I think all politics is bullshit for the most part, it tends to frustrate the hell out of me. This man annoyed me and made some bad decisions but he gets a lot of blame for everything which tends to happen to damn near every leader, even when the blame falls on many people's shoulder. He did give a speech after 9/11 that moved me though, in it was this.
‎"A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining." -George W. Bush
Say what you want, criticize what you want but if your democratic country is invaded by a foreign force,we will be the first ones there to help if you allow us too. If terrorists blow up a building we will be there to help. In fact, if you need foreign aid just ask as we are the largest givers of foreign aid in this world even with our economy. We are home to the headquarters of several hundred aid organizations who we do not tax and help to do their work across the globe. Iraq sucked, there is no doubt about and we went in under the wrong terms. It should have been "We are kicking this asshole out of power like we should have done 10 years ago, hes murdered 2 million civilians." We should not still be there in my opinion and are finally leaving although I wish we could leave behind medical personnel to help train and assist them. Afghanistan is being returned to the Afghan's in a way that could have never been done before we got there. We are not perfect, he is not perfect and nobody is perfect. I am in no way religious but this sums it up beautifully and is probably a rough translation "Let he who be without sin cast the first stone"- Jesus.
Bring the red thumbs, I've said my peace.

It's a joke, fucking calm down.
Probably like 80% of FJ is from America, and jokes are made every day on this about how everyone in the UK has shit teeth, how every Canadian is some pussy french Richard Simmonsgot obsessed with hockey who live in igloos, etc, and we laugh, and thumb it up, because it's a fucking joke, but if one person says that Americans are hicks there's instantly a shit storm, with a bunch of butthurt Americans like "I'm american and I'm not a fat hick!!11"

They hated us well before 9/11. Case in point: 9/11
How did Bush cause it when he was only in office for a few months?
Bush didn't deregulate the banks, Clinton did. The economy was good when he was in office so he made it so that poor people could get houses that they could barely afford. Then when the economy took a downturn (as it always does in our economic cycle) it tanked because all those people foreclosed.
I guess you could argue that it's his fault for not re-regulating the banks, but I doubt he could have taken away houses from the poor after the whole "george bush hates black people" crap.

the fact was he had 7 years, you can't blame the policy in 2008 on a president who had been gone nearly a decade ago. I can't believe you are blaming the recession on what basically seems you are saying the government being just too generous lol
You can't say giving poor people houses caused a SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR bail out. Even in 2008 America still had a large problem of people living on the street.

well it was the banks choice to bet a lot of money so it was their fault
Let me put an example to try and show you where i'm coming from:
You lend me all of your money
I gamble all that money on Manchester United to win a football match
They lose all that match and with it i lose all that money
Now who's fault is it your money is now gone?
Me? or Manchester Uniteds?

He was already in office in 2001.
I assume you're talking about his second term, which you probably weren't old enough to remember. In retrospect it's easy to say that he "used 9/11". People forget that at the time, people loved him. His approval ratings were through the roof, everyone was behind invading iraq and they wanted to assure that something like 9/11 could never happen again so they passed to Patriot Act. Just because people approved of his handling of it doesn't mean he "used" it.
For the first time in a very long time the president actually gave the people what they wanted and it came back to slap him in the face because the American people change their minds at the drop of a hat.
