What do Americans REALLY think about George W Bush?

Question

He isn't very popular looking in on America from abroad, but after watching the DNC 08 videos I wonder what you think about him if you live there?

Answer 1

For the first four years, the majority of Americans (enough to get him elected) thought he was good enough. Now, because many of us are getting tired of the Iraq War, because the economy's down the drain, many of us are very tired of him. If only he hadn't been reelected!

Answer 2

i think that we will be begging for him back come about july of 2009.

Answer 3

Everyone has his own opinion.  I think that Al Gore would have made a better President.  However, in the last election we had to decide between Bush and Kerry, and Kerry's an even bigger loser than Bush.  

In my opinion Bush was treated unfairly by the press and by the Democrats.  I think that history will give him high marks for standing by his principles, and low marks for communicating with the people.  His decision making is a mixed bag.  He based the war in Iraq on bad information and followed a foreign policy of unilateral decision-making.

While Bush remains unpopular, he is not a bad president.  Perhaps our worst was Jimmy Carter.  And I would still rate Bush as better than Bill Clinton who was a consummate liar, and had no principles.

Answer 4

He is a very nice person, but a bad president. cos he surrounds him self  with some not so good people.(Cheney).

Since he is also an American, all we can do is completely disagree with him and scrutinize his every move, decision and continue to hold him accountable for his decisions and actions.

Answer 6

see the polls, the % age of americans who support bush,the majority doesn't support him

Answer 7

he is powerless , those around him(big money) are the scoundrel .

Answer 8

I'll always remember Bush's elections as when America got a boob job. Because that is exactly what happened.

Answer 9

He has been a failure....incompetant or corrupt....the jury is still out...but a failure for sure....unless you were among the top five percent of Americans in terms of wealth...you guys gotta love em!!!!

Answer 10

I think of him as a national embarrassment, and a product of a corrupt power system. I can only hope that no matter the outcome of this election, we can recover from the ineptitude and disastrous policies of his administration.

Answer 11

Not all Americans think exactly the same thing. I have different thoughts about him than do 99% of other Americans, and among those 99% of others, there are a lot of other thoughts.

Answer 12

His approval ratings are an all-time low for a president.

For a reason.

Answer 13

Like all humans, he made some good decisions and he made some bad decisions.  The difference of opinion on the left and right is how each evaluates which decisions were good and which were bad.  Anyone who says he is all evil in not being objective and anyone who says he is a saint is not being objective.  The truth is a combination of both, just like with every other president before him.
