What Has George W. Bush Done Wrong?
I know this is a bit off topic but I really want to know. Normally I tend to stay pretty neutral on topics like politics and religion but, for me, this has been a burning question for quite some time. Can someone provide me with specific, and documented, examples of what exactly you feel George W. Bush has done wrong during his term as President of these United States.
This is a sincere question. In light of the poor economy that GWB walked into at the beginning of his term and how the economy is now, 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq, I want to know the details and the reasons that his approval rating is so low. GWB has went from the highest approval rating (90%) of any president, following the 9/11 attacks, to being tied with Jimmy Carter and having one of the lowest in history, at 28%, according MSNBC. The only President to have a lower "end of term" rating was Nixon at a reported 24%.
I realize that there is a growing division between liberals and conservatives and the issues that divide them seem to be based on morality issues. I can say one thing for sure (this may get me in trouble), and no one can argue to the contrary, that over the last 30 years we have seen a sharp decline in societal morality. I do understand the opposing argument; through whose eyes do we measure or gauge morality.
What do you think about GWB as a man vs. your thoughts of him as the President? Who, in your opinion, was the best President?
Again I know this is not a typical post on the Big Bald Blog, and I have probably opened a HUGE can of worms, but I do want to know what YOU think about all this.
Let me know your comments.

I believe that if morality is measured through anyone's eyes other than God then it is flawed. How do we know what God's measure of morality is? Look in the bible - it is chock full - a lifetime of reading with all the morality you need to base your life on. Check out Colossians 3.
Then it is moral not because it is right (in and of itself), but only because God says it is right?
Thanks for the comments guys. But the bigger question of what he has done wrong has yet to be answered.
The real question is what has he done right? Not much as far as I can tell.
OK Jeff. But give me some examples of what he has done wrong. I am not trying to be inflammatory here, I just want to know.
How many of you have seen the movie - "Who Killed the Electric Car"?
I agree, I don't know why everyone is like "I hate george bush!"
It must be pretty hard to run a huge country, and he hasn't done anything actually WRONG.
And people say 'what has he done right?'
HES RUNNING THE COUNTRY,
ha, i can agree with some people
when i ask some people who say that they hate george bush, they dont rreally have a reason
they just go with other people say
imagine having to run a country all by urself
he decided to start the war,
and now so many americans have to owe money because HE decided to sent troops to iraq.
raised prices for gas and everything is more expensive now a days. it is pretty difficult to run a country but to make drastic decisions is the worst thing possible!
it's just a disaster with him being president, this country is going to become nothing!
i hate bush supporters! he doesnt care for the united states!
blahblahhh - you must not have read the post. As far as the President starting a war,I didn't think that was possible. I mean, the way our govt is set up, one man can not take this entire country to war. I thought that our entire government had to do that.
ugh. for a list of things that Bush has done wrong (this list is not complete) visit http://abovetheborder.blogspot.com/2006/05/what-has-bush-done-wrong.html
Basically, Bush has cut funding in every single area of the economy--except for funding towards Iraq. Note how gas prices have risen? Bush. See how ordinary people can't afford the ridiculous rent increases because their paychecks are still the same? Bush. Its all tied to Bush. I am a Christian, but there is nothing moral about letting the citizens of your country suffer while you continue to claim to protect it.
Finally, I see the question asked in the post becoming a more and more popular question. I am glad to see it finally be asked. All the liberal parrots squawk alike and repeat whatever they are fed by their propagandist media outlets.
Has our economy gone down with Bush in office? No. Will it fall apart with a Demo-rat president and congress? Yes. Has unemployment increased while Bush has been in office? No. Will it increase with the social-communist attitudes of Clinton or Obama? Yes, since they will raise huge taxes and force companies to lay off thousands.
People, get real. You don't do your own homework and research, but you will spout off the liberal mantra as a reflex. Too bad most of you libs are the ones that will be hurt most if the Dems have full control of congress and oval office.
Key Point: Quit blaming President Bush for every single thing you think up. One, it's irrational. And two, a president does not magically control everything under the sun.
I pray that we can at least have our moderate McCain in office to prevent the control by Dems that will truly ruin the USA.
