Regardless of any disagreement with Bush and his policy...

[IndianaJones]

do you think he is a decent person that has our countries best interest at heart?

[Solly Mack]

1. N to the fucking O

[Avalux]

2. NO. I think he is a selfish, greedy snotty little boy and doesn't give a shit about any of us.

Every action he's ever taken, every speech he's ever given proves it. :grr:

[sinkingfeeling]

3. No, I do not. From the first time I saw him running for Governor of Texas, I thought he was

a smart-ass, spoiled, lying brat, that believes the world belongs to him and his 'rich' friends.

[nancyr]

4. Are you joking?

[TokenWasp]

5. Having known people who have had

face-to-face mettings with him, yes.

But intention can't make up for incompetence.

[leftofthedial]

6. of course not

he is the criminal, thuggish spawn of a clan of thuggish criminals.

they have committed treason in order to enrich themselves and their friends for generations.

he is an utterly amoral sociopath.

[redqueen]

7. I heard he was pretty much like everybody else,

possessed of the same mix of virtues and vices, insecurities and long-buried injuries, as the rest of us.

So... yeah?

[IndianaJones]

8. all else aside, is he a bad guy, or just misunderstood? nt.

[redqueen]

10. Well IMO he's a bad guy.

Why?

- Tax cuts for the rich while more families fall into poverty.
- Lied to start an unnecessary war of aggression. Won't stop lying in order to continue the occupation.
- Helps his energy, oil & war profiteering cronies soak this country and loot the treasury.
- Ignored the plight of NOLA, and even went so far as to go out and have a good ole time as the catastrophe happened.


Should I keep going?

[IndianaJones]

11. I hear you. nt.

[Mass]

9. What he perceives as our country, the to .5 % of it, yes. He does not even understand the rest does

exist.

[John1956PA]

12. No. He always sought the benefits granted to him by the power elite.

I am a bit cloudy on the details, but we all know the stories. He was a pseudo-businessman who helped himself to the financial gains which the big-money players showered upon him. He was allowed to cash out of his phony oil company before the stock tanked. The government investigators (probably bought off) did not press inside-trading charges. He then put up little of his own money but was granted a substantial share in the consortium which bought the professional baseball team. He cashed out of that venture with a healthy gain after another group paid a premium price for the team. I believe one of the individual of the buying group owned an investment firm which raked in big money when Bush afterward became the governor of Texas and steered a state-employees pension fund to said investment firm. Everything he has done as president convinces me that his first concern is rewarding the big-money contributors which have propelled him this far. The Iraq invasion was championed by his big-money contributors who saw in it the opportunity to make giant profits on government contracts. I fear the prospect of having another Rethug president with the same disregard of the peoples' interests.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

13. He is a sociopath

and, as such, has no one's interests at heart except his own. I think his mental illness was brought on by a combination of drug/alcohol abuse, genetics, and the way he was raised.

[robbedvoter]

14. And, don't forget, "efficient" - it's what Obama called him in the debate

Attacking Bush vs prasing reagan - hmmm- who should I pick now?

[ladjf]

15. You have got to be kidding?

[bigwillq]

16. NO!

No. No. No. No.

[ProSense]

17. Bush has charm and charisma

(AP) Asked to say one nice thing about President Bush, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton went one better: She named two things.

"He is someone who has a lot of charm and charisma, and I think in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, I was very grateful to him for his support for New York," Clinton said Tuesday night during a talk at the National Archives about her life in politics.

Clinton, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, said that despite their "many disagreements about many, many issues," she has always had a good personal relationship with the president.

"He's been very willing to talk. He's been affable. He's been good company," said Clinton, D-N.Y.
