Why dont you like george bush? or why do you like him? and who was the best president of the US? ?

Question

Please serious answers, thank you

Answer 1

I don't like him because he wanted to go to war for gun money and oil money. He's also a satanist and a member of the secret society of the "skull and cross bones"

Christian.... yeah right. that was just to manipulate Chirstian voters.

Not Barack Obama though, He is for real. He's not using the Christian ticket to get elected. He has my vote. I might even become a democrat.

Answer 2

I can't say that I dislike George W. Bush himself.  He seems OK - a little slow, a bit of a clod and definitely not fit to be president, but hey - Are any of the ones that end up in office ever truly fit?  I think that had there not been a war, we would have found him lovable and amusing even though he is inept.  The best that we can hope for in a President is an individual with charisma with a cabinet and advisers that make the choicest that are best for the welfare of our country.  Alas, I do not see that happening anytime in the near future.  The only answer is intelligent socialism and this country will never embrace such a concept even though.......

Well, that is a topic for another question.

Answer 3

I'm 50/50 with Bush. He's made some bad choices, and the economy isn't exactly healthy, but if you look past his speech blunders and other such, he's really not that bad. People don't like him because of the war, but look domestically. Education is booming and, considering the circumstances (10 months into his presidency, 9/11 happened. That REALLY sucks), he didn't do all that bad of a job. Not really a Lincoln or a Roosevelt, but he's not the worst that has ever come along. *coughHooverAdamscough*

Nixon. Watergate wasn't a presidential issue, it was a campaign issue, and while it does define his presidency, it shouldn't. His foreign policy was great, and domestically, things weren't too bad until the Ford and Carter administrations.

The USA Patriot Act becomes law. Among other things the law: makes it a crime for anyone to contribute money or material support for any group on the State Department’s Terror Watch List, allows the FBI to monitor and tape conversations between attorneys and clients, allows the FBI to order librarians to turn over information about patron’s reading habits, allows the government to conduct surveillance on internet and email use of US citizens without notice. The act also calls for expanded use of National Security Letters (NSLs), which allow the FBI to search telephone, email and financial records of US citizens without a court order, exempts the government from needing to reveal how evidence against suspected terrorists was obtained and authorizes indefinite detention of immigrants at the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities.

NJ Superior court judge and civil liberties scholar Anthony Napolitano, author of A Nation of Sheep, has described the law’s assault on first and fourth amendment principles as follows, “The Patriot Act’s two most principle constitutional errors are an assault on the Fourth Amendment, and on the First. It permits federal agents to write their own search warrants [under the name “national security letters”] with no judge having examined evidence and agreed that it’s likely that the person or thing the government wants to search will reveal evidence of a crime… Not only that, but the Patriot Act makes it a felony for the recipient of a self-written search warrant to reveal it to anyone. The Patriot Act allows [agents] to serve self-written search warrants on financial institutions, and the Intelligence Authorization Act of 2004 in Orwellian language defines that to include in addition to banks, also delis, bodegas, restaurants, hotels, doctors' offices, lawyers’ offices, telecoms, HMOs, hospitals, casinos, jewelry dealers, automobile dealers, boat dealers, and that great financial institution to which we all would repose our fortunes, the post office.
