Answer 2

While I agree with the other answers, Dubya is also a cocaine fiend, which is his one redeeming value. I'd like to party with the guy *sniffle*

Oliver Stone's new film on the Dubya will chronicle how an alcoholic bum rose to become one of the most powerful leaders in the world.

Answer 3

Just think about oil prices,he owns several oil compines.

Answer 4

1.The Bush debacles over Hurricane Katrina

2. Bush, Cheney 'involved' in events that led to him lying about the CIA leak of an operatives name.

3. Bush consenting to a baseless, hyped up war with Iraq, where he acted without sufficient support, and this led to UN difficulties for the US and a bleeding of American lives and resources. He has been a liability in foreign affairs for the above reasons.

4. Bush’s greatest blunder was an abject dismissal of global climate change and the true crises we are facing. He has been worthless in facing this problem and implementing any meaningful improvement. In fact, he has fired scientists who have dared to share complete facts. Bush has demanded them to change scientific FACTS, some that cost millions of dollars to establish, just to fit his policy on global climate change.

5. The hack-o-matic vote counting systems from Diebold, ES&S, and Sequoia. In Election 2004, they counted about 80 percent of all votes cast. With the simultaneous 'staffing problems' that seem to accompany only democratic dominated districts. All of this warrants criminally prosecuting and imprisoning Bush. etc

6. Bush’s forcing through of the 'patriot act' and similar policies. This has eroded civil/CONSTITUITIONAL rights more than any thing over the last 236 years. Will we ever recover our basic rights upholding integrity for the ordinary citizen?

7. Diminishing access to abortion.



8. Useless abstinence only s*x education.

  Not funding condoms and education about use of condoms in Africa.



9. Not paying attention to warnings about the serious threat of Al Quaida when first taking office.  Not fulfilling promises to Afghanistan to stabilize and rebuild the country.  Not finding Bin Laden.



10. Deregulation of the banking industry causing the housing meltdown.



11. Destroying the economy further when we fell into recession by not acknowledging the scope of its destruction. And continuing to let the rich get out of paying their actual tax debt, therefore, The rich getting much richer; the poor getting much poorer. The poor keep getting poorer because they are worked and taxed to death. You cannot get ahead when you can't access affordable education and do not have time to commit to it.

12.Nixon respected the office enough to step down with an apology after he soiled it. 'W' will NEVER admit mistakes- just unforgivable.

13. Bush, his ability to mobilize public support and get Congress to go along with what one historian called the administration's "pursuit of disastrous policies."

14. Allowing our troops to go to war without sufficient protective equipment like HELMETS! Meaders is a retired Navy doctor who -- almost accidentally -- has taken the lead in outfitting troops and Marines with key safety equipment for helmets. It's equipment the U.S. government did not provide.

Bush is not only a failure, but has actively set the US back in social progress, scientific progress, and constituitional rights. In fact, he will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.

There is more than that too, just give me a second.

Answer 5

he forgot that he was elected to represent all Americans not just republicans or the wealthy. that, taken together with the way the rules were bent to circumvent the restrictions on his powers and the willingness of the republicans in the congress to go along with the right-wing  agenda, is how you end up on the wrong side of public opinion. the 28% ffavorable rating is reflective of the number of people that have benefited from his leadership.

Answer 6

He appears to be terrible by those elements and the religious fanatics  wanting to take over the world, or those who support the drift into world communism, or nearer to home those who want to live off the state benefits as is happening in the UK by supporting the Democrats party

Answer 7

Because the Republicans that were in office before he was and were in when he was, helped him to run wild with corruption and all their power and no one to stop it or know about the misdealings that were going on.  Anyone that questioned th ebreaking of the Constitution by Bush or on his behalf was fired!!!! Then if the American peole questioned it they were told they were unpatriotic,  It strikes a weird cord that the advertising he and his father had preying on peoples fears aboout AMerica being taken over, was an indication of what was in store , People bought into  it, believed him feared , ignored the truth , and he was home free!! Sorry to say actions people ignore, what peole say they go on and on about as if it were worse , I don t  get why!!

Answer 8

When one has never been held responsible for failures in life from childhood on, how can one expect him to be anything other than mediocre at best.  Do some research into his early years. How he had to go to Massachusetts to attend Prep school because none in Texas would accept him..  Refused admittance to College in Texas, was forced to Go to Ct.  and apply @ Yale.  Both Andover Prep in Ma, and Yale in Ct. were schools DADDY had graduated from.  A "Legacy" student was what he was granted admission only because DADDY had graduated many years earlier. There is so much more.  There was the TANG horror show, followed up by the MBA from Harvard,  and the multiple business failures that were bailed out by DADDY and his Saudi friends.  You want more?  There is so much more you could spend days at your computer having your eyes opened to all of juniors follies, and that does NOT include the number of things that have been removed from public access, and records that have been sanitized, and sealed.  Many, many dark secrets that the public is now unable to access.

Answer 9

We were attacked on 9/11. Instead of tackling the heart of the terrorism issue, Bush lied and exaggerated the threat of an unrelated enemy- Iraq,  with purposely distorted information, with a quest to create a haven in the middle east. As a result over 1 million people have been killed, over a trillion dollars lost and counting for no apparent benefit, and now we don't have the troop numbers we need to fight in Afghanistan. Iraq has diverted attention needlessly away from the real center of Islamic radicalism which is on the border of Pakistan. In addition, Bush has pissed on the constitution, decreased the respect of the U.S. worldwide, and has a rock bottom approval rating.
