George Bush... as a person, could be a real nice guy, not really sure.

As a leader of a country, personally I think there could be better. But since he is not the leader of my country, I am indifferent towards him.

George W. Bush is the third worst president ever or maybe second (no one will ever be worse than Nixon), but he really hasn't changed society for the better. I don't think he's made any huge reforms or performed any outstanding good deeds, or that he's an upstanding citizen, but he really isn't that bad. I mean even Ronald Reagan, one of the best presidents ever has done worse things than Bush (the Iran-Contra Affair), but as i said we could definitely have a better president. Bush has yet to impress me, he's stupefied me and completely and utterly surprised me with some of his actions, but i don't think i like him, but i don't think i hate him either. I really don't know. If he causes WWIII i will be pissed at him though, because i am not entering a freaking draft just because we're low on soldiers.

I don't think that they will start a draft for many years, because the politicians have to vote on it and two or three years ago there was only 3 people that voted for the draft, but if he does start WWIII i will be mad Hopefully they won't start a draft though.

Honestly people criticize someone of what they actually did rather than what you fictionalize of what the person may do. Like the WW3 garbage and the draft. Bush hasn't even talked of a draft nor world war 3 and he doesn't even has the power alone to start them so why criticize him of something that hasn't happened or even dream of happening? I'm not meaning to insult you all but you sound really stupid when you talk like that. Do some research and actually criticize what he actually has done because that's the only valid thing you can base your opinion off of. Learn what your government is about and how it runs.

Who said he wants WWIII? Oh if Bush doesn't want World War III its not going to happen... Right... So if we get attacked by like 5 different countries and all hell breaks loose (even if its not Bush's fault) that doesn't mean WWIII will probably arise? When NK threatens us with nukes and the Venezuelan president threatens us with a video game what do you think is going to happen, huh? It doesn't matter whether Bush wants WWIII, do you think the other presidents wanted WWI or WWII, i highly doubt it...


EDIT: BUSH DOES NOT HAVE TO WANT WWIII, BUT NOTE HE IS MAKING US VULNERABLE WITH ALL THE TROOPS IN IRAQ!

No he is not. You really don't know what you're talking about. We've been in the Iraq War for years now and there haven't been any signs of WW3. In order for WW3 to happen many countries have to get involved to opposing sides. Bush isn't causing a world war so that's a invalid reason to criticize him.

Yes I know, but still there have been more threats recently than when we first went into Iraq. Since we're increasing the amount of troops in Iraq now, we are thus making ourselves seem vulnerable and weak. It has already been stated that we're low on troops and equipment. If another conflict arises, whether it be Bushes fault or not, we are probably screwed, because we can't pull out of Iraq. It wouldn't matter who was president, even if it was the best president ever, this would still be a messed up situation, ok. I'm just saying that with more and more troops going to Iraq, and with other countries threatening us (most recently Iran) we could get seriously screwed if we don't have enough troops to deal with a new conflict. So if any other president, whether i thought he was great or not, had kept on adding to the amount of troops in Iraq i'd be pissed at him, too. It's not that I 100% hate Bush, it's that i hate his decisions, which of course could have been made by a different president, too.

Since we're increasing the amount of troops in Iraq now, we are thus making ourselves seem vulnerable and weak. It has already been stated that we're low on troops and equipment. If another conflict arises, whether it be Bushes fault or not, we are probably screwed, because we can't pull out of Iraq.Do you think that the generals and top military leaders are dumb enough in the strongest army to leave this country unsafe? How many terrorist attacks have happened since 9/11? NONE.
It's not that I 100% hate Bush, it's that i hate his decisions, which of course could have been made by a different president, too.Well if you dislike Bush because of the troop surge then hate our top military generals/strategists because I'm sure they wanted the troop surge.

I do dislike the military generals and strategists, too. If anything they're worse than Bush, and some of them are really corrupt. I don't know all the details but there was some money scandal involving the Iraqi funds and some people from the U.S. military.

dislike 100%
killed our economy, war with iraq didn't help or save us unless it was to save little Kuwait. he raised our oil prices, because he has his own oil fields, and last he doesn't seem to care abut his citizens too much because during hurricane Katrina, the day after the hurricane Clinton would have been there with supplies, not 3 days later like Bushy

Horrible president.
But he's not responsible for quite as many things as people blame him for.

Congress controls spending so if you dislike the national debt blame Congress.
Do you actually have any proof that he deliberately raised oil prices? Bush doesn't control the cost of oil. As far as Hurricane Katrina blame the state government and FEMA. You have no clue what Clinton would have done so don't even waste your time arguing that.

We live in a government that's controlled by many people, not just one man. I don't completely agree with Bush but put the blame where it belongs.

I kind of realize, i think i don't hate Bush as much as i hate the current U.S. government. A lot of them are dipshits, some are good, i think it's just that Bush hasn't done any major good things, such as some economic reforms, and the gov't. has had more screw-ups. When a govt looks bad, so does its president (or leader) and if Bush doesn't do something, such as win the Iraqi War, no one's going to care for him. The govt's screw-ups land on his shoulders, even if they're not his fault.
