Presidential Opinions

Things are a little slow on the board tonight, so I thought I would start a thread pertaining opinions about president Bush. According to NBC nightly news, the president's approval rating has dropped to 46%, with 49% of those surveyed voicing their disapproval of his performance. Only 41% gave him good marks for 'being honest and straightforward'. I'm curious to see what other's think of his performance.

Here is a link to the article reporting the survey.

I dislike discussing politics as it just leads to fights and arguing.
I support our troops, and the leader of our country.
I may not always agree with him, but I don't always agree with anyone.

That's true, political discussions often evoke an emotional response. I'm curious about other's opinions.

No one is perfect or always makes the best decision. I am sure he has made some mistakes. But he has also made some great things happen. Sometimes people like to focus on the negatives rather than the positives though. Maybe thats the problem. That's all I really have to say. I agree that politics tend to get ugly.

I agree 100%. Then again he is my boss I kinda have to. I don't agree with all his choices, but I do feel he has done a good job over all. It sucks that the media focuses on the bad, and doesn't report all the good things that have happened in Iraqi. Most likely come the first of the year I will be able to let you know first hand.

I hate that the media focuses so much on the negative news. I watch the national news and they report about suicide bombings, serial killers, and corporate fraud to name a few. Then I watch the local news and see a 5 year old was murdered, there is a serial rapist that is evading the police, and some old people were screwed out of thier retirement. It seems like it is never ending. Then the last 1 minute they report some heart-warming story and it is supposed to make everything better....frustrating.

I like and support Bush. Honestly I find myself very irritated when I see people who still have Kerry stickers on their cars, or who stand on street corners with signs, or "Impeach Bush" flags on cars and such. I don't understand if they didn't see who won the election, or what the heck they think Congress is gonna impeach Bush for...but...whatever.I think his two terms as President should go down as successful in the history books. I'd imagine its not exactly an easy situation to have your country "bombed" by terrorists the first quarter of the first term of your presidency, and I think he handled it well and America recovered well.
