Bush is one of the best presidents we've had. He has done a good job so far - far better than Gore or any other democrat could have done.

21st Century Leader? Definitely! He LED us to war for the wrong reasons in which maybe hundreds of innocent ppl died. And many more will die before we'll be able to get out of this mess. All in the 21st century. Definitely!

He is truly a terrible threat to everyone, as he is throwing world peace into jeopardy.

I wonder if any of these fools who posted here a year or more ago look back on their comments and cringe at the colossal stupidity.

People need to get over that he had a DUI and bad grades a million years ago. Since then, he has shown himself to be a very good and incredibly honest politician. The economy isn't his fault either since he doesn't influence that. He has a very smart agenda for us and deserves to stay in office.

This guy might be the lamest American President since Ronnie Rectum. Totally clueless on the economy and so beholden to the ultra rich taxcut darlings that you just want to barf. Still solidly into the idiotic deregulation mantra in the wake of Enron and other corporate scandals: this douchewad just doesn't get it, or care. He's doing a great job flushing the balanced budget, one of the very few accomplishments with any merit achieved by the federal government in the past 15 years, down the toilet, singlehandedly, and in no time flat. Think of all the issues he promised to address in his first term of office during Campaign 2000 that haven't materialized: shoring up Social Security, reining in health care costs, leaving no children behind, etc., just go down the list. This birdbath is also one of the greatest enemies of our environment, ever. It's so reassuring this draftdodging/AWOL, formerly skirt-chasing, boozechugging and coke-sniffing moron/thief is placing our military personnel in harm's way for the sake of his holy petrol war/lame attempt at keeping his public opinion poll numbers up there. What a misuse of this important resource, what an insult to our fighting men and women! Handjob sold the American public a major bill of goods a few years back when doubts were raised, for good reason, concerning his utter lack of experience by saying he would assemble the greatest team of advisors of all time to guide him while he did his on-the-job training. Well, that Dream Team turned out to be an idiotic cadre of political hacks, Cold War retreads and drooling hangeroners who have not only stopped the forward movement of this country in its tracks, but also set back the clock in several very crucial areas. And to top it off, in lying to the public about the WMD, the supposed Iraqi nuclear program and the direct threat by Saddam to the U.S./ties to terrorism, which, of course, were totally non-existent, to drum up support for his ill-advised military misadventure, Handjob is making that other fool, Bubba Clinton, look like an upstanding exemplar of honesty and moral probity. Face it, folks, this Dubya, the illegitimate President, is a total loser, and the best thing any American can do to help his/her beloved country is to make sure there's a regime change in Washington in 2004. Seeing that Handjob's public approval rating is at 56% in August, 2003, this appointed Chief Executive is certain to be a One Term Wonder. Thank Goodness!!!

He has he's heart in the right place but lacks character to perform the job.

How did this man manage to become the most powerful man on the planet?!! Why do I ask? Here: 1. He can't hold a speech or talk to the media without taking horribly long pauses where it's obvious that he's trying to remember what he was talking about. 2. He constantly finds reasons to wage war against middle eastern and african countries. 3. He choked on a pretzel (I actually found this funny.....he thought everyone was concerned about him......maybe not) 4. He is a strong believer in the death penalty (again....a weird obsession with killing people) 5. Doesn't know of any other country on the planet bar America (As he put, the GREATEST country on earth) it's nice to be patriotic....but whats wrong with us? (meaning the rest of the world) I could write a twenty volume book on what is morally wrong about this man and his position. No disrespect to Americans and their country....I love you all really.....just choose your leaders wisely.....because it's them who have a great impact on the youth of tomorrow...and so far the future isn't looking good.

Since I did not grow up during WWII, George W. Bush wins by default as the worst human being on Earth during my lifetime. I will stop myself short, because I could easily get carried away and write for the next three hours about how evil this man is, and how I could never imagine hating someone so much, even someone I'd never met. If I were at all religious I would say he's the antichrist. No death from prolonged torture would even begin to inflict the pain that this guy deserves. It's too bad that there's no hell, because an eternity of agonizing suffering is not enough punishment for him. The fact that he has the IQ of a carrot is no excuse. I hope he gets leprosy and is forced to witness the rape and murder of everyone he has ever cared about.

I'M A DEMOCRAT!

why is he below yassir arafat. Arafat is aterrorist. Do we really live in such a fickle country where we turn our backs on our leaders wah wah. Comeon after september 11 everyone thought he was the greatest and now everyone is turning there back on him .I know hes not perfect.But dang we had a pathological liar in the white house before him. No wonder this nation is on the decline because people have lost the minds. I think he done a fine job considering all the obstacles against him. Iwant to see someone else do it any better.

Walking proof that being an alcoholic for 15 years kills brain cells. Of course, his SAT scores were shamefully low to begin with, so he probably started boozing at 13.

Look at all us Americans. So he is going to go out to war, so he's helping the innocent, so its blood money for oil, CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT????? Hell all those demostrations outside the white house, who were they for? I think he sucks like every other person in power because power corrupts...you know the rest. Bush go back to the jungles of cambodia with your family of monkeys, they miss you ever so dearly.

Well, lets see what Bush screwed up today. More US troops killed, everyone hates the US now, environment plundered some more, trillions of tax breaks for the rich, punish Mandela for daring to differ, NO WMD, Florida electoral votes stolen, savaged a veteran triple-amputee for political gain. Must be Tuesday.

TERRORIST moron. its better to be dead than an american

So far, I have not been impressed by President Bush. We went to war with Iraq for the sole purpose of finding biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction (yeah right) didn't find any,too many of our soldiers lost their lives and for what. Now huge amounts of money are being spent to rebuild Iraq. Then bush comes up with this tax cut plan to help boost the economy that the war didn't boost and the only people who will benefit will be those who are wealthy or make a certain amount of money each year. I have tried to remain optimistic, but that optimism has waned a great deal. Bush's first term is coming to a close and the economy is only getting worse. The sad thing is, that he will probably get re-elected. The rich get richer and those who just don't make that certain dollar amount get nothing.

Since we are judging the President before his term is up, we are unable to have a clear analysis of the long term affects of his policies. Here's my deal: for eight years we had a President who knew everything about domestic affairs and nothing about foreign affairs; now we have a President who knows more about foreign affairs than he does domestic affairs. President Bush, I believe, has his goals and means well, but he is surrounded by advisors who are not helping him find ways to achieve those goals. I am not rating the man as a President- I am rating him as a leader, and I think that what he did in Iraq was admirable, even if it was done at the "wrong time". I personally do not think that there is any "wrong time" to free a nation from a corrupt leader. Whether this was Bush's true reason for going into Iraq is questionable, I think that it was the most logical of all the reasons that the media shoved down our throat. I'm giving the President 3 stars for now, but hopefully in four years I can come back here and we can all see what affects this man has had on our country and the world, positive and negative.

GW Bush is the best president since Reagan and in some ways has surpassed Reagan. This man is the strongest leader we've had in the White House in decades. Thank you for your integrity and the incredible strength you've shown in standing up for the rights of the US to live in a world without terrorist sponsors. If it is indeed the responsibility of the US to be the world's police force, I find Mr. Bush to be the most reasoned and moral leader to guide us in that direction. Dictatorships and terror sponsorship must end, and it will not end by capitulating to these dictators demands and ignoring the illegal human rights crimes against their citizens.

If you judge him strictly by the facts of the economy, he has been one of the worst presidents for our country ever. As far as judging him by the Iraq war he ignited overseas, that's much less clear whether or not the world is in fact a better place. Personally, I agree with those who say Bush's biggest fans are rich businessmen, and ignorant folks who hate foreigners. He is only in office due to serious flaws in the election system, and there's a reason why most of the world sees him as a huge idiot.

He may be the worst president i have ever known about.

a true leader

Although Bush is good at getting what I call "blind conservatives" to follow him, he doesn't have the cognitive tools to know where to go. He leads based on belief, not reason. We're already paying for his "leadership" and will continue to do so for decades.

He should pay more attention to the US economy instead of butting into other countries.

If he wants a war with the Middle East, why isn't he over there figting to? He isn't doing anything over here right now, so that can't be his excuse. He's just scared! He sends all of those people over there to die for this country, but would he die for them? NO!!!! He would rather sit on his big butt, telling them what to do, and hiding in some secret location, so that no one can find him. If he wants a war with Saddam, we need to send him over to Iraq and let just the two of them duke it out on their own, so that no on else dies that doesn't believe in the purpose of this war in the first place.

Words cannot express the scorn and disgust I have for this smirky "better han thou" unelected (not because of Electoral College, but the college of Florida shenanigans) pResident. Would someone give me a call when the 1st amendment has been brought back.

George W. Bush is the second best president ever (Lincoln was the best)!!!!!

People who support this son-of-a-Bush have no concept of how the world perceives us and see his bloody war on terrorism as entertainment and an outlet for their xenophobic sadistic nature as they sit in some run-of-the-mill sports bar yelling "kick their asses." What the hell is wrong with wanting peace anyway? People do not understand that this bastard is trying to promote his own agenda and deepen the pockets of his cronies.

I just finished reading a story on civilian casualities in iraq, specifically about a 12 yr old who's entire family was slaughtered in a *U.S.* missle attack. He lost both his arms in the same missile attack. Who is the Axis Of Evil now? This is why terrorist cells form in the first place. To us, its a way of "protecting our freedom & way of life", but to the rest of the world, they are American war crimes. This just adds to the long list of war crimes commited by the US.

The greatest president to ever take office i am a bush supporter, he represents all this country used to be about. The hippie communist mentality is not what this country is about, it is a new thing that the forefathers would of been ashamed of.....THATS RIGHT! I SAID IT!!!!!

Wheres Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?

First, I do agree with many others who say it may be a bit early to judge a president while the term's not over. So far, though, I went from supporting to being horrified at President Bush's actions. I was glad that he was around for the September 11th attacks--he displayed great leadership and I felt he handled the situation extremely well. However, things seemed to go downhill from there. First, he throws around the term "Terror" liberally now, pasting that catch phrase on anything that he disagrees with. Second, I do believe that it would probably be best if Saddam weren't in power, but to ignore the UN isn't the wisest of decisions one can make. Third, I believe he is running (at least in part) a religious war like any other terrorist there is: It's great to have religion and faith, but to look down or disagree with someone simply for differing religious beliefs is not the mark of a strong leader. In a commentary in the Baltimore Sun (March 16th, 2003, page 5C), Gordon Livingston writes: "In 1993, just before running for governor of Texas, Mr. Bush told a Jewish reporter that only believers in Jesus go to heaven." By mixing in faith to justify acts of war not only disrespects that faith, but makes the cause no better than that of those we are fighting against.

I still like the way this guy refuses to let the idiots in the media and the political left sway his decision to go to war with Iraq whether they be in our own country or abroad. I just read that there is a lady from New Zealand who said she is willing to be crucified by Bush (nails driven through the hands, feet and everything) if he would drop the War with Iraq issue. Why? So Saddam can continue to do this very same sh*t to his own people?! You think we're doing this because we want their oil. Well guess what. This war is going to cost a hell of a lot more than any oil we get from Iraq. It's like I said before. This war is a rescue mission and it disgusts me to see how the moronic liberal war protesters can so quickly turn a blind eye to the Sept. 11 attacks or to the suffering of the Iraqi people. If Hussein is trying to hide the fact that he has WMD's then you know damn well he wants to use them too!

A despot who only knows how to lead economies (to hell) and war rallies. Call a referendum for him to step down, before it's too late.

The only thing Bush has going for him is that he's managed to convince America that it is wartime. Eventually they'll wake up and realize that he's bankrupting the government, and the only people he's compassionate to are the rich.

President Bush is carring out his fathers previous agenda against Iraq. When Saddam nationalized oil production in Iraq, Mobile, Exxon and the Bush family lost billons in oil revenues. Remember first and foremost just where GW's butter for his bread came from. That's the REAL reason Bush is going after him. He tells us Saddam is a menace to the world with his"Weapons of mass destruction" but why is Saddam any real threat? What has he done? Think of all the other countries that also have such capabilites, is he going after China or India? It's a total farce. I find President Bush to be an opportunist and his world policies frightening,with his impending declaration of war on Iraq. Anyone who supports this war and who would willingly send thier child in to fight this battle (for the Bush family pocketbook) is a sad fool. And where does it end?? Does the rest of the third world get dragged in? Do we also allow North Korea the chance to strike with our attention turned to Iraq?? Do we let the lessons learned during WW2 fall silent as we plunge headlong into WW3??? I long for Bill Clinton, we all prospered under him and he would'nt have brought us to this. Gore should have been selected, but since ol' Jeb was in power in FL ( I am ashamed to call this state home )...we got GW. And the race was so close only because Monica saved the DRESS and the scandal that dirty dress caused overshadowed all the good the Clinton administration had achieved. Gore wore the crown of "guilt by association" in the eyes of many who would place false sexual "morality" before true leadership. If we do fall into war with Bush.....Lord help us all.

W is the dumbest person on the face of this earth I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe — I believe what I believe is right. - George W. Bush, in Rome, July 22, 2001

GO GEORGE!!!!!

he's not really president...that is if you believe in a government for the people & by the people. he is a fraud, a cheater, & a corporate slut. if you do not make at least 1/2 million a year & you support this moron, you're entirely stupid.

Too much the politician. Return to Christian roots.

He's an idiot in every sense. But a dangerous one.

Easily the dumbest President ever. I believe that the leader of the strongest, most powerful nation in the world should be way more competent. He's an idiot, he can't speak worth a damn, he constantly embarasses himself saying the dumbest things, and this embarasses our country. Alos he can't think for himself, his advisor make every important decision. He has no capacity for independant thought and that is why he always says stupid things whenever he is asked a tough question. Foreign policy- SUCKS. Environmental policy- THE WORST. And we are not at war now. If anything we will be going to war over a conflict that his administration has created.

A horrible American leader!!!President Bush does not know how to straighten out his priorities. Instead of going after Bin Laden and Al Quaida, he'd rather go after Saddam Hussein who is a lesser threat to the U S then Al Quaida. Also, what kind of a President would let his own 20-year old daughters get busted for underage drinking and drugs? Gore should have won the 2000 presidential election, not this irresponsible Republican!!!

Thank God Bush was President when 9-11 occurred instead of Gore. If the Democrats were in power, they would have smilingly handed the country and our children over to the Al-Queda, while begging their forgivness for not being radical "muslims". I love to read all the whining Democrats who lost. Democrats: Bush won, you lost - get over it (But they can't!). The best President since Reagan.

Bush is a stupid baboon face as$Hole who has no idea what in hell he's doing. He's the worst president we've ever had ... can't somebody make a petition to throw him out or something? He sucks. He's sending this country to the sh*t. Now he's making people get Small Pox vaccines even though it is a fact that it will make a few thousands of Americans get sick and die and the terrorists probably have not even thought of biological warfare. Bush is just making a big storm in a small glass of water. Who does he think he is? His stupid war is taking us to the sh*t. How could someone so stupid make it all the way up to the presidency. This man has dog $#!+ in the head.

In regards to his election...dont blame him or Republicans. Blame our governments voting laws. Personally though I dont think too many Bush haters would have complained about the election laws before the election, but they sure are now. Atleast we can be thankful that our country does have an electoral system. Although it has its flaws, id rather be here than a lot of other places in the world.

a fascist son of a fascist who usurped the (2nd) most powerful office in the world... and now he's waging war to (a) pay back all the "campaign contributions" made by the military industrial complex/Big Oil, and (b) get revenge for daddy's failed war. Idiot.

Seems like a manipulated little puppet. Will lead the US into a third world war which could have been prevented. That spineless man has way too much power!

Do Americans not realise that most other countrys HATE Bush?, I mean we think America is great, its people may at times be a bit ignorant, also a bit arogant, and sometimes just plain rude...but we can handle that...hell we liked Clinton, but Bush has all the American traits that we dont like..only 100 times worse.

He's an idiot. Period.
