(No offense, Bush supporters).
I asked this question over at the link to gauge how many of his own party still support him and last I checked, "No" was beating out "yes."
The man is evil, idiotic, uncharismatic and a war waging ball of hatred.
That sums him up for me
How many people realize that the people behind Bush also had their hand in the last Swedish election? It's documented, and scares the crap out of me.
2. Again, UNPROVEN evidence that he is illiterate
3. He can't talk properly
4. He thinks God talks to him (see number 1)
5. He started the Iraq war
6. He is kind of goofy and stupid and immature which would be funny if he wasn't supposed to be THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD. And he just stands there smiling like a child watching the teletubbies while he talks about doing "whatever it takes to defend America". i.e. attack any country that stands in its way towards world domination.
Hate him all you want, but nobody said being the president was an easy job. I wouldn't want his job.
And don't fault George Bush, I know of a few others who would've done even worse than Bush. Sure I frown on some things Bush has decided on, but not all. Bush was no more qualified for the job than Bill Clinton. Hate him all you want but Bush has kept us a free people, whether you see it or not.
Terrorists have been around for more decades than any of us have known. They existed LONG before 9/11, long before the selfish generation we belong to, long before the Gulf War, long before Vietnam, long before WWI AND WWII! Take a good look at history.
Bush is not to blame. Most of Congress is. Many selfish people in America are to blame for more reasons than I can list; because they just don't like war. Wake up, war may be wrong, but it's sometimes necessary if you want to keep being a free people. WAR gave us freedom. It's not free.
This is not about oil, this is not about conspiracies, it's about our life & our freedom. 'Nuff said.
I know terrorism is far from a new idea. I never said that Bush INVENTED terrorism, I'm saying he is ENCOURAGING it, not fighting it, by inciting more anger with the American people internationally. I have SEEN and HEARD international opinion first hand on George Bush, and when I worked for the embassy assisted in Condoleeza Rice's visit to Cairo two years ago.
And you haven't yet explained how Iraq has to do with terrorism, or addressed the Al Quaeda cells in Saudi Arabia. How come we're not going after those?
In a way, I agree that Bush isn't to blame. He's a puppet, and he's not smart enough.
The war in Iraq has little to do with our freedom. 2,973 Americans died on September 11th and over 3,000 have died in Iraq, and that's not even including Iraqi civilians caught in the crossfire.
I've spoken to soldiers who have BEEN to Iraq, who have FOUGHT in the army, and even they quietly oppose the war. Even they don't feel like they're fighting for freedom.
I personally never said it was about oil. I admitted I don't know what it is about. I just know it's not about fighting for our freedom. Because what's going on over there is just inciting more anger in the Iraqi people, and more antipathy in the Middle East in general, who is already unhappy with us.
Bush's foreign policy is crap, and believe me I know about foreign policy. I encourage you to travel to a middle eastern country. Speak with some knowlegeble Arabs. I spoke with an Egyptian cab driver who knew more about American presidents than some people I know.
Clinton had his faults, but he did facilitate peace talks between Arafat and Rabin/Sharon. Instead of causing more antipathy in the Middle East (and the global community as a whole), he is actually rather well-liked by the Middle Eastern community. They see him as better than Bush, as do I. In my opinion, nearly anyone is better than Bush.
Yeah. America is free alright. So free that you cannot say anything against the current administration without fear of government harassment... so much for the 1st amendment.
Bush has taken away more freedoms than the last 10 presidents combined.
Still, for the record, my state (WA) came out blue in both elections.
i'm not usually one for buying into to conspiracy theories, but i honestly don't believe that Bush actually won the first election. i don't have time to put a lot of research into that at the moment, but i might come back and add to this after my exams are over.
one of my favourite songs this summer was Pink's "Dear Mr. President". i would never have come across it if it hadn't been played on the L Word, but i'm glad i did. i definitely recommend listening to it, even just for the lyrics.
i can't name one good thing he's done, i'll be glad to see the back of him, even if hilary clinton becomes persident.
in fact, i think he was a comedian in another planet and it's all part of a reality t.v. show being broadcast live in mars. i said that when i read a bushisms poster that included "i know how hard it is to put food on your family"
i think that george bush has destroyed the republican's good reputation, i am british so neither republican or democrat but when i hear of the democrat party i think of war, because the democrats have been forced to agree with some of bush's worst decisions.
I also love the song 'Dear Mr. President', it's a very good song.
I like him. Most people who don't, it's just because he's a Christian, is against abortion, things like that. This is Christian-based country. So what if he 'thinks' God has talked to him? That's happened to many people, if you don't believe that, it's still no reason to hate on someone.
I do agree that this is no free country. Two years ago they were discussing immigration and I cried my butt off when they just left it as is because I love this country and I want to keep on living here, but I also want to travel the world and go to my grandparents' 50th anniversary next year. But the president doesn't make every choice. A good comparison would be school. The staff has meetings and most choices are not what the principal wants, but what the strict teachers want.
And I don't think we have any right to be there in the first place. Bush is, quite unfortunately, the president of the U.S.A.. Even if his intentions were good, Iraq is just a bit out of his jurisdiction, don't you think?
He's making our country down right unlikeable. To its citizens and to other countries. The U.S.A. used to be a model nation, a free nation. Now we look like moron four-year-olds to the rest of the world and we can just barely call ourselves free, if we can at all.
Plus he's as dumb as a rock. He barely has a grasp on the English language, his native tongue! What a moron. Seriously, America could do so much better than this. I was soo disappointed in '04 when he was re-elected.
Although, let's be honest, he did provide a great many truly hilarious jokes (oh Jon Stewart!). ;D But seriously, W. was one of the absolute worst presidents in US history, and one of the biggest threats facing the world today...well, until January 20th, 2009, that is.
As a person though he seems like a cool guy.
I honestly do not believe Bush is evil. He truly believes, wrong as that belief may be, that he is doing the right thing. Nor is he an idiot. He may not be a genius, but he did manage to graduate college. So how does he let these things happen? He was raised, educated, and told how to think by hyperconservative fanatics. Put shortly, he's brainwashed. Dick Cheney on the other hand...
There I was being NICE. 0_0
But I don't know enough about him to make a definite decision.
I mean, he's probably a perfectly nice person and had good intentions...
But...
He wasn't so bright. Yeah, he may have gone to Yale. But Book Smart is only ONE kind of smart, and you need more than that to be a good president...
However, I do think that he is an intelligent man and I respect his political differences. The media makes him out to be such an airhead...but he really is not. He just has different view points.
There's also Guantanamo Bay, his stupid declaration of the "Axis of Evil", all his other far right-wing policies.
