Why do some people think that bush protected America?
lat time I checked, Bush allowed 9/11 to happen. Bush got a warning from government officials that said," Bin Ladin determined to strike america using airplanes. and he ignored it. he let the largest attack on american soil ever just happen, even though he had been warned, and used it as an oppurtunity to make some money by going to war.

look up military industrial complex.
dick cheney made money by starting the war in Iraq. Has anyone ever heard of Halliburton? Bush's cronies pushed war, and he obliged. how did his actions help america in any way?
@Obama who is not a socialist, but I wish he were: Bush didn't even make it a year before he let America get attacked. He was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and any person who can look at it objectively would quickly realize that.
@RT: no, once again Bush is probably responsinble for that too, seeing as it was the strin and fear of having to go to war that caused that man to snap. there were 100 suicides at ft.hood last year. probably directly resu;ting from the stress of the sodiers who have to fight in 2 totally bogus wars. yet anothher example of bush not protecting america, but actually causing it's demise.

Dick Cheney has stock in Haliburton to this day. he made money from this war. case closed, please check the real facts and not the ones the conservative media feeds you.
@chsh: I do remember that, and it was decided the contact from sudan who offered Bin Laden was not official. he was a con man looking to scam america. please cease with the spreading of the lies. it is damaging to america

Only disingenuous people believe that... Last time I checked 9-11 happened on Bush's watch. Bush put America as the target no 1 for all crazies the world over. Bush as you and I know was un unmitigated disaster. He was the WORST President ever to sit in the Oval Office. I am glad that his type will NEVER EVER be in charge of this nation again.

It will be our grandchildren who finally find out the truth, someday after all of us are gone.
Bush wasn't even well liked in Texas when he was Governor, and there were a lot of Texans who were mystified that America wanted him as a President. The media likes to portray the South as being staunchly pro-Bush when it is not.
I have never been so upset about foreign policy as I was in the Bush Years. Now, thank God, we have a smart man who can handle the office.

Blame 9-11 on President Clintons massive funds decrease in intelligence months past, and Al Gores frivolous 9 month regulation sutis. France, Israel, the united kingdom...etc warned bill Clinton for an prolonged time past Osama Bin weighted down replaced into as much as no stable.

Like you said, "9/11 happened on Bush's watch."
If Bush--or Cheney--were ever serious about tackling the issue of terrorism, they would've been paying closer attention to President Clinton's previous warnings about Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

Obama didn't cause the recession Maverick.... He was handed a country in despair, a country put in ruins by Bush and his oil companies making $40B a year in profit while Americans were being forced out of their homes and racking up more debt... 9/11 made gas stations price gouge up to $7 a gallon and that began an era of oil companies pushing us day by day by raising their prices to see when we'd fold... and they didn't attack us on 9/11 b/c of Obama, ya noob....
bush also helped bin laden flee the US the day of the bombing... he was here and they escorted him and his family out while every other US flight was canceled... see fahrenheit 9/11 for that exact reference...
did you know bush's daughter's wedding cost $400,000?... people were living in their cars... while the rising cost in energy which bush profited from is largely to blame, so is the housing meltdown, which wasn't necessarily bush's fault it happened but his fault for not doing anything about it before it became too late...
a disaster of that proportion is known years in advance...
and BKP, a father is supposed to pay for his daughter's wedding out of his own pocket... obama's inauguration bill is a tax i'll happily pay... my point was that Bush spent lavishly the earnings he made from oil profits that oil companies he was invested in gouged Americans at the pump and sent them to the poorhouse... regardless of whether or not he paid for it himself, it's still an irresponsible and insensitive spending of money...

So Mr Bush allowed 9/11 to happen 8 months into his presidency But Mr Obama is still working on his inherited mess 10 month into his presidency?
Do you have any proof to back up you last statement or are we too take your word for it? Is it a I have spoken thing?

Because they are one or more of the following:
1) Uninformed
2) Uneducated
3) Stupid
4) Psychotic
5) Delusional
6) Ignorant
Pick one or more and you'll have yourself a typical Bush supporter!

Bush tried to bring back the unity and family values and america has bypassed that years ago

Bush is the best terrorist recruiting tool there ever was. By attacking entire countries for something a few renegados did they created many more would be terrorists that saw US attacks as attacks on their countries, culture, faith etc.
Thanks Bush!

why are these people comparing the economy with 911...that's apples to oranges. did bush have intelligence on 911....yes, he did. did obama take action regarding the economy..yes he did..and the cons are still angry about it.
