Why is there so much Bush bashing?

Question

Have we forgotten that our President Bush brought us through 911? That his strength and courage was a encouragement to millions of americans liberal and conservative. That he stood up to terrorists and refused to be a weak limp wrist talker. That WE HAVE NOT had a terrorist attack on our soil since 911!!!!!!!!! That he stood up to dictators that would love to kill us all. That his prayers for us all have gone up to God every day. That he was not afraid to make unpopular choices and go against the flow, a mark of a real leader. AND, he gave all Americans two rebate checks to help, even liberals had fun spending them... How ungrateful and forgetful we all are. How blinded we are by our own party loyalties. How we refuse to see any good in another person. I hated having Clinton for 8 years with his serial sexual lack of respect for his position, his wife and his country, BUT I certainly can see some good in him and I don't question his love for his country. Why all the hate for Bush, I didn't think he was that bad and history will shout this truth in the years to come! Someone give Bush some credit!

Answer 1

a neutral point of view (I'm not American) :

Clinton : great economic results, no useless war, no terrorist attacks on US soil, very positive image outside the US, most positive progress on Israel-Palestine conflict

Bush : 911, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kathrina, subprime crisis, atrocious economic decisions and results, lots of hatred for  the US in the world etc... can't see a positive point...really

Answer 2

because of bill clinton. he was such a disgrace to the country that liberals are desperate to make a normal person like bush look like hitler in order to make cliinton seem less of an idiot

Answer 3

It isn't Bush bashing; no matter which Republican had won after Clinton was outed as a criminal (and a corrupt one at that) would have had their character assassinated.  Truth doesn't matter when it comes to pay back.

Bush does get credit - one just has to look in journals rather then from the entertainment news.  They also point out his legitimate failures.

Answer 4

er... where's Osama again?

how do you kill 3,000 Americans and get away with it?

do it on Bush's watch...

Answer 5

Wow, how gracious of him to give us rebate checks for $600 out of the money he already took from us, while the oil companies that he is such good friends with roll in billions and continue to rob us every day. Do you live under a rock? Pull your head out of your bible and look at what's going on around you

Answer 6

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT! ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE HAD THE BACK BONE TO SPEAK OUT FOR BUSH. I WAS A DEMOCRAT TILL 9/11. I VOTED FOR THE DEMS FOR 35 YEARS I DONT ANY MORE.  I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPECT OF OUR PRESIDENT, AND BUSH IS TOUGH , SURE CANT CALL HIM A WHIMP AND THINK HES DONE ONE HECK OF A JOB, HES BEEN A HARD WORKER AND ALWAYS ON THE GO. WHEN HE TAKES A TRIP TO HIS RANCH IN TEXAS YOU CAN BET HES WORKING. EVEN PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE SHOULD NO THAT SADDAM REMOVED THOSE WMDS BEFORE WE EVER GOT THERE. BRAVO FOR YOU SAYING WHAT I WANTED TO SAY AND DIDNT. THANK GOD FINALLY A VOICE OF REASON!

Answer 7

Did you just wake up out of a coma????  do some serious reading.  The information is readily available.  You won't hear it from Hannity or Limbaugh, but you won't have to search long or hard for the truth.

Answer 8

Liberals blame Bush so they don't have to think for themselves. A simple solution for simple minds.

Answer 9

Listen I am willing to give Bush credit where he did well, I voted for him twice. He has made some pretty big mistakes too though and he does deserve to take the heat for them. I admire many of his policies and support them, but what I cant support is the spending spree he and congress went on and he did a major blunder in the war on terror. He kept Rumsfeld around WAAAYYYY to long. He should have benched him and chaged tactics like he was being advised to do. We might be done in Iraq and have alot more done in Afghanistan today if he had done that.

Mdeep Clinton took us to bosnia and somolia, he was ineffective and kissed the UNs butt on Iraq and their useless warnings given to hussein while the Oil for food deal was only making Hussein richer. There were terror attacks on US soil, the first attempt on the World Trade center happened while Clinton was president, the USS cole happened, at least 2 Embassy bombings, and Clinton did nothing. He was too busy defending his extra curricular sexcapades.

Answer 10

A tree stump could have brought us through 911.

Answer 11

There is no hatred for Bush, but those 80% of us who feel our country has been headed in the wrong direction for the past 8 years have intense problems with his subversion of our Constitution and bending the Rule of Law to fit his and Cheney's idea of an imperial presidency.  

Answer 12

Bush will go down as the worst president ever.

Answer 13

I think your question is trying to provoke hostile answers. Nobody in their right mind would wonder why America despises Bush and hates all of congress.

Answer 14

Because the rich have gotten richer, and the middle class has gotten poorer during the Bush Administration.

Because Bush did nothing to prevent 9/11, even though he was warned.

Because we're in debt up to our eyeballs to the Chinese.

Because gas prices have more than doubled on his watch.

Answer 15

Liberals have decided it is their excuse for having a democratic Senate and House of Rep that can't fix anything.

Answer 16

More than 4000 young Americans brought home in body bags and thousands more missing limbs and otherwise maimed from a war based on lies and misinformation gives me good enough reason to bash anyone.
