Answer 2

I am guessing you will not get a lot of answers to your question because there is no way to prove you wrong.  The only good that Bush did for our country...his stupidity gave a lot of shows and comedians a lot of material to make fun of the man.  Hats off to Frank Caliendo

Answer 3

Well....

He's sure boosted the careers of many writers, journalists and bloggers who document all the idiocy that has come from his administration.

That's a good thing, right?

Answer 4

Bush legislated from the left on most issues except the most important one...national Defense.

Answer 5

Bush sucks.... period... Supporters just don't like to loose.

Answer 6

HAHAHA someone said the economy is still strong!!! that person must be living in a hole VERY deep underground.  

Answer 7

Compare Clinton and Bush , you will find Bush as a disaster for American economy, American status in world.

If Republicans win, I will stop paying taxes, I am not going to pay them for their war profiteer buddies.

There was no fear of Saddam's camp but you will be living in n**i camp's soon if these cowards come into power, Dont help them by paying taxes.

Answer 8

1. This country is not being run by islamic terrorists.

Answer 9

Bush was great the first 4 yrs because he brought the country together after 9/11. Its the 2nd 4yrs that fell apart on him. But we can't just blame him we have had a Democratic congress. If Bush did not do a good job the first 4yrs then we would not had re-elected him.  

Answer 10

cuz bush is a good president. period.

Answer 11

There isn't many Bush supporter with a rating of only 27%

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Answer 12

Good question and it amazes me that people are asking you what he did that was wrong. Why has our educational system failed these people, oh yeah bush cut funding to most of our educational programs I forgot there for a second.

Answer 13

No BJs in the oval office and no more attacks since 911, good economy for 7 years, still no recession, tax cuts for everyone. If you think this is bad you probably did not live through the Jimmy Carter years, double digit inflation, double digit prime rates, gas shortages and high prices, 50 American hostages sat in Iran for over one year, a real recession with no jobs. No comparison Bush is not doing that badly,if congress would let us increase our domestic oil production our economy would be even better.

Answer 14

they think the iraq war is a success and they think not looking for Bin Laden is success

Answer 15

Bush brainwashed them all repulicans have to say nice things like that about their president (i refuse to call him my prsident) their in denial

Answer 16

Wait is there such thing to this day as a "bush supporter"? lol, ive never seen a world leader as bad as this one. Just really biased people who supported him in the beginning would say it now cause they dont like to be proven wrong. Or people who really hate America's development in a good direction

Answer 17

Never once said Bush was great just said he was a major improvement over Kerry or Gore.   Guess that speaks volumes doesnt it?

Answer 18

The burden of proof falls onto the one making the claim. Where is the proof of all the horrible things libs claim bush has done during his presidency?

Answer 19

No terrorist attacks on american soil since 9/11 despite MANY attempts against our lives.

Won 2 wars overseas.

Gave record amounts of aid to African nations.

Economy holding strong despite 2 of the biggest disasters in our nations history:  9/11 and Katrina

Answer 20

He made us safer by tapping our phones.

He made us more respected by torturing prisoners.  

He helped the rich by lowering their taxes.

He helped the world by allowing allowing them to have our good jobs.

He tried to help illegal immigrants by giving them a path to citizenship.

Answer 21

No repeat performance of 9/11 is good enough for me.

Answer 22

THey say that because bush supposedly only did what he had to do in a hard term. In other words thy seem to say that all the bad stuff did not happen because of him but in spite of him.

I call bullshit. Bush sucks. He started the war, plain and simple. His terrible diplomatic stance made everyone hate us. And his stupidity just kept digging him a bigger hole he could never climb out of.

But don't place all the blame him, he did to the best of his ability. Which was ****.

Its the idiots who voted for him even after he sucked so much that are at real fault.

Answer 23

Probably the same reason Obama supporters exaggerate his his experience in anything other than cocaine and g*y s*x.  

Answer 24

dates, names, places to show that "someone did a good job".  That's absurd.That is an opinion, not a fact that can be prooved.  

And why bother, from the tone of your question, it is clear you won't accept any answers anyway (because it is opinion) and you only asked the question to try to make a point.  No one is going to change their mind because of your "question".

Anyway, I don't think he's done a good job.  I think he has been the most liberal republican president - ever.  We need a conservative in thie white house again.

Answer 25

They have the facts---they just keep them in their pocketbooks. 'Good job' is a relative phrase.

Answer 26

You are right, this is one of the worst messes I ever seen. Sadly if

a democrate gets President, you know the Republicans will blame

him which will take his whole term or more to fix it.

Answer 27

Because they're Bush supporters. They're as intelligent as he is...meaning no intelligence.  

Answer 28

he has done a great job. do your own homework. nothing anyone says will convince you that you are nothing but an anti-American obama drone.

Answer 29

my fav is his taxation policies...

Great, he didn't raise them.  Too bad median wages have been far outpaced by inflation since, ohhh 2002.

inflation is a tax, a tax on the poor from the rich.  That is why we have artificial inflation.  If you're money isn't worth 97% of what it was 12 months ago for no reason, thats a tax.  If the only way to avoid this tax is to invest and you do not posess the funds to invest...  You have no way of getting around the tax.  yes, the rich deal with the same thing, but they do have the capital to invest to far outweigh inflation.

And yes, artificial inflation is actually encouraged in this country.

Answer 30

I know you have a computer cause you asked this question. Now take that same keyboard and do your own research and stop waiting on others to do it for you. I agree with the person who said you need to provide your data as to why you think all this is Bush's fault.

Answer 31

There are plenty of facts, honey, but why should I do your research for you when NOTHING will convince you otherwise anyway? Really. Jesus Christ could come down, hand you the names, dates, reasons and you STILL wouldn't believe it. So why bother?
