Best thing Bush has done.

[akarunway 1]

Basically not helping Isreal attack Iran. Who know what goes on behind closed doors tho? May be propaganda to get Iran to let their guard dowm. I still hate the fucker tho. What would McCain do? http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1019989.html

I'm not certain how the administration got to this point but it appears that they've (so far) made a good decision.

Bush has done alot of good things during his tome but alot of what he has done has been overshadowed by the economy, the length of the Iraq war and the response time for Katrina. It is funny how WE as a nation could want the war then blame bush for it, how he can be held responsible for a hurricane. he did mobilize more aid in a shorter amount of time than in any other natural disaster in the history of the US. as far as the economy, it isn't his fault that to many stupid people over extended themselves and lost their houses.

Not too many people I know thopught the war in Iraq was going to be a good idea.

The Hurricane Katrina debacle was one of the worst displays of ineptness by our government of all time.

The economy is his fault. Look at where our funds spent on the war are really going.

Please define "we as a nation."

Got America in your pocket?

I didn't want this war back in 2003...does that exclude me from your "we?"

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

the popular vote and the vote of congress says we. just because you didn't want it personally doesn't mean WE as a nation didn't.

the huricane debacle was caused by the local government not ordering an evacuation like they should have and then telling the feds that the levees held. remember the governer is in charge of the national gaurd there and is responsible for getting the information to the feds. that was what caused the debacle to start aid.

the war is on a credit card, we haven't paid for it yet. the economy is in the dumper because of STUPID people that went into debt and are now loosing their houses all because of their poor decisions.

I am better off along with alot of my freinds. I have increased my net worth by a couple hundred thousand. Why because i work and take care of my responsibilities unlike alot of people who suck off the system and want the government to carry their asses.

[grimmie 186]

It's possible for Bush to have done good things (or even a lot of good things, or even just one good thing) and yet still have the state of the nation be worse off than at the beginning. See Carter.

When you can't see anything good in a President, you either 1) have a really bad one or 2) can't view him without emotion. The 2nd one is usually the correct one.

Here is what Bush's pals have been up to.
Google "PNAC".

At least welfare is spent right here at home to stimulate the economy.

We are loosing millions of dollar in Iraq that aren't coming back into our social security fund or tax coffers.

i bought my shop after 911, refinance 3 loans(without taking any equity, and still got almost 1000 jumps and 3 vacations to mexico & south america. just goes to show that most of the people are lazy and want the government to do it for them.

I too am much better off now than I was in 2001. Like you, I attribute that to my hard work. I do not attribute it to anything Bush did.

Or 3) have a really bad one AND view him emotionally. In my case, I'll go with door #3, Alex.

I give him credit for handling the immediate aftermath of 9/11 very well.

But that's all I can think of.

Remember 9/11? That was a FEMA success story.

Prior to January 2003, FEMA had:
1. A budget.
2. Qualified management.

Then in January 2003 Bush:
1. Put FEMA under the Dept of Homeland Security.
2. Gave FEMA's budget to the Dept of Homeland Security.
3. Appointed an unqualified buddy as the head of FEMA.

Bush was not responsible for Katrina happening, but he WAS responsible for what happened (and failed to happen) immediately afterward.

I was actually thinking the exact same thing just now, as I clicked and saw you'd already said it. I do think he did well in the short-term following 9/11/01.

That's probably your same most of the people that wanted the war in Iraq.
