Why do people hate George Bush so much?
I hated George Bush when i was younger until i figured out the truth. Im only 16, yet I find that Bush loved this country. Let me ask you all this who hate Bush: Would ANYONE handled 9/11 better? He gave motivation to the country to keep going and not to be afraid and did all he could to fight terrorism. He overthrew the taliban government, established a new government in afghanistan, and had al queda camps destroyed. He for sure thought that saddam was a threat and new evidence is pointing out that saddam DID in fact have some sort of WMDs. I mean why would he have made the weapons inspectors suspicious if he had nothing to hide? Anyways Bush did overthrow saddam, won the war, created a democracy with free elections in iraq, and the troop surge in iraq was successful. Yes bush didnt do all he could in afghanistan, but hey guess what? We have not been attacked since 9/11 again. Plus, democrats SUPPORTED the war in iraq, don’t beleive me? look it up. Bush did bailouts and really did try to help the economy and tried to reform education. He cares about the troops and has one hell of a throw for opening baseball games. It shows he loved this country and you have to admit, he did not care what people thought of him. Our president right now is bad by passing laws that americans dont want with his socialist agenda. In my opinion bill clinton is the cause of our jobs lost because they were shipped to mexico and china while he was just getting ********. Clinton had plenty of opportunities to kill bin laden, he weakened our military, pulled out of somalia after the incident in mogadishu(black hawk down) which was his fault because they werent properly ready to fight and yet still kicked ass but since 18 brave soldeirs died, he pulled out. Clinton also lied to the public, put bans on assault weapons, and was a draft dodger. He did not love this country. I wish i was older so i could have served in the military under bush, but when i do serve, i hope its not under obama. So really, cmon bush haters give me all you got, because you’ll just take what the democrats did wrong, and blame it on bush and other republicans (like the free trade) and you do it all the time. Heres your “precious democrats” supporting the iraq war before it started, funny how they changed.
@shymonster have we been attacked again? nope better the terrorists being “tortured,” if thats what you call it, then me and millions of other americans being blown up.
@carol R how could he be a war criminal if congress approved of it with STRONG support
@silent do good your answer is ignorant because you have only placed opinion with no facts. I never heard of a judge sentencing someone to death over religion. Bush did very well after 9/11 and anyone who argues with that is an idiot. And if ALL the politicians supported the war, obviously they felt threatened. If americans hate the iraq war so much, why did he he re elected and have a approval rating of 80% at the time? it shows many people agreed with the iraq war and when it went bad because of the ignorance of the media, people were on a bandwagon to hate bush and the war. And guess what? iraq is doing a lot better now and the soldiers on the ground say that the war was worth it and iraq was better off. Ill listen to them before ill listen to idiots!
@silent do good again, im not gonna cite everything i said because if i did, it would take hours. But oh well, i guess you dont know the facts to well. What do i have to put a link to clinton getting a ********? NO because EVERYONE knows it happened. Do i have to give a link to bush giving a speech after 9/11? no. Do i have to give a link to that bush was re elected? Nope. It would be a waste of time. Everything i put down is fact. You stated no facts. You say because im young im manipulated? Really? because i dont know too many people who actually like bush. ive looked at the facts and formed an opnion thats not stupid like yours. Iraq went well. Yes there were mistakes but any president would have had them. Saddam was ousted and the surge, and occupation was successful. theres a reason why he was re elected. He was made a fool by the media. The media’s ignorance is destroying the values of this country. Dont beleive me? look at the vietnam war, we were winning yet according to the me
D hates R
R hates D
the end
he’s an idiot that pandered to the religious right at the expense of everybody
Facts really help, don’t they Shawn?
He handled 9/11 very well.
He also did not lie about WMDs. The intel was wrong.
I simply think he was too Liberal in his economic policies.
Overall= Good President that made some major mistakes.
It’s trendy to hate George Bush. Most people are follower-type personalities.
Four words Mr Ignorant:
Iraq and Guantanamo Bay
he was not a liberal
Long question, but most people hated Bush because the people he hired to run two wars did a terrible job of it, and it cost thousands of American, Iraqi, and Afghani lives. I’m not sure if Al Gore could’ve handled 9/11 better, but Bush was not the best choice for many.
The democrats have made him a negative image target and let me tell you, their propaganda has worked. My family which lives in Canada tells me that most people there think of Bush as a horrible person but think of Clinton as some type of American hero. It is MSNBC, ABC and other liberal propaganda outlets teaming up to slant and bend the truth.
I am tired of this too.
People don’t hate him, they just wish he had never been president.
They hated Bush so that a Democrat would get elected after him.
Where is this new evidence of WMD except in the minds of noecons? I’ve heard of new evidence of WMDs for seven years now and it has always turned out to be false. There was no WMD’s in Iraq! Bush lied and people died. He lied to go to war and the Bush regime manufactures evidence to manipulate those who voted to go to war.
George W Bush, the dumbest puppet to occupy the White House.
Bush is a war criminal as is Cheney and Rumsfeld.
People hate George Bush because he was Republican. Liberals desire power more than anything else, and an ineffective weak president such as GWB was the perfect poster boy for them to use to whip up the communist, socialist mobs, in an attempt to seize private property, raise taxes, and stop their enemies from exercising their right of free speech.
Your a smart man to read and discover things on your own with out just following any parties talking points.George Bush will always be my President.He saw us through a very bad time.He made mistakes and i didn’t agree with everything he did but he was a good President and time and history will find that out.If you serve in the Military some day,we will be proud to have you.I wish he was President right now.I would feel a lot safer.
Bush replace Obama anytime. Please
I’m not particularly a supporter of Bush, but I think his “awful” presidency has been tremendously exaggerated.
Starting a war which people don’t support tends to lead to people thinking they’re a bad president, even though he handled 9/11 pretty well.
Just think, it could have been a hell of a lot worse if Al Gore had won the election.
Clinton lied about sex. Bush lied in order to start a war. Clinton was a douchebag for his lying, but that’s the end of the story. Bush’s lies ended up killing 4000+ Americans and several times that in citizens of other countries … and he let Bin Laden get away while doing it. THAT’S the reason that we hate him. HE LET BIN LADEN GET AWAY. Why is that difficult to understand?
He wasnt a bad president, nor a great one. He was average with both good and bad. But depending on which side of the political fence you ask if he was either or.
Iraq you can not blame on him, the intel for 10 years or they hid them. You choose.Why we went in, we wanted to kick someones butt(we wanted to kill someone for 9/11.hard fact but true.most people according to cnn poll i posted yesterday regardless of wmds on the subject.) and he showed his with throwing out the inspectors again. And we kicked it.
9/11 was handled nicly.
Patriot act was,is(obama still hasnt gotten rid of it libs)bad.
A housing market that should have burst in the late 90′s but didn’t. The war being profitable as usual kept it away for a few years.
Not giving intel on WMD’s(look on wikileaks for a huge list that the public didn;t hear about)instead of saying there were none. Well the intel is out so come out with the truth now.
I don’t like gitmo. give them military court like WWII. I know noncombatant, but when someone trys to kill a soldier, i say there combatant.
Most historians not politically minded will see the facts and results without accusing or favorable eyes, and will show him as average. He had some good, and bad times.
“Would ANYONE handled 9/11 better?”
-I think so, yes. Can’t say really either way.
“He overthrew the taliban government, established a new government in afghanistan, and had al queda camps destroyed”
-And a judge just sentenced a muslim who converted to christianity to death. Bush didn’t do a very good job.
“Plus, democrats SUPPORTED the war in iraq, don’t beleive me? look it up.”
-So what? that doesn’t mean they were right.
“In my opinion bill clinton is the cause of our jobs lost because they were shipped to mexico and china while he was just getting ********. ”
-Bush did nothing to stop outsourcing.
“how could he be a war criminal if congress approved of it with STRONG support ”
-Congress never declared war. For some reason they bought the package of lies sold by Powell.
“If americans hate the iraq war so much, why did he he re elected and have a approval rating of 80% at the time?”
-Bush never had a 80% approval rating. Iraq has NOTHING to do with 9/11.
“Bush did very well after 9/11 and anyone who argues with that is an idiot”
-Bush squandered the international support the US had after the 9/11 attacks, he was an idiot. He wasted time getting into Afghanistan, drumming up support for the unnecessary invasion in Iraq when he should have been going after Bin Laden.
“it shows many people agreed with the iraq war and when it went bad because of the ignorance of the media, people were on a bandwagon to hate bush and the war”
No, it went bad because it was unnecessary and poorly planned.
“silent do good your answer is ignorant because you have only placed opinion with no facts.”
-Oh, and your rant is “all facts”? Citation please!
“People hate George Bush because he was Republican.”
-No, I hate him for the same reason I hate Michael Moore and Sarah Palin, they are all stupid. Sorry, but a C-student isn’t presidential caliber.
Because Bush is republican and that’s why nobody liked him(or mostly importantly hate him). It’s all down to politics. The liberal propaganda worked though(though i don;t like republicans either). You should talk to lots of Europeans in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, non Americans around the world and asked them if they still think Iraq war was for oil, and 50/50 chance they will say yes!
Nope still haven’t seen a drop of oil yet.
