In his first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs;

Took the biggest world sympathy for the US after 911, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history);

====================


So, whats everyone's opinion of their president now? and Why?

 

[N[U]TS]

I think he is still doing a good job as president for forein affairs but not so great of a job for here in the U.S.

 

[eelnhoj]

Hehe kind of funny i think. I mean how could a leader of an entire country make so many mistakes. So this is what our world is coming to. One filled with terrible leaders and senseless wars.

 

[eelnhoj]

then again isnt this how its always been

 

[amrtin77]

i still think hes a good president. look at some of these idiots running against him. you said hes the first prez to run when america came under attack, but look at clinton. he ran from the draft when he was younger. he went to canada and later came to america to become president. he is doing a pretty good job outside of our country and seriously, our country isnt THAT bad with him in. what can you expect? 9/11, afghanistan, iraq, and now gotta deal with n korea. were not gunna be in the best economy

 

[Lamma_monk]

Bush rules nuff said.

 

[TheNamelessYam]

some of those happened NOT because of his doing or because he was the president.


i still think that he makes our country look bad.

whats the thing that was cut out with astries its one of the few bigger reasons hes a moron

 

[bamthedoc]

Besides, with inflation at what it was, I was predicting a "crash" in the next presidency. Was I right? YES!!

As for Iraq, Saddam had it comming. I've been waiting 10 years for us to finish that war. And I'm 20! With N. Korea, WE HAVE DIPLOMACY OCCURRING!!! N. Korea even asked to speak with the US alone. No intermediary (i.e. China). Guess what, Bush is doing a great job, and unemployment is due to...GUESS WHAT...CLINTON!!

Clinton created 5 million jobs? Yeah, while he DESTROYED 10 million. He created about 10 million dollars in industry while destroying about 10 BILLION dollars worth of industry.

This is a VERIFIABLE fact! He destroyed the high-paying jobs while he created minimum wage Walmart (and the like) jobs.

And that resume is bogus. Kelly Kramer is an idiot. I have oft used Kramer as my "idiot" example in papers I have written for my history classes (and a few English).

I'd love to tear that resume apart sometime...but that might get boring real fast. Oh well...I may well do it sometime.

 

[TheNamelessYam]

and all the other things on that list? can you defend your president in all of those?

admit it, hes doen more worse things to this country then most presidents, and will basically leave office making the country worse rather then better. 6% of all jobs have been lost in this friggin country, and got NONE of them back. so dont be pissing on clinton.

 

[Lamma_monk]

Ypu liberals really like Clinton...hahaha. The fact is that Clnton left our economy in such a bad shape when he left, when Bush came in, it was going down hill. So at the first years of his precidency, Bush looks bad because the economy is not rebounding from the Clinton era.

 

[bamthedoc]

Oh? And we didn't while he was in office. Why? Liberal media = infinite PR. Bush doesn't have the same PR, the media hates him and can't do anything to hurt him right now. Funny, isn't it?

Oh? 6% unemployment...*yawn* We can handle that with our hands tied behind our backs BLIND!

What did we have during the Great Depression? A LOT MORE. What I hate about argueing about an idiot (Kramer) is that no matter what, you sound like an idiot unless you bring in someone with more intelligance. Who should I bring? Maybe Mike Savage or Rush Limba. How about Dr. Dobson? I don't know, I could list a lot more people more intelligant than Kramer. I've yet to see something from Kramer that was even remotely close to the truth.

Bush has had to put up with a LOT of junk, and look at what he's done! His compromises have SAVED us a lot more than you are giving him credit. He has to put up with one of the worst Congressional balances in HISTORY!! Oh, there's another one, AND IT'S TRUE!! Trust me, I may have fun later. Right now, I'm just upset that somebody actually used KRAMER as an arguement against someone. Kramer...wow, that's weak (esp if you've read any of the stuff authored by "Kelly Kramer").

 

[Lamma_monk]

Amen bamthedoc!! Bush has dealt with a lot of shit. He has had to put up with liberal media, liberal people, liberal UN, ****ing France, 9/11, the anthrax attacks, two wars plus the war on terror, not to mention his struggle to rebound from Clintons damage. **** people, lay off him, he is only one man, and he has definatly shown he is more strong willed and resiliant than most presidents have....like clinton.

you'd be suprised what thats going to do in the next election. i still am not convinced that hes been doing a very good job. presidents have had to put up with way more bullshit and did a helluva lot better of a job then bush.

 

[Lamma_monk]

Like who? FDR and Lincoln is about it.

 

[bamthedoc]

I think he will be reelected. Why? People are actually wising up (I use actually to be somewhat mean; I know people are more intelligant than liberals want them to believe). They are tired of the liberlals continuing stupidity.

Well, that's my opinion anyway. I'm voting for him!

 

[D.F.I.]

no one expected 9/11.........
and afganistan was justified

Geroge Bush was a good prez in foreign affairs, but not good at running his own country.

 

[Lamma_monk]

He can not focus his attention everywhere ay once. Dealing with the economy, 9/11, three wars, random terror attacks, and some stiff hatred from alot of people his hard to put up with.

 

[bamthedoc]

Oh, here's a fact for you, I've been fed up with the UN since BEFORE Clinton. They have just gotten worse. I can't remember the last time they deserved my agreeing with them. As for France, whatever. Have your opinions. Just stay out of world affairs. You've never been very good at it. Conquestidors (sp?), most pirates in history, BAD transition to democracy...need I go on? Yes they helped us during the Revolution, but we saved their butts ten times over. WWI, WWII, and so on and so forth. We even got them our of Vietnam...but that was a blow-up politically.

 

[Lamma_monk]

And yet France is hailed a hero in the liberal world, imagine that!

I read in the newspaper many facts that could've predicted 9/11, and afghanistan didnt do it, and neither did the taliban. angry unemployed people are NOT going to vote for bush in the next election, a LOT of people dont like him, and its most likely he would have lost the first election if it werent for ralph. wait no im mistaken gore got more votes
