He is a good president (just look at how the Europeans were pleasantly surprised with him recently), but he is drifting way too far to the left and his tax cut was miniscule. We need someone who will make some real change and get our Federal government in the right direction again- down.

No one can say with any degree of certainty that Bush has done a "good" or "bad" job. He's only been in office for 5 months. That's not enough time to judge him with any certainty.
A few observations: As a "CEO", if you will, I think Clinton is a far better manager of the Presidency than Mr. Bush. He put seemed more engaged in the job that Mr. Bush. I think he understood most of the issues in much more detail then Mr. Bush.
If you talk about personal traits, then Mr. Bush does win hands down. That is very important, but it's not the be-all to the presidency, as many Republicans wanted you to believe during the election. And there certainly was no mandate for the Republicans, with a divided election across the board.
I don't think you can really judge a president at all until after at least 2 years of his first term. And most historians, be they liberal or conservative, will tell you it can take up to 30 years to judge the impact of one's presidency, and if it was a good or bad one.
I'm not a fan of Mr. Bush. I think he was a wolf in sheep's skin, passing himself off as this fuzzy "comassionate conservative', when in fact he's as coldly conservative as guys like Tom Delay and Jesse Helms. Yet I'm not ready to say he's either a bad or good leader. He needs more time to put his stamp on the office.

JetService, that was hilarious!
N400QX is in Washington which is a Democratic state anyway so he can write himself in for all I care.
Alpha1 you do raise a good point. If there was a mandate of any kind it would be in favor of the Democrats.
Al Gore won the popular vote and the Democrats picked up 5 Senate seatswhich wasn't brought here in the forums. Also the Democrats picked up more seat in the House. Also the Democrats gained a Governors seat. Bush's little brother had to rig the election for Bush to win.

Superfly, I don't think EITHER party got a mandate. I think the country like a divided government, simply because, in a wierd way, it makes them work harder to get something done, instead of just playing every-day politics.
And yes, Gore won the popular vote, but did in fact lose the election because of the incredible race in Floirda. He may become the first candidate to run two elections in a row since, who? Adalai Stevenson? (major party candidate, that is).

He seems to be doing a good job.
Again I point out that it is really really funny that all of those European countries are bitchin that he pulled out of Kyoto. The only one that has a right to bitch about that is Romania....that is because the are the only ones to actually sign it.
OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.

Its my opinion that americans are a poor judge of character.
Bush is an arrogant man that only cares about power.
i cant really understeand why he was chosen.
perhaps because their was no better choice, cause gore was equally bad.
Bush unfortunately is not the only man who is chosen by dumb people.
take the mayor of Providence for example. that man is a criminal and everybody knows this, but still they vote for him. thats weird you know.
25 JetService: I keep hearing you Euro-folks whine about Bush and Kyoto, but I don't hear one thing about your own countries ratifying it. For the sake of anyone who
26 Alpha 1: JetService: Rumania. The rest apparently are for it, butwill only sign it if the U.S. signs this flawed treaty.
27 Tupolev154B2: The reason why Bush rejected it was because it was ineffective since no countries had signed it. As for rejecting new arsenic standards, who knows...
28 Pilot1113: How come we don't hear you folks complaining that Australia threw out the Kyoto treaty? That was a joke of a treaty. Even the Democrats threw it out.
29 N400QX: >N400QX is in Washington which is a Democratic state anyway so he can write himself in for all I care Yes, you're right... It was 55%-40% in favor of
30 NW-ELITE: He is doing a good job except for the environment.
31 Tupolev154B2: Ignorant conservatives don't even realize that arsenic can kill them. WHO CARES WHO WROTE THEM AND WHEN!!! It is never too late to put in new standard
32 GDB: This treaty stuff is a smokescreen, most EU nations will reach targets for C02 emissions, the UK certainly will, easily. The US, with 4% of the world'
33 JetService: Tupolev, that is why the left gets away with scare tactics, because of simpletons like you. Arsenic kills! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! Read the bill and see what t
34 Tupolev154B2: Don't call me a left-wing. I am a moderate who despises tree-huggers as much as the ultra-right.
35 USAirways737: As long as he doesn't bomb us or get us in a war I'm fine with him being president. Erik
36 Cba: Bush is terrible. His rightist agenda is alienating moderates in the republican party. Bush, Delay and other rightist scum are throwing the whole part
37 JetService: Tupolev, I didn't call you a leftie. I said you were simplistic. And the left can scare you with only half the story.
38 Alpha 1: JetService said: "And the left can scare you with only half the story." ROTFL! And the right can't my friend? They do it all the time. That's definite
39 B757300: I think the real answer is WE DON'T KNOW YET. Lets wait until his term(s) in office are over and then decide.
40 John Edwards: I have some serious questions concerning the perfoirmance of President Bush so far. Particularily on the following issues: 1) Patients Bill of Rights-
41 B757300: Popular vote doesn't matter, only the electoral college counts. Check the Constitution.
42 John Edwards: The constitution also says that everyone should own a gun. Quick fact>>>>>>>>>>>>> -In Japan, they have strict gun laws, and as a result, had no death
43 B757300: Every state gets two Senators, thus two electoral votes. As for the difference in Representatives, it is based on the "Equal Representation clause" Ea
44 John Edwards: Why does a state get electoral votes just for having two senators? They all have two senators, so, again, it's unequal representation by population. W
45 Tupolev154B2: JetService, sorry for the misunderstanding. And no, Bush did not have the mandate of the people. But still, the law is the law and you couldn't change
46 Seb146: At least he has everyone talking about politics instead of antics. I don't feel the US is a laughing-stock anymore.
47 L-188: John Edwards Thank god a Californian is worth a third of what a Wyomingian(???) is. Just look at how screwed up California is? Do we want to rest of t
48 John Edwards: L-188, It is foolish to think that a few examples, such as the subway attack and the school stabbing, show that Japan is just as bad as the U.S., even
49 L-188: It is even more foolish to think that one static from you show how bad the US is..... Who are you really????
50 Cfalk: To those who keep saying that the tax cuts were pro-business, last I heard there have been no tax cuts for businesses - only for individuals. Bush als
51 R.I.P TWA: Personally, I could care less about Bush and his policies. I prefer an ineffective president, and a Grid-locked congress (with the exception of a Libe
52 Cba: Remember, it was Kenneth Starr and his republican scum who made the country a laughing stock. The rest of the world said that they couldn't care less
53 Matt D: To all of you Bush haters out there: If Mr Dubya decided to get some "head" in the Oval Office by a 23 year old, would that solve your problems? Why n
54 Vafi88: Bush is a horrible president, in my opinion atleast.
56 Mark2: Clinton had a heart, whether he had to be blown or not he's far better than this dude.
57 JetService: Clinton had a heart? I guess those photo-ops do fool some people. LMAO!!!!
58 Matt D: Well let's be fair now...he DID have a heart....it pumped the blood straight to his emotional "heart" appendage located at his waistline.
59 Mark2: Well you've got to agree............that "emotional heart" is what makes him a man........lol
60 John Edwards: How does it affect you if two people are having sex? It doesn't. Bill Clinton has rights anyways, and although many think he should have thought twice
61 Matt D: Mr. Edwards: Like most Clinton supporters, you ignored the reason behind the impeachment. Mr Clinton did not get impeached for having sex in the Oval
62 John Edwards: Mr. D: You don't need to tell me that that's the reason why President Clinton was impeached. I'm just saying that he should have never been asked thes
63 JetService: John, please tell me you're smart enough to understand that a very large percentage of those teenage death statistics are padded by gangbangers killin

71 Ben88: I never said it was your fault, but do you have any sense of empathy?
72 L-188: Sure I feel sorry it happened..... but I stopped when she started her "Gun Control" work. Again why am I feeling sorry for a lady that is using her hu
73 Alpha 1: L-188, and that "way of life"-toting a gun around to show us your a man or something, could someday end up costing someone their life-and I'm not talk
74 Kolobokman: Junior (Dubya) is allright..., but I still think Fidel would do a better job, or Mr. bin Laden, or Kolobokman...
75 Matt D: Mr. Brady (backer of all these gun restriction bills) is nothing more than an angry and bitter SOB because he's paralyzed. (he took a bullet when John
76 Mbmbos: Don't you think you're projecting, Matt?
78 Alpha 1: He sounds just like a conservative, to me. With one excpetion-he's learned that guns aren't a good thing. I'd be pretty bitter too if I got shot and i
79 John Edwards: I too would be bitter if I were shot and paralyzed.
80 We're Nuts: Bush is a drunk-driving, crack-snuffing, draft-dodging, liar. So no, he will be gone in 3 years (or less!!).
81 L-188: So he is just like you then We're Nuts. I feel I can say that because you probably know him as well as I do. BTW....Matt D is right on as far as James

84 N312RC: As long as my life doesn't change for 4 years (besides lower taxes), Im happy.

88 SVG: He is terrible a president, probably the worst ever. Europe was NOT impressed by what he said during his trip to Europe recently.
89 Boeing747-400: SVG, He is terrible a president, probably the worst ever. Europe was NOT impressed by what he said during his trip to Europe recently. Not to be rude
90 SVG: Boeing747-400 That is not true. Europe loved Mr. Clinton! He was a great president. Most Europeans can not understand why soo many Americans dislikes
91 Boeing747-400: SVG, They may have liked Clinton, but we have very good reasons not to like him. I don't have much time to type right now, so one word: Liar
