Not only is he an idiot, he may be the worst possible person to have been president during this particular period of U.S. history. Definitely the worst president in my lifetime.

They are licking their fingers drunk off the blood of those they've killed.



This is not a gamble. This is real.

Guys like George are why we have term limits.

And what if he declares Martial Law and himself Supreme Dictator?

Unlikely - these guys are more interested in money than radical ideology. A totalitarian state being bad for business and all that...

Beauty of the US constitution is that its pretty robust, although that doesn't mean we shouldn't be vigilant for B.S. like wiretapping without a warrant.

You mean like this .............

The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007

Well there's not really much doubt that GWB has increased the powers of the executive branch to the detriment of the other branches of government, but I'm not overly worried about him personally. He'll be out in 2008 without question. What does bother me is how his legacy will make it easier for less ethical, less scrupulous people (and GWB for all his many, serious faults is no Vladimir Putin or Hugo Chavez) to do away with the constitution (as happened to Germany in the 1930's). An erosion of our democratic processes and institutions is a disturbing thing however you look at it.

A key figure in US political philosophy is Leo Strauss, and a lot of what you see being trotted out by the likes of GWB is quite true to that philosophy (i.e. Constitution is not absolute and may be repealed or suspended if the national need is deemed great enough). I don't like that idea - hence i disagree with Strauss (and GWB et al) on a fundamental level.

Yes,he's a blundering idiot.Grandpa Bush and his cronies are the ones who really run the show.

The mere idea that someone with the verbal ineptitude of GWB can be elevated to the position of President is truly frightening. Personally, I want the person most qualified for the job, and the qualifications should include sound judgement and an ability to express oneself articulately. Unfortunately, he has fallen far short on both counts.

My girl's pet monkey could do better

Everyone just constantly misunderestimates him!

I think it's amusing that he isn't even originally from Texas!!! He's from the Northeast!!! But boy, he's milked that "good ole' boy" persona for all it's worth, hasn't he?

I don't really think he's an idiot,but I DO think that he definitley is the wrong person for being the US President.
I wish they could change the law and if so Bill Clinton could have been on for a third and fourth term.
But hey if Hillary get's elected we get a bit of Bill in there too so that will work for me.
May GW go back to Texas and stay there.

How dare you disquote George!?. He is a smart, edjamacated guy - with ferior intelligence!

He was smart enough to beat John Kerry LOL

No need for Hillary to be elected; pretty much anyone can get a bit of Bill.

This is a short poem made up entirely of actual
quotations from George W. Bush. These have been
arranged, only for aesthetic purposes, by Washington
Post writer, Richard Thompson. A wonderful Haiku poem
like this is too good not to share.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of manmen and uncertainty
And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?

How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of
opportunity.

I know that the human being
And the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
Where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
I am the Decider!

Pass this on. Help cure mad Cowboy disease in the
next election.

You mean his people were smart enough to rig the election to make it look like he beat John Kerry.

You can't think he did that for himself, the man can barely feed himself without dribbling....

Why wouldn't they rig the 2004 election? If the FL election debacle in 2000 were repeated, it would look a tad suspicious...

The bloke can't hold an honest debate without being fed the words:



His debate notes weren't any help, neither...



Bush Countdown Clock

NO/NO....It seems that a lot of people here like socialist governments. Why do they want to come here if they can not respect the President. That is what it is respect whether you like him or not. If you are already here, why don't you go where they have a socialist government and try it. The people elected him. That is the way it works in America.

They're like morning glory to me.



The US Embassy checked my love for my fiance. I don't remember them asking about my views on the President. An oversight on their part, I assume.



I'm with you I don't like punctuation either it's unnecessary I'm glad we can agree on something.



That depends on what your defintion of 'it' is. Is it legal?



Hmm, I remember 2000 differently. But, hell, I was 4,000 miles away, young, naiive, I drank more back then, some of it is just a blur - whew!

A huge amount of anti-Bush trash talking and smart-azz anti-American rhetoric from alot of people who came to the USA for their loved ones and a better way of life. Must not have been all peaches n' cream where they came from eh ??

Sofargone

'Anti-American'? How odd. Does this exclude my spouse & step-daughter, perhaps?

'Anti-Bush-Administration' does not equal 'Anti-American', my friend. I thought we had come to a place where we all knew that. My error, obviously.

I came to the USA for my loved one. Had you ended the statement there, you would be correct.

wtf is your problem? You should speak for yourself. I for once didn't come to the United States for a better way of life, in any way. I came because of my loved one. And what if people that live here and are not american just dislike Bush? So what? It's their right to have an opinion.

Yea, I agree with this. Why only one option for no. Typical liberals one sided poll.

You guys love Russia so much, why do you want to be here????

sigh

While I don't think Bush is an idiot (I said as much earlier in this thread), there's a big difference between being "anti-American" and "anti-administration." The two do not have to go hand-in-hand. They can, but they don't have to either.

For instance... I disliked President Bill Clinton. Does that mean I was "anti-American" during his years in office? No, of course not. Overall, I love the United States and I think most people here do too. They're just dissatisfied with the way President Bush and his administration has run things during his two terms.

This thread's incredibly disrespectful to all those that voted for him.

It's anti-american and should be locked down.

That's a contradiction in terms, isn't it?

As for "disrespect" I know a good few people who voted for the guy, but now think he's a nutfucker. People are allowed to change their minds you know....

No.
No.
