yeah, im just wondering how george bush got a higher rating than barack obama

Bush/Cheney hands down the worst 8 years. Together they created havoc tht will take decades to repair if it even can be.

George Walker Bush: How coud you, "I' thought you were my, Bill Clinton homme, two give knowledge, information and neverget aney thingfor, my homeme NASA input, when each ove ous pass uway in death God, charges ous nothing for dying, only tow do better than Adam and Even, maby George walker Bush you will return two your office as president and pull that Grant check and send it two me, the day, Speckkeydowdow NASA payloade in space in that space shuttle with, A, very small red cross on that space shuttle two, knwo that it has happne will revealsomthing baout up their, A, cross is the way tow go, put one on, top ove Barack Bams office building and make suer its red very smaill

Please don't pass this health care bill, it is a terrible bill we the people don't want it!

There are many of us in Southern Illinois that love George W. Bush, to bad he's not our President now...I cannot believe the votes that were bought to pass this Health Care Reform....and I hate when people say Obama is from Illinois..You are from Illinois when you are born here, raised here, and stayed here..he wasn't, and didn't, he came here around 1990...according to Wikipedia..AND..closing Gitmo..and moving those terrorists into the middle of this country has alot of us very concerned..this Health Package sounds to us like the elderly are not going to get the proper medical care..People that don't have insurance..guess what they can fine them all they want..if they can't afford to buy it..they won't be able to pay a fine..what is wrong with those people in Washington..have they got so power hungry they have forgot who put them there??and..it is to my understanding..this Health Care Reform does not affect them..they have there own private plan..Gee I wonder what that is??? My final words are, "I bet Old Ted Kennedy laughed all the way to HELL.."

Hey, how about a little refresher on who will go down as the worst President ever,
Just when you think nothing can beat Bush,..along comes Obama,
brings to mind this little poem,
The mirror cracked from side to side,
the curse has come upon me,.. cried,
the people of US
Was that Shakespeare, ? anyway, Obama is the curse, in case you have not figured it out yet,.,.
In the last 6 month I have come across 1 person who agrees with Obama politics!
In fact most people hate Obama intensly...
He is at 43% approval now, give him another year, and he will be lower than when Bush left,..seing as Obama is slipping 3 points per month
And I am not a Bush supporter at all

As I remember, t the years of 2000 to 2007 showed the highest GNP, lowest interest rates, lowest unemployment, highest base saleries, a total of less than 3000 US military casualties in 6 years of war in Iraq, no successful attacks on US soil after 911, George W. Bush, VP Cheney, and the head of the FED asked CONGRESS on 5 seperate occassions to bring the housing loan programs under check before it was too late,but Congress ignored them.....etc, but then: AMERICA WANTED CHANGE ! In 2006 America voted in a DEMOCRATIC majority congress... from that point on, check your calanders....everything took a turn for the WORSE ! This appers to me to be a CHANGE from the best economic times in America....to the WORST I
We can all continue to blame Bush, as the pathetic news media taught us to, or we can once again, use our own brains and realize that what we have now is the most dangerous threat to our freedoms and our way of life ever. Step by step these pathetic nonrepresentative politicians lead us towards a socialist state that THEY run, not the citizens. Are there really people out there who believe the BS the so called news media feeds us....just what the politicians tell them to feed us?
George W. Bush was President of the United States durring the BEST of times in our great Nation, durring the worst attack ever on our nation, against muslim terrorists world wide, against the pathetic, relentless liberal news media, against a Congess that listens to no one...we had a very good, competent leader, now we have CHANGE.....CHANGE WE CAN'T AFFORD, CHANGE WE COULD DO WITHOUT, UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T TURN BACK THE CLOCK, so let's hope we can all admit our mistakes, and work together to make a change once again, but this time a change for the better...socialism DOES NOT WORK, Capitalism does, the United States of America, unlike the rest of the world, does work.....we need to change congress, then the administration, then the pathetic belief

George Bush was one of our Greatest Presidents ever, he kept us all safe ! unlike the one we have now who is only interested in kissing up to all of the word's worst people, and filling our country with Illegals.

Bush, you may have doomed us all

In life, many people try to emulate their fathers, they are mentors. I followed in the trade that my father chose, wanting to be like him. In my case, both of us were good at it, and made a descent living.
In BOTH of the Bush`s cases, they were out of their "comfort/brainpower" zone. I have to say, especially with this last numbnut.
He is not very intelligent.
Even that fat guy on the radio must admit it. ( then again, he`s not the sharpest tool either)
The truth,
Mick

wow, such heated comments

stop blaming bush and start blaming yourselves

Why is everyone so quick as to blame Bush for today’s problems? What we are going through is because of people’s bad choices. We reap what we sow. Immorality brings destruction and sickness. A person accepting a bad loans just to buy a home is not Bush’s fault. I do not believe the “I did not know what I was getting into” replay. How ignorant can one be? Welfare is out of control. This is running the state budget dry. Unwed mother should go after the child’s father not the state. President Bush does not make all the decisions for us, so why blame him for everything. The government still gives millions of grants to organizations which people never hear about, and it's happening now during this crisis. There will always be wars and I haven’t heard of a war where innocent people did not die. The fact that he sent our troops to fight in Iraq, I believe is to keep the terrorist there and to help liberate the people. The people there were already killing each other. It is easy to blame someone else for the mess that we all have created. Come on America stand up to your mistakes and stop blaming Bush. But as long as man is greedy, jealous, hatful, and lover of himself, we will never see a better tomorrow. No president can solve our problems, but GOD can.
mrge in California

Mr. Bush: Thank God you are gone and you Will go down as one of the worst presidents America will ever know. God can only help you for the war crimes you and your VP. pupet have made.

You sick FU%%%. I am so tired of hearing you talk about our president,George Bush. This man did exactly what he should have done in 911.Do any of you jerks think that he could just ignor are safety.What happened in george Bushes term is the result of Bill Clintton.Because of the way that you talk about him,I wish now that he would have just sat back and let us be destroyed.Maybe then some of you idiots FU%%% out there would appreciate life today.Mr. Bush has done a lot for our country and if you don`t see how or what then your just as stupid as the jungle bunnies that voted for Obamma. You must think that a president can do what ever he wants to.If you believe this ,you still believe in the easter bunny.I hope all you Bush haters starve to death,and you lose every thing you own ,when your precious con man becomes president. If your democratic leaders thought anything of your welfare they would have stop all this so called bad sh%% that Bush was supposed to have done when they took over the congress 2 years ago.Instead they did every thing to hurt you so that you would be sure to vote for a democrat and you fell for it. Now you will suffer,and so will I for what you sick FU&&& have done.I hope I get the chance to meet some of you Bush haters so that I can spit in your faces.

George Bush is without a doubt the biggest criminal to ever hold any political office in this country and that's saying something. His administration has never missed a chance to steal or finagle at any opportunity. My only hope is that at some point in time he and Cheney will be tried for war crimes. But I'm not very optimistic. Judging with what Obama has done so far it's obvious white people do not have exclusive domain over corupt political practices.

his end of term rule changes are putting the nail in our collective coffins

i pray we can recover from 8 years of environmental neglect

I didnt think i would make it through his term, lol

what interresting comments

It's common knowledge that the fault for the mortgage and financial crisis / meltdown lies with Democrats going back to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The current scoundrels in congress vehemently opposed any attempts to slowdown or reform what fannie mae and freddie mac were doing....
Read up: Carter, CLinton and Democrats ruin country...warnings from President Bush and John McCain went unheeded!

I hope the world and the country will survive from all the damage this guy and his administration has caused

Wow talking about buying lies hook line and sinker.
Take a long look around you.
George Bush jr has been two things; one the worst speaker this country has ever had and two the most powerful president. He used and misused his executive powers to force his policies on others.
WMD was a lie he sold to congress.
with the current economy the way it is do you think he or Dick are hurting for money? or Papa Bush who was the chief adviser for several military contractors. Yes there still is money in war for some along with the death of our children and the countless deaths of others.
The Taliban as bad as they are wiped out the opium production the Northern Alliance we used to call drug lords now we support them and Heroin is at an all time high in this country with near 90% of it coming from Afghanistan. Hmm are we really safer or just under the influence.
I'm not glad to see that blind patriotism is still alive in this country.

Dear 'Anon',

You have come up with the best idea, of all times I will vote for you anytime. After seeing my 401k dwindle and which will take 3 more years to make up for the losses, I am numb with frustrations at this economic decline. And I do still have a job, what about all those folks who are now unemployed! Add to your list all of the student loans and parent plus loans needs to be absorbed by the Federal govt. if they can give all of these huge bailouts, what about all of the poor ( & I literally mean poor)students and parents who are struggling to make their payments just to get a decent education so that they can get a job to pay into the tax revenues! The politicians and this government has definitely ruined this great country. We the taxpayers are just held hostages to the greedy politicians who live high on the hog!

My sentiments exactly John, you couldnt have said it better. Blame the Republicans and all those darn Evangelicals & Independents who voted for him!
They all need to take the blame for the mess, as well as all those greedy executive bankers, CEOs, financial investors, the greedy home appraisers and vulture realtors, they should all be held accountable and made to pay back all the millions of bonuses they have received.

President Bush was elected initially through a "fixed" election. Despite the country knowing of his moral deficiency, he was elected for a second term, and took the country into a war based on egoistic goals and known false intelligence. The American people must share the consequences of electing this administration that has destroyed (for the time being) global respect for the US and contributed to the fanatism of avowed enemies. In focusing on his personal goals for personal historical agrandizement, Mr Bush allowed the criminal free rein of financial despots that has now, brought his own and the global economy to its knees. The US would do well to adopt an administration that allows other nations to tend to their own affairs, as it attends to the needs of its own citizens. Mr President I am sure you are guaranteed a place in history,

Somebody tell Andrew Yu-Jen Wang that over half of the electoral college and the American people disagreed with him in 2000 and 2004. He's trying to keep George Bush from getting re-elected I guess!!!!!!!

OOPS,,, i hit enter or submit by mistake... that's OK...

Like him or not, he has been, overall a great leader, under unbelievable, unpatriotic attack from the liberal press, who have done a disservice to our country.

A critique of the comments of Stacy B, July 27:

Stacy B, "Our country is in the trouble it is in today" because of the one-sided liberal media and pinheads that believe their hype. I'm as well or better informed than any poster here. I complained about a “few hundred towel heads” who can’t decide on worship. I did not "degrade an entire culture". While the term "towel-head" may be considered derogatory, my criticism was and is directed at the few 10th century nitwits who want to have us all bowing to Mecca upon threat of decapitatiion. These individuals, a small percentage of the Islamic community, deserve being disparaged and defeated. Before 9-11 no one realized how large an organization they had. I said "had" because thanks, primarily to George Bush, our government, and governments worldwide have put a crimp in their operations. Now we'll take care of the enclaves on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan and hopefully, be done with the bulk of the "War on Terror". There is a war on terror. THERE IS NO WAR IN OR WITH IRAQ!!! They are our ally! Afghanistan and Pakistan are our allies, but need to become better allies. There was a war in Iraq, but that ended when the President said "Mission accomplished." After that, our soldiers were involved in "mopping up operations", also known as anti-insurgency battles. These are skirmishes, bombings by a "few hundred towel-heads who can't decide which form of Islam to force upon the world". I'm referring, of course, to the Shiite Sunni conflict, which is a centuries old religious feud. We should stay as far away from that as possible. Thankfully, most Moslems don't fight each other or kill over which brand of Islam they want to practice, but the cowards who killed innocent women and children at the World Trade Center and in Pennsylvania are irrational fanatics. The only way you could say that there was still a war in Iraq is in the sense that the Leader of Al Quaeda said that Iraq is the frontline of their battle with the "Great Satan".
Our soldiers have died to support our freedom and to help bring freedom to other nations. This in turn should benefit us by creating more free, live and let live societies in the midst of radical Islamist hellholes. We will siphon off their poor disfunctional young recruits into the normal desire for a happy and prosperous life which they may have if they apply themselves.
The economy will likely now go into a recession thanks to Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and cowardly Republicans who wouldn't join John McCain in 2005 and George Bush when they tried to rein in the abusive lending practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! This was entirely avoidable and now we've got a socialist, tax hiking, ignoramus who thinks he can sit down with worldwide terrorists without pre-conditions who may "profit" by this democrat caused economic downturn! The economy has been excellent for the bulk of George Bush's administration despite the best lying efforts of Democrat punks and their bootlicking media friends.
There have always been homeless people and there always will be homeless people and poor people. Get used to it. This is the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. We have the right to Life (not to be aborted by our moms), Liberty (not to have our voices censored on radio or our guns removed from our homes) and the Pursuit of Happiness. The homeless have the right to pursue happiness, to get a job, to find a way to clean up their lives. You'll find many of them want to live the way they do , or at least, are unwiliing to make the necessary changes to improve their lives. The government is not responsible to provide for its citizens; this is not a socialist nation in case you didn't know.
Stacy B said: Also Global warming is a myth? Have you lost your ming? Do some research before you write please.
ME: Sure, here are 31,000 scientists who will tell you that manmade global warming is a myth: PETITION PROJECT

George W. Bush’s sentence-by-sentence speaking skills are deteriorating. Apparently, this may be due to a mental illness called “presenile dementia.” Bush may or may not be secretly still drinking heavily. Bush lied, and thousands of people died. Bush suffers from narcissism and megalomania. Moreover, Bush has been arrested three times. Bush was arrested for disorderly conduct. Bush was arrested for stealing. Bush was also arrested for a serious crime—driving under the influence of alcohol. There are reasons to believe that Bush suffers from a learning disability. Bush’s learning disability would explain a lot of things. All in all, Bush is a severely mentally ill individual. Bush is not fit to be the president of the United States.

B.S., Summa Cum Laude, 1996

I'm against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in
a 'We Deserve It Dividend'.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals
$425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,0 00 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It
Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000, 000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500. 00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed
Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( 'vote buy' ) economic incentive that is
being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult
U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can 'never work.'

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in
Washington DC.

And remember, The Family plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,
A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic.

This dummy went on tv and tried to sell us on his economic plan... YOU DUMM You are teh reason we are in this mess in teh first place! Just sit silently for the next 40 days and leave us in peace!

The Big Dopey Son who took the Ferrari out - and then wrapped it around the

To The President



Do you mean democracy and civilization to hit poor countries through your army and destroy them or the word democracy and civilization is the meaning of killing innocent citizen of innocent countries or the meaning of democracy in your eyes is to damage other countries by sending your troops from one part of the world to other part of the world or you mean the democracy is to wear no clothes have no food, no money and no shelter to live Mr. President.



If you think you are living in a democrat and civilized world which you are trying to create from past 30 years of time, i will say you are one of the stupid person in this entire society of this world. America do makes friends but for very short time, they do make allies but for there own sake and there benefits.



Looking to your white skin collar that your heart is blacker than any other black person. What America did up till now in this entire world history knows very well fro your own sake and the citizen of America President like you who ruled Americans one after the other have destroyed a small sub-continental countries. Today you feel you have win and achieved your goal by making our greater country India slave once again, which my country diplomats as well as the political leaders couldn’t understand you, but more or less i do understand your entire planning’s.



I say that by signing this nuclear deal you will be not allowed to use our sea ports and air ports to hit china or other country of the world. Mr President when you laugh your evil deed shines from your face, I also wish to inform you that in this entire world the Barr crates are working with the entire machinery of the country therefore calling your self civilized and democrat is rubbish. You stink like a pig therefore you cannot be a civilized or democrat person. Civilizes human being do take care of every human being of the world. Civilized and democrat human being will not order there forces to kill baby born children of other countries and to make blood shade in the other countries of the world.



You should feel shame for the deeds you have done in the past and today and I hope that the coming president of the country will learn from your blender your mistakes and will not order the forces of your country to destroy any other small country of the world and must not act in the devil way as you have acted till date. The oil prices where shooted up on your inspections, the gold prices have gone up on your inspection to make fortune money which you have lost in a stupid way by fighting in other countries.



I suggest you to pray to god for the forgiveness for the bad deeds which you have done in your presidency time. If you are really a human being and so called civilized and democrat then before leaving the president house you must say sorry to the entire world for your bad deeds and you must also accept that you have taken your fathers revenge by destroying Iraq. Think for better life and think for better future don’t plan any more to destroy any other country.



Hope you will think with your cool mind and feel sorry for your bad deeds. Thanks for going through this mail, yours most Sincerely TG.

I SEE THAT YO ARE SMOKING CRACK TOO!!! I WOULD HAVE NEVER PUT THE COMMENTS OUT THAT YOU MADE. WE ARE NOT IN A RECESSION. YOU ALSO MUST BE ANTI-AMERICAN AND RELATED TO BUSH.

Oh, Please do not foreget that this. IT IS GOD WHO PROTECTS, NOT MAN.

Saneman!!! you should be adding 'in' to your blog name in front of it .......bwah..hahaha!!
I guess this economy really hasn't affected you a bit & the Bush administration have nothing to do with it? who is allowing jobs to leave the US & leaving thousands of of americans without jobs and the list could go on & on.............and 'a few towelheads' you say, what a disgusting way to describe our brave soldiers, not to mention the ones who have died and the others who are crippled & mamed?..........you sound like a nut case who lives in another world!

Bush is an an amazing man. No single president has ever done so much damage to a nation in such a short time as his last 8 years. The assault on the constitution has been unprecedented and I believe that war crimes will be brought against this Terrorist In Chief after he is out of office.

You can run and you can hide Bush, but you are a war criminal nonetheless. Please go live in your 98000 acre ranch in Paraguay so we never have to look at your disgusting mug again. May God have mercy on you for what you have done to the world and to the USA.

Bush at the Olympics says he is taking a hard line with China... Why don't you take a hard line with yourself and bring our troops home!

Wow saneman is a true testament as to why our country is in the trouble it is in today. He has truly buried his head in the sand. First of all the "few hundred towel heads" who can't decide on worship? That ignorance is why thousands of our young men and women have come home in body bags, because their is no war? First of all you are degrading an entire culture and secondly by stating their is no war what have our soldiers who have died given up their life for?
As for the economy doing great as a result of the stimulus plan, are you for real? Go to any homeless shelter and see just how many families are there.
Also Global warming is a myth? Have you lost your ming? Do some research before you write please. You say that the NY TImes has posted propaganda, but you in your blind support for Bush have began believing your own type of propaganda. You are truly delusional.

Sorry, one more peeve to ponder.... there is no warrantless wiretapping of American civilians. Its calls coming in from overseas terrorist connections that are being tapped. This would have been a successful operation to continue protecting our lives, but a certain un-American newspaper, the New York Times, as I recall, chose to blow the cover on it. They ignored requests to keep this quiet for the good of the country, and place their own arrogance above the judgment of those better informed, just to stir up the liberal neurotics with something to hide in their phone conversations, and to caricature the administration as snoops into private lives, instead of patriots protecting lives which is what they were and are . No doubt, the program is of limited use now, since the traitors have made it front page news. Yet the evidence that the surveillance program is perfectly innocent is that it passed through congress this past week with a wide margin!! Go Bush! 4 more years! C'mon, Jeb!

The ignorance of the average comments and criticism of President Bush is staggering!! There is no war in Iraq! There's a few hundred towel-heads that can't decide which version of their religion is better, that don't trust the other flavor to be in charge. There are political skirmishes. Al-Qaeda in Iraq is defeated thanks to the efforts of the American, British and Aussies primarily. Al-Qaeda themselves said that Iraq was their primary operation. Now, it looks like things are shifting to Afghanistan again, so we'll go pound them over there. The region as a whole is no doubt a nightmare of conflicts, feuds and backwards thinking. However, if Iraq and perhaps Afghanistan can become lighthouses of freedom and economic opportunity to the average Muslim in the Middle East then there will be fewer of them joining up to defeat the "evil" United States by murdering innocent civilians!! This is a worthy goal, and brilliant strategy that Bush's administration will be credited with despite the mainstream media onslaught against this dedicated public servant. I'm proud of President Bush. I only wish he would stand up more for himself and let people realize the specific threats that our nation has avoided. The ones that are known to the general public are proof enough that his leadership has been astoundingly successful.
Our economy has been very good until recently. Most credit the Bush tax reductions for the middle and upper class as having fueled our economy. Its amazing that it rebounded after 9/11, which injured us in many sectors, especially air travel and related businesses, such as tourism. But, its been eight years of growth, not enough now, but no recession. The housing market is not controlled by the white house! The lending practices of certain mortgagees need to be policed and corrected. The housing market is flooded with new homes, more than there is need for... naturally, if there's too much supply, demand and values plummet. Welcome to free market capitalism.
I hope you know that Valerie Plame was not a secret ops or undercover agent. She had a desk job, and her husband let people know who he was married to. Her name was revealed to the press by someone outside of the administration and the idiot prosecutor in charge knew this when he started his farse of a prosecution against innocent people, who no doubt did have a grudge against Wilson. Can't blame them for that.... he's little more than a traitor and there is no way that he could visit South Africa, I believe it was, and determine that there was no yellow cake uranium being sold there....I don't think they put it out on the farmer's market for him to inspect!.. That sort of thing is illegal, black market operations. He had no basis for his conclusions, while our allies in England stood by their intel on this. There was an effort by the Bush White House to emphasize the nuclear threat of Saddam. It was Saddam himself who was falsifying the info, as I recall. He was trying to get the Iranians to think he had more than he actually did, which ended up with every major security report, every leading government of the world, and the majority of all members of Congress including Hillary and John Kerry calling for Saddam Hussein to be disarmed and brought under control. We should have done it in the first Gulf War, but oh well. At least he's gone and 5 or 6 million people can now lead happier productive lives thanks primarily to George W. Bush.
Don't get me started on the idiots in New Orleans that don't have more sense than to live under sea level, be warned for 5 or 6 days non-stop to get out of the way of a powerful hurricane, and then stay there.... why should any one feel sorry for them or their town. That is a local problem and I resent one dollar of the federal budget, our tax dollars going to rebuild that town, notorious for drunkeness and whore houses. If they had any competence in the mayor's office or their governor's house it would have been handled far better. Yes, the person appointed the head of FEMA probably was unqualified for the job. (Any time you have a huge bureaucracy trying to get something done, its not likely to be done well: that includes the future of medical care in the U.S. if national health care gets approved, a disaster waiting to happen!) The gulf coast of Mississippi was hit almost as hard as New Orleans. They have never whined and complained, and they had competent leadership in their governor's office, have rebuilt successfully. George Bush is President not God, he can't stop bad things from happening to people, sorry!
President Bush's response to 9/11 was as good or better than anyone else could have done, especially the idiotic hypocrite Al Gore, who thinks global warming is real. He's such a coward he won't even debate his opponents.. yea , what a leader he would have made.
Glad and bill w made good points. THe reactions of Emma and Tyler to another blog seemed a little over the top. There are more trees in the United States now than there have ever been. Conservationism is practiced here more than most places in the world. The blogger wasn't suggesting that we do away with trees, grass or air, I assure you. It's OK.
He/she may have just been saying that a liberal in the White House may have been distracted from actual terrorist attacks on our country, S.S. Cole, the first Twin Tower bombing, the embassy bombings and more that were being masterminded by Al Qaeda. That administration, which had the opportunity to capture or kill Bin Laden on at least on three occasions didn't have the guts to do anything. He was too busy seducing or being seduced by interns and troubled widows like Kathleen Willey. It was his administration that gave the technology for the Chinese to put nukes in space. It was his administration who vetoed the last effort to begin drilling for more of our own oil, which we have PLENTY OF !! It was his administration, which inherited an economic recovery, and was benefited by a Republican takeover of the corrupt democratic controlled House, that decided to treat terrorists acts as a police matter instead of a worldwide jihad on us! Yes, 9/11 was avoidable and no, you idiots, it couldn't have been an inside job. Bin Laden himself bragged about what was happening on TV to his buds at the time it was happening. The engineering of the building collapses has already been substantiated and explained. Most of the bad things happening to us now are a result of Bill Clinton and the liberal media which slants the news and ignores our patriots who volunteer!! to serve our country in those God awful places overseas. Remember to pray for them and for your president regardless of his political affiliation. I hope this helps someone.... saneman

The poor people of Hurricane Katrina I mean could the government get anything right? It is pathetic the way they have treated the people and to now subject them to RV's filled with formaldehyde. Bush has been falling from grace for some time but this has just put the final nail in his coffin with the American people.

Not even close. There is no part of this Bush administration which will be admirable. 911 gave GW Bush strong foreign support which since his handling and invasion of Iraqi has disappeared. The economy is in a shambles, terrorism allowed to limit constitutional guarantees, advisers given unfortunate and mostly unfortunate latitude, a vice president who selected himself and the got away with huge issues, very bad (but loyal appointments of friends), stacking the supreme court (with one etc. etc. I have taught American History at major universities for 35 years. GW has gone from hopeful to maybe to poor to horrible. I am not certain he is the worst president we have ever had (Buchannan seems more likely) but GW is in the bottom 5

Regarding Katrina, the pictures of the estimated 144 flooded school buses is telling. Why were they not mobilized to evacuate citizens?

Classy bunch of posters, too few who understand how our government works.The President in only reponsible for 1/3 of our government. Why don't you speak to our Congress who have been well aware of what was going to happen with fuel prices for at least two decades? Where was Congress while adjustable rate mortgages were being doled out like candy? For that matter where has Congress been at all, with the exception of investigating baseball.
Things suck for you so it must be the President's fault? How many of you are driving hybrids or cars that get over 30 mpg? What would you have the President do about the economy? Hey folks the economy is US, if we don't spend or spend too much..hello? Consumers drive the economy not the government and there is very little the government can do about the economy.
Now the democrats want to raise taxes and have grandiose plans for yet another round of large social programs to "take care of the little people". Hey folks check your history books and see how well those have worked in the past, does the Great Society ring a bell? ABJECT FAILURE!
So as you diss the Pres. just remember that because of him you keep more of your tax dollars to spend on the things you need. And remember too that the democrats now admit to politicizing the war for their particular gain in the last election. http://www.politico.com/

In other words you were lied to and you bought it hook line and sinker and some of you are STILL buying it!

We're all hurting right now but the best action does not involve finger pointing, the best action is voting out a do nothing congress, reforming how we finance elections(does it seems somewhat insane to spend millions to ge a job that pays low 6 figures?), getting a comprehensive energy plan that increases supply and decreases demand, encourages new technologies etc.
You know if you build enough Nuke plants in this country we could provide a lot of jobs,same with windfarms and solar farms and at the same time take yet another step to energy independence. Till we win that battle the economy will stink. We're tied to oil and it is killing our country. For eight years Bush has pushed for a comprehensive energy policy, please go read what Congress has given us.

Hey Lex, you are an ignoramus!.what planet are you on? unless you are a rich spoiled brat & never had to work one hard day in your life.... you sound like the economy does not affect you one bit,. How dare you call us Anti-Americans..& whats wrong with growing grass & saving trees? have you ever planted anything in your life? doesnt look so....without trees we'd all be dead!!!! check out Arborday.org! Bush is the worst president ever! he& Cheney are two lying,greedy selfish dogs...........they have destroyed this once beautiful country.

Why wouldn't the president where a tuxedo at his daughter's wedding. This just goes to show the simplistic mind of the man that runs this country.

I blame the american people that voted for him they are the ones that screwed the rest of us over and I think they should be the ones that has to pay back for all the debts he has caused

Don't blame Bush It's the ones that voted for him that screwed the rest of us over...

This shows your ignorance Lex. We will all be dead without the trees and the grass. Even if the terrorist don't get us the environment will! It is not anti American to speak out against the president, thats why the constitution gives us freedom of speech!

You all on this site are anti American by speaking so negatively about our current president he is the representation of our great country and keeps us safe from terrorists! Bush has done a great job with national security and while it may have cost us financially at least he has kept our children safe. That is what matters most! You think the Democrats would have kept us safe! No they would have been to busy trying to grow grass or save a tree!

hey!
im in school

Bush actually had the nerve to make jokes about Hillary dodging bullets and Obama being in church? This is hysterical from a man whose entire 2 terms in office have been a joke. I hope that when his term in office comes to a close (if he has not destroyed whats left of the good old usa) he looks back on his time and realizes just how terrible he was for our country. I can just only hope that Americans do not make our situation worse (if that can be possible) by voting in another Republican!

i think kanye west was right about this guy. his response during hurricane katrina was horrible, he didnt even get out of the helicopter. HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT HIMSELF

this guy has done soo much damage, and they wanted to impeach Clinton? politicians are crazy and this guy is the ring leader

i thought that politicians and rich greedy people had done a massive amount of damage to the planet and its people before, but you have managed to make things worse

it is no wonder you are such a believer in an impending apocalypse

the effects of your actions will eventually do more damage than any anti-christ could hope to do

your whole family should be ashamed of you

look what this moron has done to our magnificent country. him and cheney are the first two horsemen of the apocolypse

Great idea President Bush, giving us poor American's a rebate to put back into the economy. Hello! This only helps the rich folks who don't have to save the money! All of us broke people who have negative bank accounts will not gain a cent from this! It will do nothing for our economy! Stop spending a billion dollars on a useless war to help the people of Iraq and help your own people! We need you!

Bush has said that he was going to take care of the veterans - yet when a veteran asks for financial assistance because of injuries sustained in the war, or of having to forever deal with PTSD or hearing loss over the years, yet they get denied. I know some of the Native American Warriors who are getting the short end of the promises. My question is did his promises only deals with other warriors than the Native Americans. I am beginning to wonder if race has anything to deal with it.

george bush is the worst president same with his dad they suck big monkey balls

What else is there to say but thank GOD his time in office is coming to an ebd!

Though Gov Bush could not give speeches very well, that doesnt mean he was a complete moron. I refer to him as Governor Bush because that was the last position he held legally. He came in to the white house with a plan and a regime of followers. They can call themselves republicans, democrats, conservatives, what have you, but in the end we will all realize the true causes 9/11, (when the World Trade Centers were under controlled demolition, to use the sight to bring fear to the nation). You may call me and all other who believe this "conspiracy theorists", but the evidence is overwhelming in that it suggests Bush has had a plan that has been put into effect. This plan has been indoctrinated to the main stream media and the American people have been eating up. His own influences include the Council on Foreign Relations (which Dick Cheney was Director of and still is a member of, which btw is a descendant of the Illumanati); and lets not forget The New American Century which is well under way and the explanation behind "The War on Terror" (which is a war that no one can claim victory, is it when all the terrorists die? or when they become passive and allow the militants of America to extract all the oil and kill off every Palestinian?) and the explanation of why we are in Iraq, why theres discussion of Iran, and so much more. What the history books should say is how Americans were distracted with entertainment and consumption, while evil tyrants did as they pleased. Everyone in the world, Americans, the tyrants, the innocent, all have under-estimated the internet and exchange of information. At this time we rely on youtube, google, and current.com along with other streaming networks for documentaries and other medias to show the people whats really going in the world. Thats all for me, I hope that my comments will be met by open-mindedness and only criticizes if it is false in any way. It should not be discredited by people who put labels of slander on any opposition of their beliefs or values. Thank you. For more on Bush's influences check out the Council on Foreign Relations website; www.cfr.org ; and www.newamericancentury.org ; or youtube any topics just to see what you might find.

Bush is an idiot! He has made our nation the laughing stock of the world! We were better off living in the time of "Reganomics" then we are now! His response to Katrina alone showed the world how little he cares for Americans. Fueled by his desire for money and oil he disgraced America by ruining a country and devastating its people. He is the reason that terrorists will never leave us alone. Thank God his time is almost up, and shame on all the idiots who voted him in office for a second term!

I am seriously frightened about the downward spiral our Great country is in right now. people have poured their blood, sweat and tears into this country to get it where it was.

Hopefully the damage that the Bush administration has done can be fixed, at home and over-seas. The amount of "collateral damage" in the form of civillian deaths in Iraq and Afganistan is horrible.

Zach, from that list it may appear that President Bush messed up several things, but been faced with several highly difficult problems in his 8 years as President. I personally think our country has not faced these types of problems since world war 2. we have a new economy, facing a new type of warfare in Iraq and domestically, in addition to having severely divided congress which can not accomplish much....

wow Zachary, did you think of that list off the top of your head? I have at least one thing to add to it; bush's delayed reaction on 9-11.

I am seriously fearful of the dirrection the country is going. on top of that, the bush administration is preventing us from cleaning up the environment by insisting further research has to be done.

Between the war in Iraq, the housing crisis, the limping economy, sky-rocketing health care costs, the CIA agent leak and the U.S. Attorney scandal no one will ever be able to say you were not buisy.

I personally can not wait to see what the history books say about your presidency.
