Bush has been cutting taxes and increasing federal spending in an effort to stimulate the economy. Although he may not be the smartest person, he surrounds himself with people that are. Are you familiar with Reagan's policies? Well, his ideology was that he needed to promote economic growth through supply side principles. His methods worked and this is exactly what Bush is doing now. He's not just some person that likes to make Americans suffer, he's trying to appease both parties as shown by his speech 3 days ago.

This is no offense to anyone, but I just don't feel that people actually understand what Bush is doing. Many immediately upbraid him for being an "idiot" when they are not familiar with his policies. As a person that lives in the North Eastern part of the US, I see television shows after television shows subjecting Bush to crude name calling simply because its the fashion. Don't believe everything you see advertised, and research for yourself the effectiveness of our presidents. Half the things we see in this world is propaganda anyway.

since you seem to think bush's policies and **** are right then answer this:

1. why are gas prices sky rocketing after bush gets elected for a second term
2. why did he send poor people to Iraq to fight a war , even though they did nothing to us during (sep. 11)
3. ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS GET RICH BY MAKIN SECRET OIL DEALS (dont answer this)

Do you really think that Bush controls the prices of gas? The Arab company OPEC determines the gas prices,and they determine how many barrels they ship weekly. Bush has no control what so ever in this process. All he can do is hope to have friendly relations with the company. A main factor of the oil crisis is China's skyrocketing economy and demand for oil there. Oil is not abundant, and more demand equals higher prices.

2. Unlike the Vietnam war, there is no draft to force people into going into war. People enroll into the army, and they understand what they might face by doing it. In my opinion, I feel bush went into Iraq mostly for economic gains for this country. If you are familiar with World War I, you would know that Wilson eventually declared war in fear of losing trading partners and an unstable economy. Bush's action to go to war gives the government rights to spend money on army equipment, which will stimulate our economy. He and his economists understand that eventually the funds given to the American war businesses will trickle down to the lower class as seen in Reagan's plan.

I don't agree with many of Bush's policies, but I just get frustrated when people hate him merely because they don't know any better. I would be happy to see criticism, however; please please please at least justify it without "Oh I hate bush, he sucks"

^ exactly, when the twin towers were being attacked, he just sat there. as if nothing even happened. who cares if the kids get freaked out, the president has duties and he need to be more responsible and take charge when bad things are happening to the united states.

yeh anyway arent we all about choice and freedom of choice for everyone so if marijuana was legalized then we would be given them the freedom of choice. also if we legalized it there would be less people using it anyway as there is in holland. so by legalizing it ure doing a better job of stopping people using it than by banning it. Theres always people that will use it but even if it is banned these people will still find a way to do it as theres always cracks in the sysytem. wouldnt it just be better to get it all out on the table where everyone can see it?

Unfortunately, there is not much he could have done in that situation. He is afterall human, at least I am told, and I think he reacted like any human would in that situation. I personally think he acted appropriately. He needed a moment to digest the information and not immediately abandon the children in the middle of his visit. After all, he did indeed leave minutes later.
I'm assuming most of you saw that clip from Michael Moore's crapumentary. I have to agree w/ Zealious on his comment that it is fashionable to hate GWB, usually for the wrong reasons. Like Moore's film, I basically think both sides, and everyone in between, are participating in "extremists attacking extremists". Very few actually take the time to look at the issues for what they're worth. It's just been name-calling and taking sides.
