[*]massive increases in the national debt under his watch...china is buying us out. GWB is anything but a fiscal conservative.
[*]the number of people without health insurance has increased by millions under his watch
[*]no weapons of mass destruction, no meaningful connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda -- nearly all of his original justifications for war were wrong
[*]the FEMA director he hired was fired from a previous job because he literally RUINED the organization...
[*]he created the gargantuanly inefficient department of homeland security -- a departmnent so obsessed with terrorism it cut aside many important tasks for keeping our country safe, including protecting our agriculture and emergergency management
[*]he's cut funding for alternative energy research despite skyrocketing gas prices
[*]the taliban still exists in Afghanistan in large numbers
[*]portions of Iraq are still occupied by terrorists and insurgents with no end in sight and no exit strategy, despite him saying before he was elected that waging war requires an exit strategy
[*]he campaigned on 'No Child Left Behind' then severely underfunded it
[*]on september 10, 2001 bush's newly appointed attorney general cut the FBI?s request for new counterterrorism money by 12 percent
[*]on september 13, 2001 he said "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." Just Six month later he said: "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
I didn't vote for Bush in either election.........................
1. The president does not control the economy. it was taking a noise dive when he took office. Bush has done nothing to hurt the economy.
2. Yeah he isn't a fiscal conservative and that bothers me.
3. How is health insurance the government's job? Last time I checked my job provided that or I paid for it myself.
4. Bush had no control over the evidence he was presented. Stating there were no WMDs is stupid. We just didn't find what we expected to find. You need to look at at news reports before we went in. Every country in the UN knew he had them.
5. Don't know anything about that to comment. But the State is to blame for most of the problems. The mayor and government did nothing to prepare or prevent what happened.
6. Total crap. Wanna know why Homeland Security is inefficient? Because they are getting held back having to follow so many government policies. Policy is killing us there.
7. Alternate fuelings will never become mainstream until there is a need for them(looks like that could be approaching but I doubt it). Hybrid car? My wife's car gets better miles/gallon. I love diesel.
8. Not even worth talking about.
9. Since I just left Iraq, your information is garbage IMO. I see the end in sight. It will take some years but we are making progress everyday.
10. Educated has been screwed up and I see no end in sight.
last two, whatever.
