Why do people say George Bush was such a bad President?

Because he was republican.

He lied to us to start a war in Iraq we never should have had.

He cut taxes, primarily for the wealthy, in a time of war, which had never been done before.

The lower taxes led us to a horrible recession that almost ruined our country.

He didn't prevent 9/11 even though he had many warnings.

He rolled back environmental protections.

He made our country a laughing stock to the rest of the world, making us look like idiots.

He rescinded all of the laws put in place by Clinton that would have forced automakers to make modest improvements to emissions and mileage.

He set the record for most vacation days taken by a president - even in time of war.

When Hurricane Katrina hit, he didn't cut his vacation short even as 1000s were homeless and in need of immediate government action.

Bush's educational policy, "No child left behind" has destroyed the education of a generation, and those effects will be felt for decades to come.

Bush appointed his good buddies to top government positions without any thought as to whether they could actually do the job. The most spectacular failure was his appointment to the head of FEMA whose total job experience was running a small horse show...badly.

Finally there's all the other stuff Bush just didn't pay attention to, nor do anything about. He came into office with the largest surplus in US history, and left us with our largest deficit. His appointees in the economic sector totally ignored growing problems with the banks, and unemployment which finally blew up during Bush's final months in office.

Do you need more?

Liberals only sit back and remember all of the bad things he did. They never will sit back and think about all the good things he did for the 8 years he was a president. Now with Obama in office, they sit back and ignore everything and just give Obama credit for the good things that do happen....

Bottom line; liberals are hypocrites and confused little kids.

Bush inherited a balanced budget and a mild recession and left us with trillion dollar deficits and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Then there was the failure to catch bin Laden while twisting the War on Terror into excuse to invade Iraq, based on trumped intelligence about nonexistant WMDs. Bush had grand plans and a poor ability to execute, leaving our country in the big mess Obama inherited in January 2009.

To be honest, I've never loved Bush. The only things he had going for him was name recognition and a conservative media machine riding high from anti-establishment sentiments during the Clinton years.

Sent the military to fight two expensive wars while cutting taxes at the same time. Allowed housing prices to skyrocket because of no regulation so lenders made loans to people who shouldn't have got them resulting in a recession when the house of cards fell down.

A group of mixed (liberal and conservative) historians ranks Bush Jr. as Number 34 out of 43. The only one worse in the past 100 years was Warren Harding. Harding has the distinction of being the absolute worst finally beating out Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce and James Buchannan.

By comparison, They rank Barack Obama at 14th.

they falsely blame him for Clinton's major policy errors.

1. Clinton started the "National Home Ownership Strategy" [google for it] which, according to one recently published summary directly cased the subprime mortgage mess, the bubble in home prices and resulting collapse, and the selling and reselling of pieces of those loans. Backup provided by multiple published sources. These programs were later protected by effective threat of filibuster by Democrats in the Senate, despite multiple requests by President Bush to reign in excesses [see his State of the Union speeches for verification of this].

2. 9/11 terrorists entered the US and began training while Clinton was President. His Attorney General prevented the CIA from telling the FBI what it knew about these people.

gas went from $1.30/ gallon to $5/gallon, crashing the economy

bush used 9/11 as a reason to get saddam hussein, a personal vandeta, NO WMD were found

he basically got hussein just to show is daddy he could do it

hell, i think that and high gas prices were his motives for becoming president

that and flying around on air force 1

That is just liberal propaganda.

They say every Republican president was a bad president.

All Republicans are 'evil'.

All conservatives are stupid.

All liberals are wonderful, kind and loving people.

All liberals are super smart.

These are the most common stereotypes.

Just watch this site and you will see all the ***** things the liberals like to think up.

They don't seem to be able to think for themselves without a stereotype to follow.

Apart from being a sub-normal retard ridiculed all over the world for his inability to string a coherent sentence together he started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Pushed through tax cuts that the country couldn't afford that mainly helped rich people get even richer.

Told a bunch of lies to justify a war with Iraq for NO REAL reason; and refused to deal with the consequences (saving US troops' lives and limbs by outfitting them with life-saving armor; fomenting civil war, leading to the deaths of millions of innocent Iraqi's).

Gutted essential government services, such as making sure toys don't kill or maim the children who play with them; cost seniors most of their expendable income with horrific changes to medicare, including forbidding the program from negotiating for cheaper drugs.

Was allergic to all criticism, frequently saying that anyone who disagreed with his was a terrorist who hates America; had people imprisoned merely for disagreeing with him peacefully.

Rolled back environmental protections.

Instituted a policy of torture.

Committed treason by outting a secret operative as political payback.

Alienated our allies.

These are just a very few of the reasons all thinking people hate him.

Well you can form a question and write and talk normally, he found this difficult and was elected the first time under more legal actions the any other.
