hey lets all critisize clinton while were at it or reagan who cares who dumb the guy is he was elected so if its anyones fault what he does it WAS THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM, not to mention the war was voted on to so anyone who thinks it was a dumb idea whose fualt is that?
I have to agree with Ravenas on this - and as I mentioned before, those that DID vote for Bush really have no right to complain about his actions, but those that didn't vote for him are within their democratic rights.
Secondly, the war in Iraq did not have popular approval before we got trigger happy, and approval for the war fell through the floor after it turned out that the CIA and Bushes administration fed us a load of BS over the nefarious WMDs and other tripe. Afghanistan was a different story, though, as the entirety of the US (and a vast majority of the world) was peeved after 9-11 and wanted us to take action - although, it is sad that after 3 years there, we still couldn't find Bin Laden and Bush doesn't care anymore.
i dont like him but i hate how people automatically just act stupid and make fun of the poor guy who cares if he is stupid he is running the country and as long as the us doesnt go into another deppression or have a war on our so i dont really care
Honestly, IMO, my biggest gripe over this is that the president represents our country - when other nations and their citizens think of the US, they think of the president, not the average Joe. Our president should be 100% literate and highly educated, I believe. The more formally educated the president sounds and acts, the more other nations, and our own citizens will take him seriously. Take Clinton, for example, even though he had a couple of screw-ups towards the end of his last term, he was very well spoken and liked by other countries and their leaders. How often we were at differences with other natins during his 8 years? Even Bush Sr commanded respect when he spoke. Granted, he had the same verbal slip-ups as his son does, he carried himself differently. The president represents our nation, and when the rest of the world already knows our country's literacy rates are sub-par, and when they've become dis-illusioned to american culture because of our movies and tv shows that they've been subjected to, the president's poor grasp of the english vocabulary and grammar only re-enforce those beliefs the rest of the world has.
As for any potential depression - it's economically hard to say . . . although many corporations are currently doing alright (not great, though), Wall Street has been all over the place just this last year alone, and the value of the US dollar is steadily declining. The work supply for many of blue-collar fields is currently dry; auto-repair, electrical, plumbing, road-crews, construction . . . there hasn't been a lot of work for these fields this year, and when they're all sitting still in the water like that, it's really, very bad for the economy because the economy's back-bone isn't doing anything. All it would take is one catastrophic incident to the american economy to usher in another depression (something big . . . say, if Ford or GM declared bankruptcy or completely folded), hopefully, though, nothing will happen before the next president and change-up in Congress.
than why insult the guy in charge everyone knows he is a damn figurehead the congress is in charge bush just takes the blame if anyone would bother to look the congress is made up of old farts who have no idea what the world is like now and are slowly leading america into a decline that could create the largest single governed 3rd world country ever known
except for Bush being a figurehead . . . I completely agree with you here. It would really help if more people took the time to pay attention to what our government is doing, but there are way too many people complacent to their actions. Sad, isn't it?
well at least we mostly agree on something ehh
