The Enigma In Chief

How can anyone of else judge the job of any president based on reporting of the media? As a common citizen, we have no idea of what goes on behind closed doors, and frankly I believe that if the American citizens knew some of what really happens, this country would be in an even bigger state of panic. Economic problems do not start overnight, and this current economic crisis can be partly linked to the policies set forth under the Clinton administration. The man (Bush) has his faults, but I for one am glad he was President during this time in our history. He made tough decisions, some of them have proven to be wrong, but at least he had the guts to make them at the time they needed to be made. He was not a perfect president, none of them have been, but the future will tell the whole story on what has happened over the last eight years. Until the entire book is written, we should withhold our judgement.

Typical Newsweek/US News/NY Times trash; One phrase of fact, then a paragraph of opinion. One verifiable fact, and then 'othr experts' (always unnamed) give several contravening opinions. It's not news; it's a FOR-PROFIT OPINION PURVEYING BUSINESS. Joseph Goebels would be proud of you guys!

Truly ignorance has played a role in the minds of Americans across this great nation. Not only has it been the cool thing to hate Bush but people also neglect to see the background view rather than the one the media has spun for them. Bush may have had mistakes but he has owned up to them. When looking at him though you can see he has done more for Africa than any other nation or President of the U.S. with the billions he sent in AIDS support as well as the dramatic relief he gave as far as reducing Malaria by a rough estimate of 70%. You can also see the tax break he gave on stocks to encourage people to invest more after the fall of silicon valley. Or perhaps we can see the tax breaks he gave to tax payers that Obama plans to NOT renew in 2010. You can also note that Bush began to investigate the negligence of loan companies before being persuaded by a few democrats to discontinue his investigation. (I forget the names at this point.) Before a person says Bush was all wrong, perhaps we should see him for the good he has done and the tough decisions he truly did have to face. Either way he did not turn his back. He faced them for us. Show some appreciation and perhaps do not skew your view by what is "hip" to think these days.

I cannot think of anyone else I would have wanted in the White House during the last eight years.

President Bush has the support of the people, not the incredibly liberal media.

It is so sad to see America blame one person, and one person only, for where our country is going. Did President Bush. Americans blame Bush for the bad economy. Did Bush force thousands of people to buy homes they couldn't afford? Did he tell CEOs of mult-million dollar companies to waste their resources and mismanage millions and millions of dollars? Did he tell big firms to rip people off? Did he have anything to do with people making bad investmentts in the stock market? All these are decesions are ours, and out of of his control, yet we insist on blaming one person for our own mistakes. I'm sorry but the economy is bad because WE made mistakes. But I guess it's easier to find one person to blame, but NOT ourselves, righ?

A seriously flawed piece of editoralizing not journalism here.

A slanted and seriously flawed piece of editoralizing, not journalism.

It is interesting that the media is saying President Bush will be remembered as a loser. We have not been attacked since 9/11; the democrates, with their free money polices...starting with Carter and expanded by Clinton dug the hole we are currently in. The fun part is that now that they are in power they have to figure out how to pull the country out of this mess they created. I don't think any of them have a clue as to how to turn things around. I did not vote for Obama, but I am rooting for him that he will be strong enough to withstand the leftest onslaught against the great country...USA. President Bush did what he thought would keep this country safe and succeeded. We will now see what the democrates that have done nothing for the over two years they have held a majority in congress will do? They can point their fingers all they want but the plate of problems, piled high, is on their table and if I were President Bush I would retire to Texas and enjoy the show. I don't think he gives a damm about public opinion. He has done his job with little no help from either party as they mainly filled their and their friends pockets with taxpayer money and continue to do so. I am a twice retired executive of two fortune 100 companies and I have yet to see the tranparent view of those taking taxpayer money, or congress knowing where it went. I think those taking the handouts are a lot smarter than those doling out the money. If things were truely tranparent we would know how our money is being spent, the results of same and how much of it ended back int he PAC of those running for office again and again and again to stay in power.

I think until we know all of the truth we can't seat here and judge. Only histoty will tell. As for Obama let's not give him a free pass on mistakes becuse he is black or democarat. We should hold him tio the same standard as we did with Bush.
Saddly that's not going to happen.

The argument that Bush and his associates lied to us is ridiculous. Everyone thought he had WMD including Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Hillary, and the rest of the world. It wasn't until we were actually there they we found out he didn't. Then people changed their minds. To late to pull out and let the radicals take over with millions dying. He made the righ call.
