bush...bad timing or bad prez?

I kinda think both but lead more towards bad timing. I mean at the end of clintons terms the economy although wasnt bad, showed signs that it wasnt great. 9/11 and hurricane katrina hurt like hell, but would any president have done better. (bush was slow in katrina, but the local government didnt help either) and the housing burst wasnt his fault either....like i said i think its about 45% bad prez 55% bad timing. how about you? what do you think

Update:

hold it there buddy bush did not push giving out loans, the dems did

    Bad, very blaming people. Everyone was for the war when since September 11, but now people just want to blame President Bush for all their losses. He has had a good term before that war, it's the people who want someone to blame. He made some mistakes, but non that tons of people didn't back him up on.

    A bad President with bad policies.

    The economy started to take a dive as soon as he was elected.

    People will argue, but you only have to look at the indicators and the numbers from the govt itself to see how rapidly it started to fail under his watch.

    After Enron his only option left was to create a bubble in the real estate market by ordering Freddie an Fannie to approve almost any mortgage request they recieved.

    I don't know anybody that accused him of causing Katrina. The problem was that he appointed unskilled cronies to the departments that should have been planning for just such an emergency. They did no effective planning at all.

    What does come out of Bush and the republicans is blaming everybody else for their own failures.

    It seems that every time the Republicans screw up their first answer is to find somebody else to blame it on.

    It is a truly psychotic behaviour.

    The previous Buccaneers uniforms appeared downright gay, and that i understand "custom" with the Cleveland Browns -- yet they supply the impact of being like a center college crew. yet my all-time worst award is going to the Eagles' throwbacks of very last season. I in actual actuality desire those issues were burned.

    Mix of both. Still better than Gore would have done though.
