in our elected officials to are sitting through hours of testimony and reviewing documents and such, to make the right decision.  So if they vote 'em in, the my answer to your question is 'yes'.

I think that some young people do not want to vote because they find voting being meaningless but yet, they are the ones who complain a lot about the government. I believe that if you do not vote, DO NOT Complain on what is happening where you live.

I personally do not see how.  How one can feel that we will be fine as a nation.  We are so divided.  We have a president distroying our country, not just economically, but internationally our rep has gone down the tubes.  When our next election comes I hope we elect someone who can fix the f-ups he has made.

I think no to both questions.  I know that after he "lost" the election, I hate saying that because the majority of voters voted for him,   he really seemed to go through a little depression or something.  He gained a lot of weight, he let the beard grow in and went gray.  That's not something I want in world leader, they should always appear to be in control of their careers and personal lives. Give an air of confidence not defeat.
