Bush did a good job for me. If he killed more terrorists I would rated him higher. Start with the finsbury park crowd since the english don't have the guts anymore. 4 years from now we need another BUSH.

Yeah, because there's a whole hell of a lot he could have done, down in Florida, to stop those planes ( up in Boston, NYC , etc... .) from being hijacked and crashing into the WTC, Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania.

You're right, he should have IMMEDIATELY raised his voice, shook his fist in anger and stormed out of the classroom. THAT would have shown those mean terrorist who's boss!

Well... I think he was not very good presidemt, but he was not bad president. He just happened to be president in bad times... He didn't have a lot of experience, compared to other candidates.

I don't think I would classify Bush as a Good President but I would also not say that he was the worst by a long shot. I would say he is mediocre.

But I digress you wanted something good about him.

Bush came out in favor of private retirement accounts. According to the latest Zogby poll, by Cato, 68% of the public support the idea.

(public support in and of itself is not a measure of goodness though. Just saying it is popular.)

Sure, he wasn't a search and rescue specialist - he's just the (so-called) leader of this nation, and Commander in Cheif of our forces. Why should he be expected to actually get off his ass when we're attacked?

And you reckon Bush is useless so perhaps staying out of the way and letting the people in charge get the job done was a good thing.

Have you ever had a boss that liked to micro-manage? Even with the best intentions, these people can do more harm than good by interfering where they are not needed.

Say Bush, after hearing about the attacks, politely excused himself from the classroom. What do you propose he could have done differently to alter the aftermath of the attacks? Would emergency services have arrived sooner? Would more people have been evacuated out of the twin towers to safety? Would we have known the attackers identities sooner? Would that have made any difference?

Please don't say that the attacks would have never happened in the first place if Bush was doing his job. That is not the point. You dislike Bush because of his actions on 9/11 and that is what is presently being discussed.

Well, I don't believe he got the full breifing on the whole situation right there in the classroom, so I'd say step one would be get off his ass and make sure he was aware of all available information.

So you do not have a problem with what Bush did, you have a problem with when Bush did it. If Bush had immediately run from the classroom and hid in his limo for half an hour, then you would be okay with his actions? There would be no tape of Bush in the classroom then. And when it comes down to it, we are speaking of optics here, nothing more.

JONGSSTRAW

Bush will go down in history as a bad President. He hit his high note right after Sept 11, 2001. That day, the whole country ( except for leftist America-haters) was left wondering what was happening and was more to come. Bush went on TV and spoke to the nation with a calm assurance. He correctly identified the attackers as Islamic terrorists, and said he would fight a new kind of war against them.

From that moment on, he made one blunder after the next...beginning with waiting 30 days to go into Afghanistan....by sending only a skeleton military force into Afghanistan, and by dealing with warlords and opium dealers to fight the Taliban and Al Qaida. Bad as that mess was, he then announced "shock & awe" for Bagdhad, a ridiculous & embarrassing over-statement of plans for invasion. As much as I hated the terrorists for 911,going into Iraq was a huge mistake. He took his eye off the ball, and in Iraq it has been one blunder after another...going back to the un-fetterred looting by the civilians, the Paul Bremer "era" of incompetence & daily mass death, and the Rumsfeld strategy of allowing our too few troops to get fucking blown up every day with roadside bombs. They failed to get Al Sadr in Fallujah, and they failed miserably to secure the country. Add to Bush's woes his utter lack of strength when it came to leadership in dealing with OPEC, and his abysmal record of international cooperation....then Katrina, then waterboarding, then failing to go to FISA Court for surveylliance, failing to go after national security leakers at the CIA and NSA.

An important element in evaluating a President's legacy is how they left the nation when their term was up. Bush is handing off America to the next Presidnet in very dire straits...maybe the worst handoff I've ever seen in 50+ years.............
$ 4.00 gas...maybe soon $ 8 gas
Endless death in Iraq??...for what again?
Out of control Mexican border
American sanctuary cities defying Immigration law with impunity
US Dollar terribly weak
Economy near recession
Out of control food and energy prices
Home mortgage debacle

To his credit, and that's very limited, he did cut my income taxes slightly, and I have received a total of $ 1500 in tax rebate/incentive checks in 8 years.

But he is leaving a big fat mess for the country. He should hang his head in deep shame when he welcomes the next President to Washington.

Wow! Could it be.....?

Oh, it was ironic.

Yes, imho Bush IS a terrorist. That's what we call someone who kills and tortures civilians achieve a politcal end, isn't it? Does it make any difference if it's done with missiles or with explosive vests? If you listen to some of our vets, they describe a situation that's mayhem and madness... anyone and anything a target.

It seems to me we need to recover our honor and backbone, and stop our craven quest for oil and what we perceive as the "safety" of killing everyone who hates us even though they're 10,000 miles away. We HAVE to walk our talk. We've got to stop "promising peace but delivering death". It goes deeper than w/drawing our troops from the "every conceivable place in the world" we have them stationed, or raising the minimum wage, or even instituting universal health care.

We have to stop running in fear. We run run run. We run from the capitalist, from the terrorist, from crime, from our neighbor, from the future and we bury ourselves in "American Idol" and mounds of "stuff" that we don't even need because we're told endlessly that we can "live on the edge", or "find freedom" if we only buy this that and the other.

I have hope that we will recover. Not all Presidents are bad, nor all politicians. Some actually DO think about what's good for the USA. Not Bush, tho.

The Presidency In The Year 2007

With multiple resignations and the loss of the Republican majority in Congress, many of President Bush's accomplishments failed to make the news. Here are some of the high points of this year in the Bush administration:

Feb. 10—Left a crowd outside a batting cage in Baltimore feeling proud to be Americans

March 5—Received his 30-day chip from Alcoholics Anonymous

April 8—Hid Easter eggs so effectively that no child could find them

April 15—Donated $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund by ticking box on tax return

June 16—Finally finished fixing up that old '67 Chevy that had been on blocks on the White House front lawn

Aug. 14—Said "Ahmadinejad" correctly without looking at palm

Sept. 14—Bagged lunch, which helped knock $65 off of $9 trillion debt

Oct. 1—Worked so hard all day, didn't realize it was 5:15 p.m.

thanks to the onion for that reminder

See Finn, you and I and most other Americans are green, have webbed fingers & toes, and are sitting in a country-sized circular metal skillet, and they are turning up the heat oh-so-slowly....
