The Enigma In Chief

I just love this article..so full of spin and bias...

How nice that in the wake of the worst president leading the worst administration EVER..you're going to give us the cute option..

Was he stupid..OR..was he manipulated..

How about he knew/knows exactly what he was doing and he's a douche-bag.

The media..ignored the whole fake Texas accent (He's from the North Eastern United states actually)
Ignored the fact that he's not stupid..even if he is an idiot, he did graduate from an Ivy league school you know.
He probably went into office with a lot more understanding of what the President's life is like and what a commander in chief has to do than anyone else has..His father was president just 8 years before him..

George W. Bush is not going to get a free pass from me or anyone else who can think and read on the grounds that he's stupid or manipulated..I'll save those names for those who voted for the guy.

I agree that Bush will go down as one of the worst Presidents in history. He made the worst decision by entering the war in Iraq. We as a nation have paid for this in American lives. No matter what you say this was an avoidable war with an unknown Bush agenda behind it. We as a nation may never know really why we are at war.

THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT AND OUR GREAT AND WONDERFUL BRAVE SOLDIERS. Comments
In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and, North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. Thankfully after 9/11 President Bush and our Great Soldiers have prevented another attack on American soil by taking the war back to SADDAM,THE GODFATHER OF ISLAMIC STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM.

Those of us that love American and the freedom that we have can never thank you enough!!!!! More truth at: http://www.commandments.us No matter how many peaceful Muslims there may be, they are no protection from the Terrorist Muslim leaders and what they are fanatically bent on doing -- by their own pronouncements -- killing all of us "infidels." I don't blame the peaceful Muslims. What would you do if the choice was shut up or die? So who are we at war with? There is no way we can honestly respond that it is anyone other than the Muslim terrorists.

Trying to be politically correct and avoid verbalizing this conclusion can well be fatal. There is no way to win if you don't clearly recognize and articulate who you are fighting. We can definitely lose this war, and as anomalous as it may sound, the major reason we can lose is that so many of us simply do not fathom the answer to the second question: What does losing mean? It would appear that a great many of us think that losing the war means hanging our heads, bringing the troops home and going on about our business, like post Vietnam. This is as far from the truth as one can get. What losing really means is: We would no longer be the premier country in the world. The attacks will not subside, but rather will steadily increase. Remember, they want us dead, not just quiet. If they had just wanted us quiet, they would not have produced an increasing series of attacks against us over the past 18 years. The plan is clearly for terrorists to attack us, until we are neutered and submissive to them, If we lose the war, our production, income, exports and way of life will all vanish as we know it. The Muslims fully know what is riding on this war, and therefore are completely committed to winning, at any cost. We'd better know it too!!

Bush was the worst president in the history of presidents. There is only one thing worse than a blatent incpmpetant & that is an arrogant blaent incompetant. Your article failed to mention the following: 1) He surrounded hiumself with arrogant blatents incompetants (Cheny, Bumsfeld & Brown (FEMA). Then he stood by them as they sank their ships. 2) A group of high schoolers could have managed Katrina better 3) He oversaw the largest transfrer of wealth from one group to another in the hsitory of the earth. He allowed the corporate thieves to run rampant. They robbed us all & then hid behind his coat tails. The big boys (from Enron to Big OIL) raped & pillaged us all & totally trashed the economy while Bush stood by & watched. 4) He destroyed our image in the world. In summary, it is shocking that one single human being could do so much damage in eight years. I hope the second most dangerous human being on the planet (Bush) doesn't let the door smack him in the ass on his way out of our lives. The single thing I ask of Bush is to be sure to take the single most dangerous human on the planet (Cheney) with him when he leaves. GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!

Saddam had to go and there were no ifs, when and what on that subject and Bush the moderate Texan who became polarized in Washington because of Cheney, and his father may have made that decision. He did hear and brought people from Texas, but he did not bring the good moral character executives, he brought with him greedy politicians and attorneys, so the mess. Cheney the person who was to find a VP candidate installed himself in that position.
Saddam, if was not pressured or was not removed could have easily bought a bomb from Pakistan, could have established back labs and produce chemicals that he used against Iran and his own people through chemical Ali. He possibly destroyed some WMD???s or they still could be buried some place. So decision of Saddam has to go was not wrong.

What went wrong is not studying Muslim culture and let other Muslim take over in orderly manner when Saddam was defeated. In this case, say if he had prepared Saddam's sons to rule or Saudi Arabia's king's or Iran's Ayatollah???s or Egypt's prince relatives or Turkish's repressed Muslim etc. in Iraq to rule (other Muslim), things would not have taken trillion dollar or 4000 American lives, but in such case how Cheney's cronies and Karl Rove's favorites would have made Billions? Did you know how much Black Water and Halliburton and their subsidiaries and companies made and how their executives took advantage of loop holes and uncontested contracts. Also how much Carlyle and Baines equity groups have profited and made money under Bush Administration by providing equity and bank rolling the corrupts involved in War Crimes by being contractors? At minimum 4 Trillion dollar has gone out of American economy and more then half of it has left country through these cronies and needs to be studied. Bush as an individual was brought up good by nice mother and father but was ruled and manipulated in Washington DC and these corrupt people in his administration made it a point to hurt people like me who helped in Texas. All the good advise and open communication that was sent good to President Bush or First Lady was screened by these crooks appointees and such advise did not reach him, his open doors were only for Cheney???s cronies, even Condi Rice had to go through line for a while before she could have direct contact. These people threw Collin Powell out and We fight war with what we have not what we need kept any financial boom within country as no investment made or purchases done from manufacturing community of the country. Even largest contracts were given to all out of country companies to keep British and other countries to support the country. Bush was kept from being told that Muslim and Pashto customs, religion and life styles need to be studied and decisions need to be based on that, but because they wanted to rule and profit from it, they did not do this to this date and kept such information from George W Bush as well as George H. W. Bush and his whole family and gr

Sonny Down Town...nice rhetoric. Your bass-ackwards thinking is actually quite funny....and way off-base. He never lied to us about invading Iraq. If I recall correctly, he went after Osama. He didn't drive our economy into the ground. That award would go to Bill Clinton. Least we not forget the Congress has been under Democratic rule since 2004 and has since had a worst favorable opinion than the President. They have become the most inept Congress in history. The Katrina fiasco was the fault of their state government and Mayor Nagal, not the federal government. And what makes you think there will actually be peace in the Middle East? Israel and the surrounding Islamic countries will wage war with each other, regardless of any peace treaty that is signed. They have been for as long as I can remember. Read the history books, you might get educated on this subject.
The first election was one by him fair and square. Let's not forget Gore lost his OWN state. In fact, if he would have one Tennessee, the hanging chad debate wouldn't even be one. The second term was one by Bush not because of some legislation in the South, but because Kerry lied about his record. Global warming? Are you kidding me? As much as there is out there on global warming, there's as much evidence that proves it doesn't exist.
If you would have not talked so much out of your ass and more out of your mouth, you might have made a point. But by belittling, you did nothing but make yourself out to be an idiot.

In future history books, Bush will be labelled as the worst president ever. He will be the historical example of what happends when a religious nut-case runs our country. His representation of Republican ideals combined with his far-right religious beliefs will lead to sweeping changes in his own party if they ever hope to challenge Democrats again. Banning abortion and gay marriage, "trickle down" economics, military strength before diplomacy, budgets cuts nearly everywhere (except for the military and nuclear programs), dependance on non-renewable resources, destruction of the environment, abstinence only funding - these and many others are all conservative ideas that DO NOT work in a modern day society.

America has been and will continue to be passed by foreign countries in important fields such as education and quality of life. Countries with higher taxes and bigger budgets (except for military), legalized abortions and gay marriage, and less dependance on foreign oil. Until Americans get their heads out of the sand and realize that the old, conservative ways of doing things don't work anymore, American will continue to slide further and further out of the world status it used to enjoy (before Bush took over).

Well all i have to say is.. Bush has done a wonderful job of paying as much attention to his pocket book, his lobbyist etc. i think bush had partial reasons for going to war ( war on terror and perfect opportunity for him to pad the pockets of his behind close doors investments in oil refinering and service equipemnt.) That for some reason nobody wants to talk about. I belive the war gave him a reason to look like a hero as well as make a hell of a lot of money doing so. Lets not for get hurricane Katrina.. I would think that you would move with as much aggression to help people in your own country as you damn near jumped over the desk and put on armor yourself to go to war in Iraq. All I'm sayin is that one thing is clear about bush and his administration you can clearly look back and see what was most important to Bush and unfortunately the hard truth is, its was us everyday middle class working people that got overlooked during Bush terms in office.Now on the other hand the (already wealthy lobbyist) Will never complain.Why would they there is no reason for them too. Why is it so hard for Republicans to admit that Bush jacked up 90% of his term in office. That is clear as having 20/20. Now if you dont' see that you are one of those that is bias. Now i said all that to say ( I voted for Bush)!!!!! And on every issue I was looking for a reason to keep hope alive with the Bush administration and on every hand I was let down..Its sad that I have to say I'm glad hes out of office now ( The very man I help put in office) WOW!!!!!

I have to take issue with people saying "George Bush held off another major Terrorist attack on US soil for nearly eight years". If "W" had paid attention to the intelligence reports presented to his administration in the first place, we would have NOT suffered the 911 attacks on America to begin with. Bush will go down in history definately as the worst President to have ever served in that capacity. Some of those commenting on Obama, I must say to them, that I DO NOT care what color a man's skin is. What is important is that he performs his job and leads his life in a manner that is good for his country, his fellow man, and his family. George Bush was not and did not live up to any of these standards. I find this courious coming from a man that represents a party that is supposidly moral. THANK GOODNESS HE IS GONE!!

A man who shows off over $450,000 of new White House china as one of his las public acts can't possibly be out of touch with the American people.

George W. Bush is the worst president in my life time, and I well remember Richard M. Nixon.

I was amazed how Bush was even elected president, even at the 2nd round! People all over the world were wondering why John Kerry didn't become the president then with all the obviously bad decisions Bush had made in his 1st term. The people of Europe and Asia are really happy that finally Bush is not the president of US anymore. He was nothing but a sham! There was never a peaceful 8 years during his terms. The world's econoy collapse due to his incompetency. Likewise for the Bush admninistration. Somehow, a lot of manipulation that led from one bad decision to another. Job losses are happening all over the world due to the financial crisis, first began in US and spread like a domino rally to the rest of the world. I'm not trying to specify about any country being a superpower, I believe in global effect. And for once, I have finally get to experience the Americans choose their president wisely this time, and I really pray that they continue to do so in many US presidential terms to come. No president like Bush anymore, please! Bush and the rest of his administration should stand in trial with all the bad decisions they have manipulated the rest of the world to follow! .
