On Foreign Policy, love the man. Taking actions on Iran and North Korea, moving past sumple talk.(And it is about time!) The White House is also taking renewed interest in Darfur, which is an example of Genocide, the expulsion of an entire group of people.
On Domestic Policy, he seems to roll over and be silent. Social Security reform STOPPED. Tax Reform STOPPED. Medicare Reform STOPPED. He has stopped talking about all these issues because some opposed them. I'd hate to see what Immigration may look like if Dems start raising opposition to that as well. By his silence, Bush has destroyed his credibility and effectiveness at pushing foreign policy. He must continue pushing for his agenda, or he will be totally ignored in the future.

Makes sense, What he is doing in the Middle East I consider as nothing short of genius. the best way to combat Terrorism is with freedom, it's the only weapon that works otherwise they just pop back up as fast as you kill em. On Domestic policy he is lacking and I don't like the Debt but I understand it somewhat. I still think he likes to throw money around...

Heh, looks like I wandered into Bizzaro-America again. I have got to stop doing that.
To contribute? Bush's Administration is doing exactly what the people who got them elected wanted them to do. So in that respect, he's "doing a good job".
As for the actual job of "leader of the U.S." itself? I don't think it'd really be possible for him to do any worse at it without declaring Martial Law.

Martial Law has not even been close to being imposed on this nation, first of all.
Secondly, look at the effect our actions in Afghanistan and Iraq have had on the world.
-Syria has finally proceeded with full withdrawal from Lebanon.
-Libya, under a dictator that has been a problem for decades, has renounced its militant ways, something many had pushed aside as impossible.
-In other Middle Eastern countries, steps have been taken to open-up(albeit a little bit) election processes.
These are but a few of the accomplishments of the Bush administration, and I applaud him for it.

Qadafi's moderations are a result of Negotiations stated by Reagan as part of a cold war effort, and cntinued with Bush Sr, Clinton and this Bush. Qadafi moderated himself (barely) as a result of decades of international negotiations, not, as all subjective-reality Bushophiles will tell you, because of iraq. yes, people in the midde east are voting, and the electoral victories of hamas, of Iran-style thocrats and of former taliban supporters may give us a idea of why they shouldnt. There's a whole lot of peple in the Mideast who want someone to nuke the s**t out of Israel, maybe letting them vote isnt such a grand idea. as for syria, well, they withdrew because the UN Implicated them in the Hariri slaying through the Fitzgerald and Mehlis reports, because of conomic sanctions and because of Ghazi Kanaan's death. To attribute it to Bush is eithr a logical fallacy or ignoring the facts to serve an agenda. From the followers of the murderous Monkey man, I dont know which one is more likely.

To ignore the effects of Bush's efforts though is also to ignore fact, I will concede that those factors also influenced these events.
On Palestine and Iran's elections, Iran's "elections" are highly limited by the clerics, so theirs cannot really be seen as fair elections. Hamas will rely on foreign aid and Canada has already withdrawn its aid unless certain concessions are made.( One of many sources :http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060329/ap_on_re_ca/canada_hamas )

Or starters, your giving them and out and taking it away from yourselves. If they are forced to preforms terrorist acts because of lack of food, medical supplies and other aid, guess what? they get to blame the other countries for not giving them aid. Where as if you gave them aid and them when they commited such and act, you would be able to yank the aid then and say, "see, we told you so world'. So once again, we prove that premeptive actions usually ends up bitting you in the a**. And finally, if Bush is doing so awesome, why is his approval at like 35-40%? That's not good in my book.

Bush? Well, firstly he needs to improve his English and public speaking skills. Bush is proof that the Ivy League schools acccept based on social status rather than merit.
As for foreign policy, he's started an unjustified preemptive war in Iraq regarding which he has repeatedly lied to the American public.
As for domestic policy, he hasn't solved any problems, and the first thing to get cut after his State of the Union was college funding. Hypocrite. And his No Child Left Behind Act is faulty.
The Patriot Act and the NSA wiretaps violate the civil liberties of the American people and make it easy for the government to abuse the powers which they grant.
You get the message... Bush is not doing a good job.

Actually, because of Baby boomers still in their prime earning rates, we have quite the SS surplus. BUT where is that surplus going? Might it be going to pay off the nation debt? no. Maybe some fund to save for when we have a SS deficit? no.
But where then? Oh yeah, Iraq. (not afganistan, Iraq-only)
As for Bush's speaking skills: Little know fact, Bush is actually a very skilled public speaker, and rarely stutters, mispronounces words or is got off guard.........he just know Chuck Norris is watching.
makes him nervous as all hell. XP

XP Lol, being a connoisseur of speeches and orations, I can definately say that Bush is terrible. I've judged seventh and eight graders at speech competitions who do better than he does. Bush's debating is terrible as well, his logic is flawed, and he has a certain tendency to base his decisions on false premises and/or contradict himself. Sad really. And a good public speaker can speak eloquently no matter who may be watching. Throughout epic literature, for centuries, one of the fundamental qualities of a good leader has been speaking skills. The art of rhetoric seems to have been lost in modern times.

Bush is doing a crappy job and the only reason he has managed to get so much done is because all branches of government belong to the republicans. The man doesn't ever compromise and isn't a good politician. Had the democrats been in control of the house the government would be in gridlock because he doesn't know how to make people happy who don't agree with him. Heck, even now republicans are starting to sharply disagree with him. Speaking of social secuirity, the man doesn't learn anything. Keeping social security unprivatized has always been popular and he just alienated himself from the elderly interest groups who gave Bush their support in the 2000 presidential election. So what does he do? He talks about how great his program is after there's no hope for it to pass and when he makes speeches he continues to try to scare people tinto going with his way. He sucks at a politician.
