This thread made me laugh out loud (literally).

You're asking a bunch of 12-15 year olds, most who haven't had a job let alone pay taxes, support themselves, or see life after high school, what their approval rating of our president is... all you're going to get is the answer the media wants them to have.

lol, i totally agree with that. Its 100% what their parents think with no self input at all.

My favorites are the "No, hes a bad president." O wow, that def shows me how smart you are. If your going to say that, at least explain why you tihnk that. In all honosty, these polls and **** are stupid, no matter who is elected many ppl with hate them and thats how its always going to be. Go to war, and anti-war ppl hate you, dont go to war, you let terrorists roam free. You have to understand that Bush said what he wanted to do and did it. That right there is enough for me.

Thank God the UN doesn't govern the world by Martial Arts.

I thought it was the US being discussed, not the UN? Anyway, while Martial Arts teaches us discipline it's not a good basis for leadership. Sun Tzu's Art of War on the other hand is. Surprisingly it does have value in modern times but I suspect most modern strategists would dismiss it - then again when you consider the utter cretinous nature of our military intelligence, it's not surprising they'd reject anything that could actually work. As-is, the Art of War could actually prove invaluable to any state that knows how to use it properly and adheres to the laws of war it lays down. Master Sun's ideals didn't just deal with latter BC military conflict, it dealt with the very essence of war and of man in battle. Suffice to say those who used it properly and did not sway from its path were those who became truly victorious (though most leaders would fall because of apathy and arrogance after pacification and unification). With self-discipline and an understanding of man in war most battles, when correctly co-ordinated and executed, are easily won. They may take time but victory is almost always assured (almost because it does rely on humans not taking the route of emotion and pandering to follies innate within us). Of course, the UN can scarcely handle modern-time warfare, I doubt they'd be remotely able to employ ancient and precise wisdom.

And this is your answer to the "stupid" responses who say Bush is a bad President? He said what he'd do and carried it through thus he is a good President? What differs between "I hate Bush" or "He's a bad President" and "He kept his word so he's good"? The majority of Presidential actions are seen through as they are outlined, although given his plan was to invade Iraq and depose Saddam, that isn't exactly a difficult task - an arduous and expensive one but victory was guaranteed. A coalition led by America and Britain was inevitably going to win. He kept his word but I fail to see how that's any different to the many other Presidents who kept their word on matters. He had strength of numbers and superior technology; he did as he said he would but that had little to do with him in all honesty.

So before you go insulting other people's responses, you might like to answer just how your own reasoning is any better. Why is he a good President?

What i said was a reason for my approval. "No,bad pres," is not a reason, its a blind statement. I said i liked the fact that he fulfilled is campaign promise, that is sometihng rarely seen in the world of polotics.

You said Bush did do what he said he was going to do, then you say what happened had nothing to do with him. Clearly me and you are not understanding eachother, because that doesnt make any sense.

So try and make sense of your own posts before you try and understand mine.

Bush is the WORST president ever, not counting of course Reagan.

Please, back that statement up with something. It is hard to tell how bad a President really was until years after he has left office.

You cannot compare the War in Iraq to Vietnam. We are no where near that stage and IMO we never will be.

Not necessarily, but in my opinion, he did a better job than Gore or Kerry would have done.

Thats so funny. When Reagan died all liberals who formely hated reagan as you do now, called him one of the best pres ever.

I actually started laughing when i saw the "Media Influenced you" posts. The media is everywhere, and influences just about everything. So you can't really say that because of that, our opinions of "hating" Bush don't count.

And how can you say that Kerry and Gore would have been just as worse? People thought that Bush was going to be good, and look how that has turned out. It's common sense that he went to war with Iraq because of his dad, and it's also common sense that it's his fault we are even in this mess. People try to blame Donald, but they don't remember who gave his that authority in the first place. Bush was never ready to be president. And he still lacks what that position needs. So i'm going to say no.


FYI, I don't think Bush has been through the worst out of any other president. Lincoln had to deal with both a civil war and slavery. :)

Plus, he kinda got shot...so i'm going to say he had it worse...

How did Lincoln have to deal with slavery? He was pro-slavery.

But he was the president of the northern states...which were against it. :)

Slavery wasnt even part of the civil war until the very end.
