Has Bush actually been that bad of a president?

Question

Honestly, I don't think it is his fault personally, just the people in his administration. And I know you guys are going to say, "Well he hired them." But the decisions HE made himself weren't that bad. I mean, we were struck by Terrorists on 9/11 and Bush went hardcore and attacked Afghanistan. Then we invaded Iraq because we thought Iraq was making WMD's. Even though they weren't we ousted a horrible dictator and are currently bringing the region back to stability. He was just given bad intel. When the Tsunami hit, he sent the Navy to assist the devastated people of Thailand and Malaysia. Yes he has had his mistakes, but what President hasn't? Look at Franklin Roosevelt! If he hadn't decided to be anti-war, we wouldn't have had Pearl Harbor. But he led us out of the Great Depression, so he is a lot like Bush. Look at Nixon, he effectively ended the Vietnam War by the bombing of NV, and yes was almost impeached. So HE is a lot like Bush. Also, those high gas prices aren't his fault, they are our fault because we never stop driving our d**n cars and he is forced by us to get that oil from Saudi Arabia because they are the only country that can give us somewhat cheap oil. Russia will use the money for it's military, and Canada's Oil Sand is much to expensive to refine. What are your thoughts on the President?

Answer 1

yes he has been a bad president, and people that are voting for mccain is wanting more of the same.  

Answer 2

The only thing I've ever had against George Bush is pushing Israel into dividing Jerusalem with that lawless society of Palestinian Hamas terrorists.  When Bush let Israel give up the Gaza for peace, that let me know that no one in Washington knows that they are dealing with lying, no integrity, Islamic radicals who had rather lie than tell the truth.

You can't deal with the Yasser Arafat's of this world which is a glorified ex-leader of a terrorist's organization.  Same with Hezbollah, they cannot be dealt with.  If they ever signed an agreement you couldn't believe them. They know one thing and one thing only and that is war and brute force.  Hezbollah now has Lebanon back which at one time before Islam invaded Lebanon was a fairly decent country.

The USA, Israel and their allies must stand against Putin's Russia, Syria, Hezbollah's Lebanon, Hamas' Palestine, Egypt, Iran, etc.

Giving away Israel's land will never, never, never bring peace because you aren't dealing with peaceful people.

America is suffering greatly for standing by and letting Gaza be destroyed.  God didn't bless America for this nation to let God's people be pushed around.  God wasn't happy with Britain for what they did with Israel's land and God is not happy today with America.

You either believe God and His Word or you don't believe God.  And if you knew the Lord, you would know that He is more than able to protect His Word and His land.  God will not be mocked!

There is no living in peace with people who hate.  

Answer 3

No he hasn't.

Many of the problems that Bush has had during his presidency are a direct result of Clinton and Democrats.

USS Cole, Sept 11th, Current oil prices, All results of Clintons refusal to do anything about the situations during the 90's.

Clinton has 3 opportunities to kill Bin Laden. Didn't take them.

Clinton cut the military by large amounts. That is the reason the military is streched so thin, Still recovering from Clinton era.

Clinton refused to drill for oil in the 90's due to "We won't get a drop for 10 years"

The Democrat attack machine has convinced a large number of people the Bush is incompetent. but they are simply using the tactics of one of thier influences... Saul Alinsky.

Many Americans just don't check the facts for themselves they just go on what they are told.

Answer 4

How about the report that was published that proves beyond a reasonable  doubt that the Bush administration purposely mislead the American people into a war on "terror" in order to create a war for profit?

Just one out of many atrocities we have witnessed from this administration.

Answer 5

Corruption at the highest levels, torture, USA invaded another country with out cause. the list is long. war profiteering etc. ever increasing loss of freedoms at home and greater secrecy.

Now to deal with your misinformation, you watch only main stream media and are not predisposed to history, so 1. FDR was not anti-war but ran on that platform because he knew the people would not vote for war, read his real thoughts and actions you will note he was for US involvement very early.

2. Bombing North Viet Nam led to increased Viet Cong activity, only the vast unrest and anti-war sentiment led to Vietnamization plan. then Henry Kissinger and Le Duc To Negotiated peace accord.

3. Bush sr. got Saudi Arabia to sign a deal in late 70's early 80's that would guarantee the security of the Kingdom with US troops and huge aid package for SA to subvert OPEC, this has in the long run cost us dearly, 9/11 was a direct result of our involvement in that agreement.

4. we out spend Russia by close to 12 times on military spending and we increase each year Russia has little increase, and is growing economically very fast due to oil sales and not over spending on defense.

Answer 6

When Bush came in to office he was interested in building an oil pipeline and was negotiating with the Taliban. Him and his administration ignored a Presidential Daily Briefing "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the United States." After the 9/11 disaster he went into Afghanistan and then turned around and attacked Iraq. WMDs and Saddam helped plan 9/11 - both lies. Bush later admits that Saddam H. played not part in the attacks. The administrations handling of the Katrina situation was a disaster in it self.  

Answer 7

Americans are gullible and will believe anything we tell them.

The media throws up exaggerated news about our government to get more ratings.

Kennedy strongly went with the Bay of Pigs invasion, while all his cabinet said no. It was a big mistake, but they decided not to publisize it.

Publicity is big nowadays, each side bombing the other.

Answer 8

No, he has done many remarkable things despite the Congress.  He has kept us safe since 9/11 and I am proud to say that I voted for this president twice.

Answer 9

Honestly I don't know, a lot of people will say yes he is that bad.  However history might remember him very differently depending on what happens in the next two decades or so.  People are so quick to judge, but with history, time will tell.

Answer 10

Yes he's terrible thats why im for Oboma
