Question:
OK people, poll time, what did George do as president that gave him such a bad reputation, back up your bashin?

He really didn't do anything that YOU didn't vote for. The Iraq war HAD to be done, Hussein had to be taken out of power, and some sort of new government had to be establish. And ofcourse taking some oil while at it. What, would you rather pay 5 bucks at the pump?? The economy was already in the shitter for other reason beyond the government control.

People blame him for 9/11 and they think he invaded the wrong country. Mostly I think it's just the new fad to hate him.

There was no paricular reason for Saddam's removal other than assumption that he had WMD. Real raionale for the war was imminent threat by Saddam's WMD. And Saddam didn't just pop up after 911. Saddam has been around for lot longer. We were scared into Iraq War with 911. It was this "anything can happen" mentality after 911 that drove Bush into Iraq. Why didn't others take care of Iraq before? Even during Clinton era there was big GOP majority Congress right? Led by Newt. Conservatives could have pushed for it back then. But no, its only after 911 people really started making case for "finishing off" Iraq.



If you don't negotiate with terrorists why let them dictate our foreign policy? Bush allowed Osama to dictate just that.



Its like some ******* annoying kid at school that keep starting crap with you. Just waiting for you to get madder and madder and do something stupid.



And we did pay 5 bucks at the pump already. Commodity traders, speculators helped to drive up prices and after demand for oil just dropped and speculators pulled out so did the oil price now days.



Foreign policy? Obama has to finish fight in Afghan which Bush started in some 2001, but failed to finish. Because someone scared him into going to Iraq. Got all resources held up there. While Osama and his Taliban in Afghan grew stronger and stronger in Afghan. Obama will be looking to send more troops to Afghan which started with Bush in the White House. Obama isn't so stupid to not finish the real fight.

I agree with you and I didn't vote for him, people tend to forget congress and senate agreed too, otherwise they would have voted him down, they were all for him, with the exception of a minor few, who rarely voted against him at the same time.

Stuff like today's million dollar parties and endless security put a big bite in our tax dollar, along with the feeding, medically treating and trying to stop, all the illegals.

Millions of people now own homes because he had the down payment dropped from 20 to 3 %. It's not his fault people over extended their credit, that is a huge part of our economic problem.



Didn't vote for Bush either time, but didn't vote Obama this time either.

And yes, I've been voting many in many elections, so it's not that I'm not old enough.

Jack, the war in Iraq did not 'have to be done'. It was in fact based on lies. The result has cost the lives of many of our best and brightest young people. Hussein was an evil person. But HE did not bring down the World Trade Center. George failed in his attempt to bring Osama to justice, so he merely chose to throw his lot against another foe, what....a "consolation prize?" Think about it.

god man have u been in america the past 8 years? he killed millions of innocent ppl, killed our troops, pretty much destroyed what was left of iraq. i cant even explain this in words, the minute katrina happened he took a 6 week vacation to his ranch in texas. im not sayin obama is God or anything but bush really messed us up here. look at him, hes the door knob who was walking out and saw that the doors were locked when he tryed to walk out of the podium. the same guy who was caught picking his nose at a ranger game, same guy who flipped his bike over the handle bars. hes a dumb@$$ if u ask me.

First of all, I disagree with you on the Iraq War, which didn't have to be started. The Iraqi government had nothing to do with the events of 9/11. The War in Afghanistan was and is still is more important, but sadly it was left in the dark after Iraq. While I agree the Saddam Hussein was a tyrant, he wasn't planning an attack on the US. We went into Iraq without solid evidence, the government misled the people, lied to the UN, and when the UN didn't approve, we invade Iraq anyway.

I didn't vote for him either of the two times he was elected, and among the oh so many productive things he did as president was vacationing during the matters of hurricane Katrina.



Come on Borat, you know better than that.

LMFAO! I cannot get over how similar they are. And by the way, I never voted for Bush, nor would I ever.
2009-01-21 00:02:37 UTC
We know who you voted for. Sorry your precious McPAIN didn't win. Well not really. Bush was just a $h!tty president period. I still really don't know why we have people dying over there. Why exactly did we have to go to war? Oh yea and NEWSFLASH we were paying close enough to $5 at the pump. But I guess you didn't notice.

The liberals hate him because he was arrogant and cocky and Christian and he got us in a war.



The conservatives don't like him because he practiced no fiscal responsibility, no limited government, and he socialized the banking industry.

I don't think George Bush was that bad. I think he jumped the gun on the Iraqi war, but he was told that they had nucs, Um, I don't want to be nuc'd? He also inherited a bad economy. Most people don't know why they don't like him and just say "He's an idiot" yeah, he went to Harvard, Yale, and became president twice...not stupid? Unless you judge people on their speech...



Edit: LMAO I lovee how I make the hypocrites SQUIRM!!!
2009-01-21 00:02:44 UTC

Forcing his religious beliefs on the nation and telling various groups that their religion doesn't exist becuase it doesn't agree with his.



Gas prices went through the roof when he was in office.



He was known to be stupid on countless occasions.
2009-01-20 23:59:15 UTC
i didn't vote for bush btw, and he caused gas prices to go up, and the war did NOT have to be done. if bush didn't make so many enemies, then maybe things wouldn't be the way they are and Obama wouldn't have a mess to try and clean up
2009-01-20 23:58:23 UTC
We hate him because his name is George.
2009-01-21 00:06:26 UTC
