I agree! The Patriot Act is one giant violation of the Consitution and common decency in general.
He's responsible for the deaths of tons of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He's out of
office now, and I'm still shocked that he was re-elected.
Also, the decisions he made while in office hurt the American people on a smaller scale. The war in
Iraq ripped my family apart, and no one in my family is even in the military anymore. My sister and
I have lost friends over this stuff. |

Bush ruined this country with his treasonist law the Patriot Act. |

|

|
|
|
He tries but...he's a crack head |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Right now I'm trying to think of something good that he's done--I'm drawing a blank. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Just look at the state the country is in |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is a pity, but yes.
He has worsened the relations with Europe and other parts of the World.
He did not present any intelligent solution to the crisis (although I am glad that he tries at least
to defend capitalism) and he has even boosted the power of the state and lead unreasonable wars. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The harm:good ratio of Bush's work is about 1 million:1. He lied to Congress about weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq, he cut taxes for the rich, the people who need tax cuts least, he raised our
dependence on foreign oil, thereby virtually creating the recession...the list could go on and on. |

Sorry To Say Chadocat But Recent Studies Have Shown That GWB Is In Fact...
The Missing Link Between Humans And Apes.
It Was That Or He Had A Brain Disease That Made Him Defy Common Sence.
I Can't Remember Which |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Yes, sorry to have to say it.
In the eyes of the world, at least Bill Clinton, was just a disgrace and a lier. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Yup.
Bush came up with that stupid Patriot Act screwed our rights:
The Patriot Act is a direct violation against our beloved Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The Patriot Act is TREASONISTIC to the core. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

Omg yes. He is a terrible president. One of the only things he has done that he did that was good
was the no child left behind act. |

How is the way he's handling the economy an upside to his presidency? How does the U.S. Have 600$
extra per person to just throw out? Not to mention what American can afford to stimulate the
economy with 'bonus' money... Why wasn't that money used as stimulus... It disgusts me that people
are supposed to stimulate their own economy... Since when is bush some idealist that can challenge
people to do the the right thing... Its like bribes for votes in an election he doesn't realize
doesn't exist... Its like postponing his impeachment that isn't even on the table... He is such a
car salesman president... |

He has done more damage then anybody and it will take this country a lot to get out of this mess. He
doesn’t care because that’s the person he is. I will give him a little slack on 9/11 tho it
would be really hard to do that part but as I am concerned on the billions and trillions of dollars
in debut that is horrible he sucks and I don't know why we didn't veto him out. |

This is so flipping obvious that I simply don't understand how anyone could write a word in the "I'm

which I say thank goodness. |

Well of course he has
the terrorist didn't want U.S influence in there country
then we go in a mess things up and butt in on their government
honestly that's dumb and now the fact that we are in a recession and the fact that that gas is so
expensive who is he helping there. |

He launched us into an idiotic war over imaginary weapons of mass destruction, resulting in the
deaths of thousands of people. |

Absolutely, I support this statement keeping in view the international scenario. G. W. Bush is the
man who has not only put his nation under threats but also the international community is facing
great dangers due to his blunders.
The blunder series of Mr. Bush starts with the Zionist planned 9/11 conspiracy which finally led to
the disastrous Afghan War. This war, better to say "War without End", has brought miseries not only
to Afghans but also to the region. The series goes on and you find yourself involved in Iraq war,
an absolute blunder which began in search of Weapons of Mass destruction that the fanatic Mr. Bush
saw in his dreams. He is nearly to add another to his blunder tally by taking on Iran. The result of
these blunders brought many economic problems for US which affected the whole international economy.
I think the driving force behind these actions of G. W. Bush, is the triangle of Zionism, greed for
oil and desire for dominance. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I'm inclined to agree. His doctrine of preemptive war is terrible and gives the activity of
terrorists more strategic control over our foreign policy than they deserve. Furthermore, after
having an historically significant chance to reshape the UN to become a more effective international
affairs regulator, he abandoned this potential in favor of a destructive war which was poorly
conceived and poorly completed. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
He is the worst president so far. Look at his war campaign. He wants more than 5 billion dollars
into the war. Instead, we could have been investing it in something useful such as education. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I haven't seen any good come from his actions. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Well duh he put us into a never ending war He SUCKS |
| |

George W. Bush is surely going to win the award of the worst leader in the history of America. He is
one of the most incompetent leaders of the highest power in the entire history of the world as well.
Being in the seat of highest authority Bush should not divide the class what he is doing in a subtle
manner. If we look upon Bush’s accomplishments, we can find a common factor that all his deeds
consist of funneling of more and more money to those who have already full of it. This symbolizes
nothing but the kind of class warfare. He is not busy in improving the lower class of people but
only involving himself in rewarding his corporate contributors. And in his job he managed to get
some people who work nothing but only show the blind obedience. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

Bush has certainly done more harm than good, he's kept with the Neo-Con mantra of borrow and spend,
putting us trillions of dollars into debt while pursuing his own personal crusades using the
so-called "War on Terror" as an excuse. He's tried to force his own religious ideas into the
government over and over and frankly, anyone who is going to stand up as a leader of a nation and
say he's on speaking terms with an invisible friend in the sky needs to be carted away in a nice
white jacket with arms that tie in the back. |

George B. Is ridiculous. I seriously think he is the worst president, and most selfish president we
have ever had.
|

George W. Bush is one of the most inept leaders of a major power in the entire history of the world,
maybe even the most inept. It is staggering how much damage he has done in only seven years.
David Suggs lists all Bush's accomplishments. Not one seems truly good to me. All consist of
funnelling more money to those who already have it, a kind of class warfare in fact, or in rewarding
his corporate contributors.
Foreign observers, like me, find the mentality expressed in some of Suggs' words frightening.
"As citizens of the United States, it is our duty to support our president in every decision he
makes, else we should leave."
It's amazing that anyone in a democratic country can express such sentiments. This is the kind of
thing you would expect a person in North Korea to say. The duty of a citizen in a democracy is to
exercise informed scrutiny of their elected representatives, not show blind obedience towards them. |

From a British persons perspective Bush has done an enormous amount of harm both at home and
abroad.
He's made America and Europe targets for terrorism eg The Twin Towers, Spain, London and has made
the situation in Iraq a nightmare, along with Blair that is.
He cannot communicate intelligently, he appears to be a buffoon and he is dangerous. He supports the
death penalty whilst professing to be a christian and goes from one disaster to another.
There was no evidence for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and if most of us knew that how come
he did. Life under Saddam must have been hell but it's worse now. He and Blair had no right to
invade Iraq. They have unleashed terrible threat onto the west.
|The American voters can make sure they do better next time by voting for an intelligent,
far-sighted president who can represent the US and give them credibility again in the world. I
believe that Clinton can do that but it's a lot of damage to repair. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

GW Bush has undone all the fiscal restraint on government spending the Clinton administration helped
put in place. Maybe that was the last hope to fix social security, health care and education. |

George W. Bush should never have become President in the first place. The whole thing was a sham and
now he is in power, and has been for the past 7 years, he has done nothing but look like an idiot...
Literally.
As Spartan76 has rightly pointed out his many "accomplishments" (or lack thereof), I'll just list a
few of his great quotes that he has made during his time in office (these are just some of many):
- "I don't particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say
it" - excuse me, what?
- "All I can tell you is when the governor calls, I answer his phone." - someone obviously helps
him to do that.
- "These people don't have tanks. They don't have ships. They hide in caves. They send suiciders
out." - just, awesome.
- "I know something about being a government. And you've got a good one." - it's "governor"
George.
- "I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here." - he's
magic.
- "Do you have blacks, too?" - he actually said that to the Brazilian President. I don't think I
could cringe anymore than that.
I mean, the guy is an idiot, or have I already said that? Maybe I did, anyway, hes an idiot. So much
so, that these "quotes" have even been given a name, "Bushisms", which is basically a term for a
hair brained comment made by someone with a pulse, but no further activity elsewhere.
If for nothing else, George "dubya" has single handedly caused more harm to the English language
than anyone else of his "importance" has before.
It's sad to think that with all the great Presidents of the past, GWB will be remembered for
"Bushisms". Way to go Georgie Boy! |

Frankly, I can't think of much he has done for good. He eventually signed up to the Kyoto Treaty
after years and years of refusing to play ball. Now he will be remembered for that. Perhaps he
will also be remembered for invading Iraq and the deaths of thousand of 'coalition' forces as well
as the ongoing civil war in Iraq. Invading another country is a pretty good way to be remembered
forever.
He was president when 9/11 occurred. He responded by flying high and staying out the way for as
long as possible. Then let's talk about Hurricane Katrina (as if 9/11 and Iraq weren't enough). He
has the most power in the world and he couldn't use it responsibly to save the lives of his own
people. Why? I don't need to stretch too far to point out that rich oil folk from unaffected areas,
probably don't care too much about poor Black people in affected areas. They are a nuisance to
them.
His total ignorance of the United Nations and his turning America into a 'Homeland', a construction
that did not exist before 9/11. Suddenly Homeland Security existed, but the US is not a
homeland.
He did survive two attempts by Michael Moore at character assassination, even pointing out that
there are REAL links between Bush and the Bin Laden family couldn't stop Americans from voting for
him. He must have been doing something good right? Well, the dollar is at its lowest ever against
the pound, so it sure isn't financial.
He has practically set the Islamic World against the West. There were no suicide bombers on Western
soil until after 9/11. He stoked the fires of terrorism. He and his friends and family ACTUALLY
benefited financially from all of this because they have shares in all of the companies involved not
only in producing the weapons, but rebuilding cities once they've been destroyed. Sell your own
military weapons, then drop them and destroy buildings, then sell your services in repairing or
rebuilding them. He's certainly done some good to the Bush Family's bank accounts.
So, as I said, it's hard to find any good that he's done. He 'rid' the world of Saddam Hussein and
made the world a less safe place to live in the same process. Bush has to go this time. |

Mark my words. Gwb will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents ever. Especially
considering this joke of a president we have now. Obama will end the USA. |
| |
|

|

I would have to disagree. As a person who loves Bush, I don't think he did a great job but he didn't
do bad. Everyone brings up 9/11, but what if he didn't fight back, we look weak. I think Obama isn't
going to be a great president. So far he has mad some horrible choices. |
| |
|
| |
|

Hes had to make very hard choices, you can't go saying that hes done nothing but bad. |

Bashing George W. Bush is like a favorite pass-time now for the clueless.
President Bush has had the toughest Presidency since Abraham Lincoln. He's had to make the toughest
and hardest decisions since the outbreak of our civil war and all he's gotten is partisan politics
from the left. It seems the left would take more delight in a victory from murdering terrorist if
it would mean a defeat for GWB. I'm not going to repeat all of what as already been stated but I
can name other Presidents who left office in disfavor: George Washinton, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson and Harry Truman. Now we look at them as great Presidents. In 20 years, if we don't give
our enemies the victory that Barak Obama, the Gores, Clintons and Kennedy's are so willing to give
them, we will see that George W. Bush given his circumstance was one of our better Presidents....and
most of his choices were correct. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
This makes no sense to me. We are the people who voted to put him as the president. So its a catch
22. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It may seem harm but if he didn't do it we would have more terrorist and bombing and such |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
In 20 years we'll look back on him as an incredible man and a decent, not great, president. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Its too early to judge George Bush's Presidency...remember Ronald Reagan was villified in his last
term only to be remembered by the left and right as one of Americas great leaders. W's forceful
reaction to 9/11, his sterwardship of the economy which was excellent for most of his tenure and his
crusade for democracy in the Middle east will figure large in his legacy.
Its important to remember that if Gore had been President during 9/11, Bin Laden and the Taliban
would still be in Afghanistan laughing at the latest indictment by the Justice department, and
preparing for the next attack, Hussain would still in Iraq, laughing at the UN, slaughtering Shia
and Kurds, and paying suicide bombers in Tel Aviv, while restarting his weapons program.
W is villified because he took risks to forward an important security and freedom agenda, not all
has gone well, but since its been over 2,000 days since 9/11 and no new attacks, it hasnt been all
bad either... |

History is a funny thing. There are many parallels between Bush and Truman. They both left (or
will leave) with a similar public opinion rating, both left at a time when the country was at a
dangerous warish time, and yet history looks back now very favorably towards Truman.
It will take time to see what fruit will come from the seeds planted. However at this time it is
just a lot easier to hate and blame. |

We live in time and age where reality and fiction are blurred. We live in the greatest age of
information the universe has known. An age where an incident on one side of the globe can be
instantaneously known to everyone on the other side of the globe. Yet this seemingly wonderful
proliferation of instantaneous awareness has become a stunningly absurd tool of misinterpretation
and propaganda.
The case of Bush bashing exemplifies this assertion more than anything else.
With allegations ranging from everything involving oil to plotting 9/11, the radical American
leftists do all that is in their power to discredit President Bush with a blind eye to facts and
deep rooted desire to rewrite history and create innuendo based propaganda that borders on
insanity.
People try to use baseless arguments such as " He has practically set the Islamic World against the
West". They cast such aspersions in the face of facts which prove otherwise. They make such
charges despite the fact that several so-called Islamic nations are and remain to be allies. They
throw such a charge about as if the jihad that Middle East extremists declared on the United States
occurred because of George Bush. The fact is that the Islamic extremists have hated the U.S. Long
before George W. Bush ever entered the political stage. Yet the liberal American extremists ignore
this fact and claim that Middle East, religious, fundamentalists became enemies of America because
of George W. Bush.
To further discredit the President, the brainwashed, left turns to Michael Moore to prove their
case. They seek affirmation from not any factual evidence but rather from opinionated recreations
of history conjured up in the mind of a Hollywood elitist whose only claim to fame his own biased
opinion.
They use Moore to try to say that Operation Iraqi Freedom was simply an event to put oil money in
the pockets of the Bush and Cheney families. Such claims are made despite the fact that there is
not a dime of increased revenue into other's pockets from oil operations in Iraq or anywhere else
for that matter. The word "divestment" actually disproves such a charge but evidence and facts
matter not to the left wing, propagandists hellbent on advancing their dreams more than dealing with
reality.
Americas radical left tries to tout that we went to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction
that did not exist.
This charge is leveled despite all the pre-war evidence that made everyone from the Clintons to Al
Gore and John Kerry to offer support for removing Saddam Hussein from power and eliminating the
pending threat from his wmd programs. It also ignores the post war evidence that was discovered and
showed that they were there. Such evidence was found in the spring of 2006 when over 500 missile
casings were found in Iraq. These missiles were constructed for the purposes of carrying gasses yet
these facts are ignored by the extremists in America's left field.
They also ignore the satellite pictures showing massive deployments of supplies from Iraq and into
Syria during the days prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Despite any and all evidence to the contrary America's liberal jihadists hang George W. Bush with
the same disdain that the Iraqi government hung Saddam Hussein with.
With a reckless disregard for facts and a well intended hankering for distortions the left labels
all thing Bush anti-peace, anti-American and anti-people.
They claim that his tax plans and economic proposals which restored our economy and built it up were
aimed at only the rich oil barons. They claim that our fighting the terrorists on their own soil
has made us more vulnerable and puts us in danger. This they say as if fighting them in the skies
over D.C. Or in the streets of New York is a better strategy.
The bottom line is this, partisan, leftwing hacks who idolize the Michael Moore's of the world have
become so blind with hate that they themselves cannot discern between fact and fiction. There is so
much information out there that non of it is sifted through in it's entirety. If the factual
information out there was looked at in completion than rational, sincincere, unbiased people could
understand the distinctions between the reality of what George Bush has done for America and what
the American radicals are trying to do to America.
Our economy remains vigorous, unemployment remains at levels that were once considered nonexistent
and our war on terror continues to thwart the hidden cowards that threaten our land.
We remain prosperous and secure while the left screams in the wind. We have a President that makes
decisions based upon what is best for the nation not what is best for his public opinion rating. We
have a President who has advanced the cause of freedom more than anyone since Ronald Reagan and we
have a President that has advanced the quality of life of all Americans. If this is an example of
one who has done more harm than good than by these standards Jimmy Carter was a brilliant military
strategist and economic genius. |

George W. Bush may not seem to be the wisest person in the world, but what he lacks in the way
intelligence is commonly expressed (good manners, common sense, and linguistic abilities) he easily
makes up in charisma and passion, both for his country and for his people.
His contributions to this country, that is his passion, are beyond compare. Consider all the
things he has accomplished and all of them I consider of upmost importance as a strong believer in
Jesus Christ and as a guy who believes in personal accomplishments rather than the government giving
everything to all people, socialized.
+Budget, Taxes, and Economy
-Signed two income tax cuts, one of which was the largest dollar-value tax cut in world history.
-Supports permanent elimination of the death tax.
-Turned around an inherited economy that was in recession, and deeply shocked as a result of the
9/11 attacks.
-Is seeking legislation to amend the Constitution to give the president line-item veto authority.
-In process of permanently eliminating IRS marriage penalty.
-Increased small business incentives to expand and to hire new people.
-Initiated discussion on privatizing Social Security and individual investment accounts.
-Killed Clinton's "ergonomic" rules that OSHA was about to implement; rules would have shut down
every home business in America.
-Passed tough new laws to hold corporate criminals to account as a result of corporate scandals.
-Reduced taxes on dividends and capital gains.
-Signed trade promotion authority.
-Reduced and is working to ultimately eliminate the estate tax for family farms and ranches.
-Fight Europe's ban on importing biotech crops from the United States.
-Exempt food from unilateral trade sanctions and embargoes.
-Provided $20 million to states to help people with disabilities work from home.
-Created a fund to encourage technologies that help the disabled.
-Increased the annual contribution limit on Education IRA's from $500 to $2,000 per child.
-Make permanent the $5,000 adoption tax credit and provide $1 billion over five years to increase
the credit to $10,000.
-Grant a complete tax exemption for prepaid or college tuition savings plans.
-Reduced H1B visas from a high of 195,000 per year to 66,000 per year.
+Traditional Values, Compassion & Volunteerism
-Endorses and promotes "The Responsibility Era." President Bush often speaks of the necessity of
personal responsibility and civic volunteerism. He said, "In a compassionate society, people respect
one another and take responsibility for the decisions they make in life. My hope is to change the
culture from one that has said, if it feels good, do it; if you've got a problem, blame somebody
else.
-Started the USA Freedom Corps, the most comprehensive clearinghouse of volunteer opportunities ever
offered. For the first time in history, Americans can enter geographic information about where they
want to get involved, such as state or zip code, as well as areas of interest ranging from education
to the environment, and they can access volunteer opportunities offered by more than 50,000
organizations across the country and around the world.
-Established the The White House Office and the Centers for the Faith-Based and Community Initiative
— located in seven Federal agencies. The faith-based initiative supports the essential work of
these important organizations. The goal is to make sure that grassroots leaders can compete on an
equal footing for federal dollars, receive greater private support, and face fewer bureaucratic
barriers. Work focuses on at-risk youth, ex-offenders, the homeless and hungry, substance abusers,
those with HIV/AIDS, and welfare-to-work families.
-The White House released a guidebook fully describing the Administration's belief that faith-based
groups have a Constitutionally-protected right to maintain their religious identity through hiring
— even when Federal funds are involved.
-Issued an EO implementing the Supreme Court's Olmstead ruling, which requires moving disabled
people from institutions to community-based facilities when possible.
-Increased funding for low-interest loan programs to help people with disabilities purchase devices
to assist them.
-Revised the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 8 rent subsidies to disabled
people, permitting them to use up to a year's worth of vouchers to finance down payments on homes.
HUD has started pilot programs in 11 states.
Committed US funds to purchase medicine for millions of men, women and children now suffering with
AIDS in Africa.
-Heeding the words of our own Declaration of Independence, the president laid out the non-negotiable
demands of human dignity for all people everywhere. On January 29, 2002, he said, "No nation owns
these aspirations, and no nation is exempt from them. We have no intention of imposing our culture.
But America will always stand firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity." As stated by
the President, they are a virtual manifesto of conservative principles:
---Equal Justice
---Freedom of Speech
---Limited Government Power
---Private Property Rights
---Religious Tolerance
---Respect for Women
---Rule of Law
George W. Bush is perhaps not the best president this nation has ever had, but is by no means
even close to deserving the claim that he has done more harm than good. As citizens of the United
States, it is our duty to support our president in every decision he makes, else we should leave. I
support and submit to my presdident and I will do the same to any individual elected in the future,
regardless of disagreements I may have in my mind. |
