BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Current Events George Bush is a great president

The man used his connections to avoid service in Viet Nam, and even failed to do the work he signed up to do as an option. If we become what the enemies thought of us to begin with, they have won, and that is what is happening.

It is all owned by six corporations! And is concentrated on making money rather than on substance. But there are more impartial sources out there. Read some of the media from outside the US, and you will be surprised about how much is left out of US news. There's a reason why we come out so low on knowledge of even where other countries, including Iraq!!!, are, let alone anything about why they choose the systems they choose. There is a reason why the US is falling down every list of quality of life, quality of healthcare, competitiveness (where weare below 5 socilist countries), tests of student knowledge, quality of infrastructure including public transportation. The thing is that the US is rich enough to be able to afford everything these countries do to put themselves higher up those lists. It's about time we started to learn from others. And Bush is totally unwilling to do that.

From what I gather from friends who have visited the USA, their media is very insular and doesn't cover the rest of the world unless American interests are directly affected. No wonder they don't seem to know how the rest of the planet ticks!

Thats well known here...

babyquacker,

You are the voice of reason!

Thanks, Jim! That's why God gave us two ears, so we could actually listen to what a person says to make enlightened, intelligent decisions and have honest discussions. If I don't believe half of what I read in American papers, why on earth would I believe what I read in foreign papers?

Did you hear what President Bush had to say on TV today? It was quite impressive in content although some of the media acted idiotic by repeating hypothtical questions. "What happens when we run out of patience?" after the president said we will put good plans in their hands and give them a chance to implement them into action.

I liked the way he said that we won't lose as long as we don't give up to the terrorists and leave before the job is done. Then he followed by saying that we won't leave as long as he is in office, as long as there is ANY threat from terrorist, or evil doers to innocent people where the terrorists hang out!

President Bush truly is a great, brave man with so much conviction and love for the country. I feel so safe knowing that he is continuing to keep terrorists in their place so we won't have another 9-11 in this country. I am proud to call him MY president and I pray to God for His guidance and strength as the president continues to make such challenging decisions.

God Bless America and God Bles Our Troups!

Actually, the "surplus" when Clinton left office was $127 billion and the deficit FY05 was $319. Unfortunately, Clinton's "surplus" included $5.8 trillion of debt, which was inherited by Bush. Additionally, much of what accounted for the "surplus" had nothing to do with Clinton's financial leadership. For instance, the tax payments on capital gains were a record $90 billion higher in 2000 which had an obvious effect on the budget.

There are so many factors which go into calculating the budget surplus/deficit, many of which change depending on who is in Office. So, you cannot truthfully say that you are comparing apples to apples.

You must also consider the recession Bush inherited from Clinton, as well as the financial effects of 9/11 and Katrina.

Bush has made great advances in improving the financial situation of our country. To name a few, he has provided tax relief to the citizens that needed it the most, his FY05 revenues were the largest in history, and after tax income for citizens has risen 15%. And these are just a few items, I could go on.
