SixStringHero said:Well, depending on who you ask.
A lot of people like to claim the president is a moron or a blithering idiot so that must mean the he's not smart enough to run the country, so they over whelming say Cheney or Rove.
I have said this many times; he may not be articulate, but he's not an idiot. He is for all intents and purposes the president of this country whether people like him or not.

Then stop the presses. You heard it here, folks. Synch says that because Bush studders [sic], there is no way he could be our president. Thanks for setting (I mean, sedding) us straight, synch. Oh, and welcome to the forum.Synch said:Wrong, each and every single time I have heard his speeches he is studdering, and cannot respond to tough questions when asked by reporters.

mixedmedia said:I don't consider George Bush to be stupid, but to some extent, I do believe he is a puppet. A likable and folksy front for a not so likable and folksy agenda. Still I voted for him (in the poll!!) because I don't think there is any one person pulling the strings. I consider it more of a "team" effort.
Scarecrow Akhbar said:So, did Finn McCool discover a basement poll about who can come up with the dumbest poll ever and he wants to win it?
Bush is the prez, he got elected.
Twice.
All this nonsense about how Bush is too stupid to be the "real" president denies recent history. Carter was clearly the most incompetent man to ever hold the office. The only close second is Ford. Both Bushes are basically average presidents with no striking pluses and no notable negatives.
Heck, Bush can't even compete on the corruption scale that was topped by the last guy.
Conflict said:If anyone can cite one child of any congressman or senator, democrat or republican, that is in active duty in the US military... I will simply be astounded.
The question is not only who is the president.
The question is who's war is this?
Who's country is this?
Now it looks as if you need to be set straight. I was suspended for copying and pasting the same post into multiple threads. All threads were on the same topic, so I thought I was being efficient. Glad I could keep you honest.FinnMacCool said:Don't be a wiseass. You know what he meant.
Don't worry Synch. If this guy ever gets on your nerves, remind him that you don't take those that were suspended for trolling very seriously. KCConservatives way of greeting newbies on this forum is by attacking them and then saying welcome to the forum
KCConservative said:I saw a guy getting out of his car at a convenience store the other day. His bumper sticker said "He's not MY president". I couldn't wait to get inside and ask him: "so who IS your president?" He looked at me blankly with no answer. These people crack me up.
Scarecrow Akhbar said:The most that anyone can say, like I do, is that I didn't vote for the guy, don't blame me.
Until a president actually steals the election, like Kennedy probably did, and Al Gore tried to do, the guy in the Oral Office is OUR president.
Bet you liked that eight years of growth and the fact that he balanced the budget for the first time since Andrew Jackson?Originally posted by KCConservative:
Right. I never voted for Clinton. Never cared for his policies. Certainly didn't appreciate what he did to the sactity of the office, but he was the president. Just because I didn't like him, it didn't make me want to say foolish things that could be refuted with ease.
To say that the Bush Administration is not corrupt is quite a pollyannic statement.Originally Posted by Scarecrow Akhbar

Dishonest, Reprehensible, Corrupt ...
By Frank Rich The New York Times Sunday 27 November 2005
George W. Bush is so desperate for allies that his hapless Asian tour took him to Ulan Bator, a first for an American president, so he could mingle with the yaks and give personal thanks for Mongolia's contribution of some 160 soldiers to "the coalition of the willing." Dick Cheney, whose honest-and-ethical poll number hit 29 percent in Newsweek's latest survey, is so radioactive that he vanished into his bunker for weeks at a time during the storms Katrina and Scootergate.
The whole world can see that both men are on the run. Just how much so became clear in the brace of nasty broadsides each delivered this month about Iraq. Neither man engaged the national debate ignited by John Murtha about how our troops might be best redeployed in a recalibrated battle against Islamic radicalism. Neither offered a plan for "victory." Instead, both impugned their critics' patriotism and retreated into the past to defend the origins of the war. In a seasonally appropriate impersonation of the misanthropic Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life," the vice president went so far as to label critics of the administration's prewar smoke screen both "dishonest and reprehensible" and "corrupt and shameless." He sounded but one epithet away from a defibrillator.
The Washington line has it that the motivation for the Bush-Cheney rage is the need to push back against opponents who have bloodied the White House in the polls. But, Mr. Murtha notwithstanding, the Democrats are too feeble to merit that strong a response. There is more going on here than politics.
Much more: each day brings slam-dunk evidence that the doomsday threats marshaled by the administration to sell the war weren't, in Cheney-speak, just dishonest and reprehensible but also corrupt and shameless. The more the president and vice president tell us that their mistakes were merely innocent byproducts of the same bad intelligence seen by everyone else in the world, the more we learn that this was not so. The web of half-truths and falsehoods used to sell the war did not happen by accident; it was woven by design and then foisted on the public by a P.R. operation built expressly for that purpose in the White House. The real point of the Bush-Cheney verbal fisticuffs this month, like the earlier campaign to take down Joseph Wilson, is less to smite Democrats than to cover up wrongdoing in the executive branch between 9/11 and shock and awe.

Hey, we had a balanced budget and eight years of growth. That is an un-deniable, un-refutable fact, Jack. Deal with it. Bush is far worse than any other President in history.Originally Posted by Scarecrow Akhbar
Two statements are equivalent:
The Bush Administration is corrupt.
The Bush Administration is totally average.
Now, when you're complaining about corruption, please post your history of complaints against the Clintonistas. If you can't do that, your whines about what you think you see now are really quite irrelevant.
As for the "balanced budget" under that rapist, that had everything to do with cooking the books, the end of the savings and loan bailout, a stockmarket bubble, and a Republican congress.
Now, you may have your nose up Clinton's ass for whatever reason you wish. Skillful handling of the economy shouldn't be one of them. Needless to say, when the slime left office, the nation was entering a recession.
