im not sure what to title this thread but I have to voice a spinoff topic..
George Bush is the leader of this country.
Obviously the majority of the pple voted him into office.
With that being said..he is in charge...
there is nothing we can do to change that until his term is up.
I really dislike when americans bash the president mainly b/c if we dont respect the man WE VOTED IN CHARGE and stand behind him in the decisions he makes (whether we agree or not) THEN WHY SHOULD ANY OTHER COUNTRY RESPECT HIM OR US AS A WHOLE....
just my 2 cents on a topic that really bugs me...
Posted by muchinluvmichiPosted by LFitzy79
I just want to go on record as saying that I think history will show that Bush did a really good job of protecting this country post 911. A lot of American's disagreed with the invasion of Afganistan, a lot more disagree with the war in Iraq...but I think that in these times, if you're not on offense, then you're on defense...and I'm glad that he'd played offense these last 5 years.
I may not like his policies on stem cell issues, gay right to marriage, or abortion, but I do respect the fact that he's not afraid to be politically incorrect. I think that he'd rather take the heat and step on toes then wait to get attacked.
I didn't mean to hijack the thread, jmho...
100% Agreed! There were so many situations when Clinton was in the presidency when things were brushed aside such as the Embassy bombings and the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole. He didn't take the right actions for these situations. Bush has, by going in there and fighting. Good for him for not being PC.
You may not have to support all of President Bushs policies, however why should we not be in the Middle East fighting terriroism?? Are you all saying we should just let 9/11 go without a fight? Once and for all lets show them that we are a strong country that we won't back down. That's what these terriorts want for us to give up and go home.
How many of you would back down if some one broke into your house an threated your family and home, you would take a stand againts them, right?! Well America is our home, and I support this fight.

I'll tell you what he didn't do. He didn't run head first, guns blazing into a war with a country that had nothing to do with it. He didn't have over 2,500 troops sent home in bodybags. Just because you think he didn't do anything, doesn't mean he didn't. By the way, he gathered all the information he could and passed it on to Bush before he took office. What did Bush do? He ignored it and went about setting his own agenda.
who cares what he "didnt do?"
I didn't run anybody over today. Congrats to me!
Tell me what he DID do. oh thats right. Squatola. Played the saxaphone nnd put cigars up Monica's va jay jay!
he completely made us look like a bunch of cowards and left us susecptable to any kind of threat!!!!!!!
feb 1993 WTC bombed - clinton did nothing
oct 1993 troops killed in somalia...an america corpse was dragged through the streets of Mogadishuas the hordes cheered...what did clinton do? sent our troops home
nov 1995 5 americans killed and many wounded in a car bomb in saudi arabia - clinton did nothing
june 1996 us air force houseing complex in saudi arabia bombed by muslim extrmemists..clinton did nothing
months later saddam attached the city of Erbil - Clinton thre a bomd hundreds of miles away from his target
nov 1997 iraq refused to allow un weapons inspectors to do their job and threatened to shoot down a u-2 plane- clinton did notinng
feb 1998- clinton threatened to bomb iraq but stopped becuase the UN said no
aug 1998 us embassies in kenya and Tanzania were bombed by muslim extremists. Clinton did nothing
oct 2000 - warship attached by Muslim extremists- Clinton did nothing
shall i go on???

Should we ignore 9/11? Absolutely not! However, we should go after the people responsible. Hussein had nothing to do with it, and, that is a fact. Bush knew this and, instead, of putting all his resources into tracking down Bin Laden, he decides to invade a country that was not involved. The bottom line is that he is a poor excuse for a president, politically correct or not.

I so agree. The main culprit is Bin Ladin not Sadam Hussein. So IMO Bush has not accomplish anything.

Re: Bush Comments/Spinoff to Terrorist thread
um yeah...I don't really wanna go here because I don't think this is the place for such an ubersensitive topic, but I didn't vote for him either and there are a lot of people who didn't. Unfortunately, just enough did so he is "in charge" but that doesn't mean we have to like it and keep quiet about it. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHO IS IN CHARGE, GET YOUR AZZ OUT AND VOTE NEXT TIME!

Because a grea tthing about this country that was here before Bush (and with a small miracle) will be here after Bush is the freedom of Dissent.
King George was the leader of the colonies and I understand he was not elected (neither was bush in '00), but if everyone said "Well he's our leader, we need to respect him, and we can never speak out against him" then we would all be speaking the Queen's english right now and riding on the left hand side of the road  . Actually we'd be paying taxes without representation in parliament and still be used as a resource and drained of our own resources.
One of the greatest things is that we have the power to speak our minds, complain, be open, and urge our legislature to impeach.
And until Jan 20, 2009, I will exercise my right to say that I don';t support Bush as president
BOO YAH!

Re: Bush Comments/Spinoff to Terrorist thread
Also, maybe discussions like this will help people get involved who were not previously involved. maybe people will hear or see these debates and form an opinion one way or another and VOTE next time. What's really shameful about what the world can see about Americans is that so few of us actually vote in the free elections we put so uch stake in

Re: Bush Comments/Spinoff to Terrorist thread

I agree it doesn't make us look like a united country when we do not stand behind our leader. Good or bad. It makes us look weak to other countries. Yes we have freedom of speach but that doesnt mean that what we speak of does not make other countries look with respect. How many other countries would allow their people to bash their leader?
Just because we don't hear about it does not mean that other countries are unified in supporting their leaders. I have family and friends throughout Europe and have had a close up look at some of the politics there and peoples' real opinions. Our country is just overly publicized and therefore we are made to look like we are the only ones who don't all agree with our government. If you think everyone in every other country backs their government, then you are missing something. There are many other reasons why other people in other countries don't like us, and I think our current president has a little something to do with it. So maybe if people realize we DO NOT back our president , they might have MORE respect for us.

Re: Bush Comments/Spinoff to Terrorist thread
"Didn't bomb the piss out of countries not even invovled in the attacks"
and
"didn't do anything" are not the same thing.
I was for the most part too young to really understnad what was going on During Clinton's early Presidency (93 WTC attacks, etc) but I don't think the war in iraq is a better solution by any means

I agree. Also, why did Bush launched an attack on Iraq when in fact they did not have anything to do with Sept.11? Um, maybe because he wanted to finish a beef that his dad started a wile ago.

Re: Bush Comments/Spinoff to Terrorist thread
Posted by leese
I'm not sure if this is what the OP meant but this is how I feel:
No matter whether I believe in the President or not, I hold the OFFICE of the Presidency in high regard. It is our duty as Americans to yes, question the government, to plead our cases to the government, to call out when things appear wrong in the government and most importantly, to vote for the government.
Unfortunately, we have a low voter turnout and many people fail to get involved in discussions, learn more about candidates and vote for the person that alligns with most of their beliefs.
I will judge this President in the end, just as I judged Bill Clinton. I also will say that problems in our world did not start on 9/11, but rather there has been problems dating back .... well, for as long as we have been alive. To blame this one person as the reason for these things is not fair.
As for supporting, just because I may not agree, vote, or support politically Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton or George Bush, I went to the ballot box and I voted. And I can rest easy that I made my opinion known. I will still support the Senator of my state, even if I don't agree. And I will still support the President, even if I don't agree with him or her. I will support their POSITION, even if I don't support them.
If you agree/disagree with the way we do presidential elections, then stand up and push for a change. To say someonoe wasn't elected truly in 2000 is false because indeed he was, whether it wast with the "popular" vote or not.
well put...I must say though, although some may, I do not solely blame Bush for our current troubles.

I think if Bush could just learn how to speak, half the stuff he says wouldn't come out as dumb as it sounds. I've learned the correct way to pronounce 'nuclear' (I have said it his way for years, but thanks to him, have seen the light), I would think he could. I'm convinced if you gave Cheney and Bush the same speech, Cheney would say it with more conviction and without a stupid smirk on his face.
OMG you nailed it on the head!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Bush Comments/Spinoff to Terrorist thread
I agree!!!!
It's nice to see some people out there who see the COMPLETE MESS Clinton made in office.
As long as there is at least just one soilder coming home saying he supports President Bush then I am for all of this....And I know many soliders who support all this.
I'm not saying that President Bush should be put up there with the best...a President Lincoln he is not. However, I'll talk a a president who takes action over a president who spends his time getting action anyday.
